Will you please explain the difference
between single, dual, two spark, doubl'
and duplex ignition7

Will you please explain the differences
between single, dual, two spark, double
and duplex ignition7
Single ignition means that there is
but one source Of current supply, either
dry cells, storage battery or magnetic.
Dual ignition embodies two current
sources, such as magnetic and dry cells,
but only one set of spark plugs, Two
spark ignition means that there are
two spark plugs, operating simultane-
ously in each cylinder. Double ignition
consists of two entirely Independent
ignition sets so that the complete re-
mOyal of one would not interfere with
the operation of the other. The COM
monest example is the high tension
magnetic and a battery Ignition outfit,
each supplying its own set OF plugs
Two magnetos or two battery ignition
systems with individual sources of en-
ergy would also come within the deli
milton. Duplex ignition Is special
form of dual; it comprises magnetic
for running, with a battery as an aid
Just for starting 1t is designed espe-
cially for very heavy automobiles and
marine motors where the. eranking
speed is too slow for the generation or
= spark by the magnetic. This battery
pystem is not intended for continuous
operation.

Do the power strokes in a six eyiin-
der motor overlap enough to keep Il in
motion IL the flywnee were removedY
Yes, assuming, of course, that all cyl
inders are working properly. The pur-
pose Of the tiywheel is to produce fair
ly uniform angular crank shaft veloc-
ity. II there were no fywheel, direct
ly after each explosion the crank shaft
would be speeded up considerably, and
the speed would then drop rapidly I'M
til the next explosion occurred. A fly
wheel reduces these variations In
speed. When the explosion occurs the
force acting on the piston Is spent
largely in speeding up the fywheel'
but as the latter has a large mass
compared with the crank shaft the In
crease is comparatively slight; but, on
the other hand, it drops very little In
speed as the piston progresses on Its
stroke. In other words, the hywheel
il a sort OF a mechanical storage bat
lery which alternately gives and re-
leives energy.

a hotter, better spark with the same
souipment than the present eireuitous
indirect route through engine and
oarts, being a better conductor and
shorter route7
There are several good reasons why
not In the first place. the route
through the engine and frame prob
ably offers considerably less resistance
than the copper conduit. because, al
though its specific resistance Is great
err. the fact that the section OF iron
through which the current flows Is
enormously larger than the copper
greatly oyershadows the advantage
the copper has In the matter OF re-
sistance.
However. even assuming that the
iron offered a much greater resistance
than the copper wire. there would still
be no reason for employing a copper
return. because the resistance Of the
conductor Is negligible alongside OF the
resistance at the spark gap. In other
words. II you doubled the resistance
Of both wires this would add such an
infinitesimal amount to the total re
distance that the difference In the
spark could not be noticed

NV cav runs we'll and the compress

stsm3 Have had new pistons and rings

close fit and tight. Can you give mo
some information2
1t Is quite likely that the push rod
guide Is badly worn, with the result
that every time the cam strikes the
lower end of the push rod the latter
Is slapped against the side of the guide.
If this Is so a new guide, and possibly
q new push rod, will be required. The
valve may be slightly warped, or the
valve stem bent, or possibly there Is
some carbon on the seat of the valve,
although If this is the case the tap
should disappear after the valves are
ground. Whether the trouble Is in the
valve mechanism oi"not may be deter
mined by shifting the valves, push rods
and guides to one of the rear cylin-
ders. The tap might also be caused
by a loose cam shaft bearing or bent
cam shaft.
There Is also the possibility that the
sound Is misleading. 1t may seem to
come from the valve mechanism when
In reality 1t is some other part. II the
trouble is still undiscovered after you
have followed suggestions given you
should inspect every detail Of front OF
motor carefully, paying special atten-
ton to the possibility Of obscure trou-
bles. The connecting rod may be bent
the wrist pin may not be at right an
giles to the cylinder walls, the crank
shaft may be bent, the fan bracket
may be loose. and there Is a host of
troubles of similar character that vary
with each design Of engine, but which
you should have no trouble In looking
for with the motor before you.

What is the maximum pressure In cyl
inders, compression sixty poundsT
What per cent would we gain It we
doubled the compression without any
increase in gas or miSture1
Undoubtedly you mean the maximum
explosion pressure, which might be as
much as $50 pounds. although this
would vary with conditions. Doubling
the compression pressure would also
approximately double the explosion
pressure. Your question is a purely
academic one. as you must realize that
in actual practice doubling the com
preston would cause preignition- In
other words. before the compression
had reached its maximum the intense
heat generated by the high pressure
would be sufficient to precipitate com
bustion. Thus this compression could
not be used unless the motor was sup
piled with a fuel injector instead OF
carburetor. In which case the combus-
don could not start until the fuel was
