PRIZE ESSAY TELLS
ABOUT POWER LOSS
Three Main Causes of Engine
Weakening Described BY
Successful Writer. !.

when the Engine Loses Power" was
the subject of a prize contest recently
inaugurated by a prominent motor
magazine. The winner was Frank N.
Blake. of North Adams. Mass. and his
contribution was one Of the best on
the subject that has been presented in
some years. Here is what Blake has
to offer as the three main causes for
loss of power in an automobile engine,
and 1t Is something that must-appeal to
every automobile owner:
When a motor fails to develop its
usual power the cause is frequently one
Of the following three: Loss Of good
omDr ession, deranged valve action, or
faulty ignition.
Loss of compression means more
than simply failure to compress the
charge specific amount; it Is a COM
mon name for a condition which not
only means low initial compression and
consequent weak explosion, but also
that smaller charge is taken into the
cylinder, that portion of the dimin-
ished charge escapes during the COM
preston stroke without doing even
small amount Of work, and that a part
Of the explosive force, the only source
of power that an engine has, escapes
through unauthorized channels; alto
gether a threefold loss. -.
Faulty Compression.
Faulty compression comes from a
variety of causes; cylinders may be
worn. scored or cracked, pistons, some
times crack, rings become gummed.
worn or broken, valves need grinding
when pitted or warped, their stems are
sometimes bent so that the valves can
not seat perfectly, valve stems become
gummed and the springs sometimes
weaken, so that a portion of the charge
escapes before the valve shuts 1t in.
Leaks occur around spark plugs and
valve plugs, but fortunately are readily
found by applying a little oil.
Valve action is disturbed by wear.
sometimes FASTENED by the compara-
lively soft fiber used to allay noise.
Trouble With Ignition.
Faulty ignition is occasioned by in
sufficient or unsuitable. sparks, which
may result from weak battery. either
primary or storage, or from demas-
netization or some other trouble pecu-
liar to the magnetic. The timer should
come under suspicion and be carefully
examined for defects which lead to ir-
regular action Lack of synchronism
means loss of power, and 1t is plain
that missed explosions are fatal to ef-
ficiency. 1t Is not always easy to de-
tect missing or weak explosions and no
