to drain down them to the pump, perhaps
for a considerable time after ice has
formed there, so that the pipes themselves
also become choked with a plug of ice
where they connect to the pump.
In the morning fresh water is put in and
the starting handle is vigorously turned.
Crack goes the pumpi The same thing can
easily happen even when hot water is put
in. because the plugs of ice in the pipes
take an appreciable time to melt, during
which time the blades or gear wheels in
the pump still remain fast. 1t is as well,
therefore, TO wait for the water to flow
freely from the pump tap before turning
the starting handle. Unfortunately there
is no way of discerning whether a pump is
free when turning the handle, because as
the engine turns stiffly in any case when
cold, and one has so great a leverage
through the starting handle that the pump
spindle may conceivably be badly damaged
without one being aware of anything
wrong. The spring drive is in such cases

1t may seem a comparatively easy matter
to draw off all the water from the cooling
system of a car. but in practice this ideal
is seldom realized, as in some cases one

performances, chief Of which was the mark
made by this same Nazzaro in the Florio
cup race in Italy, in which he averaged
74S miles per hour for AIS miles, which in
cluded stops for tire troubles and the TAX
ing on of oil and gasoline. Nazzaro, how
ever. was favored by a fine course, which
had in 1t only four turns to a circuit, while
the roadbed was hard and smooth and not
overly hiIly.
AS showing the difference in courses, the
Tarsa Florio in Italy, won by Trucco in
an Italian Isotta. produced only S5,5 miles
per hour. This course is 27s miles in length,
made up of three circuits, in each of which
there are 1882 sharp turns, which means
fifteen turns each mile, or one each III
yards. In the French Grand Prix, which
was at AIS miles last year, Leutensehlager,
in a German Mercedes, averaged $50 miles
per hour
Here in this country road racing speed
is much slower. In the first place., we
have no such course as the Florio cupcir-
cult. and again we lack the cars. True.
most of the European racks were at
Savannah last Thanksgiving. but there
they were handicapped by the numerous
turns. Still. Wagner In the Fiat man

Greater speed for a distance has been
made in America. but again 1t was Or

winter resulting in some new records being
established over the sands. But these
tricks were turned by foreign built cars.

Finally, the automobile engineer himself
must be credited with the biggest share

Speed Limit Not Reached

One mile in ISIS sect nds two miles in
5SM seconds! Those are the high water
M Iks In automobile speeding. They rep
resent the greatest flights attained by
the motor car and probably are faster
than made by any other methods of trans
portation or motive power. There have
been rumors of even greater speed reached
by tho locomotive and the electric trolley,
but none OF these latter nave been re-
ported officially as in the case Of thS
automobile.
One mile In :esn means a speed of bet
ter ihnn l25 miles an hour, and two miles
in .5sss means a shade over ls miles an
hour. But even those terrifying marks

the automobile, it is declared; they sim

Both these marks are OF long standing.

one may imagine the dangers incident to
such performances when it is remembered
that Marriott. the following year. nearly
lost his life trying to beat his own record
for a mile.
But the ormond times are exceptionally
fast and far above the ability Of the motor
car on other courses. On an ordinary horse
track. such as is used for meets in this
country, the speed is much slower, the
record for a circular mile being 81. made
at Minneapolis last summer by Ralph de
Palma in an Italian Fiat, a pace which is
only a shade better than seventy miles an
hour. England has bettered this through
having & cement oval. which Is two and
three-quarter miles in circumference and

The making or tires is one of the most
interesting phases Of the automobile in
dustry. The advance made in this ~particu-
lar branch Of what has come to be one OF
the greatest factors in American Industrial
life in truth are amazing. Automobile
tires are made in two ways. or rather, two
distinct ways and a combination of the
two. These two ways are moulded" and
wrapped thread" and all tires may be
divided between these classes with one
exception, which combines what is said
to be the best points of both.
The moulded" tire is built up layer by
layer on an iron core. over It is clampod
An iron mould. 1t then goes to the vulcani-
GERS. Here heat expands the rubber. Great

which forces a perfect union between the
layers of rubber and fabric. which go to
make up the tire. This pressure Is so
tremendous hat a two-inch cube a rubber
enclosed in a cast-iron mould with walls
two inches thick will crack the iron when
subjected TO the heat of the vulcanizer.
The weakness OF the process lies in the
fact that the building up Of the fabric and
rubber pieces is an operation requiring skill
and dexterity. II the strips OF fabric over

