What is the object of a clutch brake2
Please explain its use-M F
A clutch brake is a device to check
the momentum Of the clutch when
changing speeds Usually when the
clutch is disengaged 1t tends 70 spin
for some time. due to the momentum
received from the engine. The brake
Tubs on the clutch shaft or drum in
such manner as to reduce its D1omen-
tuu- This facilitates gear shifting
without having to wait for the gears
to ASSUME approximately the same
speed as the clutch.

VIII you tell me what is meant by
fixed nozzle carburetor2 Il Jensen.
Some carburetors have a valve by
which 1t is possible to change the size
Of the hole through which the gaso-
line enters the mixing chamber at the
ton Of the spray nozzle.
A fixed. nozzle carburetor has no
such adjustment, and in order to
change the nature of the mixture the
amount Of air entering the carburetor
must be regulated. Cutting down on
the air VIII increase the vacuum and
cause the mixture to be richer. BY
allowing more air to enter the mix
ture VIII be Ieaner in character.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

By local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when 1t is
entirely closed, deafness ia the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out Of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which Is moth
ing but an inflamed condition Of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall q
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.
