By CHARLES H. BROWNSON
"Public opinion and advertising to
the contrary, there are no new de-
velopments of any great significancef
on the streamlining of the bodies of
the automobiles now on exhibition in
the New York Show," commented
Prof. Felix W. Pawlowski, Guggen-
heim Professor of Aeronautical En-I
gineering and prominent American I
authority on aerodynamics in an ex-j
clusive Daily interview last night.
"These cars are merely 'slight var-
iations of the trend started by Chry-
sler, Reo, and almost simultaneously
adopted 'by almost all other manu-
facturers in 1930," he pointed out. In
Professor Pawlowski's paper on "Aer-
odynamic Design in the Automobile,"
published in the anniversary number
of the Society of Automotive Engi-
neers Journal for that year, he was
among the very first to lay the
ground-work for the 'rounded corner'
design that predominates in the field
today. After delivering his address
on the subject, Professor Pawlowski
noted laughingly,. many prominent
engineers questioned him thoroughly
on his designs which appeared in a
modified form and without credit in
their models for that year.
In discussing in more detail the
models actually displayed on the floor
of the show which opened Saturday,
Professor Pawlowski noted first their
definite similarity in design. The di-
vided "V" shaped windshield of the
Chrysler and the Studebaker, he sees
as a decided improvement in reduc-
ing air resistance.
Radical Changes Slighted
The biggest field ahead in stream-
lining cars does not lie in the radical
steps taken by publicity-seeking Eur-
opean designers with' products built
in total disregard for the practical
and the comfort of the passenger.
Rather, Professor Pawlowskisees gthe
general body contours remaining
much as they are on the show models
today. The radical changes will be in
the field of fiktures, accesories, and
the streamlining of the hither-to1
neglected bottom of the chassis. s
"Headlights on.all the show models1
are too large," he pointed out. "A.
smaller lens opening-say three in-
ches, with a perfectly torpedo shaped;
body, could furnish the same illumin-
ation without the great wind resist-
ance of these lights which impairs
the progress of the car more than the
average buyer ever realizes."
Horns mounted on the front of the
cars reduce the efficiency factor of
practically every model shown, he
pointed out. "Lamps and accessor-
ies were originally mounted on the
front of the radiator for appearance
only," he stated, "and when the pub-
lic realizes their effect on the cost
of running the car due to their very
significant resistance, they will go."
Streaimling Applied
The rounded corners and curved
tops are practical applications of the
air streamlining theory -which finds
its extremes in the German and Eng-
lish "torpedo and cigar-shaped au-
tomobiles." The new shape of the
fender bottoms introduced by Gra-
ham Paige and copied by virtually
every car in the show today have no
great effect.
. "I cannot see," continued Professor
Pawlowski, "why manufacturers. do
not stress the importance of stream-
lining and work more in that direc-
tion when the public is annually
wasting so much gasoline and losing
valuable mileage from .the life of
their car when they negtect this nim-
portant factor. In a car-l of the size
and weight of a Cadillac V-16 the
road resistance is equal to the air
resistance at 32 miles per hour. When
you reach the top speed of the car
at 90 miles per hour, over 90 per cent
of your power is used in combatting
air resistance. Think of the import-
ance of reducing this resistance to its
minimum practical total by the judi-
cious application of scientific aerody-
namics. The gasoline saving, the
saving on accessories, tires, wearing
Sof the mnotor . , . all would be tre-
mendous. It is the big problemin'
automobile design today, at least
from my view-point.
"I do not advocate the adoption of
the foreign models exhibited in this
country embodying extreme.designing
because they are not adaptable to the
American situation. In the first
place, they are intended for terrific
speed on the specially constructed
super-highways which are common
in Europe but are without a counter-
part in this country today. Secondly,
we engineers must work with a well-
established body length, width, and
the modern trend in height which
demands a top at eye-level when the
car stands beside the curb. Euro-
pean designs with their waste space
in the extremely pointed backs arc
not capable of carrying a full load of
passengers comfortably if built with-
in these dimensions,"
"The car of the future?" Profes-
sor Pawlowski laughed heartily.
"With Technocracy predicting an end
to our present industrial order in 18
months, it seems even prophetic to
discuss the most immediate stream-
lining and the Auto Show changes
in design. I do however see for the
next few years a car with a more
round contour but with body lines
not very much changed from those
in New York today. I see small tor-
pedo head-lights, possibly sunken
into the fender even farther than
the old Pierce Arrow designs which
is still incorporated in their models.
