 BALANCE OF A MOTOR
 sswe find that to the majority of prospective pa1rchasers, the balance or an auto1no bile motor is rather vague and Inisun nderstood subject, !" states George H. Peck. of the Peck & I.nnes Co.,, distributors of the HayHes- ba1ancedd motor by the simplest definition is one that runs perfectly speed. Technically. the. perfect bal ances Of a motor is obtained when the resultant centrifugal forces are equal and opposite, and hence equal to zero ins any plane.
 ssPerhaps the best way to Illustrate the effect of unbananced forces is to tie q weight to a string and swing it around the index finger As tho weight swings around in the path of a circle the index finger is pulled on bv the weight, and since the weight is constantly changing it's position, the pull on the finger changes and the finger begins to move so as to descr4Be a small circle.

If second weight is tied to string and fastened to the same finger so as to extend out in the opposite di- rection from the first weight when the two arc swung around the finger. if will be found that there will be very little or no pull on the finger if the two weights are equal
 The same conditions apply exact Az. -L---. Al weights Of the arms of the crank shaft and the big ends of the connect ing rods are such as they swing around the crank shaft bearings that they produce equal and opposite pulls as in the case of the two weights about the finger, there viii be no vibration
 If these weights are not equal, there will be pull on the crank shaft beaxkngs, and the crank case follow the pull of the unbanlnced weights in the path of 8 circle. This pull is the cause Of the vibration. If 1t is zero, there is no vibration.
 fThis pull can be made zero in efrect by the proper balancing of the crank shaft, the fly wheel. and of the connecting rods before assembly,
 SPEED CRAZE PASSING
