toothed gear T., or 1t will make three
revolutions to two for Il. Thus the pin
G. and engine will have TO make
3-2X2 or 3 revolutions for one of the
driven gear, giving speed ratio OF
3 to /.
In practice the gear F. o and the
slow-speed gear @ are built into one
piece, called Triple Gear. For the
sake of balance and to allow thinner
gears to be used, there are three Of
these triple gears and three pins G
on the flywheel for them.
Having the three triple gears
meshing with single set of center
| gears makes 1t necessary that the
gears be timed. For this reason a
prick-punch mark Is made on them
and when assembling these punch
marks must be so placed that they
come to the marks on the center
gears. Unless this be done, the gears
will not go together. In some plane
tary transmissons no mark will be
found on the center gears. When this
is the case, the punch marks on the
triple gears must be placed so that
lines drawn thru the marks and the
center of the gears will meet in the
center of the flywheel.
Like the forward drive, the re-
verse drive is obtained by holding
the reverse gear stationary by means
| of a drum and brake band the band
being operated by foot pedal.
The slow speed and reverse drum
, are placed side by side. The gears
are attached to the drums by means
of tubular sleeves, the slow-speed
gear and sleeve passing thru the
sleeve of the reverse gear. This is
shown in Fig. .. Here the hatched
portion X represents the low-speed
| gear and drum, and the hatched por-
ton i the reverse gear and drum.
In the Ford transmission the driven
gear, instead of being connected di-
rectly to the propeller shaft, Is at
tached TO n third drum. this third
drum with its brake band being used
as the foot or service brake of the
car. II is shown in black.
When the car Is standing still while
the engine is running, the slow-speed
drum will revolve backward and re.
verse drum forward. should these
| drums be even slightly held the car
will have tendency to move For
| this reason Il Is common thing to
see Ford cars move the instant the
engine is started even with the emer-
gency brake set, the drive rushing
into the car and applying the foot
brake, or having someone apply tins
brake. while he cranks. The cause OF
this is that the drums are not free,
as they may have dragging bands,
while dirt or gummed oil may also
be holding them in some way.
All three of the drum bands are

During the fiscal year ending July
I, the Forster-Lukns Auto company,
incorporated, has sold 253 Hupmo-
hiles, thereby setting n record mark
for the sale of any one make of car
in a years time.
The past year has been n banner

the many sales of Hupmobiles, in

POKER PLAYING Is NO CRIME
Judge Declares Women Have Perfect
Right to Engage In the Game.

The inalienable right of American
citizens including those to whom New
York still denies the ballot, to engage
in friendly game OF poker has been
confirmed by Coney Island court. The
magistrate, in handing down his

brought repentance and wish to
break up the game after she had lost
Sl,700 at poker and red dog.

LESSON NO dS.
The Ford Transmission.

In studying the forward drive gears
of the planetary transmission, we saw
that as the diameter and number OF
the teeth in the gears approached one
another that the speed ratio increased
until finally, when all the gears are
of the same size, the ratio would be
infinity to one, or, in other words, the
driven gear would not be moved at
all II the size of the driven gear
be now made smaller than its driv-
ing gear (you will remember it was
larger for the forward drlVe) then the
driven gear will be driven backyard,
or reverse. Like, for tho forward
drive, the more nearly the gears are
of the same diameter the greater will
be the speed ratio and the greater
the leverage.
Let us see how the driven gear is
driven backward. Figure l shows the
arrangement of the gears for re
versng. Let us assume that the gear
NJ has 10 teeth while the gear o has
but 20 teeth, then as the flywheel and
therefore, pin reVolVcs. in the di-
rection of the arrow !. the gear y will
roll on the gear NJ revolving on the
pin G in the direction of the arrow 2.
in doing so. Now as O has but rs
teeth, 1t will have made one revolution
when It's 20 teeth have rolled on 20
of the rs teeth of NJ, and so when the
flyWheel and pin G have made com
plete revolution, O, In order to haVo
come in contact with the IS teeth of
NJ, will have had to make one revo-
luton, plus so teeth, or three revolu-
tons. A will again, therefore. be in
the position shown in Fig. l.
Now, as the gear i is attached TO
the gear o, when gear o has made
three CD revolutions, + will also have
had to make this number of revolu-
tons. Were the gear f and the
driven gear f., that is, the gear at
tached to the propeller shaft, of the
same diameter and number of teeth,
then the gear Il will have had to move
in the direction of the arrow 3, or
backward for two revolutions. (The
teeth of both gears will touch three
times, but because + is rolling around
Il, T. will make only two revolutions)
Thus for each revolution of the gear
Il, and, therefore, propeller shaft. the
flywheel and engine will have to make
two revolutions and the speed ratio
will be 2 to 1.
Now the driven gear f and It's
driving gear f must be the same, for
both the slow speed forward and the
reverse drive. For forward drive we
assume that the driven gear had
sixty teeth and its driving gear forty.
How will this affect the speed rauo
OF the reverse as above. 1t will in
crease the ratio.
AS the forty -toothed gear makes
three revlutions, It will come in con-
tact with 120 teeth of the sixty

LIFT YOUR CORNS
OFF WITH FINGERS

Tells How to Loosen u Tender Corn
or Callus So 1t Lifts Out With.
out Pain.
You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who
have at least once a week invited an
awful death from lockjaw or blood
poison are now told by a Cincinnati
authority to use a drug called free
zone, which the moment few drops
are applied; to any corn or callus the
soreness is relieved and soon the
entire corn or callus, root and all,
lifts off with the fingers.
Freezone dries the moment it is
applied, and simply shrivels the corn
or callus without infaming or even
irritating the surrounding tissue or
skin. A small bottle of freezone
will cost very little at any of the
drug stores, but will positively rid
ones feet of every hard or soft
corn or hardened callus. If your
druggist hasn't any freezone he can
get it at any wholesale drug house
for you.-Adv.
