UNDER SAIL ... Under full sail, a Columbia 50 racing yacht shows its speed on the water. Yachts such as this one, built by new massproduction methods at Relatively low cost, are allowing weekend sailors to compete in a sport which was once dominated by the very rich. The Columbia 50, built entirely of fiberglass reinforced plastic, has won a slew of races in the past two years. The electric car has switched cm a national current of interest. Battery - powered vehicles, which disappeared soon alter horses gave way to the gasoline combustion engine, are being developed again. And they, are being hailed as a potential if only partial, solution to the growing menace of air pollution. In Washington, Rep. Richard Ottinger (D - N.Y.) has introduced a bill calling for a government program to develop an electric car as an alternative to the standard gasoline engine ate^: tomobile of today. ^ During a speech in the Houstip Ottinger said electric cawfc:^ would reduce urban air polltK j tion by two-thirds. . 3sj Ottinger believes that a m<j£> dern, attractive, electric hide, which can match ' «gp performance standards of t^i day, is not a future prosp«fl|J but a present reality. .Offf tinger's vehicle was develop*^] ed by the Yardney Etecfcrtfe^ corp., New York, using itasf||f,i ver-zinc batteries and a Re®* < nault Dauphine body. ' Major car manufacturers al*; i so are in the race to develop© ! a similar car with the aanHi! type of batteries, far powerful and compact than standard acid variety. Four such batteries, to a 7.2 horse - power eie$gv trie motor, were used in Ot-^ tinger's car. Mounted in ttte^ rear, the engine's drive shaft turns the rear wheels. The car has no transmission, oil, cool-, ing system, and, with so ftettr* parts, there's little chance of over heating, freezing or stalling according to reports. The battery manufacturer expects to produce car batteries by next year that have a range of 200 miles at a top speed of 75 miles per hour before recharging is necessary. Batteries can be recharged overnighjt, simply by plugging them into any electrical outlet. The cost of such a car? While it would be economical to rt^ its initial cost wouI3 be com^ parable to today's automobiles mainly because of the $700 to $900 tab for the batteries, which need to be replaced everythree years. Presently, Ford is experimenting with an electric car efmty? ped with sodium-sulphide battery, and others are trying UT thium, nickel-zinc and zincair batteries. , , »... © Stop in and see our fine selection X Order C H A R G E George Washington at Yorktown?
