to go a little laster. f had just come 6ut of the Air ForcJwhere f was
an engine mechani-c so J used one trick that airplanes use to get more pow-

in water injection to help keep it cooI. The leaning process di-d gi-ve ne
more powerr but due tc the 1iquid fuel r,v:lthln the conbustlon chamber the
heat build up wa6 intolerable until the water: injection was i-nstalled. At

The Tucker carburetor shown here j-s basicall-y a system of fuel and air
lilters working together to create a vaporous nixture sufficient to burn
ln:i,hin the cylinders of an internal cornbustion engine.
Because the bottom of thls cafburetor i-s fj-lled entirely with the main
napori-zing filtere a float chamber must be mounted seperately
-of and at such
a position as to frai-ntain a fuel level below the top the filter. Main
aj-i entry into the carburetor J.s through an ordinar! type aj-r filter, and
;lie air then passes downward into and thru. the maj-n vaporlzing filter and
tce liquid tuel where upon it bubbles upward lnto a mixing chamber. The
a-ir passing thru this liquid fuel and filter creates bubbles whi-ch are bro'
..en up by the part of the filter above the liquid level thereby vaporizing
:ne f u e l .
An auxj-liary alr inlet is provided :along with its own air filter and a
eutterfly valve to act as a mixture control, thi.s allows extra air to ent-
er the mixing chamber to keep the original mixtrlre from being too rich. As
:his auxiliary a:ir enters the mixing chamber it is swirled away from the
center by a turbulator to help in the mi-xing process anti to keep it from
--raveling straight do'wn into the engine and creat-lng too lean a mixture.
lhis auxiliary a'lr must be controlled by linkag.e to the the accelerator
redal along with the main butterfly valve control ,
A simple system that works well when fitted to stati-onary er:si-nes where
r.he engine rpm i.s constant. Mixture control by h-nkage can be tri-cky when
engine rpm is constantly changed up and downo Mixture control can be your
biggest problem when building any hi.gh mileage carburetor.
l,lr Tucker makes no: s:peci.fic claims to efficiency, but does clairn thi-s
carburetor will del-iver a completely vaporized or dry gas to the engine
rhich is raixed $rtth sufficient air to conplete the burni-ng process within

The Newbery carburetor i.s not rea11y a carbttretor in the nornal sense
f the worcl. iather, it i-s a series of two heat exchangers that dellver a
aporized fuel to the intake manifold of the engine.
The two heat exchangers are of a type that provlde a large surface of
heated metal (in the form of baffLes) and a rather long path for the fuel
to travel before being nixed with the fresh air. This large heated area &
long path are the means for vaporizing the fuel before it is . mixed with the
air-in ttre intake mani-fold. The fuel enters into the flrst exchanger via
a controlled spray nozzle, this first exchanger vaporizes a large portion
of the fuel which is then passed lnto the second exchanger for further va-
porizing and. expansion to a true dry state.
Exhaust fron the engirie enters the second chamber first so as to produce
a highei temperature to be transfered to the fuel- just befor e being- all - ow ed
to mix w:ith the fresh ai-rr supposedly to bring the-aLready vaporized fuel
to 6. truely dry state.
As no means for mixture control i-s provj-ded f presume that the fuel is
controlled by the spray nozzJ-e and the choke valve being interconnected to
the throttle- so as irot- to al1ow too much air for too l-ean a mixture. The
inventor provid.es no system for startingr so a primer of some kind would
have to be affixed.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
I madea test today of the pogue Carburetor installedon a Ford eight"cylindercoupe.The speedometershowedthat this car had alreadyrun over
miles.
I drove the car 26.2 miles on one pint of gasoline.The temperaturewas averagingaround zero with'a strong north wind blowing. I drove south
fifteen miles and back on the sameroad, and the distance .ho*n by the speedomelerreadingswas 26.2 miles when the gasolinewai cxhausredand
".
car stopped.
The performance of the car was t0090 in very way. t tested fcir acceleration,get-awayfrom a standingstart, and at all speeds,and it performed
to, if not better,than any car with a standardcarburetor.
, At very slow speeds,under ten miles an hour, it was much smoother in.operation than a standardcar. tn facti below fivc miles.anhour it pulled up
slight gradewithour laboring of any kind. I steppedon thc acceleratorwhcn the spcedometerwas below five mitesan hour and the car got anay wilhout

Mr. Purdy and I appreciatevery much your interestin arrangingtesr for us with Mr. Pogue.
Ar lhe time the test was madewe covered25.7 mileson one pint of gasoline.
Beforesrailing the test, the car wasrun until the rnotor stalledfor want of fucl. The pint of gaswasthcn conncctcd;the main supply tahk waslutned

