CARBON CAUSES
ENGINE KNOCKS
Raises Compression Pressure,
Increasing Combustion, En-
gineer Explains.

II is a common superstition that a
motor which is heavily clogged up
with carbon knocks because II pre-
tgniter, writes A Ludlow Clayden In
December Motor. Also that such pre-
ignition 10 caused by particles of the
carbon remaining incandescent ana
30 setting fire to the new charge
when IL In only partly compressed
Now the knock Is not really due to
preignition at all In most cases, but
IL caused by the combustion taking
place much more rapidly than nor
nal, for the very simple reason that
the carbon raises the compression
pressure and the violence OF the com
bustton of q compressed charge OF
air and gasoline increases very rap
idly as compression increases.
Compression pressurcs often are
quoted in pounds per square inch, but
this means nothing unless the speed
at which the motor Is running is
given. Owing to valve timing and
to the resistance of the manifolds to
the passage of gas the actual com
, preston varies with the motor speed
usually reaching maximum some
ere around l.2Uv to l 800 revolu-
tiUns per minute.
Thus engineers have adopted the
more scientific plan OF naminG COM
preston by ratio instead Of num-
ber OF pounds Assume motor with
a displacement OF sixty cubic Inches
to each sylinder. That is an engine
in which each piston on it's down.
stroke would draw in sixty cubic
inches OF gas il the valves, etc, AL
lowed. Such cylinder would n""d
combustion space above the top po-
sition OF the piston of about twenty
Cuhip iurbaa IT had this amount
then the compression ratio would be
four to one. This is figured be-
cause 60 plus 20 is eighty. That is,
tho displacement of the piston plus
the volume Of the combustion space
is four times that of the combustion
space alone. Ratios used in prac-
tice vary from four to one up to five
to one ard some racing car engines
have used ratios as high as six to
one.
Now what Is the effect Of a good
coating OF carbon.
A motor with a sixty cubic inch dis
placement might well he four-inch bore.
Then the head OF the piston would
have an area of just over twelve
square inches. The head of the Cylin-
der would be about the same and tive
area of the vertical part of the bore
above the top of the piston, plus valve
chambers would be about fifteen
square inches. In other words, our
combustion space. with its volume OF
twenty cubic inches, would have Il
total wall area Of about thirty nine
square inches.
Suppose there was a layer of car
bon one-siXteenth OF an inch thick
over all this area. thon the volume of

TAX|CAB DRIVERS
TO HIRE MINISTER
EIkton Chauffeurs Plan to Re-
tain Fees for Marriage of
EIoping Couples.

ELK TON, Md, Dec. 2i.--Taxicah
drivers here who have been making
q specially Of taking wedding parties
to local minister and receiving in
addition to their fare tip from the
minister. are planning to hire min
lister on a hat year salary. taking for
themselves the entire gratuity, &C
cording to some citizens here.
During the year just ended more
than 1000 cuples have been married
in Elkton. Fully 90 per cent az tn"
contracting couples have been mar
ried by the Rev. W. K. Moon, re-
tired Baptist clergyman, living on the
outskirts of the town. Some citizens
say that the taxicab drivers have been
receiving pro rata Of the Eratut-
ties received by Mr.. Moon from the
couples. Mt Moon denies this, but
admits that he tips the drivers who
bring weddings to him.
Mr.. Moon today said he had not
heard that the drivers were preparing
to organize and hire a minister by
the year on a fiat salary on the CON
dition he return to them all the gra-
tuities given by the groons. He did
know, however, he said, that 'wo or
three ministers had come to Elkton
and put a proposition OF this sort
before the taxicab men.
Mr.. Moon admits that he is receiv.
