turning to the right seems as though
the leftihand wheel would be running
backwards when the right hand wheel
moves forward. Unless the friction OF
the left hand wheel has a tendency TO
act as n brake and prevent the small
pinions from turning. which would
cause wheels to move in the same di-
rection. J. T.. W.
\. About a ninc-yolt lamp will bU
best for the Ford lights. believe YOU
would do better Ia connect your dash
I Iamp in series with the headlights as
the Ford magncto generates very
I high voltage at high engine speeds.
/ Connecting u resistance In TIE circuit
of the dash lamp will also he Il good,
way. and with IL You Viii not he taxi

| which may prove II disadvantage AT
/ low speeds.
Your understanding of The diffcrcn-
! tial does not seem to be far wrong.
| The picture In the manual does not
| show that there Is a gear attached ia
/ the shaft of the hand wheel, Just
| as there Is 10 the right hand wheel,
the large ring gear hiding ii.
| When the resistance against roth-
! ton Il the same on both wheels then
the small pinion will pull both whecis
around ut the same speed, the diifcr-
cntial In fact acting as though IL were
one solid piece. This is the ease when
going straight forward on backward.
When. however. there Is more re-
! sisiancc on one wheel than the other,
| then the small pin;ons will rcvolvc,
and sort OF roll around the gear of the
wheel OF most pressure. thus the one
wheel Will rcvolvc while the other will
remain stationary. This Is the case
when one wheel Is on icc. mud or II.
! sand When turning u corner the re-
! I, t.tS ns
the outer wheel has reached the re-
auircd greater speed than the inner H.
| order TO travel around the greater
circle. SO hero both wheels will travel
forward, but the outer faster than the
/ inner.
! If the propeller shaft bc held sta
tionary, revolving one wheel forward

@. Having read the inclosed clipping
| in today's (-), wonder what
! risk ] am running drawing gasoline
from an iron or steel tank by gravity
through a rubber hose. theE filtering
| through a chamois or cloth laid IN
funnel to the tank of Tin Hennery'
| car Kindly advise me If | am maxi
ing mistake. make Il suggestion.
j. S. u.
A. There have been at least two
| fatal explosions rs u result of fi'tcring
gasoline through "a channel laid In "a
metal funnel. Static electricity Is gen
Grated when the easolinc goes through
the chamois, and when the funnel Is
taken out of the tark. or the chamois
' is pulled away from, the sides of tho
funnel. a spark results, causing the
| explosion. Many Il man has done nis
| filtering in this way thousands of
times, nevertheless the danger Is there.
Having fine wire gauzc in the spout
of the funnel will filter out the water
and do away with the danger.
@. i Will appreciate 1t very much
| If you will answer the following cues
tion: How can one loosen or remove
a 30x3 l. inch tire which sticks fast
to the rim on account Of rust? G. B.
\. About the best advice ! can
| give you Is to pry the tire off bit by
/ bit with "a good tire tool, unless II +
about used up, when thc pouring anc
soaking in of kerosene will help.
@. There Is a lot of noise in the
| forward part of my engine. ! am
| sure that It is not due to the valves,
| engine bearings or the cam gears. Caf
you suggest something else for me to
look for? A. j. O.
A. IL is more than likely that the
noise comes from your fan BEARINGS.
| If the nuts on the fan shaft have
backed off, IL will cause the raccways
tn separate and so the balls will rattle.
| The locating of n noise Is difficult
| thing, "a often a noise In the differ
! cntial will he transmitted through the
propeller shaft and other parts and
| seem To come from the front, whereas
\ IL really IS I'm the rear.
Q. ! recently had my car over
hauled from beginning to end, valves
| ground, rings cleaned. etc, but now
| the car seems to have less power even
than before. / do not think that 1t
coasts so well as before. T. l.. NJ.
a. Evidently your brakes are dras-
ging. The wheel bearings may have
bcca set up too tight. Jack up the
long while.
Q. My engine goes very fast when
/ start up and the car does not keep
up to 1t. Almost stands still. Then
it suddenly goes very fast Please
tell me what is the reason. A. ID. e.
4. Your clutch Is slipping. If II
core clutch, try tightening the spring
dry plate disc. try cleaning ny flush
ing with kerosene or tighten the
spring nuts. If wet plate disc, mix
some kerosene wfrh the oil In the
clutch housing. DO NOT do thc latter,
however, if tue same oil l. used both
In engine and clutch housing.
@. l am going to put up my car
Tor the winter Nlndly tell me Wnat
precautions | should take. w. I. S.
\. Drain ont the water. II Is often
advisable to djsconnect the water pip-
ing so rs to get all the water out OF
the "pockcts". II YOU have n storage
battery send II TO battery service
station and have 10 stored there so
that II can bc given slight charge
about once In two months. Jack NJ
all four wheels. and have the tires
fairly well inflated. " the paint has
come off the wheels III spots, dab n
little varnish on the spots So as to
keep the moisture out. Keep the top
