Thus, more efficiency for the B. & O., more kudos for George B. Ecker, its inspector of fuel economy...
Danish Diesel. In the usual Diesel engine, fuel oil and air are sprayed together into the cylinders and exploded under 1,000-lb. pressure. Burmeister & Wain, Danish motor builders, have redesigned a Diesel which uses oil under 5,000-lb. pressure and takes in its air on the cylinder down-strokes. No time is needed to get up steam, as in the locomotor (15 min.) or the usual locomotive (30 min.). Operating cost is, by report, one-fifth that of ordinary Diesels. The unit is 10% to 15% lighter, and powerful enough to draw a train. Danish railroads are testing...
...rumor linked two old Standard Oil units in a $1,000,000,000 merger. Oldest (1866) of existing oil companies, Vacuum Oil Co. was reported ready and anxious to unite with Standard Oil Co. of New York. As Vacuum makes lubricants (Gargoyle Mobiloil) and Standard of New York makes fuel (Socony gasoline), the two companies do not compete. Hence, the Department of Justice may approve their reunion...
...these motors use gasoline for fuel. It must be a high-grade gasoline. And it is expensive. A cheaper fuel, such as fuel oil, is desirable. So research has been going on. Diesel engines burn fuel oil. But Diesel engines are ponderous. Packard's triumph is that its engineers have designed a light-weight Diesel-type motor that burns cheap fuel oil efficiently, and is air-cooled. Although it is a radial, its invention gives promise of an "in-line" air-cooled successor...
