Summary:

The author outlines in a general way the relation of car performance to modern engine development. He considers particularly weight reduction and torque performance of high-speed engines, giving the undesirable characteristics attending the increased torque range gained by higher speed.He next discusses the relation of torque to total car weight, to acceleration and to hill-climbing ability and suggests a method of determining the value of a car in terms of its performance ability.The author holds incorrect those systems in which the amount of lubrication is in proportion to speed only; and in which oil for crankshaft and crankpin bearings must cool as well as lubricate them. He shows a system designed to solve these oiling problems.Static, running and distortion balance of a rotating mass are defined by the author, who shows how they apply to a large number of types of crankshafts. The paper not only deals with the counterbalancing problem as regards the crankshaft itself, but also with the centrifugal effects of the connecting-rod and piston parts. In conclusion a discussion is given of what are correct counterbalancing masses for service conditions
