Observing that the conversion should be considered as an experi- ment carried out with the object of ascertaining what economy might be effected, he proceeded: "The reason that my company de cided to make this experiment was not only and not primarily its interest in the development and progress of engineering in general; the decision to make the experiment originated in the somewhat uncomfortable feeling. of uncertainty, with regard to the future price of Diesel oil.
