Do You KnOW
HOW To Control
Your Gas Spark?

Many motorists have a habit of driving
with the spark control lever at full ad-
vance. A little thought and under
standing of what happens in SUCH an
event would be beneficial both for the
welfare Of the car and the driver.
Full advance Of the spark means that
the gas in the cylinder is fired before
the piston has reached the center on It's
upward stroke and therefore has only
a r~etarding effect which lessons the
power, also II Ia a sheer waste of gaso-
line. This power explosion occurring
many hundreds Of times a minute puts
great strain and wear upon the crank;
shaft bearings and connecting rods and
is the direct cause Of the breaking III

It is well known that the battery igni-
ton REQUIRES much more advance 10
give maximum power from the engine
at full speed, and that It also requires
continuous manipulation of the sparN
control lever in order to time the spark
correctly according to the speed OF tho
engine. How many Of the average au-
tomobile drivers do actually properly
control the spark timing while driving !
without a doubt the greatest number OF
them drive continually with the spark
advanced too far, simply because they
do not want to bother with the spark
lever: they want a quick pick up, j.,
II you notice cars going by In crowded
street traffic, you will hear many. Of
the battery equipped cars knock, that
Is, you will actually hear a metaillo
sound from the engine every time they
start or accelerate after slowing down,
simply because the driver leaves his
spark lever on full advance. The effect
Of this on tho main bearings IS highly
injurious, and 1t Is one Of the main
reasons why battery equipped cars nave

COLE ADOPTS new
FEATURE FOR Fights

It is a matter Of common experience
that the grease in the universal Joint,
when heated in the course of a cars
operation. has a tendency to run out
This Ia a natural condition which cannot
be overcome either by the design Of the
universal or the kind OF lubricant used,
Thus, the centrifugal action Of the
Universal has a tendency to whirl the
grease up against the floor boards and
should there be any apertures in them,
the grease Is given an opportunity 70
find Its way into the body Of tho car and
ID the clothing Of the passengers.
In many automobiles the grease Is
thrown through the slot through which
the emergency brake lever travels. Dust
sipes in through this slot also, and ! n
cold weather, a draught Is frequently
To guard against this possibility the
Cole Motor Car company has equipped
the Aero Eight with a small enamel
pIate which has been designed for at
tachment to the emergency brake lever
This small black-enameled plate travels
back and forth with the emergency
bake lever, at all times completely COW

Of this mean that the inside of the
cylinders are becoming covered with
this same deposit and that they will
soon have to be d~ecarbontged?
Answer: In all probability 1t does,
It is likely that considerable oil gets
UP past the pistons and is decomposed
and somewhat ~carbonized by contact
with the hot spark plug shells. Prob
ably too, some of the heavier portions
Of the fuel are affected in the same
way and increase the incrustations. II
these deposits form or the spark plug
shells, there is every reason to believe
that they form on the piston-heads, the
cylinder heads, the valves II the valve
caps. The porcelains are kept clean by
the passage of the spark over them
and by the intense combustion which
takes place there. We anticipate that,
ali too soon, your engine will begin TO
knock and give evidence that it needs
to be cleaned.
