Our Greatest Motor Boat Races.

The Series in Competition for the A. P. B. A. Gold Challenge Cup on Lake George.

World's Records Twice Broken and Fifty Miles an Hour in Competition Finally Reached.
By C. F, Chapman

OR the first time since 1904 the Gold Challenge Cup has

left the waters of upper New York State. For nine con-

secutive years the trophy was held by various clubs at the
Thousand Islands and last year by the Lake George Regatta
Association, it having been won in 1913, as everyone remem-
bers, by the consistent performances of the old reliable, Ankle
Deep. Now it goes to the Motor Boat Club of America, a club
virtually having no club house or anchorage, although New
York City is generally supposed to be its home. Where next
year’s races will be held for this most important trophy of the
country no one dares prophesy, but it behooves this club if it

has one breath left, to pull itself together and uphold the honor

which has been thrust uponit.

To Mrs. Commodore
Blackton goes great honor
for winning this highly
prized trophy against the fin-
est field of motor boats which
have ever been together, in
the cleanest and best con-
ducted series of events which
the world has ever known.
To the manufacturers of the
two makes of motors with
which all the craft were pow-
ered, is due in no small mea-
sure the success of motor
boat racing in this country at
present. Rapid has been the
development in these high-
speed racing engines within
one short year since the last
race for the Gold Cup, as
was well demonstrated by
the outclassing of the boat
which had everything her
own way in 1913. The motor
in the winning boat stood up
like a soldier throughout the
entire races, which totaled
Over 100 statute-miles, but
consumed only 125 minutes,
27 seconds, racing time. Not
only did the motors in the
other winnifig boats behave
perfectly, but those in boats
which came in at later inter-
vals reported no trouble of
consequence and it was no
dishonor to be defeated in
the Gold Cup races of 1914.

Watching the races from Green Island, Lake George.

Those troubles which were reported were not the fault of the
main power plants, but, in general, could be traced to some
minor auxiliary such as too small a propeller shaft, a defective
chain for driving the magneto, a poor gear, etc.

While many pages might be written in praise of the power

plants in the boats, and the many good features in the de-
velopments of their designs pointed out, yet as much could
not be said in regard to the hulls of the boats. It is true that
those of the first several boats to finish were well near perfect,
and taken as a whole were a considerable advancement over
the year previous, vet in other hulls there was the same old
tendency to slight strength, working on the assumption, prob-
ably, that things would be
strong enough to last until
the finish line was reached
and why worry after that. It
was just this policy that
made a big failure out of at
least one of the boats, and
perhaps did not give the
power plants a real show in
some of the other craft. It
is too much to require that
an eight or twelve-cylinder
motor besides being obliged
to propel the boat at an al-
most mile-a-minute rate
should have to help hold the
hull together besides. No
motor can do its best under
such conditions, and the
sooner that some designers
realize that some of the
faults which are attributed to
engine design, are really up
to them themselves on ac-
count of turning out a poorly
designed and weak hull, then
the sooner will we see the
phrase, “did not finish” elimi-
nated from the score card.
That “weight” is not the
whole story in hydroplane
design was more strongly
emphasized than ever before.
The first three boats to finish
in the first race were heavy
hulls, in fact several hundred
pounds heavier than some of
their defeated rivals and
with less power, too, yet

the amount of original compression,
which is not a constant quantity in dif-
ferent motors, which caused the win-
ning or losing of this big event. Also,
the trueness of the propeller may. be
responsible for it, for one does not have
to use his imagination to a very great
extent to appreciate the enormous
thrusts and strains which the propeller
blades must undergo in a case like this.
One blade, a little too soft or a little too
hard might change its shape or pitch
slightly, ‘which would have a tendency
to affect the whole working mechanism
and perhaps throw it out of balance.
It further shows that the whole ques-
tion of hull design is more one of
€xperiment and “cut and try” than any-
thing else and the designer who con-
tents himself with the lines of his boat
on the drawing board and nothing more
is doomed to go down to defeat.
Contrary to the usual order of things,
at motor boat races all the arrangements
were made well in advance and the
events were ably handled by a regatta
committee which knew its business
from the start. The wheels had been
set in motion months previous, and
when the time came for the starting
signal on the first day everything was in
readiness and every one connected with
the regatta was in his place. The boats
were ready, too, and there was no wait-
ing an hour or more for a belated en-
trant to show up. In fact, all the
arrangements were of the highest order
and the officials of the Lake George Re-
gatta Association, especially the chair-

e) t man of its regatta committee, Capt. Albert L. Judson, are to

nautical miles around with the start and finish line at the center
point of a three-mile straightaway. A more ideal course could
not be wished for and it was with a feeling of satisfaction that
so much care had been taken with these details that the official
speed of Baby Reliance V was figured out at the finish of the
first day’s races and found to be 50.41 statute miles an hour,
and later, when it was found that Baby Speed Demon II in the
second race had bettered her rival’s time for the thirty nautical
mile course by four seconds and thus established a new record
of 50.49 miles an hour. Two new world’s records within
two days by dif-
ferent boats will
surely go down in
history as a real
achievement.

boats in competition can hardly be disputed with justice. This
being a sanctioned event by the American Power Boat Associ-
ation, the only real governing body in this country, whose
racing commission had active supervision over the laying out
of the course, the timing and other arrangements, gives official
recognition to these figures.

There are some persons, of course, who will immediately
claim that this speed was bettered in England last year in
competition for the Harmsworth trophy, but as there was,
even at the time when these latter races were held, a doubt
in the minds of many as to correctness of the English course
and as no official governing body had given sanction to these
races or supervised the arrangements, the speed made by the
winner, Maple Leaf IV, can hardly be accepted as official. A
little comparison with the speed which Ankle Deep made in
this year’s Gold Cup races and that credited to her when
abroad last fall will bring out this point very clearly.

Ankle Deep probably never ran better than she did in
either the first or the second day’s races at Lake George—
every one will agree to that. She was as consistent in
her performance as a railway train; in fact, one enthu-
siast attempted to forecast, after timing her over the
first two rounds on the first day, at what time she would
finish. But he failed utterly, for this three-year-old
boat finished four seconds before he had calculated she
would. Deducting the 38 seconds which Ankle Deep
was late in getting over the line on the first day, we find
her elapsed time for each of the five rounds of six
nautical miles each to be as follows: 8:45, 8:45, 8:45,
8:46, 8:43, or a total of 43 minutes, 44 seconds. Again
on the second day we find her right on the schedule time
of 8:45, 8:45, 8:45, 8:44, 8:44, or one second faster for

in giving aid to all American shipping by fly-
ing storm warning signals which all who sail
within sight of the display stations may read.
And there is one flag especially dedicated to
the small motor boat which because of its
smallness might experience difficulty in a
breeze which would not deter an ocean liner
from leaving port. This warning signal is a
red pennant which, when flown alone indicates
that moderately strong winds are expected.
The other storm warnings although not
primarily intended for small craft, apply to
them still more forcibly and they should be
memorized by every motor boatman who has
his boat in unsheltered or only semi-protected
waters. A square flag with a- black center
indicates that a storm of marked violence is
expected within 12 or 24 hours, a red ora
white pennant displayed with the flag shows
from what quadrant of the compass the wind
is expected and the position of the pennant in
relation to the flag shows from what quarter
the wind is expected. So, a white pennant
flown above the flag announces the coming of
a storm from the northwest quadrant and the
white pennant below the flag gives warning of
a southwesterly storm. A red pennant flown

above or below the square flag warns of an
easterly storm from the northerly or the
southerly quadrants respectively. By night a

red light indicates easterly winds from either
quadrant and a white light below the red
forebodes westerly winds. Two red flags with
black centers, flown one above the other in-
dicate, in the words*of the Weather Bureau,
“the expected approach of a tropical hurricane,
or one of those extremely severe and danger-
ous storms which occasionally move across the

Lakes and northern Atlantic coast.” If you

feet deep, with leather upholstered
sofa, etc.

Below decks the space aft of the
collision bulkhead, for a distance of
37 feet, and extending the full width
of the vessel, is taken up by the fore-

Immediately aft of this comes the
engine-room, 17 feet in length, and

decks and interior of Ruita are finished in

The sheer and fenderwale are outlined with

While the boat is not primarily built for
speed, still it makes 20 miles an hour with
its 45 h.p. Fay & Bowen motor. The engine
is forward and entirely enclosed. A Bosch-
Rushmore electric starter is attached to the
motor, and foot pedal cortrols are installed
so that the operator can start and run the
boat without taking his hands off the steer-
ing wheel.

CCORDING to the latest figures issued
A by the Commissioner of Navigation
at Washington, there was, at the time
of his report, a total of 7,500 motor boats on
Buzzards and Cape Cod Bays, including those
at Boston, Mass. While this latter port may
not be directly located on Capt Cod Bay, yet
their environments are so closely related as
to make them practically one as far as the
motor boatmen are con-
cerned.
No finer cruising water

cape, for with the opening of the Cape Cod
Canal, it became in reality an island. Now
Cape Cod and Buzzards Bay are only eight
miles apart for the deepest draft motor boats.
The centers of these bays are only 35 miles
distant from each other, whereas previously
it was necessary to navigate at least 110 miles
of America’s most treacherous waters to get
from one, body of water to the other.

Chart showing canal and Cape Cod Bay.

While the canal which cuts the cape may
be Of great importance to the 7,500 local mo-
tor boats, think of how much greater impor-
tance it is to the thousands of motor craft
whose home ports are at some of the other
seacoast or inland towns, both to the north
and to the south of Cape Cod, and which
annually cruise along this coast, but have
been limited in their cruising radius by not
caring to risk their boats

two bays, as they abound
in numerous harbors, and
the water is everywhere
deep enough for navigating
without fear of piling up
on some ledge or sand-bar.
Up to the present time
there has been just one
barrier which has prevented
these 7,500 motor boats

was none other than a nar-

if time and expense were
no object, there was not
a single safe harbor for
a hundred odd miles that
a motor boat could make
in- time of need, and so
is it a wonder that few
cared to cruise around
this exposed sand bar?

But now things are dif-
ferent, and the route from
Long Island Sound to the
upper New England coast,
instead of being short-
ened by something like
70 miles, has been made
safe. A minimum depth
of 25 feet, with a mini-

the canal, makes the in-
side route a_ possibility

year. Up to a short tithe ago she had cleaned
up in every inland race in which she was en-
tered, but her latest achievement in winning
the ocean race from Camden to Baltimore, a
distance of 368% nautical miles far outshines
her past record.

This race, handled jointly by the Camden
Motor Boat Club and the Maryland Motor
Boat Club of Baltimore is by far the most
important race ‘of the year, or, in fact, for the
past’ several years. That ten real cruisers
actually started in a test of this kind is a great
credit to’ the owners and shows that there is
still a keen interest in motor boat racing for
this type of boat,.if the right sort of course
is found and ‘the committees are awake to
their duties.

V-Bottom Model with Considerable Freeboard Fore and Aft and Lines Well Flared at the Bow.
Power Plant Installed Under Forward Deck and Instantly Accessible Through Removable Hatch.

HE accompanying illustrations show a
25-foot runabout of the V-bottom type,
designed by William Edgar John, of
Philadelphia. The plans show a boat with con-
siderable freeboard both forward and aft,
lines well flared forward and a pleasing
tumble home aft. The power plant is installed
forward under a well-crowned deck and is in-

stantly accessible through a light, removable
hatch. The engine is a four-cylinder, 534” x 6”
Sterling, equipped with an electric lighting and
starting plant. The helmsman’s seat is ar-
ranged aft the engine compartment, and an
automobile steering-wheel is conveniently lo-
cated with the engine controls mounted upon
it, so that the boat is under the helmsman’s

control at all times. The helmsman’s position
is elevated so as to give a clear view over the
bow.

A very comfortable transom seat is located
in the after end of the cockpit and the rest of
the space is left open for wicker chairs. A
30-gallon cylindrical tank is located forward.

This boat is handsomely finished, all the
bright work and decks being of mahogany.

The principal dimensions are: 25 feet over
all, 5 feet 6 inches beam, and 1 foot 10 inches
draft. A speed of 24 miles is guaranteed,

A type of craft designed for use in unprotected water which will seat ten comfortably.

built for Mr. Peter V. Giffin, of New
Rochelle, N. Y., by William E. Haff, also

of New Rochelle. She has a high and nicely
flared bow and her power plant being under
the forward deck and further protected by a
spray board, there seems little likelihood that
she will suffer any inconvenience when the

HE rudder shown in the accompanying
drawing is designed similar to the usual

also of oak, securely fastened to the bottom
edge to prevent warping. The size of the rud-
der and fittings will, of course, vary with the
size of the boat, depth of transom, etc., but
the assembled sketch will suggest the proper
proportions.

