Things CADILLAC
DID ON long RUN

A technical mind trained TO figures
can't help translating anything into
statistical terms; and the recent re-
cord-breaking transcontineutal trip of
the Cadillac eight furnished the op.
portunity of lifetime to the technic-
al men in the Cadillac plant The
result is a mass Of interesting data
based on the distance covered by the
car, 3371.S miles.
For example, it Is found that IL
the power generated by the engine
in its long drive could be concen-
trated in one impulse, it would
amount to 307, 500 horsepower. This,
if concentrated and used in the space
of one minute, would be sufficient
to lift the car and its two passengers
so miles into the air-which speed
would be at the rate of 5000 miles
an hour. ~. -. -.'.- IS. I'd .
1t is found further, that the crank
shaft made more than 100000 rev.
olutions-yet there was no visible
wear on its bearings and no adjust
ment Of the bearings could be made.
For the second hand of watch to
make an equal number of revolutions
would require Is years of continuous
running, and the watch. would have
to be wound $3.50 times. /
rife the crankshaft was doing
its prodigious task, the camshaft was
engaged in making 4,722500 revolu-
tions, turning at half the speed Of the
crankshaft That means that each
valve was opened and closed the same
number of times; and that each valve,
in performing its function, travelled
distance equal to 1913 miles.
During the IL days of the run,
each of the eight pistons travelled,
within its cylinder, 1925 miles in
moving up and down its 81 inch
stroke; and the total distance trav-
eled by the eight pistons was 12,2O0
miles, or about half way around the
earth. .as... .>
| The total number of sparks pro-
4uced was more than 37,7S0,000,
which means that it took that many
explosions in the engine to lprnpel
the car from Los Angeles to- New
York. ,ses...-
| The; water pumps in the cooling
/ system circulated the equivalent Of
! 2S7,500 gallons Of water. The cool
ing system holds 51a gallons, but the
circulation of this quantity again and
again was the equal to the passage
of the. larger quantity through the
pumps. Similarly, the amount of
oil circulated through the. engine
/ again and again was the equivalent
of 674 barrels, or 21,240 gallons.
) The distance covered by the Cad
lilac from. one coast to the other, was
3371.S miles: and it was necessary
4 for each wheel of the car to reyoIye
more than 1,SS9,000 times. -.
! These figures are. significant in
view of the fact that at the finish
the car, mechanically, was in virtual
ly as good condition as at the start

LIFEOF TIRES
Dependent Upon
CAREFULDR|V|NG

"The reason some autoists get so
much greater mileage out Of the tires
and tubes than others do, even
though they be driving the same kind
OF automobile and using the same
size and make Of tires, is because OF
the human equation that enters into
the subject or driving says Mr..
George Wells. manager Of the Royal
Hawaiian Garage, territorial distribu
tors. He adds:
aSome Cole owners have been max.
ing reports Of unusual mileage. and
naturally this Is very pleasing to our
firm. They show that Cole owners
are careful drivers and that means
their cars are well handled, for the
better treatment that is shown tires
most certainly means the same thing
for the car. Our car is constructed
so as to be easy on tires. but reports
OF 5000 and 5000 miles 10 casing
no longer create comment at our
place.
ct would be hard 70 outline any set
rules TO insure long tire mileage.
Realization that the tires carry the
whole weight OF the car and that
the pavements are hard will make
some impression. One walks upon
carpet Ii the house and there is no
thought Of putting pieces of glass,
small stones. etc. under the carpet
yet Il Is 0f woven texture and the
tires are rubber.

is something more than a matter OF

quent trips of Paige executives to the

SPARE TIRESNEED
PROPER COVERING

No wonder you have wondered why
spare tire that has been carried
some time fails to give the expected
mileage when you put 1t into service.
In the opinion of Harry Parker, man
ager Of the Auto Service and Supply
Company, local distributor of Good
year tires, this lack of expected serv-
ice usually may be traced directly to
the lack care you give your spare
tires. -. -. ...~.. ...... 49,. ~. =. III
Mr.. Parker says there are two
things which would save a lot of tire
expense for motorists: A proper rack
and proper covering for spares"
When a tire Is carried on the running
board 1t soon becomes dried out and
covered with surface cracks. These
cracks and the drying will detract
from mileage when the tire is finally
pressed into service. The jolting to
which it is subjected on the running
board does not help it's lasting quail
ties, either r.
Spare tires should be protected by
a light .moisture-proof cover. This
will prevent the tire from cracking
in a large measure, will keep it from
drying out ard will preserve its re-
siliency to a large degree" ~
