During the next half OF the rcvoiu-

The Exhaust Stroke.
The crankshaft now begins it's sec
ond revolution and the piston its
fourth stroke; but Just before the
piston starts upward in fact, while il
is still on the power stroke the cam
opens the exhaust valve so that the
rush Of burned gases can start early to
leave the cylinder. and thereby reduce
the pressure against tho piston. A late
acting exhaust valve would cause back
pressure on the piston, and again the
power Of the engine would suffer ma
tcrially.
A properly timed exhaust valve does
not close at the end Of the exhaust
stroke, as would be presumed By the

TT is by no means frequent that an
owner can be found who has more
u than casual knowledge Of his
engine valves. Few even know such
functioning apparatus exists, while
others lack the inclination TO become
better acquainted. This Is a mistake.
The inlet and exhaust valves Of the
engine operate at engine speeds from
800 up to 3400 revolutions a minute,
and when 10 Is known that the valves
have complete control Of the incom-
ing and outgoing gases, and therefore
OF the engine itself. II can be readily
appreciated that they are at least Of
sufficient Importance 20 suggest an ac-
quaintance Of the most intimate char
acter.
To make the Importance Of the
valves clear, refer TO the accompany

type almost universally used in motor

number Of different arrangements in
the various parts Of the modern auto

How Valves Function.

moving downward. and the intake valve