We are at a lossto understandthe reasonfor sirchmarkcd Gconomy.However, cvery considerationwas shown in carrying out tcst and acqpainting

The upperend of the vapor passages (15)communicateswith openings(19)adjacentthe upperend of the downdraft tube
(20)leadingto the intake manifold of the engine.Valves(21)are interposedin the openings(19)so that the passages
of the

controlled as hereinafter described.
Suitable meansare provided for causingthe vapors to be maintained in the chamber (2) under a pressuregreater than
atmospheric,so that when the valves(21) are openedthe vaporswill be forced into the air tube (20) independentlyof the
suctionof the engine.Suchmeansmay comprisean air pump for forcing the atmosphericair through the pipe (4) into the
chamber(l) beneaththe falsebottom (3), but I prefermerelyto providethe pipe (4) with a funnel shapedinlet end {221and
locatedjust behindthe usualfan (23)equippedon most all automobiles.That will causethe air to passthroughthe pipe (4)
with sufficientforce to maintainthe desiredpressurein the chamber(2) and the air beingdrawn through the radiator by the

carburetorsused for internai combustionengines.The upper end of the air tube (20) extendsabove the chamber(2) a
distancesufficient to receivean air filter and/or silencer,if desired.
A low speedor idling jet (25) has its upper end communicationwith the passagethrough rhe air tube (20) adjacentthe
throttling valve (24) and its lower end extendinginto the liquid fuel in the bottom of the chamber(l). :
The low speedjet will supply fuel to the enginewhen the valvesare in a position such as to closethe passages(lg);
throughthe idling jet (25)is so smallthat undernormal operationsthe suctionthereonis not sufficient
however,the passage
to lift the liquid fuel from the bottom of the chamber(l).
To preventthe enginefrom backfiring into the vapor chamber(2) the endsof the passages(19) are coveredwith a fine
mesh screen(26) which operateson the principal of a minerslamp, and will preventthe vapors in the chamber(2) from
explodingin the eventof a backfire,but will not interferesubstantiallywith the passage of the vaporsfrom the chamber(2)
into the air tube (20) when the valves(21) are in the open position.The air tube (20) preferablyis in the form of a venturi
with the greatestrestrictionbeingat that point wherethe openings(19)are located,so that whenthe valves(21)are opened
therewill be a pulling force on the vaporsbecauseof the increasedvelocityof the air at the restrictedportion of the air tube
(20) oppositethe openings(19), as well as an expellingforce on them due to the pressurein the chamber(2).
As shownin fig. 3, the operatingmechanismfor the valves(19)is so connectedthe operatingmechanismfor the throttte
valve (241that they are openedand closedsimultaneouslywith the openingand closingof the throttle valve, so that the
amount of vapor suppliedto the enginewill at all timesbe in proportion to the demandsplacedon the engine.To that end,
each valve (19) has an extention or operating stem (27) protruding through one of the side walls of the vapor heating and
expandingchamber(2). Sealsor packingglands(28) of the ordinary constructionsurroundthe stems(27) wherethey pass
through the chamberwall to preventleakageof vaporsat thosepoints.
Operatingarms (29) are rigidly securedto the outer endsof the stems(27'1andextendtowardseachother, the arms are
pivotally and adjustablyconnectedto a pair of links (30)which at their lower endsare pivotally connectedto an operating
link (31) which in turn is pivotally connectedto an arm (32) rigidly securedon an outer extension(33) of th' sternof the
throttle valve (24). The extension(33) also has rigidly securedthereto an arm (34) to which is connectedan operating link
(35) leading from the meansfor acceleratingthe engine.
The meansfor adjustably connectingthe upper endsof the links (30) to the valve stems(2?) of the valves(19) so that the
amount of vapors deliveredfrom the chamber(2) may be regulatedto causethe most efficient operation of the particular
engineto which the carburetor is attached,compriseangular slides(36) to which the upper ends fo the links (30) are fasten-
ed, and which are slidablybut not-rotatablymountedin guideways(37)in the arms (29).The slides(36)havethreadedbores

which screws(38)pass.The screwsare rotatablymountedin the arms(29), but are
,lhroTeh held againstlongitudinatmove-
ment so that when they are rotatedthe slides(36) will be causedto move along the guideways
(37) and changethe relative
position of the links (30) to the valve stems(27) so that a greateror less
movement,ahd consequentlya greateror lesser
openingof the ports (19) wiil take placewhen the throttle valve(24) is operated.
For safetyand for most efficientoperationof the engine,the vaporsin the chamber(2)
shouldnot be heatedor expanded
beyonda predetermined amount and in order to control the extentto which the vaporsare heatedsrru and !vrrJ!\iu
consequentlythe ex-
lent 10 which they are expanded,a valve(39) is locatedin the exhaustpassage(16)adjacentthe inlet (17). The vatve(39) is

that
its usefulness is not restrictedto that particulartypeof carburetor,but couldbe madeadaptable
to the side-draftor eventhe
up'draft type of carburetorif desired,and that the mannerin which the mjxture
of atmosphericair and dry vaporsis