The braces are galvanized iron (or brass if
preferred) and bolt to the rudder as shown.
The upper brace, however, which shown
with the spur pointing upwards, should be
fastened with two loose fitting carriage bolts
and thumb or wing nuts, so that they can be
readily removed for attaching or detaching the
ruider. This arrangement
allows attaching the rudder

in case of emergency, without the use of tools
and at the same time securely prevents the
rudder unshipping.

can be purchased in any marine supply store.

with copper rivets burred over copper washers.
A %-inch strip of iron or brass is screwed all

large copper staples,

The rudder braces and hangers can be made

The proper locations of these holes depends
on the angle of the tiller and should be fitted
in place on the boat. By removing the second
bolt the tiller can be swung entirely around
to fit snug against the back of rudder as shown
by dotted lines in the drawing, thus making a
very compact arrangement for stowing away,
with no pieces to get lost or mislaid.

SEPTEMBER, IQI4.

A Folding Rudder.

HE term emergency implies the means

of recovery from an accident; in this

case loss of rudder. It also implies such
a substitute as will permit the boat to reach
port from any ordinary distance of motor
boat cruising. The emergency rudder, must
therefore, have characteristics which will cover
all these points.

A boat may run many miles using a bucket
in a rope sling or basket as a drag and 8 foot
oars—rather risky business as the bucket may
break loose. It must be in a true caging of
rope and be dropped first on one then on the
other side of the boat in accordance with
the course. Naturally, a true course cannot be
held with this method, but a harbor may be
reached with security.

A 16-foot oar with a rope lashing fastened
to it in a chock is a very good emergency
rudder. The sling may be thrown over the
stern bitt of the boat, but its merits are only
strength and ease of attachment. It does not
look well and cannot be stowed, but must be
kept lashed to the top of the cabin.

The following design for a folding rudder
will be found convenient. A slide rudder hang-
ing, or other type of hanging, must be fastened

to the transom. Such may be secured of any
ship chandler. The rudder in type must be an
out board visible rudder, with a tiller. The
length of the rudder must be from a suitable
point above the level of the too of the stern
bitt to the position of the former rudder
skeg. Let us assume that this distance is
§ feet and that 2%4 feet of the rudder are
under water. A rudder 20 to 24 inches wide
is none too large, and by being folded down
the middle may be made easy of stowing within
the ordinary locker, which is rarely less than
6 feet in length.

The quality of folding is provided by two
heavy strap-hinges securely screwed to the
rudder, which should be made of 2-inch oak
brought to a fairly sharp edge forward and aft
of the under water portion. On the opposite
side of the rudder, in the spaces between the
hinges, may be placed two straps of iron run-
ning from edge to edge of the rudder, counter-
sunk and provided with bolts, washers and
nuts. When the rudder is folded one of these
straps may be swung on one bolt and the
other strap on a different bolt so that they may
be brought into line with the folded-up rudder
and not project irregularly. The extra bolts,
nuts and washers may be tied to them.

The head of the rudder is provided with a

square galvanized iron stock drawn out into
two long strips well straddled down the stock
of the rudder and riveted through and through
the wood. The tiller may be made of two
pieces of galvanized gas-pipe, one sliding into
the other and kept from coming apart by
a cap and a reducer. The outside pipe may
be welded to a square rudder head. When
telescoped it will be about 3 feet 6 inches long,
and when extended, about 5 feet, thus giving
plenty of leverage for the large rudder. With
such an outfit a long cruise may be finished
until a drydock is reached, and the presence of
the outfit in the boat will cause very little
inconvenience.

The prevention of accidents to rudders is
important. No cruiser for family use should
be floated without a suitable skeg protecting
the rudder and if this skeg is made T-shaped
in cross section the greatest amount of strength
will be afforded by the same weight of metal.
If the skeg is a long one, a vertical strut
or brace should be placed in front of the rud-
der between the skeg and the horn timber.
And last but not least, without charts no
waters should be navigated known to be rocky.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of
cure.

Several Methods Suggested Which Avoid Any Danger of Annoyance From Draughts and Rain.

Simpleand Easily Installed.
(The Prize Winning Answer)

HE system of ventilation shown in the

accompanying drawings, will, if properly

installed, remove odors from the galley,

be waterproof, and prevent draught. More-

over, it is not difficult
to construct,

It depends for its
circulation of air
upon the center duct
with the ventilators at
each end, which ven-
tilators have each a
loose joint as shown,
that allows the for-
ward vent to be
turned to face the
wind, and the after
vent to be self-adjust-
ing by reason of a
fan attachment which
keeps it away from
the wind. This ar-
rangement provides a
current of air through
the main duct at all
times from windward
to leeward. This ad-
justment is necessary
only when at anchor,
as when under way
the vents may be set
as shown in the draw-
ing, fore and aft.

In order to provide
a positive circulation, the minor ducts must
run into the main duct at an obtuse angle,
have easy bends, and enter the main duct at
the side (preferably) or the bottom. In op-
eration, the main duct has at all times a cur-
rent of air passing through it from fore to
aft, which forms a suction through the minor
ducts, drawing the foul air up through the
hoods into it, and
thence out through the

ventilator. As the flow of air through the
main duct is continuous there should be placed
in each minor duct, a damper to control the
system.

While the main duct should be about level,
the minor ducts should have a pitch up as
shown in the drawings. The location of the

the hoods should be in about the relation
shown, but may be changed to suit the ar-
rangement of the galley, one hood, of course,
being over the range. As many hoods as nec-
essary may be used, but two as shown would
be right for a galley of usual size. By con-
tinuing the main duct other rooms may be
ventilated by the same
system and while the
main duct should be as
nearly straight as pos-
sible, yet it may have a
change in direction to
accommodate these
rooms.

The ducts and hoods

should be made of cop-
per, but if desired, tin
painted on both sides
may be used. The
ducts must be round in

any water from entering the ducts and will
make the system rainproof. As the ducts
are more or less flexible, they should be held
in place by copper or tin strap hangers fast-
ened to the carlins or deck.

In case it is not desirable to use two venti-

An Electric Fan Venti-
lator.

S it is only at certain times that the
odors of cooking are very annoying,
an electric fan ventilator can well be

used without calling too often or too hard on
the storage battery, especially since the ordi-
nary method of ventilation can be used at other
times.

My plan is to fasten a cast iron cone ventil-
ator over a hole in the deck over the galley.
Under this, or on the ceiling of the galley a
circular cylinder is suspended. This cylinder
is to be of galvanized iron, large enough to
contain a small fan motor with a 5-in. fan, the
fan lying horizontal and with the fan upper-
most. Do not forget this as otherwise the fan
will draw air down into the galley instead of
out of it. The base of the cylinder should be
made of a fantail ventilator like the one
shown in the lower part of the door in the
diagram. It should be adjustable by a handle
so that it may be closed entirely if necessary.
The switch for the motor should be brought
down to within easy reach of the person cook-
ing. A fantail ventilator, or one of the sliding
type, should be put in the Jower part of the
door leading from cabin to galley.

Now, under ordinary conditions it will suf-
fice to open the fantail ventilator in the ceiling
and the one in the door. The warm air and
cooking odors from the stove will naturally
rise and pass out. Meanwhile pure air, but
not cold air, will come in from the cabin. Or
if the ventilator in the door be closed, it will
keep in and eliminate drafts. By putting a tin
deflector over the door ventilator the air will
be directed to the floor and cause less of a
draft. Rain cannot get in through the cone
ventilator, as the question
requires.

enough (when the air is on) to quickly re-
move all odors, and a hood (described below)
over the stove will collect the odors. A hood
ventilator attached to the pipe on deck will
prevent the entrance of rain or spray. It can
always be turned away so that the wind
helps create a suction. If no air should be
available an extra length of pipe may be used
on deck.

There is no chance for drafts with this
outfit and the ventilator can be removed and
the cap put on when not in use.

A tinsmith will make the outfit for you at
slight cost or you can make it yourself. The
construction is simple. The hood

E. W. MarsHa.t, N. Y. C.

No Complicated Fittings.

HE system as hereinafter described may

be used on practically any boat, the di-

mensions varying according to the size of
the galley, but it may be taken as a standard
that a galley measuring 5’ 5” x 6'x 6’ 3” head-
room would require a forward ventilator of
15” diameter with a 5” duct, and after venti-
lator about 15” across.

The intake faces the bow of the boat so that
it will have an air pressure to force the fresh
air through the room. It is made from fur-
nace hot-air pipe because this is rectangular
and will fit into the wall, thus taking up no
space. At the top it is connected to the ven-
tilator by a union that the furnace man will
supply. . The pipe extends to about two and
one-half feet from the floor and should have
the bottom pitch outward to give the fresh air
a downward motion so that the galley may be
cleansed from the floor up.

The outlet is simply a large ventilator of
uniform cross-section set in the roof. It faces
the stern to avoid air pressure. To give the
best results, the outlet should have a cross-
section area at least one-third larger than the
flare of the intake.

The intake is placed in the corner and low
in the room opposite the outlet so that the
entire galley may be cleared. of odors. The
outlet is placed immediately over the stove be-
cause, by that arrangement, the odors from
out getting into the room. These ventilators
are shaped to keep out any but a driving rain.

accompanying illustration, this motor, manu-
factured by the Roberts Motor Company, of

No radical changes have been made in this

two-cycle motor
during the past
season and it is
stated that none

will be made for the coming year, inasmuch as
the engine has offered no suggestion for im-
provements other than a recent increase in the
size of the bypass plates which makes for more
free operation and increased power. One of

the most interesting features of Roberts mo-

tors is the construction of the bypass on which

he manufacturers base their claim that they
are “The motors that never backfire.” This
bypass consists of a series of alternate flat and

t
t

corrugated plates about three inches long,
which entirely fill the passage from the base to
the cylinder and divide the transfer port into
a large number of small passages or cells.
These cells have such a large surface com-
pared to the area of the passage through them
that, it is claimed, should a flame start down-
ward through them it is cooled and extin-
guished. It is also stated that these cells do
the motor in any

not decrease the power ot
degree, but, on the contrary, by vaporizing the
mixture thoroughly render it more readily
ignitable, and so save gasoline.

By the use of alloy weighing as little as
aluminum, and having a greater tensile strength,
the manufacturers have been able to keep the
weight reasonable, at the same time pushing
the horsepower up, and along the same line of
endeavor they have used a hollow crankshaft

Cooling of the motor is designed with espe-
cial reference to high-speed work, the pump
being of large capacity and the stream of
water being forced through the base and up
around the exhaust ports, cooling them effect-
ively and then passing around the cylinders
and through the outlet,

The Harris Valveless Engine.

A Diesel-Principle Motor of the Two-Cycle Type Having Only One Cylinder-Head Opening.
Starting Effected Without the Necessity of Injecting Air Into the Working Cylinders.

HE Harris Patents Company, of New

York, and 328 Chestnut Street, Philadel-

phia, are offering the Harris Valveless en-
gine of the Diesel type in various sizes for ma-
rine use. They are made in two, four, six and
eight cylinders in three models, the lightest
“two” developing 120 h.p. and the heaviest
“eight” 1,600 h.p. Starting with the Diesel
principle as a foundation, the Harris engine
was designed with the object of producing a
power plant free from complicated mechanism,
and embodying the most desirable features of
the best marine steam engine practice. The
most novel departure in this engine from the
original Diesel type lies in the step pistons, or
enlarged extensions of the main pistons work-
ing in their own cylinders beneath the working
cylinders. The step piston acts as the scaven-
ging pump or low-pressure compressor, forc-
ing out the exhaust gases and filling the work-
ing cylinder with pure air, and also in starting
and reversing plays a prominent part as fol-
lows: Each scavenging cylinder on the move-
ment of the starting lever either ahead or
astern becomes immediately converted into an
air motor by the automatic cutting out of the
suction and delivery valves, the air starting
valves coming automatically into play with the
camshaft and keeping the engine running,
owing to the compressed air from the storage
tanks acting on the step pistons instead of the
main pistons. Further movement of the hand-
ling lever opens the atomizers in the cylinder
heads, and the fuel is supplied to the working
cylinders, at which time they take up their reg-
ular cycle and the step pistons cease to act as
a starting motor, but commence operating as

low-pressure scavenging pumps.
he chief advantage claimed for this step
piston is that by its use the necessity of send-
ing compressed air at freezing temperature
into the working cylinders for the purposes of
starting and reversing is obviated, thereby
eliminating any danger of cracking the heated
cylinders by the sudden change of temperature.
fhe Harris engine being of the two-cycle
type, there are no valves in the cylinder heads,
and, owing to the use of the step piston for
starting purposes, it is not even necessary to
have air starting valves in the
heads, the only opening in the
heads being a small port for the
admission of oil {
from the atomizer.
One of the chief
advantages claimed
for this type of
motor is that it
may be started
without the neces-
sity of employing a
clutch or other medium
separating the engine
from its load. In
starting or revers-
ing the Harris mo-
tor, the action is
similar to starting
up a steam
engine with
an air pres-

sure of 240 h.p. Harris Valveless engine of the marine type, showing the fronts

3c0 pounds. This air, when aliowed to act on
the step pistons, will turn the engine over so
long as the tanks have a sufficient supply of
air, and after the momentum is built up the oil
can be given to the main cylinders, the air still
being allowed to act on the step pistons. Thus,
it is claimed, there is an abundance of power
even before the engine has warmed up, thereby
permitting it to start under full load.

