MOTORISTS OUGHT TO MASTER
THEORY Of AUTOMOBILE engine

The four strokes Of the engine just
mentioned. however. cannot fully be
understood until the valves IRE ex-
planned. There are two Of these to
each cylinder. one TO let in the flesh
gas, called the inlet valte,' an the
other 20 let out the burned gas, called
the exhaust valve They are hei1
tightly closed by springs and are My
opened when occasion requires To do
this n can-shaft Is necessary. II IL I
long shaft, running the length CT the
motor. with as many cams as there
are valves Ii does not touch the
valve directly, however, as thee is
a small part called a valve litter
which reaches from earn to valve stem.
This gives a more direct push 10 the
valve, gives a broad surface for wear
and has An adjustment which enables
che to secure best results in operation,
The necessary connection with The
crankshaft Is provided by the two tc-
one gears or 'half-tfme gears as they
are sometimes called. The gear On
the cam-shaft has twice as many teeth
as the gear On the crank-shaft. Since
this arrangement drives the cam-shaft
II will be readily seen why they are
called 'haK-time gears.
Now that we have arranged for the
operation of the valves. it will be
easy to understand what follows. The
piston goes down with the inlet valve
open. This sucks in the fresh gas
and is called the suction stroke. Hav
ing filled the cylinder with explosive
mixture the piston now rises, forcing
the gas into the top of the cylinder. the
combustion chamber. As both valves
are tightly closed the gas cannot es
cape, but is compressed in the top OF
the cylinder. So this is called the
compression stroke.
Nov comes the electric spark, set.
ting fire to the compressed gas which
burns, expanding as it does 50. The
pressure developed by the expanding
gas drives the piston down, setting
crank-shaft and fly-wheel in motion,
thus producing power. This is Iha
power stroke. Both valves remain
tightly closed until the pis,cn nears
the end Of the power stroke when the
exhaust valve opens to let out the
burned gases. AS the piston returns
upward it drives out the burned gases
effecting the exhaust stroke This is
followed again by the inlet 7troka and
the series of operations repeated so
long as the engine runs"

Gears are put on a car to be used.
A great majority of the people think
that II car can pull any hill on high
gear ii has lots Of power. For IN.
stance, take two cars of the same
make and same bore and stroke but
change the gear ratio on one from the
other. Have one car geared to I
and the other 3 to / on high. Start
them both en- the same hill at the
same speed and then watch results.
The car geare1 to will beat the
other; still both cars having the same
sire motor and weighing the same. 1t
is not always pulling power on high
gear that shows the power. Some 80
horsepower ears will output so horse
power cars on high gear. =.
Great care should be exercised IS to
TIE changing of gears and should be
shifted at the proper speeds so as to
relieve all possible strain from the
motor. In shifting the gears they
should never CRATE as this chips of and
put burr en- the teeth and in time
win have to be replaced by new ones.
In demonstrating the driver wifi
very often have to start on high gear
TO show the prospective buyer what
can be done. An experienced man will
never ask this done as he knows it
means nothing ..@..
When driving up a long hill on high
gear do not wait for the car to come
to stop before changing into second
Tho change should be made just as
soon as the car commences to slow
down. or In other words when It
deTenrtrates that it cannot pull it
on high. ~.

Easy to Understand if Owner
Applies Himself to
the Task

Many persons have trouble with
their automobiles because they do not
Understaad Them says William H.
Stewart, JT., president OF the Stewart
Automobile school. They never can
expect to obtain the best results from
their cars unless they understand the
function Of each part OF the mecaan-
i'm, the OpeI alton, the troubles and
minor repairs. This seems like a
large understanding. bat il can be &C
compiished IL one applies himself sys-
tematicaily to the task. Tue mystery
OF mysteries TO the average individual
is the engine Unless the construc-
ton and operation Of the engine are
known, the. novice can never hope TO
clear his mind o.. that haunting dread
that something is going to happen.
TIE essential parts OF the motor
are few and easily learned. Everyone
has heard of an engine having four,
six or moro cylinders. The cylinder
is the important part CT the engine.
Inside IT are the moving parts which
give power. The more cylinders EN-
pioyed, the smoother the engine is sup
posed to run. The moving parts iE-
side are first the piston. then the wis.
pin passing through it. This serves
as a hinge for the. connecting rod
which transmits the power. 10 the
crank-shaft running the length of the
engine and receiving power from all
the cylinders.
The purpose OF the piston IS four
fold: First, to draw in the fresh mix
ture on the, suction stroke; second. TO
compress II on the compression
stroke; third, to receive the force Of
the explosion on the power stroke
and transmit it to the crank-shatt.
and fourth. to push out the burned
gases ON the exhaust stroke The
wrist pin serves as q hinge and the
connecting rod passes the power
along, transmitting it to the crank
shaft and causing the same to :e-
volVes The action is almost Identical
with that OF the foot on q bicycle
pedal The leg moves up and down in
a reeiprocating manner and causes tie
pedal to reyolve. In the same way the
rod and crank.shaft change
reciprocating motion into motion Of
revolution.

According to the latest census Of
motor vehicles in Great Britain, the
total number Of automobiles and
trucks in actual service Is 1897,
about per cent of the number regis
tered in the United States On Jan. i.
1917. which was 3,541, 1888. In each Of
the seven states of New York. Ohio,
Pennsylvania, Illinois. California, Tex
as and Iowa there are more automo-
biles and trucks than in all of Great
Britain. In the United States the,
production Of cars for 1916 was we'll
over 100000, of which more than
one-third left their factories on Good

another WONDER
IN AUTOS MAKES
IT'S APPEARANCE


There Is now appearing on the mar
ket an automobile whose machinery
plant is no larger than tie human
head, email sphere attached to the
rear axle It is car as light as a
buggy. 1t climbs hills, unlike electric
cars heretofore, as rapidly as any
gasoline car, and descends hills in
absolute safety without application
OF q brake.
The new electric car was develop
ed by Harry e. Dey, an electrical en-.
gineer. DR.. Charles p. Steinmetz,
the noted electrical engineer, consult
ing engineer for the company, says
Of the Dey vehicle:
important features are the motor
with armature and field revolving In
opposite directions. This doubles ef-
fective speed, materially decreases
size and increases efficiency Of the
rotor. On a down grade the motor
feeds power back into the battery,
caves power and makes useiof brakes
unnecessary. One wheel Is driven by
the field, the other by the armatnre,
thus eliminating the differential, the
motor being its own differential,
There Is no transmission consuming
power and occupying space under the
car body. Weight Of car Is less than
1000 pounds. There is ample space
for an extra battery should one want
to 60 touring. Production OF this car
Is now under way and the company
expectsf to place the new car at less
than $1,000, with reduction in price
to $50, and later further reduction as
fast as the demand increases produc-
ton and reduces cost.

SCARCITY or COAL S.
IS Becoming ACUTE
THROUGHOUT GERMANY

5 BERLIN, Germany, April 1.-THE
lack of coal on account OF transpor-
tation difficulties. Is making itself
felt more AMI more in large parts Of
Germany Because almost every
available car is needed for military
purposes and the transportation OF
fuel and raw materials to the an1nnu-
milton factories. the government finds
itself unable to supply private firms
and householdeks with the coal they
need.
Many cities have been compelled
TO restrict the use Of gas and electri-
city to minimum. and In q number
OF provinces all theaters and moving
picture shows now have 70 remain
closed on three days OF the week to
save electric power and gas.
