Ordnance Laboratory
Makes Palm-Size Motor
A motor, small enough to fit the
palm of your hand but capable of
developing. one horsepower, has
been built and tested by the Ord
nance Research Latoratorv.
The motor. which is operated
with compressed air, was de
veloped by J. Havthorne, of the
Technical Experimental Estab
lishment. Greenock. Renfrewshire,
Scotland. A model was built
which weighed eight pounds and
delivered one - half horsepower
when operated at an air pressure
of 350 pounds per square inch.
Modifications were made in the
design, and drawings for the im
proved model were sent to the
Ordnance Research Laboratory at
the College. The Laboratory need
ed a means of applying power
where space restrictions were
very stringent and where much
additional weight could not be
allowed.
The motor, built from these
drawings, weighs only one pound
and six ounces. and delivers one
horsepower when operated on
compressed air at 300 pounds per
square inch, It runs at a speed of
4000 revolutions a minute and,
