Operating Without Battery.

1t Is possible under certain con-
ditions to keep a car that uses a
battery ignition running without
the use Of the battery. This is
when the battery system employs a
generator to feed load after a GER
tain engine speed has been reached
while the battery is called upon for
speeds or less than fifteen miles or
SO: II the battery is out of COM
MISSION 1t is impossible to get the
car started in the ordinary way, but
II the Vehlcle is towed or otherwise
gotten into motion 1t can be kept
going. Obviously the starter is out
of commission and the speed of the
car must be kept pretty well up.
but in emergencies this dodge is
worth remembering.

UNUSUAL FEAT
BY FRANKLIN
>uns 500 Miles in Low Gear
Without Overheating
Engine.

To demonstrate the ability OF the
air-cooled Franklin to undergo
long Furnishing grind in low gear
without Overheating, Ralph Hamlin,
of Los Angeles. staged q 500 mile
run with a stock Franklin touring
car en- August Is, which bids fair to
earn for itself a permanent place in
automobile history.
The run was from Los Angeles 10
San Diego. and was accomplished in
forty eight hours, being re-
| msrkable for the terrific tempera-
lures encountered under the blaz-
ing glare of an August sun. When
the car passed over the fats north
of the San Felipe wash the ther-
mometer registered l25 degrees.
The route, too, was over the
worst existing roads in Southern
California. The attitudes met with
varied from an elevation of $3.50
feet to a depression l16 feet below
sea level. Before the ear left Los
Angeles the intermediate and high
gears were removed from the trans
mission. making it absolutely Cer-
tain that the entire run could be
made in no other way than on low
gear.
The car averaged los miles to
the gallon of gasoline. which Ham
lin considers an excellent showing.
AS the motor turned over 315 times
oftener in low gear than it would
have in normal high gear running.
the gasoline mileage in high gear
would have been 1907 miles per
gallon.
More than four million cylinder
eNplosions-enough normally to
drive the Franklin over 1900 miles
were crowded into 500 miles of
| low-gear driving. To turn the
wheels once the motor had to re-
volve 1885 times.
At the end of the trip there was
not the slightest sign Of overheat-
ing. The motor did not as much
as skip a, fngle explosion. nor wa.
it stopped once. And not a single
adjustment was made during the
entire journey
