Authors Abstract
Content
IN this Horning Memorial Lecture, Dr. Barnard shows that gasoline has played a major role in the development of the automobile from a noisy, odorous, temperamental vehicle to the dependable, highly engineered mechanism of today. (Dr. Barnard received the Horning Memorial Medal for 1949.)
He goes on to show how the development of the gasoline itself-by means of cracking processes, improvements in octane number and the like - contributed to the overall success of the gasoline automobile.