The makers recommend these engines for
boats making frequent stops, as, it is said, they
operate from stone cold to full power 10 sec-
onds after starting.

Lathrop Four-Cycle Engines.

Made in Two, Three and Four Cylinders and Having Bore and Stroke of 5’ inches by 8 inches.
Camshafts Run by Silent Chains Located Within the Crankcase to Insure Quiet Operation.

HE new Lathrop four-cycle engine of

modern and sturdy construction, has a

bore of 5" in. and a stroke of 8 in., and
develops its rated power at 350 to 400 r.p.m.
The design has been carefully worked out to
insure for this engine accessibility to all parts,
a gas and oil-tight enclosed base, with cam-
shafts and silent chain drives located within.
The object of the manufacturers, the J. W.
Lathrop Company, of Mystic, Conn., has been
to secure an engine that will be quiet in oper-
ation, and possess reliability and long-wearing
qualities under continuous service, with the
best fuel economy.

The cylinders are cast separately with T-head,
and there are two plates on the water-jacket
for cleaning out sediment and for draining
purposes. Cylinders are bored on special ma-
chines, and ground to exact size. There are
large water-jackets and extra large
water spaces all around the valves.

lhe cylinder heads are cast sepa-
rately for each cylinder and are eas-
ily removed. The makers consider
it very desirable to have a remov-
able cylinder head on each cylinder
in order to inspect the cylinder and
valves, and also to remove any car-
bon formed. The pistons, which
are of extra length, are made of
gray iron and are _ bronze-bushed
for the wrist pin. The rings are of
lap-joint construction, very accu-
rately machined.

The crankcase is constructed of
two separate castings, split on the center line
of the crankshaft. The upper half has large
separate hand-hole plates on both sides,

through which inspection and adjustment may
be easily and quickly made. The two cam-
shafts, complete with their bearings, are easily
removable through large hub holes on the rear
of the upper half of the crankcase.

The camshafts are made of high-grade steel,
and are driven by large silent chains operating
in a spray of oil. Each shaft is fitted with a
spider, to which a large sprocket is bolted, thus

gine-room. The valves are of extra large diam-
eter and short lift in 45-degree angle seats.
The connecting rods are fitted with remov-
able bronze bushings spot-babbitted on the
crank-pin end, and clamped to the wrist-pin
on the head end. They have extra long center
distance and large bearing surfaces. The
crankshaft, made of 50-point carbon steel,
heat-treated, is ground to exact size and prop-

erly balanced. The crank- shaft is
23g in. in diameter, and all the bear-
ings are extra long. All re- ciprocating
parts are accurately weighed for each
cylinder, and are balanced against
weights for similar parts of the other
cylinder. Thero- fF tating

Substantially Constructed and Adapted for Use in Runabouts and Express Cruisers.

HE Fulton Manufacturing Company, of

Erie, Pa., state that they are having great

success with their line of 4-cycle, high-
speed engines which were placed on the mar-
ket the first of the year.

These engines, which have a great many dis-
tinctive features, are built in a very complete
range of sizes, from
the 4-cylinder, 4” x 5”,
rated at 20-28
hp. to the
6-cylinder
54"x7" rated ee een
at 80-100 h.p. ~

On all of :
these _ sizes,
with the ex-
ception of the

One of the new line of four-cycle Fulton engines. All moving
parts, including the valve lifters, are inclosed.

20-28 h.p., the cylinders are cast in pairs of the
T-head type. All moving parts are inclosed—
even the valve lifters—making a very clean
and quiet-running engine. Another feature is
that the entire reverse gear and thrust bear-
ings are inclosed in a substantial aluminum
case, thereby eliminating any oil-throwing.
The oiling system is
of the force speed type
which supplies a stream
of oil to all bear-
ings, the oil then

draining into the crankcase where it is filtered
and pumped back to the supply tank and used
over again. It is a positive system designed to
insure perfect lubrication under all conditions.

The connecting rods are drop-forged from
steel and have bronze bushings in the wrist-
pin end and die-cast interchangeable bearings
in the crank-pin end. The crankshaft is of a
one-piece drop-forging of high carbon steel,
is of large dimensions ground to exact size,
and is flanged for the fly-wheel. There is a
main bearing between each pair of cylinders,
and all bearings are die-cast of the best white
bearing metal and are interchangeable. The
crankcase is of aluminum and is cast with ex-
tended base for mounting the reverse gear as
a unit. Ball thrust bearings of the highest
grade are used, and the reverse gear employed
is the Joe’s duplex drive. For circulating the
cooling water a rotary geared pump, all of
bronze, is used. The ignition system as regu-
larly furnished, consists of the Bosch high-
tension magneto with Connecticut high-tension
distributor. Regular equipment includes steel
shaft up to 1o feet in length, bronze propeller,
stuffing box, muffler, wiring, extension base,
reverse gear, thrust bearings, etc

These engines are especially adapted for use
in runabouts, speed ‘boats and express cruisers.
They are very substantially built throughout
and are intended to stand up under the hard-
est service. The materials entering into their
construction are regarded as the best that can
be procured. The workmanship is of the
highest grade and each motor is tested under
full load for several hours before shipping
to insure its being perfect before leaving the
factory.

the two magnetos in each series fire 16 sparks
in each revolution of their distributors, four

Motor Won't Run.

To the Editor of MoToR BoatinG, Sir:

I have a 19-footer, equipped with a 6 to 8 h.p. mo-
tor, two cylinders. I have put on an 18-inch wheel,
20 inches pitch, three blades. I tried to start the en-
gine; she would go for about one hundred yards and
then stop. She will always knock. I disconnected the
engine from the propeller and had her running loose.
She would go so fast that I could not even run her
full speed, Racing some breakage would occur. She
would run fine, without even misfiring, and she
wouldn’t knock with the engine running loose, no mat-
ter how far I advanced the spark. But when
1 connect it with the propeller she would run
so slowly and knock that she stops after about
one hundred revolutions.
Sometimes she only gives
four or five revolutions
very slowly, knocks and
then stops. Thinking it
might be the propeller, I
took her off and placed a
15-inch, ar mip 22-inch
pitch, and she does the
same thing. ‘

I tried to adjust the
vibrator to get a louder
buzz. When I touch the
vibrator of the first cyl-
inder I don’t feel any
shock, but when I try to
adjust the second, she
gives me a shock. Will
you please tell me why
the engine knocks and
runs slowly with the pro-
peller and why she runs
smooth and fast without
the propeller, also why
get shocked on the sec-
ond vibrator and not on
the first? I have tried
all kinds of gas and air s
mixture, but without success. Do you think
those two propellers I tried are too big for that
engine? They are both three-bladed .

The boat is 19 feet long, 4% feet beam. It is a
V-bottom boat. The engine is a two-cylinder, jump-
spark, 6 to 8 h.p, ;

S. A., New York City.

[We do not believe that it is due to the size
of the propeller in the least. Other causes
which it may be attributed to could be: Poor
compression, wrong mixture, leaking ignition,
poor base compression or mis-alignment be-
tween the engine and propeller shaft. Any of
the first four defects would allow the motor
to run idle without much loss of power, but
when you attempt to run it slow under power,
these errors become very much magnified, and
if bad ones are sufficient to cause the motor
to stop after a few revolutions. If the engine
is not lined up correctly this will also cause
trouble, as you probably know. It may be that
the size of the shaft hole is too small, and
after the boat has been in the water for some
time, the wood has swelled around the shaft,
causing it to bind in some places. You can
detect this by turning the propeller shaft over
by hand. This should turn very easily indeed—

almost without effort. If this does turn eas-
ily, and considerable effort is required to
turn it over after the shaft and motor are

Speed Laws Governing
Motor Boats.

To the Editor of MoToR BoatinG, Sir: ,

Can you give me some information concerning laws
on water relative to speed limits? There is a number
of motor boats on the Lehigh River, Pa. On entering
the city of Allentown’s limits, we are forced to run
very slowly owing to complaints of canocists because
of the swell caused by motor boats, Also parties that
have their boats tied up to the shore complain about
their boats being rocked by the waves from the motor
boats.

What are the laws about lights on motor
boats, rowboats and canoes? A number of us
motor boating fellows, all subscribers to your
paper, would like you to
give us some dope on
this. Can the city offi-
cials arrest us for run-
ning fast, say, about 15
miles per hour? The
river is about 300 yards
wide at the city limits.

[We would say that
neither the Govern-
ment Rules of the
Road, .nor, so far as
we can find out, the
State laws of Penn-
sylvania set any re-
striction on the rate at
which a motor boat
may travel: We be-
lieve, however, that in
narrow waterways
passing through cities,

the city authorities, for the protection of
boats lying along wharves have the authdrity
to enact local laws as they see fit. In New
York State and we presume in Pennsylvania,
any person whose boat lying at a wharf re-
ceives damage from the swell of a passing ves-
sel may institute suit in the civil courts against
the owner of that vessel and collect the amount
of the damage. As an instance, you will re-
member the newspaper reports that the Ham-
burg-American Line had to pay damages to
the tune of about $20,000 when the suck of the
Vaterland’s propellers sank a coal barge and
tore other vessels loose from their moorings.

Aside from these considerations, however,
we think that as a matter of common courtesy
every motor boat owner should slow down
when passing small boats or through an an-
chorage. If the conditions are ever reversed
and you find yourself at anchor cooking up a
little grub when an alleged twenty-miler goes
by and tosses you around a little, you'll have
to admit that the bilge is a poor place to serve
the beans from.

100,000 Sparks Per Minute!

The Intricate Ignition System of the Twenty-Four Cylinder Power Plant in the B. I. T. Challenger.
Twelve Two-Spark Magnetos, Six of Them the Duplex Type, Serving in All Ninety-Six Spark Plugs.

NE of the most complicated and intri-
cate sets of wiring ever attempted was
installed in Commodore Pugh’s Dis-

turber IV, challenger this year for the B. I. T..,
just before she was shipped to England. The
big racer is equipped with two Deusenberg
engines of 12 cylinders each, and as each en-
gine is fitted with six two-spark Bosch .
magnetos more than 100 separate wires
are required in the ignition system. As
originally arranged the wiring presented
an almost hopeless angle,
so three service men from
the Bosch Company were
set to work to gather
up the wires and

make the most
presentable
job which

could be done in the
short time at their dis-
posal. The accompanying

rewiring of the star-
board engine completed
and the port engine in
its original condition.
lo gain an idea of the
intricacy of this ignition
system it must be con-
sidered that there are

spark magnetos. Of these six Bosch mag-
netos, three are independent sets, while three
are duplex (batteries assisting the magneto
when starting). Each cylinder has four spark
plugs, two plugs in each valve cap receiving
their sparks from different magnetos. Thus,
the two magnetos in each series fire 16 sparks
in each revolution of their distributors, four
sparks being fired in each cylinder at the
proper time. The two end valve caps and the

Motor Won't Run.

To the Editor of MoToR BoatinG, Sir:

I have a 19-footer, equipped with a 6 to 8 h.p. mo-
tor, two cylinders. I have put on an 18-inch wheel,
20 inches pitch, three blades. I tried to start the en-
gine; she would go for about one hundred yards and
then stop. She will always knock. I disconnected the
engine from the propeller and had her running loose.
She would go so fast that I could not even run her
full speed, fearing some breakage would occur. She
would run fine, without even misfiring, and she
wouldn’t knock with the engine running loose, no mat-
ter how far I advanced the spark. But when
1 connect it with the propeller she would run
so slowly and knock that she stops after about
one hundred revolutions.
Sometimes she only gives
four or five revolutions
very slowly, knocks and
then stops. Thinking it
might be the propeller, I
took her off and placed a
15-inch, ta aap 22-inch
pitch, and she does the
same thing.

