W. Bur-stall, Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Birming-ham University. At this university the study of the in-ternal combustion engine is being attempted on linessomewhat different from those which have been invogue previously. Professor Burstall wants to obtain re-sults as to the behavior of internal combustion engineswhich shall be independent of any particular type ofengine or kind of fuel. For this purpose he has con-structed an engine in what he terms a theoretic form toshow all the changes of temperature which take place inthe working A nmall motorcycle used in Switzerland.

The relation of working hours to unitproduction costs was brought out in a letter from an automotive manu-facturer, which is quoted and discussed here by Mr. Tipper. By Harry Tipper FROM one of the subscribers of Automotive In-DUSTRIES I have received a letter concerning therelation between hours, production efficiency andfatigue which is of unusual interest, and for this reasonI am quoting liberally from the letter as follows: In one of the plants employing approximately 3000,working hours were reduced from ten to nine, piecework prices remaining the same per piece, under thenew schedule as obtained before and hourly rates in-creased the nec
