While the accepted function OF
the breather is to allow excess pres
sure to escape from the crank case
and also to offer an opening for the
insertion of lubricating oil this de-
vice also permits the entrance OF
considerable amount of dirt and grit

breather with a piece of fine brass
screen which will exclude most OF

get wire basket, which Will mt

to hold the kerosene, place the
parts in this basket. dip them in the
oil and allow the dirt to be loosened
and sink to the bottom, while the
parts come out perfectly clean and
ready for use.

1t is a difficult matter to locate
broken wire in an ignition cable,

the wire, the compass VIII DC uSIleNt
ed from its normal position in one
way or the other. 4 broken wire
will have no effect on the instru-
ment. which thereby acts as de-
tective.