I tried to adjust the
vibrator to get a louder
buzz. When I touch the
vibrator of the first cyl-
inder I don’t feel any
shock, but when I try to
adjust the second, she
gives me a shock. Will
you please tell me why
the engine knocks and
runs slowly with the pro-
peller and why she runs
smooth and fast without
the propeller, also why
get shocked on the sec-
ond vibrator and not on
the first? I have tried
all kinds of gas and air :
mixture, but without success. Do you think
those two propellers I tried are too big for that
engine? They are both three-bladed. ;

ily, and corsiderable effort is required to

As to the laws regulating the use of lights,

Motor boating in India. Crossing the Ganges River on a one-elephant power ferry.

we would refer you to the pilot rules, two
copies of which the law requires every motor
boat to carry, page 24 of the June issue of
MoToR BoatinG into which this matter was
gone very fully, or a two-page illustrated ar-
ticle which appeared in the August issue of
this magazine. We may say, however, in brief,
that all motor boats under 26 feet in length
(Class 1) are obliged to carry when under
way a white light aft to be visible all around
the horizon, and a combination light showing
green to starboard visible from dead head
to two points abaft the beam, and a red light
to port also visible from dead ahead to two
points abaft the beam. Motor boats from
26 to 40 feet (Class 2) in length carry a
white bow light visible from dead ahead to
two points abaft the beam on each side, a green
light on the starboard side visible from dead
ahead to points abaft the beam on that side, a
red light to port similarly arranged (these two
lights to be suitably screened so that they may
not be seen across the bow and a white light
aft, placed higher than the bow light and
visible all-around the horizon. Motor boats
from 40 to 65 feet (Class 3) carry the same
light except that the law provides that they
shall be of larger size.

Article 7 of the “Rules of the Road—Inland”
requires that “Rowing boats whether under
oars or sail shall have ready at hand a lantern
showing a white light which shail be tempo-
rarily exhibited in sufficient time to prevent
collision.” This regulation may also be ap-
plied to canoes.

In conclusion, we would say that if we were
in your place we would find out from the city
authorities whether they have any ordinances
regulating the speed of motor boats before
we had any run-in with the local police. |

A Double-Opposed Motor.

To the Editor of MoToR BoatinG, Sir

As a constant reader of your magazine, I would be
greatly obliged if you could give me any information
which would be of assistance to me in installing an
engine in my boat. 5

I have a motor boat of the V-bottom type, 21 ft
long by 4 ft. 6 in. wide The motor which I intend
installing is of the two-cylinder, four-cycle, double-
opposed, horizontal type As far as I can ascertain,
the cylinder dimensions are: 4 in. bore by 4% in
stroke It is, of course, water 2 and the weight
without fly-wheel, is about 150 pounds. There does
not appear to he any manufacturer’ $ name on the en-
gine; I should rudge it to be about three or four years
old, although in good condition

The man from whom I purchased this engine ob-
tained it in a bailiffs’ sale, and knows nothing about
it, although he stated that he was informed it would
develop 12 h.p. To me, this seems a little too much
to expect, and I would be glad to have your advice in
this connection

Could you also inform me of the proper size wheel
to use? The boat is lightly built and was intended
for speeding purposes, although soundly constructed

The engine used in this boat last year was a three
cylinder of 21 h.p., and I find it necessary to raise
the base slightly to accommodate the new engine I
am, therefore, installing a flexible coupling. I under-
stand that this should be placed between the reverse
gear and the propeller shaft, with a bearing between
the gear and flexible coupling Is this correct?

J. G. C., Toronto, Canada.

{Your motor should develop alfout 10 h.p.
at 9oo r.p.m. and about 12 h.p. at 1,100 r.p.m.
Just what speed the motor is designed to run
at, we cannot of course say, as this depends
entirely upon the design of the particular
motor, size of the moving parts, area of the
valves, etc.

The proper wheel for a 10 h.p. motor at
900 r.p.m. in a 21-foot V-bottom boat would
be one having three blades 14 inches in diam-
eter, by 18 inches pitch. This should give you
a speed of about 12 miles per hour.

We believe the use of a flexible coupling as
you propose is entirely feasible, but we do not
believe it necessary to use a bearing between
the gear and coupling, provided the angle is
not excessive. }

An Interesting Model.

To the Editor of MoToR BoatinG, Sir:

Am sending you a view of a little model I
made, which is fully equipped. The hull is
made of mahogany % of an inch, and the
deck is made of the same material, the brass
railing is 3/16 of an inch, it is 4 feet 6 inches
long, 12 inches wide. I made every piece of
the brass fixtures, taking me three months to
complete. The boat runs with a small electric
dynamo. I have it displayed in the window
which attracts everyone who sees it. To really
appreciate this model you would have to see
the original, but I think the picture will give
you a fair idea of what it is like. The deck is
made of one strip of mahogany and one of
ash; the hood is 1 made of the same
material. F. L. T., Donaldsonville, La.

This method absolutely stopped all leaks

It would be rather expensive to cover thx
whole bottom of the hull in this way, as cop

Troublei in n Starting Motors

To the Editor of ‘ToR BoatinG, Sir

I have a 5 h p eaied which gives me a little tr
le in starting it [ put oil in the gasoline, im the
cups and sometimes in the base. Do you think the
causes that Once I get her started she keeps
without misfiring Will you please tell me the be-

way to avoid this, and if I should use oil cups inclu
ing the oil in the gasoline?
P. F., New York City.
{| While we believe that having oil in the gas-
oline does make the motor somewhat harder
to start, than when no oil is used at all, yet all
the trouble you are experiencing can hardly be
attributed to this cause. Trouble similar to
this seems to be chronic with some motors,
and its cause can be traced to nothing else
than the design of the motor itself. However,
we believe that if you will put a little lubri-

wheel for your 21-ft. boat with a 5% h.p
motor, turning at 750 r.p.m. would be one
having two blades 14 inches in diameter, by
15 inches pitch.

In regard to stopping a crack . the base of
a 2-cycle motor, while this may be done with
Solderall with more or less degree of satis-
faction, yet we believe Smooth-on Cement will
give you a much better job. The cement
should be jammed into the crack tightly and
it as well as the surrounding metal should be
heated with plumbers’ torch for a quarter or
a half an hour to insure the setting of the
cement. This latter becomes practically in-
tegral with the cast iron and can withstand
considerable pressure. A cement may also be
made up composed of three parts of iron
filings to one of salammoniac, made up into a
paste with salt water. The filings should be
made with a fine file from grey cast iron. Two
or three days will be required for this to set,
after which it will stand any amount of pres-
sure which it will be normally subjected to in
the base of an engine. Still another method of
correcting this would be to take the motor out
of the boat to some shop equipped with a
welding outfit, but you no doubt have con-
sidered this method and discarded it as
impracticable. |

Caulking Suggestions.

To the Editor of MoToR BoatinG, Sir:

In the July number of MoToR BoatinG,
A. P., New York, asks how to stop leaks in a
hull which caulking failed to remedy.

I would like to offer for comment, a plan
which I followed to stop the leaks in the first
six feet of my 25-foot by 4-foot displacement
hull, planked with 3 inch cedar.

I first put butt straps along the seams in-
side, then caulked her thoroughly and applied
a couple of coats of red lead. I then cemented
a piece of heavy cotton to the hull with a
viscous mixture of hot pine pitch and boiled
oil. Over this I nailed a sheet of 10-ounce
soft copper sheeting, working the pliable cop-
per to the lines of the boat by rubbing with a

cating oil through the petcocks and turn the
tly-wheel over a few times before priming the
motor, you will find that she starts more
readily than when simply priming with gaso-
line alone.

It may be that grease cups on the bearings
would help somewhat, but probably not to very
great extent. The advantage of these is that
they can be screwed down before starting,
which will give you better compression in the
base of your motor, while it is being turned
over by hand. The drawing in of a slight
amount of air into the cylinder through the
petcocks when you are turning the fly-wheel
over slowly by hand may be necessary to get
the right mixture for starting.)

Bosch Products.

With the completion of the recent Bosch-
Rushmore merger, the Bosch Magneto Com-
pany of New York has added to its already
complete line of self-starters, a line of fly-
wheel crankers well known to the marine
trade. In the Bosch-Rushmore starters, made
in 6- and 12-volt styles, the driving pinion
does not engage with the flywheel except while
it is being used for cranking. This is ac-
complished by means of a compression spring
in the commutator end of the shaft which
holds the armature out of line with the pole
pieces, until by the closing of the switch, the
armature is drawn in by magnetic attraction,
bringing the pinion into mesh with the fly-
wheel gear. When the gasoline engine takes
up its cycle the motor is relieved of its load,
the current dropping close to zero and allow-
ing the compression spring to force the
pinion out of mesh. One of the many in-
enious features of the Bosch starting and
ighting outfit is the carbon particle dynamo
regulator which is shown with the cover re-
moved in the accompanying picture. This regu-
lator prevents the generation of higher vol-
tages than are required by introducing re-
sistance into the field circuit. This is accom-
plished by having a small cylindrical compart-
ment filled with carbon particles against
which the end plates of the compartment
press at normal voltage. As the voltage is
increased a small solenoid lifts a diaphragm
at the top of the pack, thus removing some of
the pressure from the carbon particles, and
increasing the resistance in the field circuit.
This automatically regulates the voltage gene-
rated by the dynamo regardless of the speed of
the engine.

The Seah a
Carbureter.

The Senrab kerosene carbureter, manufac-
tured by the Senrab Carbureter Co., Inc., Sea
Cliff, L. L., is so arranged that the adjustment
of a single moving part effects in proper ratio
the fuel supply, the main air supply and the
auxiliary supply, so that under different de-
grees of running, the user may depend upon
the admission into the eo of a correctly
proportioned mixture of fuel and air without
separately adjusting the several supplies. Ad-
vantage has been taken of the Venturi tube as
a main air supply owing to the increased ve-
locity through a passage having a constricted
throat, and because the tube lends itself to a
convenient regulation of air by means of ‘a
moving central member placed in axial rela-
tion to it. A control method for this carbureter
has been provided, whereby by the proper
setting of a lever, the carbureter may be
placed in the most convenient location on any
engine. Provision has been made for start-
ing on gasoline, and by means of the ex-
haust heated chamber and the special features
of the instrument, it is claimed that it will
operate as efficiently and economically on
kerosene as any other carbureter will on gaso-

line.

exhaust gases is destroyed by a whirling
collision in the patent shock head, and that
the gases are then completely silenced by the
undulating expansions through the vanes. As
the openings through this silencer are more
than ten per cent. greater than the area of the
exhaust pipe, it is pointed out that there is
not only no chance for back pressure, but
that there is actually a slight vacuum main-
tained in the head when the motor is up to
speed. For marine use the silencer is set in
a horizontal position, and the slight amount
of cooling water which is admitted to it drains
through an opening in the shock head. The
Kenney is built of pure copper with the heads
of anti-corrosive-treated gray iron, and the
single bolt used to support the vanes is of
Tobin bronze. This muffler is made in sizes
adapted to any motor.

A New Trouble Lamp.

Mabey’s Electric & Manufacturing VCo., of
940 N. Pennsylvania St., Indianapolis, Ind., are
making a combination trouble lamp and spot
light, a feature of which is an arrangement
whereby a protecting sleeve slips over the bulb,
and in addition to saving it from breakage, acts
as a reflector, ensuring a brilliant spot light. It
is finished in nickel with a hard wood handle
and is supplied with an Ediswan receptacle and
attachment plug and 10 feet of cord.

Ideal Valve Seating and
Facing Tools.

The American Developing and Sales Co.,
of Stamford, Conn., are manufacturing two
tools to be used for refacing valve seats and
valves. The former is furnished with four
different size pilot stems to fit the different
size valve leads and make the valve seat come
positively true with the valve stems. The tool
is made in two sizes to accommodate valves
from the smallest up to 3 inches. The cost is
$8. The other tool—the valve grinder—is used
to true up valves before grinding, and it is said
that a much cleaner job may be made with this
instrument than can be done with a lathe. The
tool is adjustable to any diameter of valve.
The cost is $7.

Exide X Storage Battery.

