The announcement th a t th e new product ie on the market has a ttra c te d wide a tte n tio n among m o torists. More than ordinary in te re s t in i t has been aroused among re sid e n ts of th is c ity beoauae many of the m anufacturing d i f f i c u l t i e s in connection w ith i t s pro duction were worked out and solved at the Deepwater Plant. In i t s development and p erfectio n , chemists of the du Pont Company ala o took p a r t . The new produot has been th e su b je o t of study for the past several years by the General Motors Research Corporation at Dayton, Ohio, and was developed as a re su lt of th e ir e ffo rts to find the real reason for the "knooking* which takes p lac e under some c o n d itio n s automol^Lle e n g in es.
