Though the characteristic lines

ANSWERS TO QUERIES

When they say that car has . unit
power plant. what do they meant
find this term used in the automobile
page and I don't understand IT.
Greet.
The term unit power plant 10 used
to describe the construction wherein
the motor and gearset housings are
integral. Other constructions make
the gearset a unit with the differential
housing on the rear axle or give It a
separate location midway between the
motor and the rear axle.
Ny car has Just gone to the repair
shop to have a set OF broken timing
gears replaced. The relative costliness
OF the proceeding leads me to ask you
what causes breaking Of timing gears.
r. Van A
1mperfections In the metal may
cause timing gears to break and 30
may misalignment, due to improper
installation or the warpage of the
gears. This latter condition may be
induced by running without oil or In

By PERCY FOSTER,

Commercial Manager Of sterrett q Fleming.

the upholstering Of Detroit Electrics.
Only the finest grade Of whipcord

and convenience for miladi. The up
holstery IL deep and luxurious and
10 ffuffed over springs made from
the finest steel. These are banded
together in units, each containing

the Detroit Electric also represents
the utmost luxury. Twenty-ttree
coats OF paint and varnish are ap-
piled to every body and in addition
there Is q coat Of special varnish
which gives the bright luster to the
smooth color Of the finish. The lamps,
