How Gear Teeth Are Tested.

Every part that enters into a high grade motor car must pass series of rigid tests. Every part Is not only thoroughly tested, but so carefully are tests conducted that 1t is definitely known just what each part will stand.
 In testing the teeth of gears the or dinary test has been to deliver a pow erful blow against the teeth. The ef- feet of the blow was easily apparent, but 1t was impossible to measure how much force had been expended. The problem was put up to the engineers and they developed a machine that de- livers the blow and at the same time measures the force used.
 The principle is the same as though workman took a chisel, placed it against a tooth and struck the chisel with a hammer. In the case of the machine sharp blade is forced against the tooth with heavy impact and on n dial the leftover energy" is regis tered. It is simple matter of math- ematics then to calculate the amount of force needed to break the tooth.
