Cold Weather Starting Method

One precaution will do much to in
sure easy starting in cold weather.
Every time you come in from a drive.
before stopping the engine, shut off
the gasoline at the outlet of the vacu-
um tank or main fuel tank and let
the engine run until it has drawn all
gasoline from the carburetor and
supply pipe. This will prevent the
moisture which accumulates inside
the carburetor and supply pipe from
freezing. This moisture is not water
in the gasoline but condensed by the
cold, just like moisture on the inside
of a window pane. When you con-
slider that ice $50 inch thick will eff
fectually freeze the fuel intake sys-
tenn, the value of this precaution is
evident. 1t is important to remem-
Der to turn on the gasoline, however,
when you wish to start the engine,
making sure to flood the carburetor
at first.

pressed it, which means that it will
satisfy all the present and future
needs of the Christian, meeting eve

The electric vehicle, whether truck

chine. The periodic recharging Of the
storage batteries makes 1t impossible
for the car to travel very great dis
tances from Its base Of supply. for the
charging stations In outlying districts
are few and far between.
The construction Of battery Is COM
paratively simple. 1t consists Of
positive plate (of reddish brown
COLOR and negative plate (of a gray
ish COLOR, separated by a ribbed wood
or hard rubber separator. The frame
work Of a plate, which, In battery
technique, is called a grid, consists Of
lead, and into this the active material
is pressed. The active material is
made up of red lead mixed with proper
chemicals for the positive plate, and
pure lead of a spOngy character for
the negative.
Arrangement Of Plates.
A number of these plates, sufficient
to give the desired amperage, are con-
nected to their respective terminals

This causes evaporation. and the cleo.

titled water to Its accustomed level.
All wiring on the car should be
periodically inspected for damaged In.
sulation. especially II acid has been
spilled upon It by any mishap, for the
acid eats through the wire insulation
In n very short time. Bear In mind
that the electrical power In battery
is limited, and everything done to con.
serve II will mean saving Of expense
and labor. All movable contacts
should be cleaned frequently, for dirt,
grease, and foreign substances prevent
the controller working properly and
prevent good contact being made,
which wastes current. The gearing
and wheels should be looked over and
creased about once year.
Causes Of Trouble.
Dragging brakes, poor contact. un.
der-infiated tires, also cause surpris-
Ing amount of trouble.
Be sure to keep the battery solution
above the plates. Do not let the tenn
perature exceed 100 degrees Fahrenheit
when charging. Do, not let the battery
stand Idle when discharged. Keep the
battery and all its connections clean.

and put into container or Jar Of hard
rubber. after which dilute sulphuric
acid, and distilled water Is added
which forms the slectrolyte. The pos
tive plate has a negative plate placed
on either side Of II.
The ll0ampere-hour cells, so much
used on business cars, are connected
In series In batteries Of 40 to 10 cells
to secure the full working capacity.
A simple explanation Of battery.
when charging or discharging is that
the positive plate expels or breathes
out the electrolyte on charging and
sOaks up or lnhales It on dlscharging.
This also explains why a battery will
give greater mileage on fresh charge,
losing II when the car Is left In the
garage for any length Of time.
The best way to ascertain the bat
tery's condition Is by the use Of a
hydrometer syringe. A fully charged
cell will read about 1878 to 1900
points and discharged cell around
l,16O.
Common Testing Fault.
A Common fault is to test a battery
