GEAR NOISES MEAN
MUCH TO AUTCISTS

Noise from gears Is one of the
most important things to consid-
er in the making of a quiet-run-
ming automobile. A transmission
can now be made of hard alloy
steel with practically noiseless spur
gears so far as vibration is con-
cerned. Experience in electric ma
chimes long ago indicated that an
unhardened gear of the herring
bone type could be made positively
noiseless. OF course, a sliding
herring-bone gear cannot be made.
One theory Of noise in gears is
that of irregular tooth pressure
when, from slight inaccuracy, one
tooth has a pressure different from
that of the next succeeding tooth,
thereby setting up a varying vi
bration and backlash. If the speed
of the gears is rapid, complicated
vibration. amounting to a noise, is
set up.

youth with ideas. There is no skepticism
today regarding the utility Of Juvenile
experiments. The boy who has a taste
for mechanical devices and a turn for
invention has far better opportunity
to pursue his studies and perfect himself
than ever before In the history Of
civilization. The public schools offer him
a technical education, with laboratories
for the conduct Of his individual re-
searches. while the large institutions Of
learning are open to all who show the

only to perpetuate the controversy re-

point of view Of the family. the exhuma-
