South Amboy Road To Be
Built by Decemb

Plans for one of the most important
road improvements that has been made
in New Jersey since the day of the
automobile were consummated last
week, when, at the suggestion of the
Highways Transport Committee of New
Jersey, composed largely of members Of
the Motor Truck Club of that state.
the United States War Department.
through its ordnance department,
granted an appropriation of $21 900 to
build new road from the southern
end of the Amboy Bridge to Borden
town Avenue, in South Amboy. The
road is to built as a war measure. as
it is absolutely necessary, in order to
continue the motor trucking of supplies
and finished material this winter to
and from the government loading
plants at Morgan station.
The road covers a distance of two
miles, and when it is finished it will
complete a straight stretch of hard
pavement from Newark to the shore

the worst piece of thoroughfare in the
state, has been a missing link in New
Jerseys good roads. 1t Will bring about
the elimination of the notorious "Hole
in the Wall" tunnel under the Penn
sylvania Railroad at the entrance to
South Amboy, the private right of way
of the Pennsylvania running parallel
being adopted for the new route in
stead of the old hole road.
The new construction will be tenn
porary for the winter. and will consist
of a bed CT trap rock, with tar
binder for the surface. 1t is to be
completed before December /, to have
1t down before the SHOWS come. Then
as part Of the agreement by which the
War Department: makes the temporary
improvement. the New Jersey State
Highway Commission has agreed to
take it over and make it part of the
state road system and build a perma-
nent road next summer

Bad Repairing Hurts as
Much as Bad Driving

Motorists who are tired of being
lectured about the harm done to tires
by careless driving will be glad to hear
the blame for premature tire ruin laid
partly on other shoulders.
"While it is true that most of the
tire injuries which come to our atten-
ton have been caused by careless driv-
ing, they have usually been aggravated
by bad repairing" says A. j. PEBBLES,
manager Of the New York Tire Service.
Inc, 1860 Broadway, distributors Of
United States tires.
"A good repair man is as hard to find
as the proverbial snow storm in july.
He must know everything about the com
pick structure of tires; be interested
enough to study the particular injured
tires brought to him and careful in the
work of repairing.
We have found that former workers
IN tire factories who have learned all
the processes make the best repair men,
they know tires as we'll as the expert
who designed them
The simplest form of injury is a
cut, but even this requires careful re-
pairing. First, the cut must be thor
oughly washed and trimmed Unless
this is done the sand works into the
tire and the friction wears away the
rubber and fabric. When the hole has
been filled with rubber scraps the tire
must be heated so the patch is welded
in with the other structure. Otherwise
the patch would come out and leave a
cavity. Finally, the outside patch must
be trimmed SO that the tire will run
smoothly.
Preparing the thread is important.
not only because it improves the ap-
pearance of the tire, but because it
makes smooth running possible. Bump
ing on tire ruins the inner fabric; the
regular and continuous shock breaks
and tears even the strongest body.
when the tire fabric has been seri
ously injured an entirely new section
must be inserted-that is. about eight
inches of tire must be rebuilt. The re-
pair man must exercise as much care
as the workmcn and inspectors in the
factory where the tire was made.
The most important qualification Of
repair man is the ability to judge when
tire is SO worn that the cost of re-
pairing will not be justified by the ad
ditional mileage obtained. Our men re-
ject as beyond repair very few of the
tires that come TO them"