The term "dry vapor" is usedhereinto definethe physicalconditionof the liquid

a vapor.
From the foregoingdescription, it will be seenthat the presentinventionprovidesa carburerorin which the breaking

Last Januray ( 1981) talked to a Mrs Albert pogue in Wtnnepegr
_Canqdaby teiephone. ""
She is the wife of Albert Pogu6, Char3-esP6gilers
brother and she confirmed ihat Charles Pogue was at that tLme still
alive ai the age of 81 and thirt he was living ln a rest home there Ln
Winnepeg. She would not tel-l- us which one and she wouLd not deny nor
conflrn any firrther questions. We got the i.mpressi.on that ALbert was
there w'ith her as she kept asking soneone else in the room what she
Should say to our questions, but she said he was not at home. She also
said ihat Charles would not ialk to anyone nor would he arrswer any of
his nall and kept refusing to help in any way ln our endeavor to rnake
contact wlth him. Since they have been hamassed and called by phone
more than they would l-i-ke over the past 45 or ao yearsr vre wiLl- keep
their phone number our secret and lei ihem have some peace.
The Latest world. mil-eage record has been upped to nore than 20OO mpg
in Sydney Australia at the Warvrick Farrn motor racing track. A three-
w hee le r p o w e r e d by a l O cc (0 .6 1 cubic lnch) engine- of the m odel- air pla ne
variaty drove the vehicle at an average of 15 miles per hour around the
track and obta:i-neC a fantastic 21236 :rr.pg during a fu1l throttle rurlr
The second place vehlcl-e used the spri-nt exd coast rnethod or fulL power
for short birsts and then coasting wittr ttre engine off untilI almost
conlng to a stop whj.le the first place w:ith the fantastic mileage used
f,ull throttle wide open for the entire run, The prevlous 1980 record
was 1 1368 npg set in Great Brltain beating out the then previ'ous 1973

For those of _youwho desire ful-l and complete patent drawings for
any of these carburetorsr order them fron the Ii.S] PATBI\ITOFTIdE
WASHINGTONT_ DC 20231 not from us, They cost 5Oc each and you must -
l-et
them know the patent nurnber, the inventors name and the islue d.ate.
T_n"y are sl-ow like all other government agencyr s so be prepared. to be
about 90 days i-n getting your order from them.
BRA! DENNISa combustion englneer in St Paul, MN has been quoted.
as saylng: Carburetion systems being installed on new ca.rs toddy are no
nor e e f fi c 1 e n t t ha n th e y w ere i n 1920. The best use for a fixed- ventur j-
styl-e c^arbureior should be aF_? 1"rg9 paperweight. Todays iiquid
expel fuel particles in the 400 to )00 mlcron sj-ze which travel at"url" about
1, 5 0 f e e t p e r s e c o n C fro m th e carbu r eior to the com bustion cham ber in
l ess t h an . 0 7 s e con d s an d eve n th e n only spend about .OZ5 second.sin the
com b u s t i o n p h a s e .O n thi s ba si s, i t is lm posslble to tr 4r n the fuel- j- nto a
vaporr mlx it w:ith the air and oxldize or burn it to froduce power.
.-,. Pogue and others have been rlght all al-ong, the liqui-d fuel must be
vaporlzed fuliy before belng mixed with ihe incon-ing alr or most of the
fuel goes right out the exhaust nanifold in the form of HC or as most
us know i.t 'ljnburneci l{ydrocrbons (Carbon Monoxide, Etc). ff almost all
of t h e f u e l g o i n g i n to th e cyri nd e rs wer e io bur n, ther e would be no
need for the catalytic converter. Cars uslng propane and bu',ane fuel- &
not fltted wlth a carburetor for l-io-uid :ueis- are exempt from federal
l?wg 're q u i r i n g _ ca ta i yl r-q co n ve rter s as the fuel- is in a vapor to star t
wlih and the unburned hydrocarbons are so minimul that ihe ?ehicles d-o
meet federal s'band.a-rdseven ',viihout ihe catal-ytic converter.
