Piston Slap Beaten,
Packard Man Reports
Drilling Hole for Pin to One

Noise. He Saws

Ever SINGS the beginning Of the
automobile industry "piston slap had
existed in safe opscurity, under the
protection Of the major car noises.
How, with the elimination of these
more offensive sounds, the 'piston
slap" was discovered, diagnosed and
finally cured, was told by Milton Tib-
belts, patent counsel for the Packard

Chat tight pistons, that is, pistons
with not more than M or 2-1C00ths
of an inch clearance in the cylinders,
stopped the slap and another 1O0Oth
added to the clearance started it again.
Also, somewhat looser pistons, with
elaborate and expensive heavy spring
piston rings, would sometimes get it.
"Some manufacturers fitted their
pistons tight, with consequent enor-
nous manufacturing loss in working
having their motors stick if taken out
when new and run at high speed.
Others used the heavy rings with the
resultant wear on the cylinders as we'll

the best motors, such as the Packard,
where the manufacturers have OBJ

with rings of ordinary stiffness, with

AC Spark Plugs
Make Fine Record
On Racing Courses
100 Per Cent Efficiency
Claimed After a Year of
Hard Tests on Speedway
and Dirt Tracks of u. S.

On road racing course, speedway and
dirt track AC spark plugs during
the year Of 1919 added many fresh
laurels to their collection garnered
in previous seasons of grueling COM
petition in the realm Of gasoline
scented speed.
The road racing record of AC plugs,
for example, is 100 per cent perfect,
the two events of this character on
the 1919 schedule being won by drivers
depending on such equipment for
sparkling their engines. In the $50
mile Santa Monica race, won by Cliff
all the cars to finish had AC's in
their cylinders, while at Elgin. where
the 3O1-mile classic was revived, AC's
not only rode with Millions triumphant
Duesenberg, but they also finished
second, fourth, fifth and sixth.
In total Of 551 miles of road rae
ing, covered at a grand average of
70.9 miles an hour, these plugs func-
toned without single miss, the
Santa Monica and Elgin victors hav-
ing no ignition trouble Of any kind and
finishing with the same spark plugs
as they had when they started.

speedway victories with AO plugs, es-

miles in capturing the ten-nile race at
Sheepshead Bay, and was deprived of an
opportunity to monopolize the sea-
sons laurels at Uniontown by an &C
cident on the next to the last lap OF
the 225-mile September sweepstakes
when he had winning lead on the
field.
At Indianapolis, where tho 500-mile
international sweepstakes was re.
vived after wartime hiatus of three
years, sixteen Of the thirty-three cars
competing were AC equipped. Eddie
Hearne, who took second money and
drove the first American car to com
plete the run; Ralph De Palma, who
broke all records up to and including
250 miles and captured sixth place
with Packard; Ira Vail and Denny
Hickey, who were eighth and ninth
across the wire without raising the
hoods of their mounts, were the AC
prize winners.

To What Base Uses

The coal strike and the resultant
shortage of factory power gave old
National No. s, winner of the 1912 In

to get into the limelight once more.
The fiywheel Of the car was hooked
