ALL ABOUT SPARK PLUGS
Inside Information on Important Part of Ignition System

whereby the plug has received a knock
with wrench in installation or
through too great pressure being put
on it with the wrench. 1t is often i'm
possible to detect a crack in the in
sulator with the eye, as the crack may
be In a portion of the insulator that
is out Of sight. The best way to detect
a suspected crack is by dismantlng
the plug, or if that is not possible by
laying the plug on the cylinder head
with the cable attached. In this way
when the engine is cranked it is easy
to see whether there is good spark.
Another trouble commonly encoun-
teted with plugs is fouling, which
means that the electrode ends and the
bottom of the insulator become car
bombed, with the result that a short
circuit is formed, the current passing
| through the carbon instead of jump
! ing the gap. Electric current always
| follows the line OF least resistance.
This formation of carbon is usually
due to the presence of oil, which is
splashed on the plug. In most plugs
the ground electrode is formed in a
! hook shape. so as to let any oil that
may be splashed on it run away from
the gap.
When plugs become carbonized, the
best remedy is to soak them in kero-
sene and then scrape with a knife or
stiff wire brush. Care must be taken
not to roughen the insulating material.
as this induces further deposits of
/ carbon. Chronic plug fouling will prob
ably be found to be caused by leaky
/ piston rings, too much oil, too thin an
oil, worn or pitted cylinders, or any
of the other causes of oil pumping.
| Care must be taken to have the
spark gap, the space between the two
electrodes, properly distanced. This
gap will vary somewhat with differ
ent engines, but it Is important to get
the correct distance and keep it. Too
narrow a gap will make weak spark,
! while if the gap is too wide there may
not be current enough to send the
spark across at all. 1t is easy to ad-
just the gap by bending tse ground
electrode slightly.
1t is a good plan to squirt n little
oil on the plugs, to see If any bubbles
show, for if they do it means lost COM
preston. The gasket is a potential
source of compression loss, and in
cases where this trouble exists, the
gasket will probably be found to be
dirty, worn or otherwise out of proper
condition.
The car owner should take care al
ways to get the proper plugs for his
engine. After a satisfactory make and
| length has been found, stick to that
one. Never throw plugs into the tool
box, unless they are protected from
! knocks that will fracture the insulat-
ors or otherwise injure them. Incl
dentally, replace worn or broken parts
of the plugs rather than buy new ones
every time trouble develops. That Is
common sense and conservation.

CORD TIRES CLAIMED
TO INCREASE POWER

An observing person will notice on
the various automobiles on the street
high percentage of tires of cord con-
struction. This percentage, growing
each year in original equipment Is an
allied by w. T. Powell acting district
manager of the b. +. Goodrich Rubber
company's San Francisco bcanch.
Almost from the beginning Of pneu-
matte tire manufacture, designers have
been striving toward a construction
which would at one time deliver the
maximum amount of the engines pow
er, be resilient to the highest degree,
and be long lived" said Powell. This
Is natural ideal toward which the
tire designer should strive, because of
the tire itself being so essential an item
TO the all around efficiency of the car
not only adding comfort, but mini
MIXING vibration which would have to
he carried by the springs, and which,
in the absence of pneumatic tires,
would be carried through to the me-
chanism of the car, so the car, could
not hold together nearly so long.
POWER LOSS THROUGH TIRES.
Comfort, minimizing of vibration,
and delivery of an added amount of
power from given engine, could be
accomplished only by the use of tire
constructed as is the present day
cord. Automobile engineers have found
that so per cent of the power gener-
ated by the motor is lost before 1t is
delivered in the form of speed. Much
of this power loss is through the tires
themselves. Cord tires reduce this loss
to n minimum. Cars equipped with
cord tires have negotiated steep hills
in high that fail on the same hill with
fabric equipment. This has been
teal demonstration of the additional
power cord tires give a car.
There is no question that the cord
constructed tire is most efficient. 1t
may be said to add tone to the car,
the car rides easier; 1t will coast far
Their; it will consume less gasoline; 1t
will steer easier, and can pick up
quicker.
"As constructed during the last few
years. it actually has demonstrated
marvellous strength When automo-
bile racing was at it's height, it was
found that only the cord tire could de-
liver the speed and stand up under the
severe treatment that the racing driver
must give any tire equipment he Is
using.
OF COURSE COST MORE.
..On account of the greater cost Il
necessarily has sold at a price in ex-
cess of that charged for straight IA

CO-DESlGNER OF LIBERTY
MOTOR PRAISES CADILLAC

Before the armistice was signed,
word of Cadillac service overseas be-
gan to reach this country; and since
November, scores of soldiers, of both
high rank and humble, have added
their enthusiastic praise to what has
already been said.
one of the latest of these messages
received by the Cadillac company
comes from one of the designers of the
Liberty engine, Lieutenant Colanel E.
J. Hall Lieutenant Colonel Hall served
as chief of the technical section Of the
air service abroad, and also as an as
sociate engineer of the aircraft pro-
duCtion board. He has now returned
from France to his business at Berke-
ley. Cal. His letter says:
From my observations, l believe the
Cadillac cars abroad gave better ser
vice than any other make in France.
personally used Cadillac cars practi-
cally in all my travelling to and from
the front and on the front during my
stay abroad. This work was during
bad weather and generally averaged
from IA to 16 hours a day, and most of
the driving was done around an aver
age of 40 miles an hour. l was never
held up on car trouble at any time.
Furthermore, | never saw a Cadillac
in France that was tied up for any
trouble of any kind. Many officers
would delay their trips until they could
get Cadillacs, whereas there were
many other makes of foreign and
American cars available. believe you
have reached practically the limit of
service that car can give. I could
not recommend any improvements.
