"The effects will depend in no small part on our ability to maintain a high level of income and employment in the postwar period," he observed.

...Blandy was quietly preparing to supply them. The equipment available ranges from 5-in. guns down through 1.1-in. pom-poms and 20-mm. Oerlikons. Fitting out ships a few at a time, the Navy expects to have over 1,000 armed within four or five months.

Today octane rating may depend on the presence of any or all of these substances, and there can be several formulas for gasoline of any given rating. Power output increases much faster than octane rating (see graph). So the octane limit seems to be 129, where power theoretically becomes infinite...
