Improper Use of
State Seals on
Cars Aimed AT
Bill in Legislature Would
Prohibit Display on Pri-
vately-Owned Autos; Lit
tie New Legislation as Yet

Thus far this season there have not
been many automobile bills introduced
at Albany, and of the lot there are two
which deserve suppore. One bill is
aimed against the practice of display
ing the coat of arms of city or state
on privately owned cars. A great many
artomoblists have been using state
seals, probably with the idea of get
ting away with" something. There
wasn't any law to stop them before.
Another measure relates to the use
of offensive warning signals. If it is
made to cover the annoying exhaust
whistle which so many truck operators
abuse it ought to get 100 per cent sup
port from right minded motorists.
A good deal of bookkeeping and
some extra expense to garagemen and
repairmen will be entailed if law is
passed which would require that re-
ports be made of all machines left for
storage or repair and also notification
to police authorities if the manufac-
turer's number on the car has been
altered or removed. Not so good, al
though the purpose is praiseworthty.
Another bill would amend the Penal
Law so that a person driving, operating
or directing or knowingly permitting
a person subject to his commands to
operate car in SO negligent manner
that another is injured shall be deemed
guilty OF third degree assault

Other Than Traffic La'cs
C0Uer1, the Motor Cor, Too
Some Natural Laws of Physics Which Control the
Movements of the Automobile and Which
1t Is Well for the Operators to Respect

to speed up the car you "step on the
gas" as it is called. After it is up to
speed practically the only power re-
quired is to overcome wind resistance.
Use the Brakes Early
But you may know more about the
other end of the law, that body in
motion wants to keep moving unless
some other force intervenes. You
car or some other body several times
in learning to drive. The car was 60
ing and it wanted to keep on going,
although you were pressing the brake
and doing most everything else you
knew about to get it to stop, particu-
larly if the pavement were slippery.
You discovered that it takes consid-
cradle power to stop a moving body as
we'll as to start it. Understanding this,
you probably will not wait until the
last moment to jam on the brakes, but
will start in time to avoid both the
danger of accident and damage to the
car through racking.
There was another law called that
Of gravity-a force that pulls every
thing toward the center of the earth,
and which is responsible for keeping
large part of the automobiles to-day
from hitting more than the very high
places. But it is this law which makes
it hard going up grade and a matter
Of care in going down one. Beside pull
ing the load Of the car on an upgrade,
the motor must overcome the force Of
gravity, which may be considerable
item in the case Of heavy car. and
which explains, in part, why the flivver
will make hill easier than some high
powered auto. Of course, going down
hill the weight of car multiplies the
attraction Of gravity and makes good
brakes more necessary.
There was the law Of friction-the
resistance between two surfaces, one
or both Of which are In motion, the
friction being greater when they are
starting to nov than when they are
actually under way. This is noticed
particularly In stopping car. If the
brakes are applied hard enough to slide
the wheels there is less frictional
power after the slide starts, although
you may think it is lot when you
examine the tires afterward, but if the

A recent letter from the Pennsyl-

information that the open weather so

Joined article, one Of a series for motor
Ssts, tcritten for The Tribune By II. c..
Byokd,D, technical director Of tho West
Side Y. N. c. a. Autoos obile School
Ever think how the natural laws you
learned way back in high school days
apply to your automobile to-day? 1t
Is working under those laws, whether
you rene nember them or not. If you re.
learn them and keep them in mind you
will more thoroughly understand what
is taking place and get a great deal
more pleasure out of driving, because
you will know the how and the why
be more in sympathy with your car for
that reason.
Remember the old law about bodies
In motion tending to go in a straight
line? This is responsible for the fact
that body travelling in circle Is al
ways trying to get off on a tangent.
and revolving body to throw off q
loose portion every little while, to 60
whirling out into space, the same as
when the earth was thrown off the
sun. Think about this the next time
you whirl around a corner when the
pavement is little wet and the wheels
start to slide. The car will want to
keep going right along in straight
tine because Of this law, and either the
front or rear wheels, or both, will
slide and you will land up against the
Tar curb.
II the pavement were dry and the
speed not too high the friction of the
tires-traction--on the pavement would
prevent skidding, because an equal and
opposite force came into play, but NOV
able bodies In the car, such as persons,
would tend to move to one side Of the
ear. If it were not for this friction it
would be hard to turn the corner at q
speed faster than a walk.
Then perhaps you will remember the
Law Of inertia-how q body at rest
does not want to start moving and
when It does get moving does not want
50 stop. That Is why 1t takes q great
deal more power to start the automo-
bile rolling than to keep it rolling
sitter it is once in motion, and to pro-
duce this extra power when you wish

