Steadily
research
in
British
laboratories
is
leading
to
an
event
which
will
revolutionise
aviation
the
production
of
a
successful
"compression-ignition''
engine
running
on
heavy
oil
instead
of
on
volatile
and
inflammable

spirit.
Power
units
of
this
type
possess
great
advantages
In
aircraft
operation,
apart
from
the
vastly
diminished
risk
of
fire.
Thev
consume
less
weight
of
fuel
than
a
petrol
engine
and
are
far
loss
com
plicated.
Further,
the
successful
engine
of
this
type
Is
certain
to
be
more
durable
and
to
require
less
attention
than
even
the
best
gaso
line
units.
The
explosive
mixture
in
the
cylinders
is
fired
simply
by
high
magneto
or
accumulator.
Fuel
CC
onomy
in
any
kind
of
internal
combustion
engine
depends
to
a
large
extent
on
the
pressure
at
which
the
mixture
Is
fired
and
the
"compression-ignition"
unit
U
accordingly
less
voracious
of
furl
than
petrol
motor.
The
result
It
that,
although
the
oil
engine
la
in
evitably
heavier
than
the
petrol-consuming
engine,
It
Is
much
more
economical
on
long
flights.

The
mill
started
operations
on
December

and
was
turning
out
concentrates
befo're
Christmas.
The
ratio
of
concentrates
to

has
not

It
is
expected,
however,
that
the
ratio
wul

than
the
ten

ratio
of
the

50
tons

If

there
would

into