A new storage battery, known as the model
X, has recently been put on the market by the
Electric Storage Battery Co., of Philadelphia,
Pa., whose line of Exide batteries is already
well known. The chief advantage claimed for
the Model X is its development of unusually
great current per unit of weight and volume,
making it particularly valuable for withstand-
ing the severe drains exacted in starting and
lighting. Each cell of the several which make
up the complete battery is a separate sealed
unit, permitting of easy removal and replace-
ment. The gas vent and filling aperture is so
arranged as to limit the amount of water to
the quantity needed to replace the liquid lost
by evaporation. The terminal posts are of
hard bronze with lead protective coating and
lead-encased nuts and washers, and the plates
are of the standard Exide type.

The End-Oxy clamp for use in working in
piston rings.

The End-Oxy Piston
Ring Clamp.

The End-Oxy Appliance Co., of Trenton,

Mechanical details of “Climax” oiler.

N. J., are making a device designed to facili- [DI=

tate the accurate replacement of cylinders in
regard to the correct centering of the pistons,
by obviating the usual trouble found in getting
the rings to slide into the cylinders. This de-
vice consists of a ring clamp which is con-
structed of a closely woven, flexible, webbed
strap with a flat locking buckle, to which is
fastened a shim brass lining securely at one
end, with the other end free to slide in ap-
plying the same to the piston. The lining is
sufficiently thin to enter the chamber of cylin-
der castings, and to enter the ring in the
cylinders, yet it is too thick to enter or wedge
itself between the piston and the cylinder

wall. As the heaviest portion of the clamp,

the buckle itself, is but 34-inch in thickness,
it is claimed that the clamp can be used on
the closest type of engine construction, and
yet free out perfectly for removal or reappli-
cation, Only two clamps are required, as but
two pistons travel in a plane in either the four
or six type of engine construction. The
clamps have a range of from 3% to 6 inches
piston diameter, and cost $1 per pair, com-
plete.

The Oxylene Decarbon-

izer.

This apparatus consists of three parts, to-
gether with the necessary valves and copper
and rubber tubing. The short upper cylinder
is the purifier, from which the oxygen emerges
in a pure, dry state. The section beneath is
the cartridge, and beneath that is the heating
unit, consisting of a furnace and its protect-
ing wall. By this system the owner need only
purchase new cartridges for replacement. The
purifier, heater and small appliances are kept
for permanent use. The cartridges are shipped
ready prepared with the chemicals from which
the oxygen is produced, and this begins to
form when the heater has been lighted
for a moment. From the cartridge the oxy-
gen passes to the purifier, from which it emer-
ges ready for use. The operation of com-
pletely removing carbon from the cylinders
is said to occupy a few minutes only. The
cost of the outfit, with one cartridge, is $10;
extra cartridges cost $1.50 each. The manu-
facturers are The Oxygen Decarbonizer

The Climax Oiler.

The Climax oiler, manufactured by the
Climax Brass & Manufacturing Co., 1250 W.
15th St., Chicago, Ill, is described as being
simple in construction and having conse-
quently great strength. The object of the
company has been to produce an oiler which
combines simplicity with efficiency, and to do
this they have as one of the features a single
eccentric which admits the oil to all the vari-
ous ducts. The entire mechanism (shown in
the accompanying cut) is immersed in a bath
of oil, and as the movement of the woiking
parts is slow, there is very little wear in the
oiler. The lift of the as plunger is
merely a fraction of an inch, so that any sedi-
ment that might settle from the oil is left un-
disturbed in the bottom of the tank. Absolute
accuracy in measiuing the supply of oil to be
let into the various pipes is a- feature claimed
for this oiler which is made in several sizes.

Peerless Piston Ring.

The Peerless Piston Ring Company, of 99
Lafayette Street, Newark, N. J., are marketing
a B nny ring which is designed to prevent
leakage of compression and lubricating oil past
the slots. It consists of a regular outer eccen-
tric ring with which is combined an inner ec-
centric ring which has a flange fitting the cyl-
inder bore. It is claimed that the pressure of
the outer ring serves to equalize the pressure
against the cylinder walls. If desired, one

per piston may be used in combination

A New Searchlight.

The Sprague-Brace Manufacturi Com-
pany, of 60 Jefferson Aventa, Whe De-

new motor boat searchlight which sells at
a reasonable figure. The light is ly

made of polished brass and measures 12 inches

by 4% inches. It is designed to te on dry
cells or storage battery, and while economical
in current consumption, it is claimed that it will
throw a powerful light a distance of 200 feet.

It is arranged so that it may be quickly turned

in any direction, sideways or up and down.

Meter Valve Carbureter.

oy the claims made for their new prod-
uct by the Meter Valve Carbureter q
of Beckel Building, Dayton, Ohio, are®:
positive method of metering or. m«

air and fuel to suit the load or speed.of the
motor by means of an auxiliary air valve
which surrounds the Venturi tube. In-order
to eliminate the possibility. of cross currents
of varying temperature and consequent con-
densation, all the air taken in passes through
one intake. All springs have been done away
with, a flange on the bottom of the valve,
which forms a pocket or air cushion, taking
their place.

The Lundin Lifeboat.

What promised to be one of the most
interesting trips ever undertaken has
recently been cut short, due to the un-
safe conditions of the Atlantic arising
from the general European conflict. On
July 30th the Lundin motor lifeboat,
commanded by Mr. Signe Sivard, super-
intendent of the Welin Marine Equipment Co.,
and Mrs. Sivard, and accompanied by a crew
of four men, set sail from the Battery for Eng-
land. A steamer convoyed her to Sea Gate, and
every passing vessel saluted the brave little
craft—only 36 feet in length—which was
expected to demonstrate the suitability of this type of
eraft for lifeboat service on the ocean liners. The boat
which is the conception of Capt. A. P. Lundin, president
of the Weiin Marine Equipment Co., of Long Island
City, the builders, is constructed of galvanized sheet
steel, and in the course .of the trip down the bay,
Captain Sivard purposely
eollided with his convoy in
order to test the strength
of his craft. Although the
tifeboat is protected with
balsa wood fenders to take
the edge off any knock
which she might receive in
lowering from the deck of
a steamer, in this particu-
lar test the rub strake of
the steamer struck above
the fenders against the
side of the steel house.
In spite of this severe
punishment the busky lit-
tle craft came through
with scareely a dent in. her
superstructure.

The Lundin lifeboat with
a length of 36 feet has a beam of 12 feet and a draft

New Loew-Victor Distributor for Maryland.

Mr. R. W. Thompson, of 214 Light Street,
Baltimore, Md., after a trip to Chicago, and an

motors would make a valuable addition to his
present lines of engines. He has,therefore, been
appointed Loew-Victor distributor for Maryland.

Durkee’s Campaign of Protection.
Chas. D. Durkee & Co., of 2 South
Street, New York, are now sending to
their customers cards and circulars
pointing out the unnecessary expense to
which they and all big houses are put
by the practice of customers return-
ing goods without notification, where
no fault exists on the part of the manu-
facturer. As a matter of self-protection
they will, in the future, refuse to ac-
cept materia] of any description, unless
permission for its return is given in ad-
vance. When they do accept a return of
goods a charge of 10 per cent. will be
made to cover the cost of ae and,
of course, such other expenses as freight
or expressage. When, however, the
fault is theirs they will expect to stand
these expenses. The proposition seems
a fair one as a manufacturer is often
obliged to bear a 50 per cent. loss on
articles returned, and his prices must,
therefore, be higher to make up for this
deficiency. If, however, by some such
scheme as the Durkee Co. is now put-
ting forward, the “‘guilty’’ person is
asked to pay for a portion of this logs,
the prices may be kept down for other
customers,

U-S-L Management and Staff Retained.

In the United States District Court in Buffalo
on July 2ist, Judge Hazel appointed James 0.
Moore and James A. Roberts, receivers for The
United States Light and Heating Company follow-
ing a case in equity. That it was a case in equity
and not in bankruptcy was made evident in the
hearing.

It was clearly outlined by the Court that there
should be no interruption in the fulfilment of
existing contracts, in the prosecution of pending
business or in the company's operations in any
department.

Mr. A. H. Ackermann, vice-president
and general manager prior to the re-
ceivership, was immediately appointed
general manager to operate the busi-
ness because of his familiarity with
it, and the entire staff of salesmen,
engineers, etc., were retained in their
former capacities.

Mr. Ackermann has issued the fol-
lowing statement to the trade and to
the public:

‘The action recently sustained in the
appointment of the receivers for the
property of the company was a neces-
sary step to conserve the assets for the
benefit of all. With assets of three
dollars for every dollar of debt, the
company is amply stable, and the
Court's direction to continue the busi-
ness is the last proof necessary to re-
assure the buying public. There are
already under way plans for broad
financing, and with the return of gen-
eral prosperity in the country, the
U-S-L, more aggressive than ever be
fore, intends to secure its own full
Share of the buisness and to continue
the manufacture and sale of its special
electrical products.’”

Shipping a 42-Footer to Peru.

Engine & Power Co. and Chas. L. Sea-
bury & Co.

cruiser General Castilla, built by the Gas Engine & Pow-
er ©o., and Charles L. Seabury Co., Cons., Morris
Heights, N. Y., for the President of the Republic of
Peru, as she looked crated and ready for shipment on
the steamer Crofton Hall last month. General Castilla
weighs in the neighborhood of 10 tons, and in order to
protect the boat for the long trip around the Horn
it was necessary to put her in a substantial crate 80
that she could be loaded through the hatch of the
steamer. The hatch was 35’ 6” long and 14’ wide and
as the crate measures 43’ x 10 6” x 10’ 4” it had to be
tilted to an angle of 45°
to enable it to go through
the opening into the hold.

the boat builders
believe is the

long distance
cruiser is powered
with a Frisbie motor.

largest of its kind ever built around a boat, withstood
the strains attendant on lifting it at this precarious
angle, although as stated above, the cruiser is a
pretty hefty proposition.

General Castilla is a raised-deck cruiser with a beam
of 9’ 6” and a draft of 3’. She is built of cedar and
oak, with joiner work of mahogany. Her engine is a
34-48 h.p. Speedway, and she is fitted with an alcohol
stove also bearing the Speedway name. Forward of
a roomy cockpit having a raised helmsman’s platform
is the engine-room with accommodations for crew of
two. The galley is in this compartment on the port
side, and forward is the main cabin, 14 feet long, hav-
ing Pullman accommodations for four people.

Castilla was crated at the builders’ yards at Morris
Heights, lifted aboard the steam lighter Manager, and
earried down to the pier at Brooklyn, where she was
transferred to a barge and thence lifted into the hold
of the New York and South American Line steamer.
Everything went off without a hitch and she is by now
probably journeying up the west coast of South Amer-
ica on the last leg of her long journey.

Row Boat Motors in the Government Service.

A 4 horsepower detachable rowboat motor has re-
cently been shipped by the Sweet Manufacturing Co.,
of Detroit, Mich., to Cle Elum, Washington, for use
by the Government Forest Reserve in patrolling the
Kittitas and Yakima Rivers. This is the section
just at the foothills of the Cascade Mountains.

Such recognition by the Government demonstrates
the certain usefulness of the rowboat motor, and in
this particular instance it will undoubtedly be the
means of saving immense | loss by forest fires.

Syracuse Agents for Frisbie.

W. D. Andrews & Co., of Syracuse, N. Y., have
been appointed Frisbie agents for that portion of
New York in which they are located.

The Frisbie Motor Co., of Middletown, Conn., be
lieve they will have a very valuable agency with W. D.
Andrews & Co., and that the latter concern will find
the Frisbie four-cycle line will prove of advantage to
them.

Among Frisbie motors which have been sold in
Syracuse and vicinity. recently are the following:
Floyd C. Hines, of Syracuse, N. Y., double-cylinder
10 h.p.; Mr. W. G. Lanning, Syracuse, double-cylinder,
14 h.p.; T. M. Milton & Son, of Brewerton, N,. Y.,
18-18 h.p., three-cylinder motor.

S O S Becomes Safety First.

The following exchange of letters which is printed
verbatim is self-explanatory and will interest all those
who have seen or heard of the Holmes lifeboat cruiser:

Department of Commerce,
Bureau of Navigation,
Washington.
Holmes Motor Company, Inc.,
West Mystic, Conn.

Gentlemen—It has come to the attention of this
bureau that you have constructed for demonstration
purposes a thirty-six foot motor lifeboat, which you
have named S O 8.

In view of the nature of this boat, it appears to
be well within the limits of probability that such
a designation may appear in the text of a wireless
message, which suggests the not unlikely possibil-
ity of confusion with the international wireless dis-
tress signal “SS O S” and for this reason, I respect-
fully request that you change the name of this at.

Respectfully,
(Signed) E. T, Chamberlain, Commissioner.
Mr. E. T. Chamberlain, Commissioner,
Washington, .

