...well give Ford a Grand Prix championship to go with the victories it has already won at Indianapolis, Le Mans and on the stock-car circuit. Constructed mainly of aluminum, with a single-plane crankshaft (instead of the usual V-8 two-plane shaft) that permits a simplified exhaust system, the engine took a year and a half to develop, and can actually be tuned, if desired, to put out as many as 420 horses...
Motor vehicles account for an esti mated 60% of the pollutants that contaminate the nation's atmosphere. To combat this growing menace, Congress empowered Health, Education and Welfare Secretary John W. Gardner to limit such pollutants. As a result automobile manufacturers have installed exhaust controls on 1968 model cars. To meet this year's HEW standards, the new control devices must reduce the emission of hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide, major sources of automotive pollution, by 60% and 50% respectively. But even this improvement will be more than counterbalanced as the number of U.S. cars increases each year. Faced...
Gardner's proposals call for an elimination of 77% of the hydrocarbons and 68% of the carbon monoxide released through an automobile's exhaust pipe. How close has U.S. industry come to producing a device that would satisfy the proposed 1970 standards? At least one control system, said Interior Secretary Stewart Udall last week, has shown that "technology already exists that can be adapted to the internal-combustion engine to meet the air-pollution standards proposed...
Within Limits. The new device, now undergoing tests by the Interior Department's Bureau of Mines, is called an exhaust-manifold reactor. Developed by Du Pont over the past two years, the reactor system would replace the regular manifold unit on U.S. vehicles. It consists of two 4½-in. by 22-in. alloy-coated stainless-steel cylinders that fit over the sides of a standard V-8 engine. (Only one reactor is required for a six-cylinder model.) As high-temperature exhaust gases flow into the reactors, air is blown into them by a small pump, causing...
...Every weekend for two years the Gens sons, Heinz, 26, and Josef, 23, carried construction materials into their shop near St. Severin's Gate in Cologne, Germany. Aided by friends, they carried out large quantities of earth. From the building came the sound of an internal-combustion engine. Exhaust vapor escaped through a pipe in the roof. Neighbors deduced that they were building a secret racing car; the Gens boys insisted that they were merely enlarging their basement. They were indeed digging-straight down. In the process, they were uncovering one of the most important Roman relics ever found...
