“TAILORED LIGHTNING”
For Better Motoring
In the great engincering laboratories of The Electric
Auto-Lite Company in Toledo, Ohio, a group of
‘Auto-Lite neers have been probing
inside engine cylinder walls, peering at “blow-by-
biow” spark performances, charting the behavior
acteristics of man-made “lightning” across the
spark plug gap. From endless tests they've deter-
mined what your engine's ignition system needs
most, and then set about producing spark plugs to
fill the bill. Net result: Ignition Engineered Auto-
Lite Spark Plugs . . . the spark plugs that are
world famous for quality and performance.

POPULAR MECHANICSHere is some
interesting news
about your automobile
Just suppose you are driving at 40 miles
an hour on a level road. The power, of
course, comes from the gasoline you feed
your motor. Yet 50% of the power gen-
erated by the motor doesn't do a thing
to make your car go farther or faster, or
climb a steeper hill.
Why? Because that power never gets
to the rear wheels, It is used to overcome
engine friction, And we don't ask you to
take our word for it — America’s automo-
tive engineers have proved it.
Now, along comes a motor oil that
proves it further reduces this engine fric-
tion. Which means the engine delivers
the same power with less gasoline,
Tes simple as ABC: The less engine fric-
tion, the lers gas it takes to run your car.
This has been strikingly demonstrated
in recent months. Hundreds and hundreds
of cars—cars of all makes and ages —
cars that had been using every nationally
known brand of motor oil — were given
the Dynamometer Test. This is a machine
devised by engineers to measure the pow-
er an engine delivers to the rear wheels.
And what happened? After the oil in
these cars had been changed co Macmil-
lan, the same power was developed with an
average of 8% less gasoline.
‘The minute you change to Macmillan,
you'll get an increase in power and gaso-
line mileage. You cut down on “drag"—
your gasoline “pushes” easier than before.
‘After your second or third drain, you'll
get an average increase in gasoline mile-
age of 89%!
MAY 1951
That's because Macmillan has not only
reduced engine friction but also has 1e-
duced carbon and gum deposits in the
combustion chamber, on rings, valves, and
valve stems. This results in higher com-
pression because of better piston seal—
smoother operation, and less tendency for
the motor to ping.
Do you know what this means in
money? Figuring gasoline at an average
of 25¢ a gallon, it means you save 2¢ a
gallon—simply by changing your motor
oil to Macmillan.
That's a big saving —isn't it? Yer it’s
small when you realize bow much more you
save in repair bills. Because : The less fric-
tion, the less wear and tear on your car.
New motors stay newer longer.
Finally, remember this Macmillan
Motor Oil not only fights friction but
removes carbon from your motor — cleans
your motor as you drive,
Ask for this fine motor oil at independ-
ent dealers where you see the sign of the
big red “M.” It means Money in your
pocket, Mileage in your car. Try the OIL.

makes a BIG
difference in your car
A pint of Pyroif in the crankease, a few ounces
in the gas tank, and you'll notice a big difference in
your car. Why? Because Pyroil has the extraor-
Ginary property of making ordinary oll cling to
fensine parts. This coating of protective lubrication
eliminates friction between piston rings and cyl-
incer walls. Pyroll stops cosily wes tear
‘caused by metal-to-metal contact. It assures instant
lubrication when you step on the starter—it pre~
vents oil from draining off vital parts when you
tum off the engine.
Yes, a little Pyroll (at so little cost) will make a
big difference in the life of your car. Ask your cas
station attendant to add Pyroil—add miles to your
car.

ILL "ER UP WITH LPG.” Some 200,000
bus and truck drivers and power farm-
ers are saying it as they drive alongside the
big propane-butane pressure tanks at fill-
ing stations around the country.
And now private motorists are beginning
to join the line. It isn't cheap, converting
your car from gasoline to liquefied petro-
leum gas; but once you've converted, you
“fil er up” at much lower cost per gallon
and you have a sweet-running, knock-free
engine.
Take it from Jud Purvis, a Chicago mo-
torist who converted his car to LPG and
will vouch for its carbon-free performance.
He tells how it's done in a featured article
next month.
White-Hot Ingot Takes 200-Mile Ride
In Canada, steelmen have come up with
a novel time and labor-saving technique—
they recently shipped a white-hot ingot 200
miles by rail. The project was so success-
ful that it has become routine. The 130,000-
pound ingots, at a temperature of 1600
degrees Fahrenheit, are packed in vermicu~
lite, an insulating material. During the trip
the temperature drops only 195 degrees.
Normally, an ingot would have to be cooled
six weeks before it could be shipped, then
reheated for 10 days at the receiving point

While looking through the December

He sent a picture of what was called the
“Mail Buggy.” He told how much he en-
joyed it, but said he did not know to whom
the tribute of construction should go.

1922. It was first manufactured in a little
town in middle-western Wisconsin. It was
planned and made by two brothers—my
dad and uncle—John and Henry Swansen.
When the original Eskimobile was planned,
these men had in mind to make a machine
that could be used for all kinds of work
and pleasure.
There were many different types. The
first to be constructed was the Eskimobile.
From this developed the Stili-Mobile, Ski-
Mobile and Snow Cat. These were designed
| to serve well in the kind of weather we
have around here—an extreme amount of
snow in the winter and lots of mud in
spring and summer.
Many of the mobiles were sold in Illinois,
Minnesota, Ohio, Iowa and Canada, an
we have heard of one in Arizona ...
Lam sending you some pictures to illus~

tures will show you some of the different
styles and some of the things they are used
for. The picture of the Stilt-Mobile was
taken in a wooded area near Almena. This
picture is of Mr. and Mrs. Homer Person
and their record kill in big bucks.

doing much experimenting with the idea of
putting the engine over the rear axle. The
verdict at that time was, “It cannot be
done.” Every year since I have read of
somebody trying the same thing, and the
verdict still is the same, “It cannot be done.”
‘When the power of the motor is applied
to the rear axle, it has a tendency to lift
the front end. With the early models, with
short wheelbase and the engine in the
middle under the seat, they have actually
been known to “rare up” and tip over back-
ward when going up a steep hill. Farm
tractors still do this sometimes. So in order
to have the car hold the road on hills and
at high speed on curves, it has been neces
sary to put the engine up front to hold the
front end down...