Dear Sir—In accordance with the request of your
department, we will change the name of 5S O 5 to
Safety First. Very truly yours,

The Holmes Motor Co., Inc.

Our Greatest Motor Boat

Races.
(Continued from page 5)

the thirty miles than on the pegeeding dag. Hardly
necessary to have timers when Ankle Deep is racing.
This time of 43-43 for thirty nautical miles is equiva-
lent to a sp of 47-4 miles per hour, just about the
average speed which this boat made in the American
races last year when she was running at her best.

In England last September, Ankle Deep’s best time

for the so-called 32.4 nautical miles was 42-41, which
is equivalent to 52.4 miles per hour or just 5 miles
an hour faster than she has ever done on this side
of the Atlantic. This would indicate that the sup-
posed length of 32.4 miles was 9% per cent. too short
and that the boats, instead of going 32.4 miles really
went only 29.3 miles. Even at this, it would make
a mighty close and interesting race between either
Baby Reliance V or Baby Speed Demon II and the
coe champion, Maple Leaf IV.
F hile the cup itself goes to Baby Speed Demon II
it was very evident that her sister, Baby Reliance V,
was the faster of the two. This latter boat had little
trouble in leading the entire fleet over the last twenty-
nine miles in the first race, it requiring less than one
mile for Baby V to pass Peter Pan VI. But the latter
boat, true to her past record, made a game start,
being over the line first at the crack of the gun and,
in fact, was about the only boat which went out on
Wednesday when Lake George was more like the
Atlantic Ocean or Long Island Sound after a three
days’ north-easter. This condition necessitated call-
ing off the races for the day, but Peter Pan VI gave
a fine exhibition of what a little 20-footer can with-
stand in the shape of a sea.

Also in the second race, Baby Reliance V started
off at a terrific clip, opening a big gap between the
rest of the field before the first turn had been reached,
less than two miles from the start. Just at this turn
an unfortunate accident occurred which put her out
of the running entirely for the rest of the races and
probably prevented an even better speed record being
established than Baby Speed Demon II was able to
make. However, there is no question but that this
little boat will be heard from later this season and
she may be the world champion yet. The cause of
the accident can only be laid to an unfortunate series
of circumstances which made it mecessary to put
aboard a new mechanician in place of the one
which had been working with the boat and engine
during all the months of trying out. The new
engineer was unfamiliar with the little details and
when the real test came something let go.

Baby Speed Demon II, the winner of the series,
took second place in the first race and first place in
the other two races and as the method of scoring
allowed each boat a point for finishing and an addi-
tional point for each of the boats entered which she
defeated, whether they started or not, Baby Demon
was therefore credited with a total of 29 points out
of a possible 30. This is the same 20-foot hull and
power plant which cleaned up everything at Peoria
at the Tye Valley near early in July, as
was told in the August issue of MoTor BoatinG. The
history of the motor goes back even further, no one
knows exactly how far, as it has been used in an
almost countless number of hulls, both experimental
and of various names, for the past two or three
years. While Baby Demon was able to win easily
on the Illinois river against the pick of western boats
at a speed of 41.3 miles an hour and often slower,
yet on Lake George she had to go 49.6, 50.49 and
47-3 miles an hour respectively in each of the races
in order to come home ahead. F

Baby Reliance V and Buffalo Enquirer were also
20-foot hulls built by the C. C. Smith Boat & Engine
Co., powered with new 8-cylinder Sterling motors and

=! ms .
Ankle Deep needs no description. as she is as
familiar to everyone as though she had crossed the
Atlantic. She was the same reliable boat, running on
an even keel and affording her owner and engineer
as much comfort as any runabout. She was decidedly
a favorite with the “natives,” and there were many
ready to back her with their last cent that she would
win. It was not until the last race when she had hit
the only log ever seen floating in the lake, which
broke her pert propeller shaft and drove one blade
way through her thin planking that they would admit
that their favorite was beaten. The accident threw
the Count out into the water, but Engineer Grenon
soon had the boat under control and rescued the owner.
Count Mankowski reluctantly acc a tow, probably
for the first time in his life, and Ankle D was
taken back to her house, but not leaking badly in

ite of the accident. The cut been so clean and
the blade remained through the planking, which pre-
vented the water from entering.

Hawk Eye,. the $10,000 boat built by the syndicate
of Lake George men for the purpose of keeping the
cup at home, was a big Conqpemenent. Only once
did she show | speed and that was during the
first half of the first lap in rhe last race when she
seemed to draw away from the field with ease. It
was only short lived, however, for a magneto chain
let go again and out she went. This one spurt prob-
ably was worth thousands of dollars to the e
George people, for they applauded with all the en-
thusiasm which they had | saving up for weeks
in advance and even after their favorite was passed
and after some one in the grand-stand cried, “Wait
until next year,” they applauded again and showed
they had real red blood in their veins. We sincerely
hope that the plans will be so arranged that the 1915
race can be handled in by the Lake George Regatta
Association for they deserve it. ;

Kex II, a Big 38-Footer.

(Continued from page 15)

The bridge deck, or cockpit, is above the engine-
room. A wide seat, with high back, extends clear
across aft, known locally as “the pew.” The three
companionways lead from the bridge to the respective
compartments.

The unique feature of Kex II is the steering column
and control cabinet, which stand in the cockpit. The
former is of massive bronze, incorporating the bin-
nacle with a 6-inch Baker compass. The 24-inch
yacht’s wheel is built of eclé wood, and carries the
spark and throttle levers on its face—an unusual ar-
rangement on this type of wheel. Under the glass
top of the control cabinet, and running on rolls, are
the charts of the entire coastline, from New York to
Nova Scotia, which may be passed under the helms-
man’s eye, protected from wind and water, by the
turn of a knob. Opening the door at the starboard
end discloses the flags of the International Code, each
tucked in its labeled compartment, with the Power
Squadron Code Book on a shelf above. The corre-
sponding door to port has shelves for pipes, tobacco,
etc. The doors at the front are of plate glass, and
cover the switchboard and control board. The former,
besides the usual switches, carries a Weston volt-
ammeter, McRae circuit breaker, fire alarm gong that
operates by a thermostatic contractor in case the car-
bureter takes fire; a bilge alarm, that rings when the
water in the bilge reaches a predetermined height;

the gasoline shut-off valve, the tell-tale lights in series
with the starboard, port and bow lights. The control
board carries the Bosch switch ana self-starter lever

(for the engine is equipped with a dependable air
starter), main air valve, air and water circulation
gauges, sight oi! circulation glass, barometer, Cheisea
clock, tachometer, recording counter and a fire knob—
pulling which will break a bottle of Pyrene and douse
the carbureter should a fire occur at that point. The
whistle valve is under foot, and within reach is the
reverse-lever, with positive latch for the neutral posi-
tion, as is also the lever for throwing in the clutch
of the Keilogg 4-cylinder air compressor. On deck
also is a standpipe, connected with a power Trimount
pump for washing down decks, and also for playing
the hose on your friends when they are trying to come
aboard.

Thus the steersman can start his engine, and be sure
that all functions are being performed, without enter-
ing the engine-room.

A ten-gallon oil reservoir is connected by a hand
pump to the crankcase, as is also a pump for ejecting
the old oil outboard, so that the owner can “tinker”
this engine in his white flannels, and oil cans become
mere ornaments, Electricity is supplied by a Holtzer
Cabot generator and 12-volt Edison battery.

The engine-room is well ventilated by port lights,
and by a system of cowl ventilators that insure circu-
lation in rough weather. There are two Janney-Stein-
metz gasoline tanks suspended athwartship, aft of the
engine, containing 236 gallons, or enough to cruise
over 600 miles, and fed to the carbureter by independ-
ent lines of seamless tube, strainers, etc. As back-
firing, through the carbureter into the bilge, and the
ee sible ignition of explosive vapors is the most pro-
ific source of fire in motor boats, both air intakes are
connected to a vertical 4-inch brass pipe that takes air
from the ceiling of the engine-room, above any pos-
sible stratum of explosive gas, and where the air is
warm and dry. The exhaust piping is brass tubing,
with a “custom-made” bronze Maxim silencer. The
engine-room contains two good bunks, an oilskin
locker, and a work-bench, with vise, tool lockers, etc.
The motor is a 30 h.p. Sterling, turning a Hyde
28-inch x 32-inch wheel at a maximum of 460 r.p.m.

The saloon is a choice example of comfort and inte-
rior decoration and shows the woman’s good taste in
its harmoniousness, the owner’s wife having been an
ardent yachtswoman ever since her first cruise in little
Kex to Mt. Desert. To a point shoulder-high the
woodwork is mahogany, the Pullman berths, showing
when closed, figured panels which act as backs to the
transom seats. The walls and ceiling are paneled and
wainscoted, the frames white, and the panels French
gray. Lighting is from a semi- indisert fixture, hung
under the skylight, and four wall brackets for reading,
with empire shades. The fixtures are of Colonial de-
sign, and were made to order to match the locks,
knobs and drawer-pulls. Upholstery and port-light
curtains are of flowered cretonne, with a soft green
Wilton on the floor to harmonize. In the saloon there
is a permanent place for the Victrola, china cabinets,
lockers, drawers under transoms, table with drop
leaves and two large closets.

The toilet is finished entirely in white enamel, even
to the Sands plumbing, aad contains medicine-closet
and linen locker. The galley is forward, has a hatch
and ladder to deck, porcelain sink, lots ‘of lockers, a
large size ice-chest and a little Speedway alcohol range
on which a real meal may be “brewed.”

Aft is the owner’s stateroom, finished in mahogany
and white, containing two 3-foot berths, a bureau,
seven drawers, a locker and a berth for a two-year-old
progeny with a grill that slides up at night to keep the

‘animal” from escaping.

On deck a Providence capstan does great business
with an 8o-pound anchor, an 11-foot tender is carried
outboard that takes about two hours to clear away,
and a mast is equipped with auxiliary sails—solely for
good moral effect on the motor.

As Geor, e Lawley, the yacht builder, said to the
owner: he trouble with that boat is that you have
squeezed a 60-footer into 38 feet.”

Kex II was designed by the owner, Frank P.
Huckins, a member of the Regatta Committee, and an
officer of the Power Squadron, of the Boston Yacht
Club, who is strictly an amateur, giving his attention
to the lumber business when not cleaning cogk peeee.
He has a young machine shop in his home in ook-
line, and put in 968% hours’ time making and install-
ing the accessories previously described.

Kex II was not designed for speed, so that no one
is surprised that she makes a forced sped of eight
knots and a cruising speed of 7.5.

The builder was Ambrose A. Martin, of East Boston.
The dimensions are: Length overall, 38 ft.; length
waterline, 35 ft. 11 in.; beam, 1o ft. 6 in.; draft, g ft.
She has a freeboard forward of 5 fi. 6 in., and aft of

4 ft. 6 in. Her displacement. is about 21,000 lbs., and
her tonnage is 14.89 gross, and 12 net.

“Some share of the credit’, says the Curtiss
Company, “naturally belongs to - - - - -

The protective qualities of a varnish have
never been subjected to greater tests than on
the many Curtiss Flying Boats now in use.

Every one of these machines is varnished
with Valspar. Despite the constant exposure
to pouring rain, broiling sun, salt air and the
water itself, Valspar gave the materials per-
fect protection.

These boats, in the hands of scores of oper-
ators, have recently completed over half a
million miles of travel without an injury or
serious accident.

So good have been the records of Curtiss Fly-
ing Boats that Rodman Wanamaker commis-
sioned this company to build his Flying Boat
America—which is now being prepared to

‘cross the Atlantic Ocean. And of course the

America is Valsparred.

VALENTINE’S

The Varnish That Won’t Turn White

Valspar is a good varnish above the water,
where it is exclusively used by the Curtiss
Company; and it is equally as good on the
water, where it is used by thousands of indi-
vidual boat owners.

Valspar not only gives the full measure of
protection, but it is the only waterproof var-
nish in the world—the one varnish that does
not turn white in water. Nor does it whiten
or cloud when exposed to the salt air or fly-
ing spray. Valspar can be washed every day
without the least injury to its finish. It is
more durable than other varnishes, yet dries
dust-free in two hours; hard overnight.
Yours should be a Valsparred boat for the
very same reason that the Vanitie, the Sham-
rock and the German Emperor’s yacht are
Valsparred—no other varnish at any price is
as good.

To be sure of getting a really good bottom
paint, specify Valspar Bronze Bottom Paint.
It is durable, handsome and antifouling.

Weather and the M. B.
Man.

