...called, consists of a chamber surrounding the intake manifold, in which a small amount of gasolene is exploded and then drawn into the manifold thus raising the temperature of the gas to a high degree. The gasoline is drawn into the Fuelizer chamber by a small pipe leading from below the butterfly valve, is circulated at high velocity in the chamber by the explosion caused by the spark plug in the chamber, and then goes through a small opening into the manifold where the usual wet and cold mixture from the carburetor is converted into superheated gas which explodes entirely...
...temperature being 11 degrees Fahrenheit, showed that an instantaneous start was made possible by the Fuelizer, perfect response to the throttle being gained in ten seconds. Another advantage is its automatic action; as the feed to the Fuelizer chamber is below the butterfly valve, suction through the pipe will be strong when the value is closed, as at low speeds, and will be less and less as the valve is opened and good running conditions result. Thus the Fuelizer helps when it is most needed, and is shut off when the motor...
...tend to place both sides on a similar footing. to place both sides on a similar footing. The "Hydrostatic paradox of controversy" expounded by Oliver Wendell Holmes seems peculiarly applicable to the present controversy. If you had a sent tube one arm of which was the size of a pipe-stem, and the other big enough to hold the ocean, water would stand at the same height in one as in the other. Controversy equalizes fools and wise men in the same way--and the looks know...
