"Seven years ago the largest generator was capable of producing only 20,000 kilowatts; but recently a 95,000 kilowatt generator has been built and at present one is under construction which will produce 160,000 kilowatts. In increasing the size of these generators, the electrical companies have been facing mechanical rather than electrical difficulties...

When an internal combustion motor operates it generates heat. In practically all automobile motors the heat is diffused by circulating water. Water takes up room and has weight. Weight and bulk have little importance in ground motoring but in flying they form a great handicap. Air-cooled motors are lighter and preferable...
