Thus, two months ago, spoke a proud president - Charles N. Teetor, aged pa riarch of the Teetors of Hagerstown, Ind. The company was Perfect Circle Co., greatest maker of piston rings for gasoline engines. Cause for pride were earnings of $901,831, 48% better than in 1930, .05% ($510) better than in record...
Perfect Circle Co. reported nine-month earnings of $736,000 against $528,000. This company is the oldest and biggest maker of piston rings. Successive names of the company have been: Railway Cycle Manufacturing Co. (1891); Light Inspection Car Co. (1900); Teetor-Hartley Motor Co. (1914); Indiana Piston Ring Co. (1918-28). Its plants are in Hagerstown, Newcastle and Tipton, Ind., turn out 5,000,000 rings a month. Its directorate includes: C. N. Teetor, R. R. Teetor, Lothair Teetor, D. H. Teetor, H.

...furnace heats the base of one boiler-cylinder to 900° F. (688° above water's boiling point). The superheated water expands (but cannot change to steam because it is too closely confined) and pushes a piston at the far end of this cylinder. Cold water or air, applied against the piston end of the boiler, cools the confined water sufficiently to make it contract and suck the piston back to its original position. The external cold water or air is shut off, the cooled water in the boiler coils passes into the second cylinder, and newly heated...
...cooled water which left the first cylinder for the second is still much above the boiling point. It carries a certain amount of heat energy which it transfers to the second piston upon its being cooled and contracted a second time...
...throttle. His average time for the two trips- 245.733 rn.p.h.. faster by 14 m.p.h. than the late Sir Henry Segrave's previous world record. Next day in a little car he set a new world record of 94.031 m.p.h. for cars of less than 45 cubic inches piston displacement. Said he of both runs: "I was lucky. . . . The wet sand cut my speed down. . . . High speed is nothing if you have control...
