Fd SLA LR PIE AND ER SS Mr. G. Scott Lindsay with his 2 cycle propane engine. ~* Develops Engines To Run On Propane Very Effective In Control Of Pollution Mr. Scott Lindsay, a 67 year old Prince Albert man, has developed an idea into reality by adapting an internal combustion engine to using propane. Mr. Lindsay "is=a television and radio repair man,' who in his spare time for years has been working on engines an? also holds a Canadian Amateur Radio Operators License, with which he speaks to people the world over. Mr. Lindsay calls his new system the '"'Scott-System of Low Pressure ,Fuel Injection of Internal Combustion Eng- ines'. Referring to tests done recently in the U.S. on similar propane gas engines, Mr. Lind- say said findings indicate the carbon monoxide in exhaust fumes is cut by 90 per cent, while thehydrocarboncontent is cut to 80 parts per million from the 221 parts per million registered with gasoline. Mr. Lindsay said although no such tests have been run on his engine, he has arranged with NDP labor critic Fred Young to have them done at the University of Toronto. "I would venture to say, even before they are done, however, that our engine will prove even more effective in pollution control than any yet tested." Unlike the American pro- pane engine, the . Lindsay engine has discarded the con- ventional carburetor in favor of fuel injection directly into the engine. On a standard gas engine, air is drawn into the cylinder through the carburetor and as it passes over the jets of HOSPITAL REPORT WEEK ENDING MARCH 7th Admissions... . co. 26 Births. 000 oad PR Deaths .........

This action breaks up the liquid gasoline into fine drops of vapour. The problem is to get the spray of fine liquid drops to combine with the twenty percent oxygen in the air. The outside of the spray of gasoline turns to a gas and combines with the oxygen which is itself a gas. The centre of the drops of gas- oline does not always become vapourized, and it is this un- burnt liquid fuel that causes most of the pollution as it comes out of the exhaust pipe. -- Photo Peter Hvidsten Jr. The 'Scott' engine, the intake stroke draws oe air into the cylinder, as the piston moves down in the cylinder: Just before the pist- on reaches the bottom of the intake sfroke the piston un- covers the fuel port, a small hole in the cylinder wall. This allows propane or natural gas at a low pressure to flow into the cylinder and mix with the oxygen in the air. The piston now continues to move down to the bottom of the stroke and as it moves up the cylinder on the compression stroke it Continued on page 13 ACN Y SARS OF GT NEM TY AYE ¢F BEEERSAE A A Volume 105 -- Port Perry, Ont., Thursday, March 12, 1970 -- Number 20 Vote - Port Perry residents will have the opportunity to vote on Wednesday, March 18th, for or against = proposed Licensed Dining Lounges.

The school will be open to the public between the hours of 7:30 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. Hairdressing techniques, typing, sewing and speed read- ing will be demonstrated dur- ing the evening. The main gymnasium will be the site of a display of oil paintings and products of the upholstery class. Shops. in the Technical Department will be open to show the facilities available for use during night classes in future years, if interest is increased in this field. Both automotiveand a small engines course have been operating this year. These two courses have proven to be very success- ful and it is hoped that other shops will be able to be used in years to come. In the art room articles of ceramic that have been moulded, painted and glazed by the students of this class will be on display.

Twenty Three Contractors Present For Sewer Test Hole Digging On Thursday, March 5th, twenty-three contractors were in Port Perry to witness the digging of test holes for the proposed :sewers. Councillor Phil Orde reported between ten and twelve holes ranging from ten to thirty five feet deep were dug in various parts of town.. Previous soil samples had been taken from small holes, but the larger holes were needed to see if the soil would cave-in. These diggings were the first visible - signs of progress since the sewers were proposed. The O.W.R.C. set the date for last Thursday's digging, so all of the interested cont- ractors would be present. The test holes were dug under the supervision of Gerry Mintz, engineer with Canadian Mitchell Associates. By proce' : eding this way it enabled all contractors to see the reaction of the soil without all of them having to dig their own test holes. As yet there have been no prices submitted, but tenders are due to be in by Thursday, March 12, 1970, - & ed © In the above photo are seen three of the twenty-three . contractors present for the digging of test holes. It is hoped that three months after the tenders have been sub- mitted, digging will begin on the sewers. Photo -- J. Jordan
