USE GEAR SHIFT
ON STEEP HILLS
Using intermediate or Even
First on Hills Will Prolong
the Life and Efficiency of the
Motor.

Perhaps YOU have wondered why II
was necessary to change speed gears
on a hill. 1t may be you have thought
II useless custom and have tried to
take the hills on high. regardless OF
what it dc es to your motor. If so,
pause long enough TO learn the why of
speed gears on the car, and the reason
why second, or even first speed, is
necessary in hill climbing. 1t may
save you fuel and upkeep charges
A gasoline engine does not operate
EFFICIENTLY at low speed; to get econ
omical power it must be run at COM
ratively high speed. on q heavy
grade or n sandy road it is not speed
but power that is needed and if the
engine does not develop 1t under the
slowed down conditions OF the grade
or heavy road, it follows that the motor
must ne speeded up and run at high
speed The only way to accomplish
this is 10 Introduce n device which Will
permit the engine to run at normally
high speed to develop the power and
to transmit this power to the road
wheels at a lower speed This device
is called the transmission gear set
This gearset is merely an arrange
ment of gears on parallel shafts which
permits n selective meshing at varying
ratios so that without decreasing the
engine speed Il lower speed is trans
mitted to the drive shaft. Most per-
sons arc familiar with the principle of
reducing speed by gears in machinery.
The gear set usually is arranged for
three speeds, low, intermediate and
high forward, as well as reverse. The
high speed gear is known also as the
direct drive, which means that the
propeller shaft leading from the trans
mission case to the rear axle, is di-
rcCtly connected to the engine shaft
and makes the same number of revo-

WINTER MOTORING
THROUGH MOUNTAINS

Winter cross-country driving is the
latest motoring fashion. This season a
number OF families have toured to
California in their cars, using the
Sedan instead of the touring car, and
among the most interesting trips was
that made by Fl. c. Mahon of Kansas
City.
Mr. Mahon drove a sedan from Kan
sas City to Orange, California, short
ly before the Christmas holidays. He
reports that in the journey of 1910
miles, the average per gallon of gaso-
line was Is miles. There were five
grown people, two children and more
than 25 pounds of baggage. Muddy
roads, snow and ice were among the
difficulties encountered during the
trip, but the sturdy bort came through
without n hitch.

RATIO OF GEAR

The intermediate speed gear will
probably give about two revolutions
of the motor shaft to one of the pro-
peller shaft, while the low speed ratio
is three or three and one-half to one.
The reverse gear is usually Il triflc
slower, or about four to one. These
figures will vary in different cars, but
are approximately correct.
Besides the transmission gear re-
duction, there is a reduction at the
rear axle, through the differential
gears, ranging from 81 to 81, with
the usual figure not far from Az L;
that is, the propeller shaft makes Az
revolutions to each one revolution of
axle and road wheels.
Probably it will give some idea Of
how the power is increased by chang
ing to a lower speed if we take as an
example car with four-cylinder
engine, with wheels equipped with ga
inch tires and with n reduction at the
pear axle of Az to l. With 34-inch
tires the car Will travel forward ap-
proXimately nine feet with each revo-
luton. If the car is being driven on
high speed gear, for each nine feet of
travel on the ground the engine shaft
IRE two power impulses to each shaft
revolution of a four-cylinder engine,
there will be nine power impulses, or
one per foot.
Changing to the intermediate speed
gear and assuming that its reduction
IS Is to 1, in addition to the 4la re-
duction at the differential, n total Of
81, there will be sixteen power i'm
nearly two per foot This should make
1t clear that by shifting the gears and
increas sing the number of power i'm
pulses we have nearly doubled the pull
ing force eXerted.
On the low speed gear, with a re-
duction ratio of 80 and the Ala re-
duction on the rear axle, total ratio
of 141a to l is obtained, which gives
20 power impulses for each feet, or
more than three per foot.
1t should be plain from this that in
climbing a hill where the grade is SO
steep that the motor cannot make it

HOW TO FIGURE THE. TON
MILEAGE OF YOUR TRUCK

Do you know how to figure the ton
mileage Of your motor truck?
If not simple and accurate method
is here disclosed by w. T. Powell San
Francisco manager of the B. f. Good
rich Rubber company Before arriv-
ing at the cost of truck operation it is
essential to have the ton mile figure
for comparison with the average daily
cost of operation. Such a system will
allow the owner to compare the oper-
ating cost of one make of truck with
another, and as well, truck haulage
with horse and wagon delivery.
There are two classes of units used
for measuring truck haulage. One is
the absolute ton-mile while the other
is the commercial ton-mile They
should not be confused.
The absolute ton mile is similar to
that used in figuring railroad freight
mileage. Because of the various sys-
TENS of delivery, contingent on stops
and loads to be dropped enroute, what
is called the commercial ton mile is
adopted as a standard of measure
ment. The absolute or railroad ton
mile is one ton carried one mile; thus,
one ton carried five miles equals five
ton miles. and five tons carried one
mile also equal five ton miles. Sim
ilarly, five tons carried three miles
makes fifteen ton miles.
Absolute ton miles should be figured

CRUSADERS GAVE CADILLAC
CAR A STRANGE DEVICE

Due to the ever-growing popularity
OF Cadillacs, the shortage on these
motor cars still continues to exist, be-
cause of the fact that orders are be-
ing received faster than the factory
can possibly make deliveries. The re-
suit is that the Sharman Automobile
company, distributors of Cadillacs
and Oaklands, are greatly oversold on
cadillac cars, with no prospect of
immediate relief in sight.
There are many little details about
Cadillac car that arouse interest
and speculation, among them being
the heraldic arms of Antoine de la Mo-
the Cadillac, used as the radiator
emblem.
According to Manager C. A. Good
win, experts in heraldry have decided
that this emblem had its origin in the
crusades.
The first and fourth quarters OF
the shield are gold" said Mr. Good
win, divided by a black TESS or latral
band. Each quarter contains three
'merlettes or small bords, two above
and one below the Tess These guar
tiers are the arms of the De la Mothe
family.
The 'merlettes' legless and without
beaks, are a heraldic adaptation of the
martin; appearing in threes they have
a holy significance, being considered
sacred to the trinity. They were
granted to knights by the ancient
school of heralds, together with the
fess,' for valiant conduct in the cru
sades. The birds, black against a

ROUGHING 1T IN AN
ENCLOSED AUTOMOBILE

Determined to prove, for his own
satisfaction at least, that the properly
constructed enclosed car is as practi"
cable for touring purposes as a tour
list model, Louis NJ Stellmann, of the
Franklin Automobile company's en-
cheering staff, took n new Franklin
sedan with a brand new motor over
trip of go miles of the toughest go
ing he could find. He returned to
the factory with the car in as perfect
condition as when he left and the mo-
tor going better every mile.

made, that is, when one truck carries
the same load over the same distance.
BY simply multiplying the number Of
miles covered by the number of tons
carried the owner can easily deter
mine the cost per ton mile by the adj
ditional operation of dividing the nv
erage daily ton mileage into the aver

These figures are indispensable In
keeping an accurate account Of deliv-
cry expense and profit.

If not this is a good time to

Most kitchens are cluttered with
tools seldom or never used-w1th

1t is surprising with how few

treasures of a good housewife-and
spatula is the ideal tool for scrap
