...Samuel McGowan United States Navy, by W. V. Dougherty Occ., the University Aeronautical Society was informed that its bid for a sea plane had been accepted and that it is ready for immediate delivery. The plane is an Aeromarine 39B sea plane equipped with a Curtiss OXX 8-cylinder motor. The Society will have it in operation by the beginning of the spring recess. The plane will be kept at a hangar at Marblehead which has been loaned to the Society by the Burgess Airplane Company. The club also is planning to have a small club house at Marblehead...

...benefits of this small device are many. Due to the complete combustion, the danger of unburned kerosene cutting away the lubricant from the cylinder wall, resulting in scoring, is done away with.

Another advantage is its automatic action; as the feed to the Fuelizer chamber is below the butterfly valve, suction through the pipe...
