Is simply done by notcEing the shaft

LESSON NO. 40.
Transmission (Continuc,D 4.

The transmission needs little atten-
tion, hut there are some features OF
4 which require a little explanation.
The way in which the transmission
is most neglected Is In carelessness
In looking to its fabrication. The fill
ing with grease or oil is generally
dirty and disagreeable job, and so is
left until the last possible moment
AS the load comes on out three or
four teeth ut a time, and thus comes
on but small amount of surface, the
wear, when there is lack of lubrica-
ton, will be very quick, and will re-
suit in the thinning and so weakening
of the teeth that In time they will
break off or strip. SO II Is important
that the fabrication of the transmits
sion he carefully looked after. and the
driver should take the cover off and
see If there is the proper level of
grease in 1t about every $500 miles.
The question is often asked as to
which is the better lubricant for the
transmission-a heavy oil or a grease q?
The writer favors a grease or nom
fluid oil, provided that this grease has
two properties; namely It must flow
very freely even in cold weather, ana
Il must stick to the finger or a piece
of metal when inserted In Vt, and
stick in quite a mass.
If the grease does not flow freely,
II will be spattered about and stick
to the sides and the top of the housing,
with the result that the gears soon
run dry 1t Is because of this tend
eucy that many advocate the heavy
oil instead of the grease. There are
some greases which will flow more
freely on real cold days than will
some Of the heavy oils.
Unless the grease has the DrODprIy
of sticking both to metal when
placed in It. and itself. 1t will not be
carried up SO as to lubricate the teeth
of the gears where they come in con-
tact.
Certain cars use the same oil as Is
used in the engine to lubricate the
transmission gears, the oil being
pumped over the gears and then
running back into the crank case OF
the engine. Where this is the uase
no grease or oil must be put into the
transmission.
As to the proper level of the grease
or oil, where the transmission is de-
signed with the gears on the sec
ondary shaft placed below those or
the main shaft. the level should be
such that the small low speed gear
Just dips into the grease or oil. while
If the gears are placed side by side
the intermediate gears should just dir
into the grease. By study Of the
drawings of the transmission 1t vii
be readily seen why this should he so
The bearings on the transmission
shafts are always either of the bal
or roller type. They require littl'
care. their fabrication being automat
ically taken care OF by the movement
of the gears In the grease or oil.
II, however. the smallest particle!
of metal gets in the bearing. It will
cause the balls or rollers to rush ans
chip, and also cause a tearing OF thu
surface OF the raceways. For thi.
reason when the transmission cove
