PROBLBHSOF SPEED New Type Streamline Cars Predicted for Rail and Interurban Use. One drop of falling water is showing engineers and scientists how to revolutionize the shape of trains, locomotives, interurban cars and other high speed vehicles. That drop of water helped them to work out the present designs for Zeppelins, for airplane wings, for racing automobiles. The same principles are now being applied to train design, and, recent an nouncements by Dr. Oscar G. Tiet jens of a national manufacturing company Indicate that the dawn of a new day in locomotive and coach construction Is about to break. Demands for higher speed have been growing more and more in sistent. Particularly in this coun try, with Its long distances and its speed minded population, any improvement in the speed of transportation would mean a real help. Therefore when Dr. Tietjens joined the staff of the company he soon realized the great possibili ties of applying aerodynamics to After the Dance Drop In For A Refreshing Drink And A Bite to Eat Leons Light House 39th .

This begins their series of nightly broadcasts over KFAB which will last thruout the spring, summer and fall seasons. the extremely Important field of transportation. Wind Tunnel Used. More than a year ago the work was started by building a wind tunnel for testing models of pres ent type trains as well as those of the streamline pattern. Dr. Tiet jens" background of experience in the development of aircraft and In racing car designs, gave him much valuable data and knowledge of the problems to be encountered. The special work In aerodynamics, which had won for him the degree of doctor . of philosophy from the University of Gocttingen and ex perience during more than six years as an associate of Dr. L. Prandtl had given him a thoro working knowledge of the princi ples of air resistance. Former tests of other types of equipment prompted his belief that total train resistance could be reduced one-half and wind re sistance to one-third for certain types of rail equipment at high speeds. If this should be accom plished, the necessary speeds could be obtained with less power con sumption and better transporta tion service would then be avail able at a lower operating cost.

When the present type of light in terurban car is moving forty miles an hour wind resistance Is almost 50 percent of the total resistance. When its speed is increased to 80 moles an hour the wind resistance has become more than 75 percent of the total train resistance. In a series of tests with models of present, type and streamline cars in winds of varying velocities up to 80 miles an hour, Tietjens has worked out some startling conclusions, and the results are be lieved to be correct and exact to a very close percentage. In the case of a heavy locomo tive and two heavy coaches, stream line design saves 13 per cent of the required total horse power for a speed of 35 miles an hour and 32 percent of the total Boston Market Grocery Department.

It requires 286 horsepower to drive the present type of light in terurban car 80 miles an hour. Tests made in the company's wind tunnel indicated that the same type of car in the streamline de sign can be driven 80 miles an hour with only 140 horsepower, thus saving 146 horsepower. Even at 35 miles an hour, streamlining Cfastij HOTEL Wednesda&eiimg Privat Studio Phono B4S19- will save 30 percent of the horse power required for the present type or car. Remodeling Cars. From these results, Tietjens con cludes that streamlining will be worthwhile for medium and high speed, light interurban cars and for heavy high speed trains. From this entire program of activity, it is expected that new styles in high speed cars and trains revolutionary In character and appearance as well as notable for their efficiency and economy of operation, will be developed. This is the age of speed and the tests of Dr. Titjena in the com pany's laboratories open up a new field of thought on the possibilities of operating trains and cars fast er than at present without In creased energy or fuel require ment.
