Kettering and Midgley were the first to identify it as a prime antiknock agent, though the compound had been known since 1852. They estimated that only a veiy small amount of TEL—a few parts per thousand— would result in a 25 percent increase in horsepower as well as fuel efficiency. 

Thomas Midgley, working with a group of researchers under Charles F. Kettering, discovered a fuel-additive, tetraethyl lead that enhanced the knock resistance of existing fuels. By the time this additive entered commercial use in 1923, the average compression ratio of new U.S. cars had advanced to 4.3.

Leaded Gasoline, Safe Refrigeration, and Thomas Midgley, Jr. 

At the age of 51, this convivial, whimsical man who liberated us from so many age-old burdens was paralyzed by polio. To maintain some small degree of independence, Midgley designed a system of ropes and pulleys to lift himself out of bed and into his wheelchair. Late one night in 1944, he strangled on the ropes. 

For the next thirty years, Thomas Midgley was revered as a scientist who had made our lives healthier and happier. Only in the closing decades of the twentieth century could other scientists detect the far-reaching damage caused by our reliance on his leaded gasoline and chlorofluorocarbon refrigerants. Yet such was his creativity that many years ago he and his associates also invented some of today s substitutes for their destructive CFCs. 

Midgley was born on May 18, 1889, into a family of successful inventors. His father held patents for automobile wheels, and his father-in-law patented inserted-tooth saws. According to a Midgley tradition, an English ancestor worked for James Watt, inventor of the steam engine. Young...
