LOCOMOTIVE DEVELOPED FOR OSM! I I- UQUFIED PETROLEUM GAS I : The Union Pacific Railroad Company announced on June 16 that they had tested the first locomotive to be powered with propane gas. These tests were very satisfactory and the results speak for them selves. This locomotive weighed only 276 tons and pulled a freight train of 79 cars which had a weight of 4,650 tons. This one power unit developed 4,800 horsepower or more than three diesel powered units operating together. UflUra PETROLEUM GAS AS MOTOR FUEL It has been proven through actual use by bus lines, truck fleets, taxi fleets and other users that your LP Gases, butane and propane, are the most nearly perfect fuels available for internal combustion engines. Their use as a motor fuel first began on the west coast and has now spread all the way to the east coast. Al though the use in the eastern part of the United States has just recently started, these gases were used as long as 20 years ago as a motor fuel. You can readily see that this is not Something new by any means. Today you will find that several of your manufacturers of trucks and tractors offer their, equipment for use with either gasoline or LP gas. In the not too distant future you will be offered your new automobile to come equip ped, if you desire, to bum butane or propane gas. The advantages of these fuels are many and varied. One of the ex penses of any internal combustion en gine is the frequent oil changes. Pe troleum engineers state that oil DOES NOT WEAR OUT. The oil does, how ever, become dirty, contaminated and diluted. This means an oil change Your LP Gases, with no carbon to dirty the oil or liquid to dilute the oil, make frequent oil changes a thing of the past. This lack of carbon and dilution does away with fouled spark plugs and gummed rings and lets the engine be lubricated as it should be. All this tends to increase the life of, the engine and cut down on mainten-' ance costs. Another advantage to users of heavy equipment such as tractors, trucks, industrial engines, etc., is the increased pulling power or “lugging ability’* Many truckers have stated that they are able to go up hills one gear better than with gasoline, giv ing a savings in both time and fuel. Trucks powered with LP Gas are be ing seen more and more often on the 111 I j/ I 1 \ / i/Tran-/ Fretting About Small Kitchen Space!

The modem farmer today can heat his house; heat water; refrigerate; cook and run his farm equipment on LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM GAS, Using this fuel around his home, it is easy to see why the modem farmer is turning to LP Gas to bum in his tractors and trucks. Industry Turning To Gas For Help The industrial field for gas, the fuel, has so many ramifications and tech nical problems that it requires highly specialized sales and engineering abil ity. Gas so far has found more than 22,000 distinct applications in indus try, and additional uses are continu ously being developed. / One common industrial application to cite an example is the heat treat ment of steel and other metals to harden them. For this purpose gas : can maintain for hours constant tem peratures, often as high as 1,800 de grees Fahrenheit, within a variation of five degrees. Constancy of high temperature is a prime requirement in heat treating. During the way the gas industry not only played an important part by .maintaining vital home services, but 'also did its full share, and more, co build up immense output of munitions. Research during the war developed methods of high speed gas heating which are revolutionary in nature and • accomplishment. In these ways the gas industry i helped win the war. In doing so it also .enlarged- its own capacity to help American business attain new heights of commercial and manufacturing ef ficiency in the years just ahead. THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON. N. C. THURSDAY OCTOBER 22, 1953. Gas Meets Test Os General Public; I Wins Acceptance, i The superiority of gas and gas 1 cooking appliances has been well prov- : ed in more than 27 million American homes where gas is used today. The value of any product is proved, by public acceptance and Green’s Fuel ( can point to the fact that sales in-1 cfease rapidly each year as evidence! that the public has more than accept ed it as an inexpensive, reliable fuel. “Green’s Fuel sales in the Southeast show a fine gain each year,” says J. S. “Jim” Dunford, manager of the Western Gas Service. “The public believes in Green’s Fuel and sales rec ords bear out this faith. Gas is now one of the leading industries in the United States.” Utilizing the technical improve ments of recent years, America’s fore most industrial engineers have made gas ranges as modem and attractive as they are efficient. The modem gas range is consist ently demonstrating its superior con venience, flexibility and economy. The continuous service offered by gas is an important factor in the popularity of gas cooking. “Millions of dollars have been ex pended on extensive research and pro duct development of the modem gas range,” Dunford said. “Western Gas Service is proud that it can offer such modem, efficient and flexible ranges to the public. We are firmly con ' vinced that our ranges are the finest that money can buy.” Regardless of the needs of the in dividual family there is a modern gas range for every need from the com pact cooker for use in a small house or apartment to the deluxe six or eight burner range for the swanky home. Only in modem gas ranges will a person find large variety of style, models, sizes, top burner arrange , ments, broilers and over combinations to fit every need. Modem gas ranges bearing the fam ous CP trademarks, in addition to the AGA star of approval and their own brand name are built to rigid high performance standards set by lead ing manufacturers, gas utilities, lead ing home economists, engineers and homemakers. “We have found that once a parson uses a gas range they will not give it up for another type,” Dunford says. “That is the kind of loyalty! which has built our business.” ******* - —— -[/ w Mighty.

Miles are merely a challenge calling for improved methods and means of transmission. Here, in the development of these modem systems of communication, gas continues to play another of its | major roles as an industrial process ing fuel. I In radio and television, the versa tility of gas is well demonstrated. The familiar tubes in receiving sets, the picture screens of television, the giant tubes of transmitter stations—these are products of gas-fired, gas melting tanks, forming molds, stem machines and annealing ovens. In addition, the miles of copper wire, the thousands of filaments and the myriad heat-treated parts of a radio or television set were processed in one of the many gas fires united in the production line. For telephone and cable manufac turing, the use of gas is so common that it is frequently overlooked. Braz ing, annealing, laminating, are just a few of the many ways in which man ufacturers apply gas. Yet these pro cesses emphasize the virtually un limited opportunities for efficient heat-processing with gas. Photography and printing, two oth er methods of bringing you the world’s sights and sounds, have at least one common bond. In the manu facture of cameras and photographic materials and in the printing of newspapers and magazines gas always has been an important factor—es sential in mechanical, chemical and physical operations. To enumerate each application is unnecessary but it’s in these widely varied fields of communication that the versatility of gas is demonstrated. For any industrial application in the manufacture of communication equip ment, metal products, textiles, chemi cals, foods, the advantage of gas can be readily proved. There’s always a way to do production-line heating sim ply and economically with gas. The Western Gas Service in Eden ton will be happy to give you details or help you solve your problems. GAS DEPENDABLE Dependability of gas service, low first cost of modern gas ranges, low cost of upkeep, low operating cost and modem insulation which prevents heat loss and conserves fuel are features | of gas service.
