the almost fabulous triptane which
has four times the horsepower of 100-

nesday by Dr Charles F. Kettering,
of General Motors
Censorship about a year ago per-
mitted announcement of triptane's ex-
istence Wednesday Doctor Kettering
reported General Motors ha* m opera-
tion of medium -stee plant producing
5 to 10 barrel* of the precious stuff a
day for military, and official aviation
experiment*
**A considerable number of engine
testa." Doctor Kettering said dem-
onstrated remarkable gains With
triptane containing added tetra ethyl
lead they have amounted to as much
a* four times the power and to a*
much as 25 percent gain in fuel econ-
omy over 100-octane gasoline
A twelve-cylinder Allison airplane
engine ha* been operated on triptane
blends at an output of well over 2,500