three passenger cross-country machine a
close second and the small runabout and
the motor buggies also in demand for the
rural trade.
During the last five years the automo-
bile has undergone precisely the same kind
of development, but at an unprecedented
speed, which every new mechanism is OBJ
liged to pass through. 1t has been stimuli
taneously improved in quality and cheap
ened by the natural method of the sur
vival of the fittest' and the elimination
of the more unfit constructions. This
process Is still going on, but at a slower
pace than formerly. Few elements of the
pleasure automobile AVE survived the
last five years unaltered.
Motor il Much Quieter.
The motor has been quieted by attention
to incorporating mechanism, to the car
buretor and to the exhaust line. 1t has
been given remarkable flexibility by i'm
p~rovements principally in the ~carburetor
and valve setting. The magnetic has come
into its own as the most reliable source
Of ignition current. The radiators have
been strengthened and increased in cool
ing efficiency. The cylinder jacketing and
fabrication have been cared for in such a
way thai there is no longer any excuse
for an overheated motor.
In the transmitting system the old o
clutch has been greatly improved, and
the newer disc types have been developed,
1t would seem. almost to perfection.
Through the use OF special materials and
of special TOOTH forms, together with the
annular type of ball-pearing. gear boxes
nave been reduced i'm size and silenced.
The sliding gear has practically elimi-
mated all other forms of transmission, and
unlike five years ago, there is no rival
which seriously threatens its place. The
live rear axle with entirely enclosed driv-
ing mechanism has been developed from
a most uncertain mechanism five years
ago to one of the most positive and re-
liable units in the car.
As regards the running gear, the pressed
steel frame was originated but little more
than five years ago. and was seen only
on one or two cars for several seasons.
It is now UNIVERSAL. It's advantages from
the standpoint of strength, lightness and
cheapness being now thoroughly under
stood.

forging Of I-section has taken the place
of the old built up tube, or hand-forged
rectangular section. The springs, espe-
cially in the rear, rave been heightened
flattened and made of better material
with corresponding increase in comfort
especially at high speeds.
The wheels, apart from the hubs and
tires, nave undergone less change than
any other important element, but consid-
cred as a whole, the adoption OF drawn
metal hubs, roller and ball-bearings, to-
gether, with detachable rims, have modi-
fled this unit very appreciably.
The automobile engineer is not alone to
be credited with the enormous advance
which has occurred. Today he has at
his command methods and materials which
were unknown or difficult to obtain five
years ago.. Today the enormous volume
of business which the has
created has enabled specialists in certain
lines to equip themselves in a most COM
plete manner for handling certain classes
of work. Thus. it is possible to obtain
pressed steel autogenously welded parts
at low prices, which, If properly designed,
are superior to anything that could have
been made commercially at twenty times
the price a few years ago. Five years ago
the steel makers of this country were not
equipped to turn out the special grades of
steel required for high-class automobile
work, ever at three times the price de-
manded today.
Result of Much study.
In this way It nay be said that every
portion Of the automobile has been con-
sidered from different points of view by
men who had made this type of part a
study for years before the advent of the
automobile, and who thus were peculiarly
well placed to help the automobile engi-
neer in his work.
To the large automobile manufacturer
belongs the credit of having the foresight
and daring to invest large sums of money
in a new industry replete with pitfalls
and thus providing the engineer with the
means Of working out his problems. That

whats new at the shown"
That is one # the first questions which
will be asked by the visitor as he enters
the doors OF the Auditorium and glances
down the long aisles of automobiles which
are there displayed. The old adage Of
nothing new" will not apply to the coming
show. for the eyes of the visitor will be
treated to new types he has never heard
OF, and before he leaves the big building
he will be impressed with the enormous
proportions to which the automobile in
dustry has grown in the last five years,
In 1903 the automobiles were all very small
affairs, and a picture Of the shows of that
war looks like a line of little e~lectrics of
the present day. A few years have wrought
wonders in the automobile industry and
the changes which have been made and
which will be shown will cause even those
VIII follow the automobile game to wonder.
The coming exhibition will present a most
elaborate layout and there will be enough
new things shown to keep the fans busy
gazing during the entire life Of the show.
Even at that they probably will miss some
thing.
Styles have changed little. although, of
course, be~tterments have been made look
ing TO both endurance and also to the COM
fort of owners In getting in and out of
their machines. Tie rich Will still insist
on having the most elaborate car which
money and brains can put together, but the
great demand will be for the moderate
priced car which can be used for all pur-
poses. Even those owning the more
luxurious cars will buy cheaper cars for
knock-about purposes.
Cars that Are Popular.
Considering the show as a whole there
will be a noticeable predominance of open
touring cars, baby tonneaus, cars with rear
bucket seats and runabouts, both high
powered and small. While closed cars, such
as the luxurious and expensive Limousine,
the landaulet and coupe, will be shown, the
exhibits will be few, as this Is not the type
of car so much in demand in the west. The
dealers will naturally show the type of car
which is more In demand In the middle
west, which is their battle ground. The
type OF car which is naturally the most
in demand in this section of the country
is the moderate-priced touring car of four,
five and seven passenger capacity. with the
