THE WONDERS OF MOTORING

THE HISTORY OF PROGRESS . .A STOCKTAKING OF TO-DAY..-(By H. Massac Buist.) The grand awakening in motor driven vehicles was as early as 1862 when a French' engineer, Lenoir, employed ,an internal combustion engine fed with carburetted air, instead. of gas to drive a car that ran in three hours from Paris to Join-ville-le-Pont. But the relatively great weight of that engine ~and the Small number of piston strokes—about 100 a minute against anything up to 800 r.p.rn. to-day—resulted in very slow road speed and commercial success remained far off. . Petrol spirit nevei worked a road vehicle until the end of 1883, by which time DelamareDebouttevillc had ount what is thought to be the first gas engined tricycle that actually ran on the public roads. , s The “motor” received illuminating coal gas compressed at 1421 b. per square : inch in two metai vessels. Working- with Malandin, the inventors made a carburetter which was first applied to a stationary engine ,and then to one on a petro. driven car, the patent specification being dated February l?.th 1884, which would appear to give their car that priority that is often ascribed to Gottleib Daimler and to Dari Beaz whose petrol cars followed in 1886 and-were equally successful.

In any case, it was in France that the petrol car first went ahead through the enterprise of two men whose names have come down to us us in the form Panhard and Lavassor. At first they used Daimler built engines in chassis they - manufactured in France, which was really the birthplace of the petrol car as we know it to-day though other countries, including Germany have done thqir full part in subsequent evolutionary work; , , Our English Daimler Company was launched to exploit the British rights of 'the Daimler Motoreft Gcsellschafts German patents, which, In the early days were invaluable. They subsequently included the gate system, of change speed control, though Daimler of Coventry ; never used the honeycomb radiator! and other features of Mercedes practice, which were available to them through this arrangement. Then and NOw.

My own recollections oi the “Emancipation o.ay” motor run from London to Brighton are'.of. a Saturday morning when I hastily abandoned work in an office near the Thames Embankment and rushed down to find it crowded witlr on.ookers. It, was difficult to wriggie one’s way to a sight 'of the cars! The drivers, were dressed in every way unsuitable for motoring as we understand it to-day, particularly as their vehicles had no windscreens. In contrast with our problems of standardising cars for service all 'over the world, with the result that a lot of fuel is sited; through overcobling the engine, in those days the difficulty \i’rs to cool; the motors sufficiently. Most were set t.c the back of the chassis, which were hopelessly overloaded and incabalne of any ap/preoiable speed. Indeed, the greater number of those machines fell out before theY quitted the suburbs of London,; many doing so under my own eyes, though I never left town. . The most frequent causes of breakdown were, that when one vehicle jibbed or stopped .perhaps oecause of the melting of the platinum point of the tube ignition, a system which was a source bf revenue that kept many a pioneer motor trader in business during those critical years —the string of cars behind it was hemmed in by the evowd and therefore unable to progress what time their engines continuing tu work, over-heated, soon boiled all , the cooling water, and , promptly seized a big end or other vital part. I have no hesitation in opining that had that demonstration been organised as we should run a motor competition to-day, instead of fewer than one vehicle in four reaching Brighton out, of half-a-hundred starters, more like 50 per cent, would have done so.

Yet who then could Lave foretold the rate of progress in motoring which was, nevertheless*, quite moderate until long after the Soiith African War? During it Motor transport whs tried, none too wholeheartedly as far as the military authorities were coftecerned, and therefore with quite unsatisfactory results. If, however, we take half the period between “Emancipation Day” 1896 and to-day 1926, we find that the rate of growth has been amazing despite the Interval of another war. The figures concerning notable years from 1909 until December last, inclusive, make the point clear. 1

Year. No of cars No. of persons and vehicles per vehicle

Of the 911,000 cars and motor vehicles registered in this country in the last full year for which we have statistics, 1925, 580,000 were cars and 232,000 commercial motor vehicles, the balance of 99,000 being hackney vehicles. In "The Motor Industry of Great

Britain 1926” which the Society of Motor Manufacturers s ui:d Traders has just published it 'is stated that the number of vehicles registered per head of population it- the leading' countries of the world is as follows: Country No. of persons vehicles per vehicle .

gallons of motor spirit of all kinds were consumed in these inlands, including a certain amount' obtained from Benzol (3 per cent.) and Scottish Shale Oil ,1 per cent.). Our . output in motor vehicles in 1925 was 121,000, and of commercial vehicles 32,000, the figures under the latter head being increased greatly this year. The number of these’ employed by the motor industry, as; idistinct from the ancillary industries, in 1925 was approximate!/ ‘250,000; and the average earnings .>£ all classes of skilled and unskilled men in this industry was in that year 78/3d. against 79/5 this yeaiy and 40/81 ■ per week in 1914. The , wages bill paid by the industry has risen from £7,500,000 before the war to £40,1)00,000 a year at present. Utility vehicles cost 2.8 per cent more tnan they did before the Avar. The index price of. prWate cars shoAvs that this* year they cost 7.8 per cent, less than in 1914, the year the war broke, out; yet everybody is ' aware that, as made to-day,• cars are vastly more efficient, last longer, are better designed and better built of better materials, and much more completely equipped, than before the' campaign.
