AGENTA. V. ANDERSON Motor rjgineer 487 Selwyn Street CHRISTCHURCH A 5677 Driving a Chrysler Six touring car—strictly stock in every detail except that -a gear ratio of 3.75 to 1 had been substituted for the standard 4.6 to I—RALPH de PALM A, the famous racing driver, made 1000 miles in 786 minutes 6/15 seconds elapsed time on the Culver City track near Los Angeles on sth January last—an average of 76.32 miles an hour. This is the fastest speed average ever made by a passenger automobile in such a distance run. NOT A SINGLE STOP WAS MADE FOR MECHANICAL ADJUSTMENT or Tyre Changes, and NOT A DROP OF WATER WAS ADDED TO THE RADIATOR. Chrysler, in this latest run, is faster by 1 hour 2 minutes and 25 3/5 seconds than the fastest time ever made in a similar event. The run was clocked and the time certified by the American Automobile Association, and Harry Miller, the famous engine builder, checked and certified that the car was stock in every respect except gear ratio. It is one thing to show a burst of speed for a mile or so. It is quite another to hold that speed for 1000 miles. The first takes power alo'ne —the second, power plus unprecedented endurance. Endurance in high speed work was the real test put up to the car. The combination of 1000 miles at an average speed, including stops for benzine and oil, of 76.32 miles an hour, is a speed that tells a story of amazing endurance. A car with-destructive vibration could not stand 1000 miles at 76 miles or even 56 miles an hour. An engine with anything but a perfect oiling system would be wrecked long before it travelled 1000 miles with the throttle wide open. A car with anything but a perfect cooling system could not possibly keep an engine cool at its topmost effort for more than 13 hours. N.Z.
