Betty Wells Roberts, who represented the University on Fred Alst

broadcast from New York, made another appearance Wednesday night.
She sang for the soldiers of Fort

Betty Wells, who described her
trip to New York as "exciting and

On Surfaces

Inhibitor Chemicals
By ROBERT BORDEN
A sample of the work now being
done at the Wenner-Gre- n
testing
laboratory on Rose street across
from the men's dormitories is the
experiments on airplane engine oils.
Laboratory workers under the direction of Prof. A. J. Meyer, na- -t
ion a 11 known authority on internal
combustion engines, are trying to
learn the effect of inhibitor chemicals mixed with the regular aviation grades of oil.
One type of inhibitor chemical,
for example, has been found to
eliminate the- formation of carbon
on piston and cylinder surfaces.
$80,000 DONATED
In operation since May, the lab- oratory, built at a cost of $80,000
which was donated by a Swiss philanthropist named Wenner-Grehas tested nine airplane motors.
When the assembled motor is first
sent to the laboratory it is torn
down, cleaned, checked and each
part weighed. After being reassembled, the motor is set up with a
propellor in a room at one end of
the building. There is also a wind
tunnel for other experiments.
run for 50 hours,
The motor
then taken back to the disassembling room. As each part is removed, it is placed in a special
rack and later weighed. For example,
a carbon covered cylinder is weighed
after the test, the carbon Is scraped
off. and the cylinder reweighed.
This is just one of the checks to
find out how efficient the, new oil
is. Four consecutive tests are made
for each different chemical added
to the oil.
NEW TVPE MOTOR
Other tests in operation are on a
new
motor. For experimental purposes the motor is of
small design, and when perfected
I will be constructed on a larger scale.
The motor is placed on a long cowl,
at the end of which is a large box
where a disc that looks like an old
time speedometer tells the temperature around the motor. In the corridor a man sits looking at dials in
front of him and making notations,
This particular experiment is an al
titude test; however, there are many
different kinds of tests to check the
motor.
During the tests, flaws are found
in many motor parts. Draftsmen,
who have a special room in the
laboratory, design new parts which
are sent to a manufacturing plant

Although she diJ a lot of sightseeing, including a visit to Central
Park and Picadilly bar, Betty Wells
regrets that she didn't even see the
inside of a store, not even a ten-cestore.
When asked about her hopes for
the future, she stated that she is
interested in rauio as a career but
would probably end up as a school
teacher, since she is majoring in
romance languages and plans to
teach French in some high school

after graduation.