The abolit on of the old wind-shield
visor was a strategic move in the
right direction for it introduced a
large ,factor of resistance. The mo-
tors will be of si all& horse-power
and a greatly increased span of use-
fulness because much of their energy
which has been directed to opposing
air resistance will no longer be
needed for that purpose.
Redesigned Under Chassis
"Cars will be re-designed under-
neath the chassis for greater efli-
ciency and less opposition. The ra-
diator will resemble the divided V-
shaped shell in use today with some
modifications. The car will have a
higher mileage on both gasoline and
tires. The sedan, contrary to popular
opinidn, has better streamlining and
is more efficient as a body type than
the coupe or roadster. I predict that
manufacturers will stress their body
designs as the tremendously impor-
tant economy factors that they really
are and that the public will learn
to look at car body contours as more
than beauty factors."
In pointing out the importance of
aerodynamic principles in automo-
bile design, Professor Pawlowski
pointed to the new Battle Creek
Auto Tram which is a street car op-
erating on a populars 1t&cylinder
motor used in automobiles today and
carrying 40 passengers with luxurious
fittings. Its top speed with the stand-
ard motor is 83 miles an hour while
the automobile, built to accommo-
date as few as two, witfi but a small
fraction of the Auto Tram's weight
achieves a speed of only 90.. The
difference lies in the fact that the
interurban is perfectly streamlined
according to the torpedo principle.
"Of course," pointed out Profes-
sor Pawlowski, scientifically ever
cautious to avoid radical state-
ments, "I recognize that this prin-
ciple can never reach that state in
the automobile." He shrugged his
shoulders, "But it does show an im-
portant trend."
Use Wind.Tunnel on Models
The University has a completely
equippd hexagonal wind tunnel in
which models of automobiles may be
suspended and any existing wind
conditions accurately simulated. At
present the department is using two
miniature Graham Paiges as they
are designed today, to check them
with the more rectangular form of
a few years ago and compare the effi-
ciencies.
"Sometimes the manufacturers
are not so scientific and cannot see
the relation that wind-tunnel tests
with models bear to the finished
product. At present they have a full-
sized Chevrolet in a specially con-
structed wind box both for detailed
studies that check the results with
models which I published two years
ago, and for the General Motors re-
search departments."
Racing car streamlining presents
an entirely different problem a-
cording to the engineer's view-point.
Here alone perfect aerodynamic de-
sign is sought after «t the expense
of comfort and dimensions. Speed is
the only consideration. The "Sun-
beam" of the late Major Seagrave
aid the "Bluebird" of Sir Malcolm
Campbell are two of the outstand-
ing British examples of perfection in
thorough scientific designing. The
recently developed model car of Sir
Campbell's is reported to have in-
corporated in it new princples im the
streamlining of the chassis bottom.
Agrees With Visionaries I
In regard to future car speeds,
Professor Pawlawski is in entire
agreement with statements made by
even the most visionary of Gerinan
designers of the day, Herr Fritz von
Opei. In an iiiteiwiew while in this
country recently, this inventor of the
rocket car and the rocket airplane,
and son of the qerman aibtoi-nobile
tycoon, stated, "For the race track,
the special highway, the fanatic, it
Roosevelt Acts Only As
Citizen In Mooney Case
SACRAMENTO, Cal., Jan. 9.-(:)-
Gov. James Rolph, Jr., today received
from Franklin D. Roosevelt, Presi-
dent-elect, a letter transmitting a
communication that Mrs. M a r y
Mooney gave to him in behalf of her
son, Tom Mooney, serving a life sent-
ence for the 1916 Preparedness Day
bombing at San Francisco.
The President-elect said he had ex-
plained to Mrs. Mooney that he could
send her letter to Gov. Rolph only
in the capacity as a private citizen.
is difficult to predict the terrific
speeds which engineering and aero-
dynamics can produce in the next
decade . . . but the average indi-
vidual no municipal pavemnts will
be content with speeds not exceed-
ing 90 miles per hour."
Says Professor Pawlowski, "There
is no car on the American market to-
day that will achieve more than 90
miles an hour without a slight grade
or a breeze to assist it. Dusenberg
needed 216 H. P. to put his car up
to 100 miles over any standard road
conditions. America will be content
with automobiles with the general
speed and the same body contour
that we see at the New York Show,
but a new consideration of the finer
poin l's of practical streamlining will
lead to tremendous economies in
operation costs."