Magnetos Now Standard for
Multiple Cylinder Engines

The Federal Trade Commission has
granted to the Spltdorf Electrical
Company, of Newark, q license under
certain Bosch patents, about which va
rious conflicting notices have appeared
in the press. With view to making
public a correct statement concerning
the matter, G. W. Curtiss, general man
ager Of the Splitdorf Electrical Com
pany, says:
ut is true that the splitdorf Elec-
trical Company has been granted a
sion to use two United States patents
owned by Robert Bosch, OF Stuttgart,
Germany. do not believe these pat
ents have been used 20 any extent by
the Bosch Magnetic Company, of Spring
field. Mass. The Splitdorf company was
ordered to make use of these patents
by the Secretary of War at the drec-
ton of the President OF the United
States, in connection with magnetos for
war airplane purposes. The patents do
not relate in the remotest degree to
the principle of construction embodied
IN the Dixie magnetic, which is made
under numerous United States and for
e'sn patents owned or operated under
by the Spltdorf Electric Company only.
"Thc Bosch patents in question re-
late merely to details, standard prac-
tlce abroad, which the government au-
thorities wanted for the following rea-
sons: Patent 1030817 relates to a bind
ing post for connecting electric cables.
This is a detail of construction com
monty used abroad and with which Eu-
ropean aviators and mechanics arc ia
miliar. Naturally, by Incorporating
this detail in the Dixie magnetic, cables
on foreign magnetos would then readily
interchange with the American product,
and probably for this reason the Split
dorf Electrical Company was instructed
to use this patent.
There are many other ways OF at
taching cable to d magnetic, and some
OF them. covered by Splitdorf patent
applications pending, may even be
preferable to the one shown in the
patent; but, as this was already being
used abroad, it was adopted as standard
here.
"Patcnt 1O14s24 relates to an ignition
system, wherein high tension start
ing magnetic is connected to the main
magnetic in such a way that the start
ing magnetic may be operated by hand
IN order to furnish a starting spark
the spark plugs in the usual manner.
From the distributor of the main mag
neto a cable is connected to the start
ing magnetic and when the latter is
rotated by means of the crank. high
tension current will flow into the dis
trlbutor of the main magnetic where
Il is distributed by means of an
auxiliary brush. located behind >the

usual moving brush of the distributor,
thereby being connected to whatever
cylinder is under compression, and in
no way relating to or interfering with
the functioning Of the main magnetic.
"As soon as the engine has started,
the service magnetic operates in the
usual manner, the hand starting mag
neto being stopped This arrangement
Of using hand starting magnetic is
standard on many foreign airplane en-
gines, and it was desired to have the
American practice conform for the sake
&C uniformity. There are several other
ways Of accomplishing the same results,
and this patent is not vitality essential
desirable for the reason stated
"An improved method is shown in
United States Patent 12609S5, property
of the Splitdorf Electrical Company,
by which method the high tension wiz
ing to the starting magnetic is elimin-
ated and the arrangement simpltied as
compared to the Bosch patent. Split
dorf Electrical Company has manufact-
ured several hundred thousand mag
netos for the Allies since the beginning
OF the war, and its product is now 100
per cent essential. The Dixie magnetic
las been standardized and is being pro-
duced in great quantities to meet the
present emergency, the Splitdorf Elec-
trlcal Company now being the largest
manufacturer Of magnetos in this
country.
In addition to furnishing magnetos
direct from their own factory for war
purposes, the Splitdorf Company has
arranged to permit the Bosch Magnetic
Company, of Springfield, Mass, and the
ERICSSON Manufacturing Company, Of
Buffalo, manufacturers Of the Berling
magnetic, TO make for war purposes
only, and only for the duration of the
war, certain Dixie magnetos under the
Splldorf Dixie patents Therefore. three
source sof supply for the Dixie magnetic
arc available. In addition, the Splitdorf
Company will furnish the necessary
drawings and engineering information
SO that the product of all three fac
tories will be standard, uniform and in
Interchangeable.
The standardized Dixie magnetic
enables one magnetic to be used for
4: ., 8, IL and 16 cylinder engines and
eight and twelve 45-degree cylinders.
with total of only sixteen extra prices
TO make up any one OF the necessary
assemblies. This arrangement. devised
ana dcveloped under the direction of
the Splltdorf Company's chief engineer,
Carl l. Mason. eliminates the necessity
OF having several types of magnetos
ana hundreds Of repair parts therefor
at the supply depots, and marks not
only distinct advance in the art, but
IS q notable example of an all-Ameri-
car contribution to winning the war"