(Continued from page 9)

work are for the most part intricate pieces of mechan-
ism, which have been brought to a high degree of
perfection. The amateur fashions a wind vane from

fish-shaped piece of wood by piercing it with a
bolt and fastening it aloft. But the Weather Bureau
builds its anemoscope, as it is called, of light metal
and thin strips of wood, supports it on a system of
three rollers which revolve with the minimum of
friction, balances it with extreme nicety, and pro-
duces altogether an instrument which records the
direction of the wind with the utmost accuracy. In
order to make a record of the movements of the
vane, the revolving shaft is fitted with four cams,
corresponding to the compass positions, N., E., S. and

.«» which make contact with four insulated’ springs
electrically connected to the recording instrument in
the observer’s office. When the wind blows from
the north, for instance, the vane turns and brings
tke “North” cam into contact with its particular
springs, causing the proper wind direction to be reg-
istered. As the adjacent cams overlap slightly, the
intercardinal points are also registered, by closing
the circuit through two of the springs, making it
possible to record NE., SW., etc., winds

The anemometer, consisting of four cups fast-
ened to steel arms, which are secured to a vertical
spindle, is used to record as nearly as possible the
velocity or force of the wind. The cups and the
rest of the mechanism, which revolves as the wind
is trapped in the cups, are made as slight as they
can be and still remain intact under the force of a
wind, but there must, naturally, be some weight to
them, and therefore, it is impossible for them to
move as fast as the wind does nertia, friction,
momentum (the last factor when the wind is gusty),
all have had to be considered in the design of the
anemometer, and allowances have, therefore, had to
be made for all these factors to permit of accuracy
in the recorded wind velocities. The recording mech-
anism consists of a series of worm gears and dials
having different numbers of teeth which move at a
certain ratio to each other, and cause an electrical
apparatus to register on a moving cylinder, the cor-
rect velocity of the wind in miles per hour

The rain gauge, shown at the top of page 9 in the

foreground of the picture, is known as the tipping
bucket type. This gauge is simple in construction,
with an opening in the top for the admission of the
rain, tapering down into a small hole directly un-

derneath which is a small tipping bucket which, on
being filled, shows a general precipitation of one
hundredth of an inch. The bucket is so shaped that
it tips the instant it is full, thereby closing an elec-
trical circuit which sends its message to the mechan-
ical recorder, and the bucket having emptied itself,
it resumes its normal position. Other types of rain
gauges register the precipitation by delicately ad-
justed scales.

In addition to these instruments the Weather Bu-
reau employs whirling psychrometers for recording
the relative humidity of the atmosphere, sui shine
recorders, snow stakes, as well, of course, as the
more familiar barometers and thermometers. ‘lae
meterorograph, shown in the center of page ooo, is
not used in making daily ebservations, but is em-
ployed to ascertain the weather conditions in the
upper air, being sent up by kite and combining in
one instrument the functions of the barograph, therm-
- and anemograph. Similar to the meteroro-
graph is the triple register which records the mes-
sages electrically transmitted by the anemometer, the
barometer, the thermometer, the psychrometer, the
wind vane (to get away from long words and give
it its common name), and the rain and sunshine
recorders. This register is composed of cylinders,
inked pens, clockwork, actuating mechanism and the
necessary electrical connections, and combines in one
instrument the various apparati necessary te write
out on paper the complete record of the day’s me-
teorological doings, with the exception of snowfall,
which is automatically recorded by a special register
of its own attached to the scales referred to in the
preceding paragraph.

The Cape Cod Canal.

(Continued from page 13)

terprise which built the canal, a toll will be charged
to motor boats for passage, according to the length or
tonnage of the boat. It contains no locks, being en-
tirely constructed at sea level, but on account of the
difference in_ the amount of rise and fall of tide in
Wareham’s River, Buzzards Bay, where there is a
mean rise and fall of the tide of 4.1 feet and at Sand-
wich, near the northeastern end of the canal where
there is a mean change of 9.4 feet, there is consider-
able current running through at times which will be
objectionable to some craft and may make it necessary
to put in one or more locks.

EASTERN STAR

**Cleaning Them Up” on the Hudson with a Loew-Victor Engine

This family runabout has been the sensation on the Hudson River this year, and won the 1914 race from New York to
Albany in record time. Read what the delighted owner says about

Loew-Victor Model 13

Dear Mr. Rost:

You no doubt are aware of the fact that
on June 27th my boat, the ‘‘Eastern Star,’’
broke the record for the 270 mile course
from New York to Albany and return. We
completed the course in 18 hours, 44 min-
utes and 25 seconds.

We covered the first half of the course
from New York to Albany—135 miles—in
8 hours and $1 minutes, which makes an
average speed of 15.3 miles per hour. On
the return trip we were obliged to reduce
our speed considerably on account of dark-
ness and drift wood.

With the propeller that I have on the
boat at present a 20 by 22 3-blade ‘‘Ailsa
Craig’ style, turning at top speed 1050
R. P. M. I can average 18 miles per hour.

However, at no time during the race, did
we turn more than 900 R. P. M., in fact we
averaged about 875. As we were not being

ushed hard we stepped the engine at Al-

y and gave it teen minutes rest. At
no other time during the run did we stop the
engine or encounter the least trouble, not
even a miss.

Inasmuch as my boat is 30 ft. by 6 ft.
3 inches, drawing 10'/, inches, I consider
the results I obtained on this run as re-
markable.

Sincerely,
(Signed) E. L. FINCH.

you such splendid service

That’s why you find Prest-O-Lite used by experienced boat owners, on the small-
est sail boats to the largest cabin yachts, for searchlight, port and starboard lights

—and cabin fixtures, too.

Prest-O-Lite furnishes you a practical, brilliant light wherever you choose
to cruise—with no theft of engine power or boat speed, no fickle dynamo, no com-
plicated wiring to short circuit, fuses to blow, switches to stick, or heavy, bulky

storage battery to leak and splash acid.

Prest-O-Lite is quickly

and

easily installed on any boat

Any average mechanic can do the work in a few
hours. And when once installed, anyone can under-
stand and operate Prest-O-Lite. You’re not dependent
upon high-priced experts to regulate delicate electrical
mechanisms.

Prest-O- Liter gives
added convenience

If you choose, by adding this to the regular equip-
ment you can have “push the button” convenience for
searchlight and signal lamps. Makes it possible to
light the lamps without the use of matches. Lights
are under perfect control. You turn them on or off
as you need them.

Before you buy any boat light-
ing system, get the actual facts
about all of them.

You owe it to yourself to get the truth about motor

Help Your Dealers by
Advertising

Up-to-date manufacturers do not consider their product sold
when it has only reached the dealer. They follow it through
until it is in the hands of the consumer.

Motor Boating is the most tangible dealer aid known. All
the best dealers read it regularly, and they see what is being
done for them in the way of advertising by the manufacturers
they represent. Their appreciation is shown by increased

“THE STANDARD RUNABOUT MOTOR”

VAN BLERCK Sales in 1914 Show

100% Increase Over Previous Season

The rapidly growing popularity of VAN BLERCK Motors, as evi-

denced by the above record, together with the “specialized” or

“one type” manufacturing policy adopted by this company, jus-
tifies the slogan, “STANDARD RUNABOUT MOTORS.”

During the present season we have built and sold more high-powered engines for runabouts and
express cruisers—the type specialized by us—than any other engine manufacturer.

The ‘“‘Greater Value” resulting from a specialized manufacturing policy has won and held the
favor of naval architects, builders and owners alike. They know that the specialized product is
vastly more efficient and economical than that of the general or diversified line manufacturer. In
proof of these statements we submit the public fact that the most notable boats of the season of
1914, as well as for many years back, have been Van Blerck powered.

The approval of the
trade has taken such defi-
nite form as to warrant
us in making contracts
for materials for our
1915 manufacturing
schedule three times
greater than during the
present year.

Our 1915 SALES
PLAN will be ready
October Ist. It is unique,
liberal and stable.

Less Wear on Engine

Install a Gordon

It is as strong as a solid wheel.

The blades do not vary, but stay
where set.

The blades are correct in design
and accurate in pitch.

Other reversible wheels have only
the neutral full ahead and full
reverse.

In addition to these you can secure
any intermediate pitch or posi-
tion with the Gordon instantly.

No fore and aft movement through
the stuffing box, therefore no
wear and no leakage.

It answers quickly when reversed—
will stop a boat running at full
speed quicker than any other re-
verse equipment on the market.

It has a sand-proof hub.

It lasts longer, and works easily
and smoothly.

It is the only wheel practical as an
auxiliary—the blades feather per-
fectly and make no drag.

All mechanism easily accessible
for oiling. This insures addi-
tional life over other reverse pro-
pellers.

It gives perfect control—this will
give longer life to your engine
and reduce fuel bills.

From full ahead to full reverse at
a touch of the lever, without
racing or affecting the engine.

No danger of stalling the engine.

Perfect Control

Any expert will tell you it is impossible to figure exactly the best pitch of
wheel for a boat, from its dimensions and the size of engine. You get as close
as possible, and then if results are unsatisfactory, try another size.

When you buy a GORDON, our experts give you the benefit of their prac-
tical, not theoretical, experience with propellers under all sorts of conditions. You
will thus come as close to the proper diameter and pitch as it is possible to figure.
AND THEN—

The wheel will do the rest. Owing to the peculiar and scientific arrangement of
the Gordon, it is possible, by simply moving the lever a notch either way, to instantly
change the pitch of your wheel; and the blades will stay where set, as fast and strong
as a solid wheel. This is a feature not to be found in any other propeller on the market
today, and the one on which we base our ascertion that we can positively increase your
speed and power. You can get the exact pitch that is best suited to your boat and
engine.

Furthermore, if you find or think your engine would turn up a larger wheel, it is
but a matter of two or three minutes to remove one set of blades and try out larger
ones. The GORDON BLADES are interchangeable.

The exact, proper pitch possible with the GORDON invariably in-

Build Your Business for All Time

Let Us Reason Together
QUALITY—SERVICE—PRICE

are the three important factors which have
created our Marine Engine Business

When you recommend and sell a customer a Marine Engine
and it exceeds all expectations, you have succeeded in attaching
to your business a permanent customer—one that will talk and
drive additional business your way.

12 H. P. MODEL 2-0 EAGLE.
Bore 4% x 4. 12 H. P. at 800 R. P. M.

This is the engine that is driving a 14 ft. sled
hydroplane at 24% miles per hour, turning a 3 blade
14 x 25 pitch Atlantic propeller at 1285 R. P. M.
This same engine will turn a 3 blade 18 in. x 22 pitch
Hyde propeller at 830 R. P. M. It’s the most power-
ful two cycle engine ever designed for its stroke and

bore and weighs only 250 pounds. Price $160.00.

A reason why “EAGLE” distrib-
utors are the best engine agents in
this and foreign countries is due to
the permanent business they have
created by pushing and handling
consistently, quality engines only.

You will find these successful distributors
and agents selling “EAGLE” Engines from
year to year, due to the excellence of the product
and the exceptional service we render to them
through our big line and properly financed
organization.

“EAGLE” Engines are the money-earn-
ing kind, they are the kind that put life into
your business, the kind that make your bus-
iness, the kind that make far more easy sales,

the kind Mr. Live Dealer that you hould investigate and promote.

‘““EAGLE” Engines are the last word in two cycle Engine construction.

They

have the following advantages over all other makes of the same rated horse power:
less weight, more power, more compact, superior construction and most impor-

Aerothrust | —

The Greatest of all Row boat Motors

The newest, the most mod- ‘
ern, the simplest, the least ex-
pensive, the most reliable, and
the fastest of all rowboat mo-
tors.

Here, at last, is a great prac-
tical application of the aerial
propeller to the rowboat—
placed within the reach of
everyone. The fastest water

craft in the world is driven by

/ an aerial propeller. Here is an opportunity for you to pro-

pel your rowboat by this wonderfully efficient means. You will

leave all the ordinary rowboat motors in your wake—far behind.

A sensation everywhere that it has been seen. Write today sure,

to learn all about this remarkable device and the wonderfully
low special introductory offer.

The Aerothrust is most efficient because it is fastest, and avoids the
problem of weeds, shallow water, etc. Attached to an ice boat, the Aero
thrust will develop astounding speed. By substituting a fly wheel for the
propeller and a stationary base for the boat mounting, it becomes a won-
derfully efficient stationary engine for general purposes. By using a
special attachment which we will furnish, it can be mounted on the rear
of a ~ and drive the bicycle at 7, 20 to 50 miles an hour.

