or is sticking in the guide. Examine
the piston rings: they may be worn,
broken or sticking in their grooves, and
perhaps the slots have worked around
so that they coincide. The use Of
heavier lubricant may help. Examine
the spark plugs; cracked or broken
plug is sometimes responsible for the
trouble complained OF.
Replying to c. p. s. regarding sta
tistics:
It is estimated that there are 23O
manufacturers Of pleasure automobiles
in the United States and that the 1916
production will be in excess OF ZOO, 900
cars. The production for 1915 is given
as being 1900 pleasure cars. No fig
ures dealing with European production
are available. Pleasure car msnufact-
ure has practically ceased abroad for
the time being. In 1914 France and
England each produced around 10000
pleasure cars.
Please tell me what is meant by a
full floating rear axle and what is the
difference between this and a three
quarter floating aXle?-M. c.
A full floating aIle is one in which
the driving shafts are free at both
ends, an arrangement which involves
tie use Of jaw clutch between the
axle shafts and the wheel hubs. In
this axle the shafts do not support any
OF the car weight. but act only under
twisting stress. In the thrce-quarter
floating axle the shafts are rigidly fixed
to the wheel hubs instead Of being hex-
IDLY driven, as in the case Of the first
mentioned type
Do you recommend the cantilever
type OF rear spring. Is it a decided i'm
provement in comparison with others =?
X S.
One advantage possessed By tho can't
lever spring is that a greater proper
ton Of its own weight is yeldingly
supported instead of constituting dead
weight on the axle. II is possible to
make springs Of this type with fewer
and heavier plates for the same amount
Of DETECTION under a given load and the
tendency 10 sideswsy is minimized.
Cantilever springs appear &c be gaining
in popularity. but the majority of cars
are fitted with three-qusrter elliptic
rear springs.

VIII you please explain the working
of dfferentisl gear +. F.
The differentisl is a combination of
gears included in the transmission sys-
tenn Of an automobile, which permits
driving effort to be equally transmitted
10 eacn of the two traction wheels
even when they are rotating at differ
ent speeds, as in rounding corners.
Briefly described it consists Of two
master gears, one of which is secured
10 each OF the adjacent ends of the d.
vided axle shaft. and between these is
a series Of pinions carried on studs
fixed in a rotating housing. These pin
ions mesh simultaneously with both
the master gears. The driven gear
which receives the driving effort Of the
engine is fixed in the housing already
referred 20. The differentisl acts as
an equalizing gear, compensating for
traction wheels rotating al differing
speeds.

As this car il fitted with a sliding
selectiye type OF change gear, it is as
sumed that the noise does not occur
during the operation of changing up
from first or down from third speeds
plain is evidenced during actual run
ming when in intermediate speed. I'm
doubtcdly the noise is caused by worn
bearings resulting in a want Of align
ment, which is more apparent in this
individual speed. II would be good
plan TO have the entire gear set taken
down and a careful inspection made.
Probably the car has covered lot OF
ground during It's existence and gem
eral overhaul OF the transmission sys-
TEN is indicated.
My car. 1912 model. which has
been we'll cared for, is using a great
quantity Of lubricating oil. Would fit
ting new piston rings help? J.. S.
II depends upon the amount Of wear.
If the cylinders are in fairly good
shape new piston rings might effect
the desired saving, but possibly it may
be necessary to rebore the cylinders
and fit larger pistons. Before adopt
ing either of these methods you might
try using heavier lubricant than that
which you now employ. A worn engine
will often give better results with a
thicker oil than that which proved most
suitable when it was relatively new
and the reciprocating parts worked to
closer limits.

as much power as formerly. ] find very

The higher initial pressure, the one re-
ouired TO start the wheel, pump is
installed near the tank and so arranged
that il will draw wat r from the TANK

lustration of the water pump herewith) J.
The pine which conducts water from
the pump to the wheel is Of a porous
material, and has certain frictional r.
reoularities which tend TO retard the
initial water flow. II stands TO reason
that a certain amount of the high press
nre mower will be used in satisfying
the effects of the porous material and
overcoming the frictional conditions IN
order that the following lower press
ure Aow or power will be interrupted.
The Effects of Porosity.
The amount Of water that can be alb,
sorbed bv the porous pipe IS called
its capacity. II a second pipe of the
same porous material Is placed along
side Of the first pipe, so that their sur
faces are in contact with each other,
a rurtaer amount OF water will be alb
solbed. IF the porosity Of this second
pipe were sufficient II would allow
ouantity of water 10 be absorbed great
enough TO cause an actual flow out OF
its end. If other bodies of porous
nature were brought into contact with
these pipes. il would result IN large
amount of the initial flow being neces-
sarv TO satisfy this capacity or porosity,
an would necessitate a higher initial
pressure at the pump, in order TO OBJ
tain the same power at the water
wheel as if these conditions did not
exist.
II can be seen that this condition OF
porosity requires that considerable
amount Of energy is lselessly eXpend-
ed i'm order that the high initial press
urc be obtained, and therefore the
amount of power eXerted on the water
wheel is not in proportion 70 the
amount Of water leaving the tank. The
only method whereby the greatest EN-
oiencv could be obtained would be 10
have the pipe IN whicl the water flows
TO the wheel constructed of a material
which was not porous; II this were not
possible then IL would be necessary TO
have the porosity Of the pipe held down
10 the lowest degree and 10 keep away
from il other porous bodies, so as 10
prevent absorption taking place. 1t
would be necessary also to have the
inside Of the pipe free from conditions
which would tend to create friction.

tion may be more readily understood,
four positions Of power plant are
