Expert Advice For Ghe
Automobile Owner
Queries and Replies Covering Matters Of
Importance to the Man Who Runs Car

10 tnsre q mechanical device which
will automatically signal the exact time
at which the gears should be shifted
from first to second, from second to
third?
The time Of gear changing can be
determined In two ways, one by In
stinct after one has driven the car for
any length Of time and the other by
means of a tachometer or revolution
counter. This instrument when in
stalled Will indicate the r. p. m. OF the
motor. and you can easily determine
by practice at what r. p. m. a change
must be made in order to make shift
ing quiet and easy.

What remedy can you suggest for q
rattle which occurs when my clutch is
diseneaged? II is Of the multiple disk
type with cork inserts.
The clutch rattle may possibly be
caused by the prongs on the shifting
bar not being an equal distance away
from the thrust bearing. This can be
determined by inserting feeler gauge
between the prongs and the bearing,
and il one is found to be closer than
the other the distance should be equal
lied by bending back the one which Is
closest.
There is a tendency for a rattle to
occur In this type Of clutch when it
is disengaged, especially when coasting
on down grade or when driving over
rough spot, but this can be overcome
by bringing the shifting lever into
neutral position and allowing the
clutch 70 remain engaged, especially
while coasting down grade.
Can you explain the difference be-
tween a short stroke motor and a long
stroke nnotor2
Short stroke motors are those whose
ratio between stroke and bore Is small,
and long stroke motors are those
whose stroke to bore ratio is rather
larger. Any motor with larger bore
than stroke naturally is short stroke
motor. and in the same class are placed
motors OF the square type or those
with equal bore and stroke. Long
Gyrole motors are considered usually TO
have a stroke bore ratio Of 1.3 to ono
Or over.

Can you tell me of some liquid soIu-
ton for removing carbon2
A number Of liquid solutions for re.
moving carbon are successful, and
although they cannot be listed here
any Of the brands which have been on
the market for some time will proba-
bly, be found to do all that Is claimed
for them. They merely act as carbon
solvents and therefore are not as quick
and positive in their action as scrap
ing or burning carbon from the cylin.
ders. The best way to convince your
self Of their efficiency is to scrape
some lump carbon from the motor,
place it upon piece of cast iron and
put a small portion of the carbon re-
mover upon the carbon and watch the
action. Two points. however, must be
watched with great care In using these
removers, the first being that they do
not attack the metal Of the cylinder
wall and the second that the lubricat-
ing material in the crank case Is not
destroyed by the leaking OF the carbon
remover past the piston. After many
of the removers are used 1t is neces-
Sary to empty the crank case and re-
fill with new oil. Therefore the best
time to remove the carbon is at the
time when the oil itself Is to be re-
newed.

How can ! make a burner for an
oxygen acetylene welding OUTFIT have
the oxygen tanks and aeetyIene tanks
made, but I cannot get the principle of
the burner.
We do not advise you to make a
torch for your oxyacetylene welding
outfit, but instead to buy one. In
writing to the manufacturers mention
the size Of the tanks you have. Have
you installed suitable reducing valves
and checks? You also will need a
number Of different sized replaceab!e
tips for the burner.

Will high tension magnetic operate
II the two or three magnets are re-
versed SO that the north poles are
where the south poles formerly were7
! have magnetic which has more pull
in turning it opposite from the way il
Is supposed to run. What causes this7
IL all the magnets are reversed there
viii be no difference in magnetic oper-
alton. However, in a two magnet in
strument If you reverse only one of
the magnets the fux of one viii neu-
tralize that Of the other, and the mag
neto will not give a spark Of any ap-
preciable value.
There should be little difference in
the pull on the armature. and there is
greater pull apparently because the in
terrupter opens at the wrong time as
compared with that at which the ar
mature breaks the lines Of force. This
may be caused by the interrupter
housing moving too far in an advanced
position. Perhaps you feel more re-
sistance when turning In an anti
clockwise direction because OF the
binding Of some part.

What is the best way to care for a
battery If il is not to be used during the
winter7
The best method is to give the bat
terry TO the local garage man with in
structions to charge it every month or
every two weeks and give the same at
tention that it would receive If it
were in use in the car, such as adding
water, etc. If you wish to care for
the battery yourself you can change
1t every month by the generator in the
car. If you have no generator you
will have to have the work done by a
charging station. The battery should
not be kept in the cold garage, q bet
ter place being some storeroom in the
house.

NY car does not hit regularly WREN
idlins or running fast on q smooth
road. Il has a good spark, and the two
center cylinders fire all right, but the
end ones misfirs. The spark plugs in
the end cylinders get dirty, while the
center ones are clean. What is the
troubls7
The only apparent cause of this pc
culiar action is due to some disarrange-
ment in the interrupter housing The
interrupter is broken by one cam for
cylinders Nos. and and by another
cam for cylinders Nos. 2 and 3, and 1t
is possible that the points break well
on one side and not on the other.
When the end plugs are shortened the
condenser action causes the two mid
die ones TO obtain sufficient current to
fire the charge. There are a number
of causes OF uneven breaking OF the
points. and we do not advise you TO
try to dismantle the magnetic to find
the cause. Send the magnetic to the
nearest service station and have them
look it over.

The steering wheel Of my car squeaks
when turned to the right. Can you
suggest a way to eliminate the noise?
The application Of oil is about the
only thing that will stop the squeak
in your steering mechanism. The
throttle and spark controls usually
pass down through the steering post
by means Of tubes. and these proba-
bly, have become corroded. Not know
ing the exact construction. it is diff
cult TO locate the point where the
squeak occurs. but If you will apply
oil to all the moving surfaces you will
undoubtedly locate the place which is
giving the trouble. Sometimes oil up
piled directly under the steering wheel
hub will eliminate a squeak at that
point If you do not put grease or oil
into the steering head proper for some
time possibly these working parts are
in need Of this.
Wherever one metal bears and works
upon another lubricant is necessary.
II you will observe closely the work
ing parts when the wheel is turned
you will undoubtedly be able to elm.

little oil at these pointS-
