METHOD OF TESTING FOR
SHORT CIRCUIT SUGGESTED
Discovery of Defects in Insulation,
How to Remedy Them and How
to Care for Them

Where a short circuit is suspected it
may often be discovered by testing the
ignition in the dark, as a spark will be
noticed as passing from the defective
point. The short" is most liable to
occur in the high-tension circuit-that
is, in connection with the wire leading
from the coil to the sparkling plug-and
the short should be looked for while
the wire is in the position it generally
occupies on the car, as the mere act
of moving it in order to make the test
above described may prevent the occur
renee of the short circuit from which
it suffers. 1t is a great mistake to
purchase cheap insulating wire, as a
few dischargings of the battery will
more than make up the difference be-
tween the costs of the cheap and best
quality wire.
If, on examining the wire, one finds
parts that are chafed they should be
carefully bound with insulating tape,
and steps should be taken to secure the
wire so that further rubbing will be
prevented. A better plan is to slip a
length of rubber tubing over the wire
or to replace the wire with a new
length. The wires should be kept as
free from oil as possible, as oil rots the
insulation and thus invites short cir
cutting. If the insulation appears to
be quite sound, the trouble may arise
from breakage of the wire itself. If
the wire be passed through the fingers
with a bending movement the break
will probably be easily felt; but If not
it may be detected in the case of the
primary wire by the voltmeter.
The battery, suspected wire and volt
meter should be formed into a circuit
for the purpose. Some tension and
twisting movement should be put on
the wire during the test. If there is
current in the battery, but none can be
detected through the wire by the volt
meter, there is evidently a break. The
wire should be replaced by another,
if possible, but if no spare wire is
available the defective one should be
cut through at the fault, the insulation
slit lengthwise and peeled back for
about one inch on each part, and the
ends thus barred should be twisted to-
gether. The insulation may then be
turned back over the joint and the
whole bound with insulating tape.

VAUGHAN-M MIDDLETON
NAME OF NEW firm

Letters have been sent to several
thousand Los Angeles investors and
business men by Vaughan Middleton
company, announcing the organization
of that firm and the fact that it has
opened offices at SIS Security building,
at which location a real estate business
will be conducted.
While the new firm will handle a
general line of realty work they will
specialize on high-class business and
industrial property and desirable resi-
dence properties in the Wiltshire boule-
ward district.
The new firm is especially fitted fo1
handling this class of properties.
]. A. Vaughan, president of the COM
pany, has had charge of the Wiltshire
boulevard sales department for one OF
the big local companies for years, and
possibly understands conditions and
values in that rapidly growing district
better than any man in Los Angeles.
c. o. Middleton, vice president and
manager of the company, has been
closely identified with the large manu-
featuring and Wholesale interests OF
the city for years, having only recently
resigned a lucrative position with the
big house of Bishop e. Co., where he
had the management of the fruit and
eastern sales department Mr.. Mid
dleton will devote his time to the busl-
ness and industrial department, while
Mr.. Vaughan will handle the high
class residence department.
They have associated with them a
corps of well known and successful
statesmen who will handle such other
business as is offered. The new firm
starts it's business career under most
favorable circumstances and will be
heard from.
