DODGE BROTHERS AVOID
FAULTS IN MATERIAL S

Much has been said OF the great
care used by Dodge Brothers in Sc
lecting materials, but there is still a
great deal to be told OF the tests to
which all material is subjected.
For instance, all brass and bronze
used in Dodge Brothers cars is care
fully tested to ascertain the amount of
copper and lead and IL the quantity is
such that it might prove injurious,
the entire consignment Of metal is re.
jected.
The method OF determining the ''un.
desirable elemelds" is similar to the
ordinary electropiating. The brass or
bronze under test is dissolved in acid
and into this solution are placed two
electrodes, consisting of platinum
gauzes. A direct current is applied
and the resultant electrolytic action
causes the COPPER to be deposited on
one gauze and the lead on the other.
The weight Of the deposit is then de.
termined by an extremely delicate set
OF scales Platinum electrodes are
used because platinum is immune to
the chemical acton taking place dur
ing the electroJlating. Incidentally, 1t
might be mentioned that the little
gauzes weigh considerably more than
an ounce-and that platinum these
days is worth from $3.50 to 81 a
gramme-and that there are %
grammes. of course, to the ounce.

TRANSMISSION GEARS APPARENTLY
NFNAL STAGE Of development

ton now is required for shifting, and
the distance OF movement has been
reduced so thar the expenditure OF
energy on the whole is considerably
less than In previous years. The sta.
tionary counter-shaft seems to be used
10 a greater extent than previously
and either plain bushings or straight
roller bearings are employed within
the cOuntershaft as rule.
Devices Prevent Meshing ...
.nteTlockfng devices designed 10 pre-
vent meshing more than one gear
Ct . tislfe are most generally used, the
methods OF construction differ some
what. Most OF them use plungers
which are pressed on the shifting rod
by means Of spring and slip into
nctches when the gears are in mesh.
Development of multiple-cylinder
engines has rendered the four-spaced
gearset practically unnecessary, ex.
eept as an additional refinement of a
touch Of luxury and only a few OF the
high priced cars are supplying more
than three speeds. This applies to the
passenger cars For truck use, how
ever. the fourspeed gearset is becom-
ing exceedingly popular particularly
in 3 IL and 5-ton trucks. Where the
fcur-speed is employed on passenger
cars il nearly always provides a gear
ratio higher than direct.
AS TO the types OF the gears them
selves there seems 10 be considerable
difference OF opinion among the gear
set manufacturers as to what pitch or
width OF face gives the quietest and
most efficient operation. One concern
employs a gear of finer pitch and mar.
rover face as less likely to become
noisy, holding that distortion is un-
avoidable during the hardening pro
cess when applied to gears with wide
face.
Ease of disassembly and assembly
has been one of the important aims of
the gearset designer for some time
and during the past year number of
concerns have made slight improve
ments in this particular, one of the
most salient Of which is the practise
OF having all the parts assembled out
side Of the case so that they go in as
a unit and may be removed in the
same way. With the now almost uni.
versal central location for the gear.

control members are neatly and con-
veniently mounted on the cover rlate
Of the gearset housing. which still
further simplifies the task of disas.
sembly. Another factor In this situa-
tf0n and one which simplifies to a
great extent the matter of replace
ments, not to mention its accompany
Ing reduction of expense in case of
repair, etc, is the increasing adoption
OF separate units in the gearset
which can be easily removed. Thus
IN case of stripping the teeth of one
gear or some similar mishap, the car
owner is not obliged to replace a
arge part OF his gearset at consider

In the olden DAYS OF Dobbin.
The foregoing was sent to the Kis-
sci Motor Car Company By q poetic
physician of the Middle West who was
asked a few questions about the bene-
fits derived by his profession gener-
ally, and himself particularly, from
the use Of the automobile.
1t was simply one way OF saying
what nearly everyone OF the many
physicians driving Kissel Kars said
In one way or another-th the COM
ing OF the automobile had made the
horse impossible to the ambitious
practitioner. iii"
There was, according to the report
from the Kissel factory, very large
response to the invitation TO medical
men to express themselves and there
was no dissent at all from the gener.
ally expressed opinion that the auto
mobile was positive necessity to the
modern man OF medicine.
Nearly all spoke Of their ability to
cover more territory more speedily
than in the old days, the less expense
of tTayel per mile than formerly, and
the better results attained in suceor-
ing life and health by reason OF quick
er and more frequent calls. One phys
ician ascribed the saving of 10 pa
tients directly to his car declaring
that by no other means of convey
ance could they have been reached in
time 10 avert q fatality.
Special praise for the all-year car
was added by large percentage OF
the replies. "Kissel did big thing
for the doctor Dy originating this
practical and presentable idea," wrote
one. The physician who drives an
open car in winter is handicapped Elm
his work by the personal discomforts
which he suffers. Yet to many the
financial burden of owning and caring |
for two cars, an open and closed one,
is excessive. Tou obyiated the me-
cessity Of it without sacrificing the
dignity of the owner or the refine
meat and completeness Of the car

IF Goodyear Cord Tires were
l merely strong, or merely flex-
IDLE, they would be much less
notable. Many tires are strong.
Many tires are flexible. But few,
mighty few, tires are strong and
flexible both. Goodyear Cord
Tires are. That is why they ride
easier, go farther, last longer, and
cost less in the end.
The proper travelling companion for a
Goodyear Cord Tire is a Goodyear
Tube. A tube built to hold air, and keep
on holding it. A tube that won't leak,
seep or creep-that makes the casing
deliver its full store of service.
All Goodyear Service Station Dealers
there's probably one in your neighbor-
hood have Goodyear Tires and Tubes.
All are trained and eager to see that
you get out Of them the final mile we
have built into them. All are interested in
your return from your tire investment
and keep interested after the purchase.
