cipie. when applied by American
motorists. SHOULD cut millions of dol
lars from the annual "up-keep"
bills.
The application of this newly dis
covered law Of fabrication" is ex-
planned in q booklet WHICH is being
distributed among engineers and
users of automobiles. motor trucks
and tractors. The technical details
of the experiments which have been
made in order to determine how an
oil should be selected to meet the
action condition of a motor were
read recently before the American
Society OF Mechanical Engiheers.
Mileage Is another term for
wear" the Sinclair Company points
out. because It is conceded that q
certain amount of wear Is bound to
take place under stress of con-
tinued use. 1t Is this degree of wear
which is often overlooked by the
average automobile owner.

will of necessity increase while the

wear in the motor of a car that

civine effulgence for Murphy's spe-
cial benefit.
As a matter of fact. his luck lasted
exactly long enough in the Los An
geles race, his supply of gasoline
running out on the. back stretch
while he was making an extra lap
of the track after crossing the finish
line. Had this happened the lap be-
fore. forcing him to walk to the pits
for fuel, he would still be a novice
instead of the championship con-
tender that he Is today.
Murphy acquired his driving skill
under the tutelage of the veteran
Tommy Milton. an expert in every
trick Of the trade, with whom he
rode as mechanician for several sea-
sons. Milton. with greatest good
sportsmanship, coached Murphy in
everything that he knew, and de-
rives as much satisfaction out Of
his protege's triumphs at Los An
geles as though he had captured the

Indianapolis, Ind. April 3.-Jimmy
Murphy, who flashed from obscurity
INTO fame by winning the inaugural
so0-mile sweepstakes on the Los
Angeles Speedway. has entered the
eighth international 500-mile race on
the Indianapolis Speedway, May 81.
Practically an unknown before the
Los Angeles event, Murphy demon
strated that ne is. entitled to rank
among tho world's greatest drivers
by his showing during this cont Vs.,
which be won at an average Of I0s.2

A brilliant future Is predicted for

Angeles race being on a par with
his driving skill. Content to roll
along within striking distance of
first place through seven-eighths of
the distance, while his adversaries
were setting what Was afterward
proven to be too fast a pace, he
came to the fore during the closing
moments of the contest and there
after was never headed.

least. on such a car. would either
change its spelling from brake to
break or would not stop the car.
For many years the preponder-
ance of practice in this. country
with regard to the placing of
brakes has been to put both the
service and emergency brakes on
the rear hubs in an internal, ex-
ternal combination. In this par
ticular We have differed from the
builders of Europe, who have until
recently stuck consistently. with
few exceptions, to the plan Of
having the service brake act on the
line of power transmission between
the gear box and the rear axle.
Lately. in this country, there has
been slight tendency to go back to
the transmission service brake. 1t
has the advantage OF applying the
braking action through the differ
entail ana thus equalizing the ef-
feet automatically upon both
wheels. Furthermore, 1t does the
braking through the reduction
SedTs OF tne TedT axle Wnlcn gives
the. brake the advantage of in
creased leverage.
Our foreign contemporaries are
now turning their attention again
to front wheel brakes or rather to
braking on all four wheels. A car
with four-wheel braking can be
stopped more quickly than one
braking only on the rear wheels
because when the brakes are ap-
piled on any car the weight which
is normally carried in greater pro-
portion by the rear axle is thrown
to an even greater extent on the
front axle, and consequently taken
of the rear axle, which makes the
front wheel brakes just so much
more effective than their brothers
in the rear. Experience in racing
has amply demonstrated the effec-
tiveness of front wheel brakes
Some OF our American manufac-
turers may be expected to adopt
them soon.

Water Leaks.

When water leakage develops be-
tween the rubber hose and the out
let from the cylinder jacket. or
where the hose joins the radiator
pipe, 1t can be obyiated by wrapping
tho joints with ordinary adhesive
tape. The proper method to follow
is to remove the clamps. tape the
joints and shelac the tape. When
the shcllacs is dry the hose clamps
should be replaced. Be sure that
the clamp draws up in a perfect
circle. II it is out of shape and
will not draw up properly it will
bunch up the rubber hose. so that
leakage will begin again before long.

Handling Spares.

Many car owners have found that
1t is best to give the spare tire an
occasional dose OF work. That is to
say, shift the tires around so that
each one in turn gets a chance to
act the part of spare. Light and
conditions have an ill
effect on rubber and in actual prac-
tice being carried as a spare prob
ably has a more damaging effect on

eral with almost no tensil strength.
The main ingredient of practically
all brake lining today is a long fibre
Canadian asbestos which is spun
into a thread together with some
cotton and fine brass wire and Is
then woven into strips of various
widths and thicknesses. 1t is rolled
under tremendous pressure and i'm
pregnated with a graphite prepara-
tion differing somewhat in the
various makes. II is pressed again
at a temperature of more than 800
degrees Fahrenheit at a pressure of
something like 1000 pounds to the
square inch and when il is finished
il has few characteristics of the
usual woven product but is rather
a solid compact strip of apparently
homogeneous material capable of
being worn down to 'one-tenth it's
original thickness without disin-
tegrating.
We have learned something more
about brakes in the years during
which We had been building cars
than how to line them. We have
learned for another thing that the
size of the brake mas a lot to do
with how long the lining lasts. 1t
seems as IL we should have found
this out sooner than we did but
even today some cars are not fitted
with brakes as large as they might
well be.
Value Of Large Brakes.
With a given car, IL it's brakes
are small, the pressure per square
inch between the band and the
drum must be greater than it would
need be to stop the car in the same
distance IL its brakes were simply
large. Furthermore. there would
be less surface to radiate the heat
generated and consequently a
greater tendency to overhead. All
work or energy is heat in another
form, and in brakink a car the me-
chanical energy, which was gener-
ated from the heat units In the gas
oline by the engine in getting the
car under way and in keeping it
moving, is reconvefted into heat
when the brakes stop the car. 1t
takes almost as much horsepower
to stop a car running at thirty
miles an hour in, say; 125 feet, as it
does to accelerate it to that speed,
in the same distance. The heat
generated when this power is alb
sorbed must be dissipated rapidly
or the brakes burn out.
1t Takes so Horsepower To Stop.
Just to give an idea of how much
the brakes of car have to do ii
can be pointed out that when a car
weighing 1000 pounds and travel
ing at thirty miles an hour is
stopped as quickly as it can be the
work which the brakes must do,
amounts momentarily to no less
than eighty-horsepower The load
on the brakes is, of course. grad
