ROTARY CLUB ADDRESS
CX-
The function of petrol vapour in relation to the motor car was plained to Hongkong Rotarians in a broadcast talk yesterday by Mr. G. White B.Sc., Principal of Hongkong Trade and Technical Schools. Major R. D. Walker Ac., took lils scat as President for the first time.
The speaker salt, in part: It might be of interest to
briefly the to survey points in design which have raised the petrol engine to its present pre- eminence as the motive power for private road vehicles and have, at the same time, reduced manufactur- ing costs to a minimum. In Hong- kong our mileage is low and long be- our clinssis shows signs of be- Ing worn out, climate has reduced our bodies to a very bad condition.
For this reason I have confined my remarks in general to the moderate priced chassis which constitute the bulk of cars in the Colony. In con- sidering these developments we must bear in mind that the object of motor car company is to sell cars.
The designer of our engines of to- day has the following main objects in view: He has to get improved power output from engines of a given size; he must wherever possible, cheapen production; he must be or- thodox with his designs.

FOR KP.M. SERVICE
ANOTHER NEW VESSEL BEING
BUILT IN HOLLAND
The Nederland Line Royal Dutch Mail have ordered from the Nether- Janua lands Shipbuilding Company in Amsterdam another new vessel which
is expected to take its place on the Amsterdam-Batavia service in Jan- uary 1930. The new liner will be of 20,000 tons and her triple screws will give a speed of 21 knots, the engines developing no less than 27,000 horse- power.

Easy, you may say, "double the compression ratio and thus increase your power free." Unfortunately another factor enters at this stage. If we over compress the mixture we get detona- tion, of which the outward and visible sign is the pinking with which we in Hongkong are only too well acquainted.

Cost of production is a duminant feature of

This fact is one reason for the bat-

Power being so much dependent on compression ratio, designers demand-tery of three carburettors which we ed better and better fuels, and the petrol companies responded nobly. It is not too much to say that the present high efficiency of the petrol engine
is mainly due to the improv- ed grades in England.
Accepting the definition that "high grade" fuel is one which will not "pink" easily, and a "low grade" one the reverse, how does this ques- tion of pinking affect the designer? He wishes to get the maximum horse-power out of his engine, which means that he must use the highest compression ratio which his fuel, will

The most important points of weat in a modern engine are the cylinder block, the blg ends, the crankshaft, and the crankshaft bearings.
As regards cylinder, wear this was at its worst about six years ago, when makers started casting crank- case and cylinder block in one piece. Improved
cylinder irons, better methods of machining,
and in some cases the atting of specially hard cylinder liners even in new popular models, has put back the day when reboring is required to such an ex- tent that we in Hongkong can well

To obtain the advantage of a high grade fuel, a high compression must be used. Good modern British prac- tice is to use a compression ratio of 8%, but such, an engine will not run emciently on n low grade fuel unless using low compression pistons-an ignore the compression ratio is reduced by expensive alteration.
