HOW TO HEAR HEART
BEATS OF YOUR MOTOR

II is not very difficult matter to
construct an instrument that will
enable the owner to listen to the very
heart beats of his motor and find out
what ails II. One way is to secure
a stethoscope such as is used by
physicians in listening to the beating
of the patients heart and the work
ing OF his breathing apparatus. TIL Is
may be made suitable to the purpose
by lengthening the central tube. The
other end of the device may then be
held against any part OF the motor
without the necessity OF removing the
receivers from the ears.
Another scheme is to secure from
the junk man or local telephone COM
pany telephone receiver body into
the closed end of which is screwed a
steel rod SIG inch in diameter and
about Is inches long. The rod should
be threaded for about ll4 inches
from one end and a nut and lock
washer should be used on each side
OF the receiver so as to hold the steel
rod securely in place. When the rod
is held against the engine and the
receiver to the ear all sounds in the
motor are photographed up the rod
so that each bearing or wrist-pin
knock stands out clearly above the
noise OF the operating parts Of the
motor-American Motorist.
