GREASE TESTS ASSURE
PROPER LUBRICATlON

At the plant OF Dodge Brothers not
only IS every bit of material carefully
tested in every possible manner but
grease and oils must conform TO a
high standard to assure the proper
running OF the car mechanism after
the car goes to an owner.
For instance, the grease used in tile
transmission and in the axles of
Dodge Brothers cars has been sub
iected to tests. which prove how it
will act under all conditions of driy-
ing
~ In recent tests transmission and
a rear axle packed with grease were
left in cold storage room with a
temperature below zero for several
days and the mechanism then re-
moved and the grease examined to
ascertain how it stood the extreme
cold. ~. ..-'.
Among the other tests which the
grease candidate must survive, is the
dynamometer test.
The dynamometer itself is device
which applies heavy load against.

measures that lead, which is ordinar-

are used, one placed directly adjacent
to the engine and the other about ten
feet away. On the one. effect of the
engine heat is factor in the expert
ment, and in the other it is not, The
brake on the side nearest the wall is
set, bringing the differential into con-
slant play. The test is made either
with the same variety of greases in
both transmission and rear axle, or
with different kinds: By reversing
and gearing up the outer transmits
sion, a tremendous force is obtained,
thereby affording opportunity to OBJ
serve the greases under high pres

close to the parts in which the greases
are being treated, to record the heat
produced by friction If the mercury
rises to any great extent above the
temperature in the room, which is un.

man To whom the nation Is indebted
fOg the gasoline automobile. II siiil+a
Young man, being hui 50 years old
He was born IN Portland, lfsd ana Al
the age OF fourteen invented an. ap
paraths for making oxygen gas and
succeeded in melting brass, cast iron
and high carton steel, using "a fir
mace and blower OF his own cCnstruc-
ton.
At twenty-one he entered the Wor-
ccster polytechnic institute and grad
iIated three years la.er. taking as
/ his thesis The Effect OF Tungsten on
ron and Steel. He discovered the
same year tungsten steel, a metal now
in common use
Returning 10 Portland Ind, his
home town, Mr. Haynes became prin.
cipal OF the Portland high school,
which post he held during the years
1SS3-1SS4 The year following he en-
tered the Johns Hopkins university,
Baltimore, Md, and took a post grad
uate course in chemistry and biology.
T.
he taught science in the Eastern In
diana normal school for the next two
years.
Mr.. Haynes then entered the com
mercial field. accepting the manager
ship of the Portland Natural Gas and
Oil Company of Portland, Ind. and
during his connection with that com
pany he invented and perfected a
small vapor thermostat
How Auto Idea Originated
The year 1890 found Mr.. Haynes
identified with The Indiana Natural
Gas & Oil Company of Chicago, ILL
nois, in the capacity of field super
intendent. His work necessitated a
great deal of driving and it occurred
TO him that some better means of To-
.comotion over the highways than the
horse and buggy might be pro-
duced.
In his recent autobiography Mr.
Haynes, speaking of his early expert
ences in connection with the horse
less carriages" writes as follows:
Il found that the great trouble with
the horse was his lack of endurance.
] accordingly laid plans for the con-
struction of mechanically propelled
vehicle for use on the highway. The
use OF a steam engine was first con-
sidered but / made no attempt TO
build car of this description for the
reason that a fire must be kept con !
stantly burning on board, and with !
liquid fuel this would always be more
or less of a menace.

found that the ligEtest battery OBJ |
weighed over 1900 pounds for

as this showed little promise of sue

same engine, which was the standard
size of 2SS cubic inches piston dis
placement. had previously run 10 min
'utes with the standard crankshaft and
had developed a maximum of 110.2

The power test was carried over a
range OF 1000 TO 1900 revolutions per
minute at intervals OF POO, with three
minute runs at each stage, occupying
IS minutes in all, and reaching a peak
at HOP, as already indicated. The
maximum power run of ~ minutes
yielded a maximum power Of 1855
and minimum OF 1905.
