SPRING RATTLE.

After the car has been in continu-
Gus service for long period, a GER
tam amount Of wear develops in the
spring bolts. since the action of the
springs is constant. This wear re-
suits in a most annoying rattle,
which is especially noticeable in GO
ing over rough places. 1t may gen.
orally be removed by wrapping thin
sheets of metal around the bolts and
then replacing them in their mount
ings in spring and bracket. OF course
the best way is simply to discard a
worn set of spring bolts and replace
them by new ones.

VALVE CARE.

The principal disadvantage
charged against the valve-in-head
motor. especially those of the valve
cage type. is the difficulty of prop
erly cooling the valves. This diff
flculty is not pronounced in the
case of the inlet valves. because the
incoming gas is cool and keeps the
valves fairly cool, but it does mean
that the exhaust valves will need
frequent grinding. In many cage
type motors the cages must be
watched to see that they do not
turn around and thus cut of the
inlet or exhaust.

CARE OF BEARINGS
LENGTHENS life
Among Mechanical Parts They Are
Efficient and Hard Working.

Among the minor mechanical
parts of the modern motor car. the
bearings are about the most efficient
and hard working. In addition to
the normal burdens that they are
called upon to bear. the bearings
generally have to stand for q Ia
mentable amount Of passive abuse
from the car owners. It Is not that
said owner does them any active
injury. but simply that he fails to
give them the care they need to
keep them performing their work
as they should and viii IL given q
chance.
Bearings may be divided into
three main classes, plain. ball and
roller, the names in themselves de-
scribing the types with considerable
accuracy. These various types of
bearings have fairly distinct fields
of usefulness. The first class Of
plain bearings is used for engine
erankshafts and connecting rods on
practically every American motor
vehicle. In European practice ball
bearings have been somewhat used
for this service. but the idea has
never gained a permanent place in
American design. Modern plain
bearings consist OF a cylinder open
at both ends and split down the
sides The cylinder is usually of
bronze composition with a lining of
babbitt, a soft metal. on which the
rotating shaft rests. The babbitt
and bronze are locked together be-
yond danger of being loosened.
grooves are generally cut in the
babbitt to permit of even distribu-
tion OF oil. These plain bearings
are commonly used as supports for
the crankshaft and for the connect
ing rods lower ends.
OIL Saves Bearings.
Obviously. complete and copious

of this kind. II oil is not present.
the shaft rotating at high speed
against the metal. generates heat
because of the friction and the soft
metal is quickly melted, the bear
ing seizes and the car owner Is In
for trouble.
Frequently some of these plain
bearings will become a little worn,
that is the shaft gains a little play
and the result is a knock When a
knock develops in the connecting
rod bearing. this may be taken up
by means OF shims so as to elimi-
nate the play of the shaft and con-
sequently cure the knock. Shims
are strips of metal fitting between
the halves of the bearing. which
may be filed down. so as to permit
the bearing to be made just a little
smaller. Another type of shin,
known as a laminated one. is made
in a number of layers and the re-
moval of one or more of the leaves
takes up the bearing.
There is another type of plain
bearing. which consists of a simple
bronze cylinder without the soft
metal lining. These are sometimes
called bronze bushings. and they
are generally used at the top of the
connecting rod. in the clutch, on
the brake pedal etc.
The second class OF bearings. ball
bearings. consists of steel balls re-
vOlving between two holders or
races. For iexibility and ease of
operation the ball bearing Is far in
the lead. and is used wherever
these qualities are the principal
need. Ball bearings also have the
advantage of consuming very little
Of the power passing through them.
