Although rarely done. it is better to
strain lubricating oil before il is put
in the tank, not only TO prevent the
clOgging Of oil ducts and to eliminate
the possibility Of abusive action due
to foreign substances but also to pre-
vent foreign matter from getting into
the pump. Such matter may cause the
pump 10 stick and some part to become
broken.
To a greater or less degree, the
value Of a windshield depends upon
the method Of using it. For instance,
if a windshield is set perpendieular
to the earth when the top of the car
is lowered and the rear curtains but
toned in position. the effectiveness OF
the shield is greatly decreased for
the draughts VIII enter through the
space between the top and the top OF
the windshield. and be reflected from
the sides and rear curtain and form
eddies which envelop the driver. If,
however, the shield is slanted slightly
and the rear curtain raised so as TO
afford free passage for the current
OF air, the latter viii mug the under
side of the top and pass on out at
the rear and viii not interfere with
the comfort of the driver. The angle
at which the shield is most effective
when the top is lowered can be de-
termined in a very few minutes by
little experimenting which can De
done without any difficulty.
The best way to drive a car over a
short stretch Of broken stone is 10
take a short run at it-nOt too fast
and let the car coast over the stone
with the clutch out. Thus the rear
tires are relieved Of driving strains
and Of the resulting tearing action OF
sharp stones on the rubber. OF course,
il IS not always practicable TO do this,
but when it can be done IL adds Just
a little more to the life Of the tires
