Simultaneous Sparks
 at Plug Points

S. B. asks: Do spark plugs with sev- eral points or with~large parallel spark ing surfaces really pass a number of sparks at exactly the same instant?
 Answer: We doubt it, but we cannot say that we know positively. A plug of this kind, when being demonstrated, all ways appears to be passing a number of simualtenous sparks. but this proves nothing as all discharges occurring with in about one-twentieth of a second would seem to the eye to be simultaneous. In this length or time, however, an engine. running at i200 revolutions per minute, would complete an entire revolution. Our opinion is that the sparks seen under such circumstances are successive and not simultaneous and that, if the image of the discharge were viewed in very rapidly rotating mirror, this would be proven to be the fact

CAUSES OF MISSING

$. R. asks: What are some of the things t}-at make an engine "skip?'' Mine has heen giving me trouble of this kind and l have not yet found the cause of it.
 Answer: Among defects in the ignition stem itself are the following: Cracked, adly adjusted or dirty plugs, short q rcuited or leaky plug cables, loose con- rections to battery, coils, switch, mag reto or interrupter, and breaks in the wires connecting the same; dirty or bad iy adjusted contact points in magneto or attery current interrupter, dirt short eircuiting distributor contacts, weak attery or magneto magnets, burned out

 Answer: We should think that it would have this effect, as it would from layer Of invoatile liquid over the surfaces from which evaporatio takes blaze and some what restrict the passage of alcohol vapor bubbles through it, especially if the oil used be rather viscous.

In January, 1872 the extensive Spring. field works were completed, only to be found too small by 1914, when more than 250 GOO. GOO magnetos were turned out. Ac- Cordingly, the Rushinore Dynamo works was purchased to increase the production ot starting and lighting apparatus. Ex- pansion still continued.

The American Bosch Magnetic corpora ton has taken over the entire holdings and organization of the old company. including the great Bosch works at Springfield, Mass. which comprises 25o 0oo square feet in buildings alone and employs 1500 operatives: also the com plete service and selling system through out the United states, and the entire ownership of all the United States and foreign patents and trade marks under which the old company operated. Ever since the alien property custodian seized the company in May of 1918, the large plant was operated to supply. up to prac- tically 100 per cent of it's capacity the needs of various departments of the United States government in the prosecu- tion of the war. That large output will now be devoted without interruption to the requirements of the American manu- lecturers and public. In addition. the American Bosch Magneto corporation plans to greatly extend it's scope of man ufacture in the field of automobile indus- try.
 From an early date the Bosch Masneto company manufactured electricak- prod ucts of unusually high quality for the automobile and allied fields including ignition devices, such as magnetos and battery systems, lighting generators, etc. In fact. the first Bosch magneto dates back to 1886. although this form of ig- hilton was not adopted by American manufacturers of automobiles until 1905. In the following year, Robert Bosch opened a New York office, and in 19B a four-story building was acquired to meet the demands of the products then made. It is said that about 350 workmen produced 5000 to 1000 magnetos month at that time The next important step in the growth of the Bosch Magneto com pany. the title under which the German concern operated in the United States, was taken in 1911, when ground was broken in Springfield, Mass, for what is how recognized as the most modern and we'll ordered factory in the motor indus try

Well, around 3 o'clock, a young
man was sent to the pit for barbe-
cue, and he brought more brisket
than real meat, whereupon our host,
and chaperone, Mr.. Starks tried his
hand, and you may imagine the re-
suit when one man goes to the pit
to out do the other man, and the
truth is that our host had news

slices of meat with splits, red pepper
and Juice fairly dripping and the
slices smiling in its gravy. The bot
ties OF soda water were brought, the
dining table was set, the ground COW

that White Rock won, however all
were true, for the teams were made
up OF three and therefore all won.
Mr.. Starks said he wished he had

just kept on rubbing himself right

told him to try ammonia in his bath
