elasticity-a loss that is often contributed
to by the presence of carbon deposits in
the grooves. 1t should be added that,
should there be much carbon, the rings
may stick or bind in such way as to
cause excessive friction or bad compress
sion Some rings are held in position by
pins; but this practice of pinning has
fallen into disuse to great extent on
account of the trouble involved.
In order to assure proper compression
it is necessary that piston rings shall be
adequately fabricated Have you ever
noticed that compression seems poor
when running Immediately after the en-
CINE has been idle for some time? Lack of
fabrication is often the reason. OF course
this is circumstance that rectifies itself,
assuming that the fabrication system is all
right. Faulty fabrication during running
also means ring trouble.
With the object of eliminating the
various troubles to which piston rings of
the ordinary type are subject, many
variations in design have been introduced
in the past couple of years. There are
more than score of these compound or
other special rings on the market to-day,
and the sketch opposite shows just a
few of the methods by which it is sought
to overcome the bugbear of leakage at
the joints. Another object is to insure
equal pressure around the surface of the
cylinder walls, and to attain this end
there have been many endeavors to COM
bine concentric and eccentric members,
and to produce rings that will accommo-
date themselves to cylinders which, be-
cause of wear, are no longer truly round.
Some of these rings are made Of steel
although this is not permitted to come in
contact with the cylinder walls, but acts
as a carrier which presses cast-iron sec
tons against the walls.
After all, it is the ordinary type of
piston ring that is in general use, and it
is therefore the ring with whose faults we
should be familiar. The others are refine
ments for which greater efficiency is
claimed, and time and use will show
whether all these claims can be sub
stantiated, as some undoubtedly are.

inch. In other words, the piston ring
renders the piston an accurate fit for the
cylinder under all conditions of operation.
Should it fail to do so, expect trouble
you will get it whether you expect it or
not.
Briefly, the reason why piston rings
effect a gas-tight joint is that they are
originally made to a diameter slightly
larger than that of the cylinder. A small
section is then cut out of the circle, and
the ring is compressed so that it will al
most fit the cylinder. While in this state,
the outer surface is finished to the exact
diameter of the cylinder bore, and it there
fore follows that when the ring is released
from compression, fitted to the groove in
the piston, and inserted into the cylinder,
it will press against the cylinder wall over
its entire surface and make practically
gas-tight joint, except at the cut-out
section.
AS there are three, or possibly four,
piston rings on each piston, with the cuts
so arranged that they do not come oppo-
site each other or in line, all possible
leakage at the joints is eliminated. This

ring and also the whole assembly of rings
are as they should he; and in such cir
cumstances the insignificant little ring of
cast iron is promptly forgotten. Too
often the important part it plays is never
realized until something happens, and
then you know all about it.
If the rings should happen to work
around until the openings come directly
opposite each other, the immediate and
obvious result is loss of engine power.
The remedy is equally obvious, but en-
tails some trouble. You just have to open
things up and turn the rings until the
openings are spaced evenly around the
circumference Of the piston. In doing this
it is good plan to test the rings and
replace any that may have lost their
