...problems raised in constructing increasingly large water wheel and turbo-generators are for the most part mechanical," declared Morris Stone '23 research engineer for the Westinghouse Company, in a recent interview with a CRIMSON reporter. "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...
Coach E. J. Brown '96 was unable to give any definite plans for the prospects of an outdoor session, but expressed his hope, if conditions turn out favorably, to get four or five shells into the water...

...ordinary motorcar engine, with its 4, 6 or 8 cylinders set in a line, or its 6, 8 or 12 cylinders arranged in a deep V. has much less wind resistance than the radial airplane motor. Cooling by water requires bulk and weight, yet many a large and powerful plane uses Packard and Curtiss water-cooled models...
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...