Letter to the Editor
The interesting article, “Rockets on a
Timetable,” by Richard F. Dempewolff in
your November issue has come to my at-
tention. On a level of general information,
it is most interesting and informative.
I wish to call your attention particularly
to the misinformation the article contains
with reference to high-strength hydrogen
peroxide, Your attention is invited to the
caption for the picture on the lower left of
page 98 which reads as follows: “Fuel ex-
perts load a big rocket with hydrogen
peroxide. Chemical, which will explode if
touched, roils off plastic suits.” This cap-
tion is deliberately misinforming since we
can state, categorically, that hydrogen per-
oxide will not “explode” by being touched
with anything,
Noah S. Davis, Jr., Manager,
Special Projects Bept.,
Buffalo Electro-Chemical Co., Inc.,
Buffalo, N. Y.
Mr. Davis is right. Hydrogen peroxide
will not explode on contact with most clean
substances, provided it is not in a sealed
container. However, a dirty or catalytically
contaminated material, which is combus-
tible, can be made to burn by spilling hy-
drogen peroxide on it. Rocket scientists in
the Viking program have used hydrogen
peroxide at White Sands for a couple of
years without mishaps. “On the other
hand,” they say, “most of us have a lively
respect for the potential dangers of hydro-
gen peroxide when not handled properly.”
Fires started by hydrogen peroxide being
spilled on contaminated material can be
easily extinguished with water.

POPULAR MECHANICSINVENTORS
Lear how to protect your invention. The U. §. Patent
Laws provide that any new and useful art, machine, article of
manufacture, or composition of matter, or any new and
useful improvement thereof, may be patented if the act of
invention is involved. Therefore, every inventor with a
valuable invention should take advantage of the Patent Laws
and proceed for patent protection in order to safeguard
his rights.
A patent gives the inventor the exclusive right to prevent
others from making, using, or selling the invention claimed
in the patent for a period of seventeen years.
The Patent Laws were enacted for the benelit of the inventor
to give him protection for the features of his invention which
are patentable. These features must be properly and con-
cisely set forth and claimed in a formal application for patent,
in order to comply with the requirements of the Patent Laws.
For that reason, unless the inventor is familiar with patent
matters, he should engage a competent registered patent
atiorney or agent to represent him. We are registered to
practice before the U. S. Patent Oifice and are prepared to
serve you in the handling of your patent matters.
A specially prepared booklet entitled “Patent Guide for
the Inventor”, containing detailed information with respect
to patent protection and procedure, together with a “Record
of Invention” form will be promptly forwarded to you without
obligation upon request.

If you believe that you have an invention, you should find out how
to protect it. The first step is to have a search made of the prior
pertinent U. S. patents. If a report on.this search indicates that
the invention appears patentable you can apply for a patent, and
the specifications and claims should be prepared.
The firm of McMorrow, Berman & Davidson, with offices in Wash:
ington, D. C., is qualified to take the necessary steps for you. We can
make a preliminary search on your invention, advise you whether we
think it can be patented, and prepare your application for patent.
Unless you are fully familiar with the U. S. Patent Laws, we recom-
mend that you engage the services of a Registered Patent Attorney
to protect your interests. The patent laws are your laws. A patent
gives you the right to prevent others from making, using or selling
the invention claimed in your patent for a period of 17 years.
Use these patent laws for your protection. Investigate whether your
invention can be patented. If you have what you believe to be an in-
vention, we suggest that you have this firm make a search for you.
Send for a copy of our Patent Booklet entitled
“How To Protect Your Invention,” containing in-
formation about patent protection and patent
procedure. Along with this we will also send you
an “Invention Record’ form, for your use in
writing down and sketching details of your in-
vention. We will mail them promptly. No obli-
gation. They are yours for the asking.

Insecticides From Wasp Venom?
Scientists are hoping that the powerful ven-
om of a tiny wasp will produce new insecti-
cides. One drop of the venom, so tiny it can
barely be seen through a microscope, can kill
more than 1600 caterpillars, according to tech-
nicians at the Connecticut Agricultural Ex-
periment Station. The scientists hope to deter~
mine the nature and action of the venom, then
produce synthetic materials with the same
deadly effect.

A patent is a valuable right. On
the basis of a constitutional provi-
sion Congress has established a sys-
tem under which inventors may
secure the exclusive right to pre- |
vent the unauthorized use, manu- |
facture and sale of their inventions
for periods of seventeen years. The
inventor secures this protection by
obtaining a patent.
Unless an inventor is thoroughly
familiar with such matters, he is
advised to employ a competent
registered patent attorney or reg-
istered patent agent, as the value
of patents depends largely upon
the skillful preparation of the
specifications and claims.
This firm is registered to practice
before the U. S, Patent Office and
is available to assist inventors in
the preparation and prosecution of
their cases. Detailed information
and the preliminary steps to take
to obtain patent protection will be
furnished upon request.
