FORTY SECONDS FOR Tire Change
BYNEW Method Brings PEACE

On the riE on the other end.
To remove a tire from a wheel the
blunt pointed blade is used to pry up
the edge OF the tire. The collar OF the
ether tool is adjusted on the hub so it
will slide around and the nub on. its
other end is inserted under the edge Of
the tire where il has been pried up
from TIE rim The claw of the first
mentioned tool Is then adjusted on the
shaft Of the other and used as lever.
BY applying this leverage and turning
the heel against il the tire is literal
~ rolled off the rim. The tire can
then be replaced in the same manner
literally rolled back on the rim.
To demonstrate how easily the de-
vice can be manipulated b. a woman.
Mrs G. d.. Hallock takes the tire off
and puts it back on, and her husband
declares he has timed her and that she
can perform the whole operation in 40
seconds. %...".

4.CY[NDERs SHOW GREATEST GAIN
ACKNOWLEDGMENT And OLD MAKES

Just as February has come around
again the question as to the num-
Der of cylinders best adapted for
the automobile engine hobs up.
stimulated to fresh interest by an
nouneements and improvements in
motor design. This question eyokes
another one-as to how the competi-
ton between the four. the six, the
eight, and the l2.cylinder engines
Jared in 1916. Thirty-six new COM
panies entered the automobile manu-
featuring field during the past year,
and their choice as to number or
cylinders for engine may be consid-
cred as indicative Of tendency in
motor design. These are included in
the summary made on this subject.
Al told. the number OF companies en-
braced in the analysis and tallying up
OF cylinder specifications is $50. In
this list are all the manufacturers OF
prominence and some of lesser i'm
pCrtance.
|. OF the $50. IS make tours ex-
clusively: 43. skies exclusively; IL
Fights exclusively, and five, twelyes
exclusively. Sixteen companies are
using both fours and skies, six COM
panies fours and Fights, five COM
panies skies and Fights, two COM
panies skies and twelves. and three
companies fcurs and skies and Fights.
Choice among the new companies
were: Twenty decided on fours, IL on
skies. three on .eights. and one on
twelves. In the totals the fours have
lead over the skies Of 10; the Fights
are 43 behind the skies. Among the
standard companies there has been
less switching from one type of motor
to another than in 1915. One we'll
known company. which went from
fours to skies. put out four again
last wear. and henceforth will install
both sizes Another manufacturer OF
the first importance, who was max
ing tours and skies has added an eight
to his list. A third company, which
was producing both skies and twelves,
announces that it will confine itself
exclusively to twelves.
Certainly no hard and fast eonclu-
sions can be drawn from this analysis.
II can be considered only as an eX-
preston of tendency. AS a rule the
higher-priced, new cars adopted the
multiple cylinders. There is no doubt
that the champions of the tours and
the skies are not content to rest on
any dogmatic assertions as to the
good qualities of these respective
types; they are striving for improve
ments that will give all the flexibility
obtained by the multiple cylinders.
Probably the most notable announce
ment of the Dre-show season was that
of well known company to the effect
that 1t has devised and would install
in its 1917 cars a 16-yalve, foHr-cyl-
inder motor. the increase of valves
being DESTINED to add power and flex-
Utility to the engine. The result will
be watched with interest.
The tendency toward high speed en-
gines continues. Cylinders of smaller
diameter and longer stroke, for
smaller, quicker explosions and more
rapid revolutions, increase in number.