the top Of the radiator; there it comes
in contact with cool air in the cooling
passages, contracts, flows down, and
then starts to make another circuit.
In some cooling systems where there
is centrifugal pump, water will con-
tinue to circulate, after fashion, even
though the pump may be stopped, be-
cause water can flow through it. Usual
ly, however, the flow of water is less
than is needed for thorough cooling and
ly.
Although water expands from heat
ing it also expands in freezing and
this expansion is sufficient to burs,
eny receptacle where it is confined.
That is why you have to watch closely
to prevent the radiator frum freezing,
since the expansion bulges the tiny
water passages and springs the seams.

Motorcycle Big Aid
To Law Enforcement

That the motorcycle is playing
leading part in the curtailment of
recklessness and speed on our high
ways is reflected in the fact that the
rumber of these machines in use by
traffic police is constantly on the in
crease. New York City stands fore
most in numbers of motorcycles in use
for the purpose and its force of speed
cops" has recently been augmented by
the addition of forty-one new ma
chimes. The Metropolitan District
Police of Boston have likewise added
fifteen new two-wheeled mounts to
their force Of traffic law enforcers.

New-York tribune., 1921-01-23

wheels we're rolling ever so slowly they
would keep their traction on the pave
ment and the car would stop in much
shorter distance than when they are
sliding.
Many Friction Bearings
OF course, the brake itself is an ex-
ample of the law Of friction, which in
the auto is produced by band, tight
friction is in the numerous bearings
on the car. and there are more than 100
in the ordinary four-cylinder auto.
There is natural antipathy between
these moving parts. They CRATE on
one another, like a couple of grouches,
and it needs some one to pour oil on
to smooth things over before they
work together harm oniously.
1t is lubricating oil interposed be-
tween the parts which makes smooth
motion. AS matter of fact, luhri-
of the friction being between two pieces
# metal it becomes friction among
he molecules of the oil itself, which
lide over one another easily and keep
he two parts separated. This suggests
that the use of too thick an oil or
grease will produce a greater friction
and consume power. That is why you
use lighter oil or grease in winter
than in summer, and why high-speed
motor requires lighter grade of oil
than one which moves slowly.
For instance, grinders in the school
revolve at from 1000 to 5000 revou-
lions minute. Using a light cylinder
ii on these bearings causes heating
because of the friction in the oil,
which is entirely too heavy for these
speeds. A special light spindle oil is
necessary.
There was another law which re-
terred to the center of gravity. You
did not think that it had anything to
do with car, did you? But if you
ever had car overturn you may have
given some thought to it. Ever notice
racing carlow long it is hung on
the axles or below them, even? That
is to bring the center of gravity to the
lowest possible point, so that the car
will not overturn on a curve, and ex-
lains why heavy bodied enclosed
car is more likely to overturn in an
accident than sport car. You wonder
low reckless drivers of sport cars get
away with it. Maybe this will explain
it.
Law and the Cooling System
Another law which is quite necessary
to know is that heat expands and cold
contracts bodies, if you want to keep
The cooling system in proper working
order. In the thermo-syphon system
this is the principle of operation:
Water coming into the water jacket
from the radiator cold, absorbs heat
from the combustion within the cylin-
der, expands and rises, and passes into
