DASH OF WATER. TO SPEED UP PLANES. KICKS UP THE PACE. San Francisco, Dec. 5. One of the latest American military secrets, how for some months water has been used by Army and Navy lighter planes to drive their engines faster, was explained in New York with Army and Navy approval. The water is forced directly into the engine cylinders along with the gasoline. This gives added, instantaneous bursts of power. The eW*ra speed is considerable, but the figure remains a secret. The pilot, when he wants to jump his top speed, turns on the water by throwing a dashboard switch. The acceleration is enough to enable a pilot to grab a position against an adversary or to take successful evasive action. The effectiveness has been proven in combat. The explanation of water as engine fuel was made public in a statement by the Pratt and Whitney aircraft division of the United Aircraft Corporation. The water, vaporises to steam as it enters the engine cylinders. Three main advantages follow. First, the water vapour cools the cylinder more than otherwise possible. Second, detonation is reduced; detonation is teorapid explosion, familiar as an engine knock, which loses power because the explosion goes faster than the piston can take up the push. Third, the water vapour produces more power because it permits the use of a leaner mixture of gasoline from the carburettor. Since July 8 the use of water fuel has spread through the Army P 47 Thunderbolts and certain Navy fighters powered with Pratt and Whitney 2000 h.p. double Wasp engines.

CHOICE OF INVESTMENTS. Addressing shareholders of Perpetual Executors and Trustees’ Association of Aust., Dtd., at the annual meeting in Melbourne, Sir Harry Lawson, chairman, eaid it did not seem that the choice of investments open to trustees was likely to be as wide as in pre-war days. Those making wills and those advising them might consider the desirability of empowering trustees to retain and, in suitable casee, to acquire as an investment shares in well-eetab- , liehed undertakings. Thus some greater return might be got for beneficiaries than from the ■( present permitted investments, which in prac--1 tice resolved themeelves almost exclusively i into Government and eemi-Government loans. I The attractiveness of the shares was somewhat overshadowed at present by wartime control, which forced trustees to sell them, when they had to sell, at low prices. This would 1 not, he hoped, be a permanent feature. A further relaxing of these particular controls • would be much appreciated. ’ BROADCASTING. DAVENTRY NEWS BROADCAST BY ALL YA STATIONS.
