ps NA DF et LER - Develops Propane Engine Continued covers up the fuel port. The engine runs in the usual man- ner, and the piston does all the timing of the admittance of "the fuel. Because propane combines readily with oxygen gas in the air, the products of combustion are very low in pollutants as compared with automized gasoline 'and air mixture, ¢ _ Mr. Lindsay moved to Prince Albert in 1969 and staxted testing engines and has been showing them to any- one that was interested for quite a number of years. This led up to having a patept & issued to him in 1966. Mr. John Greenwood, of Cedar Creek has shown more interest in what I am doing than any- one else, he said. Mr. Green- wood is retired now, but while working for G.M. in 1967, he arranged for me to go to 8 Detroit to show my engine. At Detroit we were admitted to the Technical Centre, where "we were allowed to show the operation of my engine. The G.M. people were really amaz- ed at the simplicity of my & idea, but after a long inter- view they told me they would rather work on their own ideas, and nothing ever be- came of it. Aside from the better combustion obtained using propane, thus reducing the exhaust of air-polluting fumes, Mr. Lindsay said the engine also registers a higher power output and lower engine-wear factor than conventional gas powered engines. "On a _three-cylinder two- cycle engine I have converted from gasoliug to propane, I have found a surprising in- créase in power," said Mr. Lindsay. inrag Hin He hesitated however, to state any exact figures for 4 increased power until he has received more extensive test results from his son, an engine- ering physicist in. California. Mr. Lindsay said the lower wear factor comes from the service for your car. | CHEVROLET .| Wednesday, March 4 | Ye ae Pledge TO WELL TRAINED AND EFFICIENT SERVICE PERSONNEL .......cccconeuuns » | specialist.

He also points out that by doing away with a carb- uretor and fuel pump, he has reduced the number of mov- ing parts in his converted gas- oliné engine to seven from 87. "Maintenance of such an engine would thus be drastical- ly cut compared ,to normal engines," he said. "I foresee unlimited poss- ibilities for this engine from all points of view." Mr. Lindsay does not con- sider himself an inventor. He says, 'men like Goodyear who developed vulcanizing of tires, discovered by putting sulphur with rubber he could vulcan- ize the rubber and then we got all kinds of rubber pro- ducts, especially the rubber Broomball On Sunday, March 8th,Cy Wilson's team played Beaver- 'ton at Port Perry in a fast and exciting game.

He was considered an inventor because no one had done that before. The Wright Bros. were another one, they invented the air- plane. We can call them in- ventions in those days be- cause there was very little known, and little knowledge compared with the amount werhave today. - Today with, all of the knowledge available, all that you can do is add to that knowledge a little, and I feel that I have developed some- thing from something that is already in use. Mr. Lindsay' said, "from a personal view, I do not want to be classed as a crazy in- ventor. I would rather say "The most difficult thing to do is to get people to change their minds and to accept new ideas," Mr. Lind- say said. "It takes a long time, to get any idea accepted, and my problem is to live long enough, stay healthy, enjoy life and wait for the right time." --BANTAM Peel's Chicks downed Cart- wright 5--3.
