The final records Of the Overland

negotiated a,26ss miles with an av-
erage Of tWenty-six and four-fifths
miles per gallon, of gasoline. This
car was operated continuously night
and day for seven days over the
streets of the National Capital and
nearby Maryland.
All kinds of weather conditions
were encountered with no readjust-
ments to any part of the machine.
The total number of gallons of gaso-
line consumed was 1901 gallons. The
drivers of the car were divided into
shifts of eight hours each. They
were salesm en- connected with the
staff of the Harper-Overland Com
pany, local distributors for the Over
land car. They were: Bert Robert

speed which all drivers Of new cars

the car was considerably abused. due

Engine Backfires at High Speed.

c.. A. G. asks: What. causes an
engine to backflre and miss when it is
running at high rate of speed with
wide-open throttle? 1t IS I'd elective
carnuration or ignition?
Answer: BackfiriHE afnto sthe car
buretor is generally the result Of a
d do1 lean mixture. theks1stihc cause
used. 1t may be the. auxiliary afr
valve sticks open or that its spring
IS too weakly adjusted. In double
jet carburetor the secondary jet may
not come into action properly. In a
carburetor with 1netering pin for. the
gasoline this may mot open at a rapid
enough rate as throttle lis. opened.
Any carburetor with insufficient fuel
feed from the tank or a partially OBJ
structed spraying may back
fire at high speeds. Lack of heat
around the manifold may also result
in too weak mixture. Missing at
high speeds is likely to occur if the
spar plug gaps are too wide. II there
are cracked porcelains or If the timer
makes uncertain or too short con-
facts. Leaks in the secondary wir-
ing may also cause it.

Treatment of Reversed Battery.

B. NJ. NJ. writes: Recently I left
my battery at garage to be charged
and they charged it in the wrong
direction. If I discharge it by turn
ing on the car lights and then have
it recharged in the right direction
will it be injured by the treatment
which it has received? -
Answer: If you attend to this bat
terry at once, we behave that 1T can
be brought up all right. We should
advise. however, that. instead of dis
charging through the lights you take
it to a charging station and have
them put in on charge. in the right
direction at very low rate--say
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1919-11-23

four amperes. for a battery of the
usual size. At first. the effect will be
to discharge it, but after time it
will begin to build up, its normal di-
rection. The low rate of charge may
have to be kept up for nearly a week
to bring up the gravity to normal
and otherwise to put the battery in
its original condition. We are assum-
ing that it was in good condition
when the mistake was made. but II
this is not the fact and Its, conditi6a
was NOT good when the accident o.
cured there may be some doubt as
to how completely recovery will take
place. =, :. h., :.

spark, is to occur che discharged will
naturally take place at thes shorter
gap-that at the safety spark points.
If there were no such safety gap pro-
vided. the spark would be likely to
jump through the insulating material
of the coil winding, thus running the
coil by forming; short circuit The
safety gap is usually inside the coil,
where it cannot be seen.
Questions of general interest to
motorists will be answered in this

Turning Radius Too Great.

V. H. M. writes: The new car
which 1 have, will not turn in as
short q space as my old one, aithough'
it is no longer between the axleS
Is there anything that can be done
Ia overcome this defect? ~ J
Answer: You better inspect the
ate ering gear and see what 1t is that
limits the extent to which the front
wheels can be turned from the
straight ahead position in both d.
rections. If the front wheels now
turn until one Of them almost strikes
the steering connection rod. its mud
ruard shield or some other part. you
will have to put up with existing con-
ditions. However, on very many cars
there is a steering-stop on each side,
which limits the road wheel angle.
These stops are usually carried by
the axle ends and the knuckle arms
strike them, and thus restrict the
wheel movement. Generally the stops
are adjustable, and If you find that
at is the stops that now define the
steering angle and that some more
movement, is allowable. you can let
up" on the stops and obtain 1t. &. =
