Are the SO called antitrust prepara-
tions injurious to the cooling system?
We have no reports where any of
the preparations which are on the mar
ket that are sold especially foi auto
mobile radiators have done any harm,
There are occasions, however. where
boiler compounds have been used
which contain corrosive substances
that have acted injuriOnsly on the ra.
diator and water connections. For
this reason before using any prepara-
ton it should he known that it IS in
tended particularly for radiators and
nothing else.

What are the advantages and disad-
vantages of the disk friction chain
drive compared with other types of,
transmission now more commonly
used?
The advantages. of the friction trans
mission are that it offers an infinite
number of gear ratios, is silent, cheap
to manufacture and simple The dis
advantage is tlat the friction disk
must be renewed every few thousand
miles. This is a sman matter, but
worth noting, and the amount of
horsepower it will transmit under the
conditions found in automobile design
is limited. Therefore 1t has never
been used to any extent on large cars,
but has found favor on some cars of
medium size and on more sman cars.
The gear set of my car is of the plan
etary type. When the low speed pedal
is pushed down to start there is a
knock heard from the gear set at reeu.
lar intervals. What is the cause of it7
Owing to the speed of the motor in
starting out on low speed the knock
you speak Of possibly is at the outer
bearing or transmission shaft bearing,
where the car is cranked The dust
and dirt continually working in this
babbitt cut out the bearing sufficient
ly to produce a knock at this point.
This bearing has a habbitt lining and
must be poured to fit the shaft.
Please explain whether there would
be any advantage gained by fitting
aluminium pistons?
Aluminium pistons are lighter and
reduce the vibration because Of their
light weight. The expansion Of alu-
minium under heat is greater than that

determining clearance.
Will slightly rotating the poppet
valves of a motor prevent the valves
from improperly seating and carbon
from forming on the valve seats7
Oscillating the valves will tend TO
keep the seats clean and thus the

vent the accumulation of carbon in
any quantity ON the seats.

Can an expert gain any advantage
by changing from automatic to hand
control in a battery ignition system?
A skilled driver might get better re-
suits with hand control of the
spark than could be obtained with
the automatic type of ignition control
for the reason that grade climbing can
be accomplished much easier and the
loads of the motor considered. In 9th
er words, the driver can shift his
spark to suit road and motor condi-
tions and thus get the highest efficien-
cy at all times.
When adding eIectroIyte to a storage
battery, should il be done when the

The solution should cover the plates

and obviously the only way to tell

to test it in some manner, the gravity

We would appreciate your telling us
how to correct the oiling system in a
new car which has given trouble since
il left the factory. The car has been
driven 5000 miles, so by this time
should be thoroughly worn in" The
trouble is that oil works up into the
first and fourth cylinders.
Faulty piston rings seem to be the
only condition which would give the
oiling trouble you mention. 1t may be
that the joints Of the rings. which are
of the ordinary eccentric type. have
become aligned. leaving passageway
for the oil to enter the combustion
space. Another possibility is that you
have too much oil in the crank case,
which causes a greater supply than
necessary TO be thrown up. 1t would
seem that rhe best step to take would
be TO remove the pistons and examine
the rings on the cylinders that give
the trouble The pistons can be re-
moved by taking off the lower half Of
the crank case. removing the lower
connecting rod bearing cap and with
drawing piston and connecting rod as
scmbly. y replacement of the rings
sAould eliminate the difficulty.

Ordinary tires use n fabric carcass or