Wherein Frisbie Motors Are Different From Others

Frisbie Motors are the highest exponents of a certain type of
construction which is acknowledged by all real experts to give
greater power and speed in relation to size of cylinders and
amount of fuel consumed than any other construction. We refer
to the valve-in-head design, the valves opening directly into the
explosion chamber or dome, without pockets or recesses to waste
gas and power. Every ounce of energy from the burning gas is
exerted directly upon the piston heads.

The valves are exceptionally large, insuring a full charge om the intake

and a quick, thorough scavenging on the exhaust. Valves are quickly re
moved with their cages for grinding.

The New Three Cylinder] New Models

We recently brought out two new threecylinder dels, to plete our
line between the two and éourcylinder Frisbie Motors. These new models
have already proved their
merit and popularity with

Eliminates the hard work and uncertainty
from back-kicks from cranking. When engine
kicks-back the crank don’t go.

You can run your boat without a Rear Starter,
but for SAFETY, comfort and general satis-
faction, a good SAFE starter on your engine
is hard to beat. The cranking handle can be
placed at any convenient point—ahead of the
engine, behind or on the bulkhead. Can be
installed in half a day, even if your boat is
overboard.

Price is within reach of every boat owner.
For $10 or less, the right size Starter will be
delivered by prepaid express.

This Starter is no experiment—it is a proven
success. Hundreds have been sold in the past
three years that have been successfully in-
stalled on all kinds of engines.

At COEUR D’ALENE, Idaho, last month a Model F Red
Wing THOROBRED, in H. W. Carver’s 18-ft. Hydropiane
won the sweepstakes of the lake for the entire three days of
the greatest race meet ever held there, defeating boats of 2%
times the power. Mr. Carver’s THOROBRED-powered hydro
hits up a speed of 28 miles an hour, and keeps it up without
a particle of engine trouble. Just another instance of THORO-
BRED supremacy.

But speed is not the only accomplishment of the “THORO-
BRED.” Read in this issue, the story of the “Creeping Bear,”
a tunnel stern, shallow-draft passenger boat, 35 ft. long with
7-foot beam, owned by Roxie Nelson, Red Wing, Minn., which
makes 11 and 12 miles an hour with a Model C THOROBRED.
The Creeping Bear is a service boat, a money maker, and she’s
on the job all the time.

THAT’S what the Johnson Brothers V-Type High
Speed Marine Motor represents. Most motors today
are built on the same old, slow-going principles which
marked the beginning of the gas engine, with additions
and changes here and there intended to meet changed
requirements.

The Johnson V-Type is designed along new scientific
lines, eliminating all the faults of the old style 2-cycle
and 4-cycle motors, combining the enormous power of
the former with the easy control and dependability of
the latter in one-half the space required for either.

SIZES:

4 cyl. 60 H. P., 210 Ibs. 8 cyl. 120 H. P., 395 Ibs.
6 cyl. go H. P., 298 Ibs. 12 cyl. 180 H. P., 590 Ibs.

FEATURES:

Positive mechanical control;
no carburetor adjustments; new
positive cooling; guaranteed fuel
economy; supreme workmanship;
compactness; light weight. Write
today for full particulars on the
classiest high speed motor in the
world.

Questions of
Mr. Careful Gear Buyer
No. 12

Reverse Gear
“Does it expand equally?”

Any gear installed resting on lugs projecting from
reverse band is bound to be a victim of binding and
friction. And gears with only one compression cam
at the top cannot guarantee freedom from torsional
strains.

The Baldridge can’t possibly bind or heat, even when
the gear is in the forward drive. It is entirely free
from drum, frame and housing. This is accomplished
through the double cam action, and because the reverse
band is supported from the bottom by a lug which fits

in the housing. The Baldridge is practically the only

gear in the market with this style reverse band. Other

Baldridge features are ex-

plained in the Baldridge

books. Your copy is wait- “The gear

Marvelous Performance of Wisconsin Motors

png of those who were present at the races in Peoria
on July 2nd, 3rd and 4th were absolutely astonished
when they saw the performance of Wisconsin Motors;

others who knew the motors simply took it for granted.

Running continuously at high speed (2200 R. P. M.), covering over one

hundred miles during the three days of the races, without touching the
motors, is the performance of every Wisconsin Motor which entered.
Other builders of high speed motors never permit their products to
run continuously like this. They run the motor for an hour and
then let it rest for an hour to cool off or to make repairs. But, when
a motorboat is equipped with a Wisconsin Motor, its dependability
and its owner’s knowledge that it will keep going continuously is
becoming past history in the motorboating world.

ZSCONMSTII

Motors are built in various sizes and they smash every record they
go up against.

Equip your motorboat with a Wisconsin and you will realize how gratifying it is
to have a really consistent motor—a motor which does things that no other SE
motor can do. Catalog sent free upon request.

Important Announcement

The new ERD 25 H. P., 4-cylinder, 4-cycle en-bloc motor can now be supplied with a successful
kerosene burning device when desired at an additional cost of only $10.00.
The ERD MOTOR CO. have heretofore never recommended a kerosene carburetor because
until now we have not been able to find one that proved satisfactory in every respect.
Our kerosene burning device installed on the new ERD-FOUR-FOUR will give you a combination that can not be
equalled for economy and efficiency.
This kerosene device is very simple in construction and adds only about 4 Ibs. to the weight.
It does not interfere in the least with motor operating on gasoline.
Both fuels will operate motor perfectly, and independently.
Insure your future operating cost by specifying the
ERD 4-cycle en-bloc equipped with this kerosene device.

If you want low first-low upkeep and low operating
cost, be sure to install the new ERD 25 H.P., 4-cylinder,
4-cycle unit power plant in your boat. Remember that the
ERD MOTOR CO. is one of the pioneers in the building of
gasoline motors and that—

How the
Pierce-Budd

tarred at
Peoria

One of the most striking performances at the recent
Peoria race meet was that of Ugly Duckling IJ, a
16 ft. Hacker-designed hydroplane, built by fer 18
year-old owner, Mr. Harry Godley. The engine is a
four-cylinder, 4 x 4 in., 30-40 H. P. Pierce-Budd, with
200 cubic inches piston displacement. Consistent
throughout in spite of discouraging ill luck, this boat
succeeded in making a remarkable showing and won
a good portion of the prize money.

The following letter from Mr. Godley
interest to all racing enthusiasts:

be of

will

616 West Third St., Davenport, Iowa, July 12th, 1914.
Bay City, Mich.
Attention, Mr. J. H.

Pierce-Budd Company,
Pierce.
Gentlemen :

It might interest you to know the results of the races I entered with Ugly Duckling Il
at Peoria, July 2nd, 3rd and 4th. ran in every event but one, and ran more miles and
was placed in more events than any other boat. In a total of 145 miles of racing I never
had a second’s trouble with the engine in itself.

On July 2nd I easily took first in Class ‘“‘A’’ from Mathilda, which had a special engine
of 223 cubic inches, and P. D. Q. IIL, with an engine of 214 cubic inches. In Class “D’’ I
ran second to Warren Grout with a 100 H. P. engine, winning over Tormentor with a 75
H. P. six-cylinder engine. In this race my rear starter came apart, but I finished alright.

In the next race the chain from the starter dropped into the magneto gears, putting me
completely out of the race. After putting in a borrowed set of gears, I discarded the
starter and cranked the engine from the flywheel. I was never more astonished than to see
the ease with which the engine started that way.

On July 3rd I again took first in Class “A.”’ In the Class “‘E’’ race we stove in a
plank and almost a steady stream of water poured on the engine for ten miles. In spite of

Our catalog is full of letters just as enthusiastic about the Pierce-Budd as this letter from Mr. Godley.

Americanize Your Boat. They urge you to install the

motor that their experience has shown is always ready to
start—always runs without a hitch—always brings them safely
back. Their hearts are full of praise for their American motors.
They’ re anxious to tell you of their success through the pages
of our new catalog. Give them a chance.
Here’s the way they talk.

Read This Letter

American Engine Co., Rockville Center, N.Y., Jan, 8, 1914.
Detroit, Michigan.

Gentlemen: —I received the American 4 H.P. engine, installed in my
20-foot boat “Oula”’ July 21, 1913. From that date until Labor Day it
took part in every race given by the Ocean Gate Yacht Club and won the
greatest number of trophy points, also 2 cups of which I am very proud.

It is an engine one can always depend on, never missing a stroke,
and in a race one can give their whole time to steering without
worrying whether the engine needs attention, as it behaves from
start to finish. I cannot say more for an engine than this.

Yours sincerely, MRS, OULA E. WHITEHEAD.

And note this letter comes from a women user. If she can get
such good service from an American motor, why can’t you?

American Motors

are the easiest motors in the world to install. You’ll appreciate this if you
are building your own boat. The absolute simplicity of American motors
will appeal to your whole family. Practically all working parts are enclosed.
The oil can’t splash out and soil clothing and there are no working parts
exposed where dresses can be caught. The operation of American motors
is just as simple as running an electric car. Your wife, your sons and
daughters all can run an American with perfect safety. Every one is given
an actual water test before leaving our factory. It must work right and
develop its full horsepower. And then every one is

Guaranteed for Life

Think what that means. We have such absolute faith in the design, the ma-
terials and the construction of our motors that we are willing to stand back of
them — not for one year or five years — but for life. They must be right. They
can't help giving perfect service. It’s no wonder American users are so enthusiastic.

It is reliability that measures the

value of an engine

Some engines may cost half as much as the Speedway
—others may cost twice as much. But if they have not
the Speedway’s steady, unremitting reliability both of
them together have not a quarter of the value to you
that a Speedway has.

Reliability of the Speedway kind means economy too—it takes the
peedway engine out of the high-priced class because the value for
your money is so much higher.

And besides, a recent reduction of 25% in price makes the expense
but moderate when prices alone are compared. Write for catalogue

THE F MODEL MEDIUM HEAVY DUTY
Lamb Marine Engine

Cruising for pleasure or installed in the commercial or fishing type of boat, the F Model
Medium Heavy Duty LAMB is the ideal power plant. Especially designed for hard and
continuous service, this engine is bound to satisfy. You will find it up-to-the-minute in
every respect, with most complete and the very highest grade of equipment.
This engine is of the small bore and long stroke type, 442 x 6% in., and with the 2-inch intake
valves directly over the piston is a wonder for power, flexibility and smooth running. Fuel
consumption is reduced to a minimum by the use of the hot water jacketed intake pipe. You
will find some of the most prominent racing cruisers in the East will be equipped with this type, for
the reason that this engine receives a very low rating under the racing rules.
The F Model engine is built in the two-cylinder, 15 H. P., four-cylinder, 30 H. P., and the six-cylinder,
45 H. P. size. Our other eleven models are equally as efficient as the F type, and are designed for a particu-
lar class of work. LAMB engines are guaranteed to you as long as you may own them, and with a guarantee that
we stand back of at all times. One of the
standard marine engines for the past fourteen
years, and still conceded to be one of the best.
Our aim has been to build an engine that we our-
selves are proud to claim.

That is the way the Sterling powered boats finished in all the three races The _ eight-cylinder, _stogiil
model, 180 H.P. STERLING

for the Gold Cup held on Lake George July 30th and 31st, winning this Det drove the, winner Tae

classic event by sheer consistency, by their inbuilt capacity to go and keep

on going, by the sturdy construction of both boat and engine and by the

skill and nerve of the drivers and mechanicians.

BABY SPEED DEMON I], the winner of both the Gold Cup and the Mile Trials,
was a wonderful demonstrator of what has been accomplished by both boat and en-
gine builder. Despite the fact that the first two races for this Gold Cup were run
at the rate of over 50.4 M.P.H. for a 30 nautical mile course, this boat ran three races and the mile
trials without a hitch, and is ready to go through it again and do the same thing.

At St. Augustine, Fla., at New York, at Philadelphia, at Montreal, at St. Andrews, Que., at Peoria, Ill—and now at
Lake George, N. Y.—Sterling powered boats have beaten every competitor, several of them having power plants of a
much greater rated horsepower. They have won these races because of the

absolute reliability of their power plants,
because of their ability to run hour after hour at terrific

, record-making speeds.

Can there be any further doubt in your mind that the Sterling engine is the ONE engine that can be relied upon
absolutely, no matter what the requirements may be? Why experiment when you can purchase a Sterling engine
exactly suited to your requirements and backed by the Sterling Guarantee and the Sterling Reputation?

Results, not claims, are back of the STERLING engine.

In every type of boat, in every kind of
Service,

the STERLING can show a record of successful performance which marks it as the most
conservative investment in the marine engine field.
