EXPERT TELLS OF REPAIR
FOR CONNECTING RODS
How to Get Home When Bush
ina Burns Out.

How to get home when connect
ing-rod bushing has been burned
uut from lack of oil and no replace
ncnt is obtainable sounds like n
considerable problem, but a recent
nNperience of the writer's shows that
il can be done. says n. Ludlow
Clayden, in Motor Life"
Tho first symptom of truble was .
Lnock which to the practiced EAR
told the source of the trouble.
Driving very slowly, n garage four
miles distant was reached and ha;t
IN hours work sufficed to drop the
oil pan and discover the babbit lining
pt one connecting rod in small frag-
mcnts. To give the honor where
u is due, 1t should be stated that
The garage in question was Bogle's
~ Scroon Lake, y. Y. There, de-
spite n good collection of spare
bushings, nothing could be found to
tit--the car was an old model How
ever, Mr.. Boyle suggested that by
putting a piece of stout leather in
place OF the vanished bushing, II
might be possible to make Lake
George, thirty-five miles away, and
30 reach a machine shop. No sooner
suggested than tried; in another
hour the leather was in place and
llc tHGiuc shioo'h
ever. The thirty-five mile run was
made with a>miximum speed Of ff-
teen miles an hour, and in considera-
able fear and trembling, but without
any untoward happening.
Next morning the oil pan was again
taken off, but again it was found i'm
possible to find replacement or
make one-it being Sunday. But the
leather looked as if it liked its job,
it was nicely polished, nodded to n
perfect fit in the cap and there was
no feelable shake in the bearing.
New York, 200 miles away, was the
destination, and the run made at an
average running speed of twenty-five
miles an hour. The only care taken
was never to exceed thirty miles, or
100 revolutions of the engine.
Arriving home. the motors opera
ton was still all that could be de-
sired, and circumstances calling for
yet another run Of 100 miles, TINS.
TOO, was made on the leather bear
ing. In all. total OF just about 400
miles was covered.
To give a little more detail OF the
lifting; the leather was cut to exact
ly fit the circumference of the con-
Meeting rod, but about half an inch
wider. Then removing all shi.ns, the
bolts were drawn up dead tight.
This caused the projecting edges OF
leather to turn up and so mold
themselves into the shape of the col
lars that always exist at either end
of a bushing.
Care was taken not to speed up the
engine, because at low speeds the
load on the cap of the conn ecting-
rod Is not very great, since there is
pressure above the piston on all bus
the suction stroke. II high speeds
we're attempted. however. the liner ia
at piston comes into play seriously.

car liz less than it was b fore the
accident. this depreciation is an adj
ditional element for which the motor
list is entitled TO damages.
In another case just decided in
Utah the court rules that if a motor
list uses his machine for busiT ess jur-
poses, and the car is damaged through
the negligence of another motor st,
the former is entitled to damages for
the loss of the use Of his car while
it is being repaired, as well as for
the expense incurred in making re-
pairs. The claimant here was a sal s.
man, and used the car in making his
rounds. Expense incurred in hiring
another car was decided to be a
proper element of damage to be re-
covered by him.
If car is used only for pleasure
and recreation, the above rule does
not apply. Only the actual dam ge
done to the car can be recovered in
such cases.
In recent New York case a motor
deliveryman lost a trunk intrusted to
him. Subsequently he paid the owner
for it. Some time later the trunk was
found, but the deliveryman refused
to give II up until the money paid
the owner was returned. The court
decided that the owner was entitled
to his trunk, irrespective of the re-
turn of the money. While the de-
liveryman was entitled to sue for the

FAN BELT SHOULD Be
KEPT IN GOOD ORDER
Avoid Grease or 0iI-See That
PuIIeys Are in Line.

The proper working of the fan at
any engine speed, and hence the sue.
ton OF the right amount OF air 70
cool the water IN the radiator. says
Buick, depends solely on the fan
belt. It is, therefore, important that
the fan belt be kept in good working
order.
When installing a fan belt, the first
thing to do is to see that the pulleys
are in line. This may be determined
by placing d straight edge across the
face of both pulleys at the same time
If the pulleys are out of their proper
place, the upper pulley may easily
be adjusted.
BY loosening the fan spring tension
and allowing the fan to drop to It's
lowest position, the belt may be
worked around the crankshaft pulley.
1t is always advisable to place the belt
in position by hand, never using sharp
tools for this purpose.
Tho next step Is to raise the fan
until the belt is tight; then turn down
the spring tension adjustment nut
With this done, in order to determine
the proper tension on the belt, press
on the blades of the fan with the nm
gers The fan should turn easily, yet
not spin. The spring tension should
be adjusted to give this result.
More fan belt trouble results from
belts being too tight rather than too
loose. A belt that is too tight has a
endency to draw one of the pulleys
out of line, causing the belt to run

self. With the proper tension in the
belt, there should be no appreciate
wear in either belt or pulleys.
Though 1t may be almost needIc ss
to say it here, grease or oil on the fan
belt pulleys should be avoided, since
either Of them is bound to cause slip

in the cooling efficiency OF the belt
itself. Even :he best fan belt will
stretch, hence the necessity for occa-
sional examination.-Motor Life.
