Priestley Speaker
Talks on Fuels
And Lubricants •
In the third lecture of the 24th
annual Priestley series, given
Wednesday night, Dr. William J.
Sweeney, vice-president of the
Standard Oil Development com
pany, spoke on fuels and lubri
cants. A movie by the Ethyl cor
poration on the development of
anti-knock fuels was also shown
at the end of the lecture.
The general theme of the lec
tures, sponsored by Phi Lambda
Upsilon, was “Petroleum and its
Products.”
Dr. Sweeney pointed up the.
tremendous increases in fuel and
lubrication requirements due to
the corresponding increases in
motor yehicles. In 1900 there were
approximately 8000 motor vehicles
as compared to today’s 43,000*000.
Dr. Sweeney explained that in
the past 50 years the increase in
amount and efficiency of machines
using gas and oil is responsible
for the expansion in both the
quanity and quality of petroleum
products.
By the use of slides, Dr.
Sweeney explained the compres
sion ratio, which is the ratio of
the volume of a cylinder at the
bottom of the stroke to the vol
ume at the top of the stroke. The
higher the compression ratio, the
more efficient is the engine. The
early cars had a compression ratio
of about three and one-half to
one; while the average car today
has a ratio of about 6.9 to one.

Today . . .
The Nittany Lion Roars
FOR the chapel choir and
Mrs. Willa Taylor, who directed
them in their Spring concert,
"Elijah," which was presented
in Schwab Auditorium last
night.
Through the hard-working
efforts of the 117-voice choir,
Mrs. Taylor, and George Ceiga,
who accompanied them on the
organ, a fine program was pre
sented to the public. It was
sweet music to the lion's tawny
ears, and he gives a compli
mentary , roar, loud and long,
but not nearly so musical as the
choir voices.
