Once upon a time there was an Old

He Loved his Family Jevotedly. He
thought Nothing was Too Good for them
and so he Gave 1t to them Freely. In
the Spring, when the First Nortgage
Crops were Good, he used 10 get Ek-
travagant. II was his custom at that
Feriod to Select Three New Seven Dol

HEAT TREATMENT
IN MOTOR BUILDING
By c. c. HINKLEY,
Chief Engineer, Chalmers Motor
Company.

One of the most important but least
understood processes connected with
the manufacture Of the modern motor
car. is the science of heat treatment.
The camshaft, which must undergo
4 great share OF the motor strain. is
first packed in q gas pipe about three
inches in diameter. A carbonizing COM
pound is then poured into the pipe and
tamped lightly about the camshaft.
After the camshaft is packed snugly

are securely plugged with fire clay and

closed and the flre Is turned on.
The heat generated in the carboniz-
lng furnaces ranges from 1850 to 100
degree Fahrenheit and Is regulated
from q central control presided over

is to keep tab on the temperature and
timing. Each job which goes into

length of time spent in the furnace
the carbon compound which surrounds

the steel. The part which Is carbonized
is called the case. and Is much harder
