GREAT ADVANCE
IN MARINE PROPULSION NEW PROPELLER & ENGINE. IN MASS PRODUCTION IN U.S.A. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) WASHINGTON, July 7.

This new power plant is hailed as a tremendous step forward in the campaign against submarines.

Because the propeller is reversible the engine requires no reversing, thus obviating reverse gears.
