These five items ,performance, econâ€" omy, comfort, silence and safety, are closely interâ€"related, and to a large extent mutually inconsistent. They exist to a high degress in modern cars but not in any one car. The problem is whether a sharp break away from existing orthodox construcâ€" tion will enable a‘ marked advance to be made in the combined and final reâ€" sult. Maximum power with minimum weight are the factors in economy; maximum â€" passenger accommodation with reasonable overâ€"all dimensions, the elimination of mechanical tire and wind noises, and, last but not least, ease of handling, perfect brakes and steering and sufficient robustness to emerge from a collision with something left, all come into the picture. In an artitcle of : this length it is not possible even to skim the surface of the contentions points which arise, but one item at least deserves mention. It is that of the streamlined body, not as now popularly regarded, but given greatly superior acerodynamic qualities by being mounted on a chassis turned end to end, thus bringing the engine to the rear. for a long time to come, since many related â€"problems ‘have to be solved. Rearâ€"engined cars present the dilemâ€" ma of either increasing the unsprung We therefore have to think of future developments from the viewpoint of what we think the public src \ikely to want and to keep on wanting. Streamlining and Other Features With all its faults the modern car is a remarkably successful machine, but a census of opinions from users would probably be pretty unanimous in welcoming increases in performâ€" ance, economy, comfort, silence and safety. I say nothing of reduced cost, except that a car differs from no other object of human consumption in that by making it worse it can be made cheaper, and that by making it more expensive it can be made better. About the Shape of (Hy L. H. Pomerroy, of the Daimler Co.) ‘Those of us who are intimately conâ€" cerned with the problems and future development of motorâ€"cars know more or less the probable course of events. What we do not know is when they will This idea, simple in itself, implies enough work to keep engineers busy weight of the rear axle ty mounting the engine on it, with a host of assoâ€" clated difficulties in operating an enâ€" gine in a state of rapid vertical alterâ€" nating movements, or of carrying the engine on the chassis and transmitâ€" ting its power to the rear wheels by short universally jointed axle shafts. Expert Forecasts Some Noâ€" vel Features Likely to be in Cars of Future. the future,; based on what is happening now in engineering circles and places where they argue. All engineers are familiar with the sales dictum that we must give the public what they want. This sounds all right until it is realized that the public have never wanted anything beyond the eclementals until they have once had it, and not always then. The difficulties arising with univerâ€" sal joints working through large angles are well known. Yet passenger comâ€" fort demands large ‘axle movements to use low rated springs, which make these difficulties somewhat formidable. It is highly possible, iift fact ealmost certain, that rearâ€"engined cars will not be suitable for the average user until roads are much smoother and more uniform than now. There seems no way, however, ot taking advantage ofâ€" the ~possibilities of streamlining cther than by the rearâ€" engine construction.

The indeâ€" pendents have of necessity to provide this, and can thus offer soft front ‘springs with the attendant improveâ€" ment in suspension comfort. They also tackle the not unimportant matter of "rcad fight" on the steering wheel. Elimination of Road Shock On the other hand, the many sysâ€" temsâ€"*"wishbone," transverse, Lancia, Dubonnet, Girling, and so onâ€"indicate a lack of unanimity which justifies a nonâ€"committal attitude as to the final solution. g i l g tfie effort worth while. Very seldom, indeed, in any accepted construction can advantages in the order of 30 per cent. in performance and eccnomy be eflected by a studied redisposition of its components. Not the least modern effort of car designers to improve comfort and efâ€" fectiveness has been that of independâ€" ent front springs. It is not usually unâ€" derstood that the chief factor in ensurâ€" ing passenger comfort is that the softâ€" ness of the front springs shall be equal to that of the rear. Independent suspension may be reâ€" garded as of the rather than the fuâ€" ture, but it still has a long way to go. While it is doing it there are the alterâ€" natives of rubber and pneumatic Susâ€" pensicn. Eliminating the road shocks which azcur some five or six times a second from masses weighing one or two hunâ€" dred weights, and ensuring that "my lady" in the rear seat shall not know about it, is no mean problem. From the body and chassis we may proceed to what is going on in the prime moverâ€"the engine itself. : What is wanted is an increase of power in the middle speed range. In this connection the supercharger will come into its own. In the past superâ€" charging has been regarded as a means of increasing maximum horsepower. This has its limitations, for the maxiâ€" mum ‘horsepower is limited by bearing pressures and by heat flow through exâ€" haust valves and pistons. On the other hand, if an engine will develop safely, say, 30 h.p. per. litre at 4,000 r.p.m., it will develop this safely in so far as heat flow and be?.rings are concerned at 2.000 r.p.m. Modern supercharger developments are oriented from this viewpoint. From the early days of the "torâ€" pedo" body to the modern concave rear panel and builtâ€"in luggage compartâ€" ment definite sales resistance has been experienced from 90 per cent. of the public. The remaining 10 per cent. have jibed at motor manufacturers for being slowâ€"witted and outâ€"ofâ€"date. Therefore good, as always, has to be done by stealth. Thus, by the application of‘a device weighing, say, 10 per cent. of the enâ€" gine weight and about two per cent. of plished fact, we shall experience the reluctance of the public to purchase a new form of car. the car weight, it is possible to inâ€" crease acceleration by some 50 per cent. and annoyance Incidentally, our own Institute of Automobile Engineers‘ Research Deâ€" partment is doing work that compares favourably with that going on in any other country.: It is directed ‘by a comâ€" mittee of the representatives of leading manufacturers in this country who are not too proud to admit their troubles and to seek means for remedying them.

Callander Woman Mangled by Wheels of Freight Train Despatches this week from Callanâ€" d:r, near North Bay, note that a norâ€" rible tragedy took the life of one o!

Funeral of Mrs. Hurtubise was held Monday morning from: the residence to the church, thence to the Roman Cathâ€" olise ~cemetery forâ€" interment.. Rev. Father E. E. Bunyan officiated. Extremely hard of hearing, Mrs. Hurâ€" tubise, on the way to the store, walked directly in the path of the slowâ€"moving train which was preparing to make a stop. The fireman shouted warning but apparently she did not hear his words. One more step and she would have been clear. In these and amany other matters constructive research is proceeding in the investigation of problems the soluâ€" tion of any orâ€" all of which may and will profoundly affect future design. Greater Use of Light Alloys No review of this nature would be complete without reference to future possibilities of light alloys of the aluminum and magnesium types. The concentration which has taken place these last 20 years on making cars as cheaply as possible has reâ€" sulted in their being made principally from cast iron and sheet steel. â€" Yet there is no doubt that, for the attainâ€" ment of a given result in terms of performance and safety, the extra cost of light alloy construction is negligible in all but the cheapest cars.
