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." f Y ' ,. t CLAS S1FiED DIRECTORY I 1' Play-Reading Section of the Faculty Women's Club meets at 2:15, in the Grand Rapids Room of the Michigan League.
