Pierre S. du Pont, President of the General Motors Corporation, has issued a statement in connection with the new air-cooled types of motors which the corporation is developing. Mr. du Pont says that the corporation has been experimenting for several years with air-cooled types of motors, as well as developing other types of motors and improvements incident to automotive practice.

“This work is conducted by a subsidiary of the corporation known, as General Motors Research Corporation, located at Dayton, Ohio, under the direction of C. F. Kettering,” says Mr. du Pont. “The development of air-cooled motors has reached a point where experimental models have been completed and exhaustive studies and tests are now being conducted.

“As to when production will commence, what manufacturing divisions of the corporation will develop and sell these models, all this of necessity must be held in abeyance until the experimental development work is completed and the corporation is assured that these new products are everything that might be desired.”
