Answer. to Last Weeks Questions.

Answers to Last Weeks Question:.
/. A spark will not jump as great
a distance between the spark PLUG
points under compression within the
cylinder as it will outside of the en-
CINE because the compressed air and
gas mixture form better insulatol
to electricity than exterior at
mosphere. Therefore. more voltage IS
required to penetrate compression
and closer setting of the points Is
necessary within the cylindr.
2. The average temperature WITHIN
an automobile engine, with cooling
and lubricating systems functioning
properly. is about $50 degrees AT the
beginning of power stroke, when the
explosion occurs in each cylinder, the
temperature is about 200 degrees
and the temperature at suction stroke
the coolest period of the cycle is about
$50 degrees To withstand these various
high temperatures it can be easily seen
that good quality Of oil is necessary
in the engine.
3. One way of telling if one or more
cylinders are consuming too much on
is to watch the exhaust pipe as the
engine is in operation. II smoke comes
from the pipe steadily all cylinders are
receiving the same amount OF Oil. but
If the smoke issues irregularly in puffs
there is a possibility that some cylinders
are being fabricated more than others
A constant stream of smoke may indi-
cate too much oil in all cylinders.
4. The basis Of power which gaso-
line engine has is usually figured al
eighty to hundred pounds per square
inch, which is considered to exist dur
ing the full length of power stroke
Of each piston.
S. In most automobile engines the
exhaust and inlet valves are both the
same size. therefore from size alone
you cannot tell one from the other
But you can tell them apart by OBJ
serving when they open and close
The inlet begins to open Immediately
upon the full closing of the exhaust
but there is a period of time between
the closing of the inlet and the open
ing of the exhaust.
s. Alcohol is obtained from a vege
table source, and contains or more
per cent Of water. 1t can be made
from substances containing starch OF
sugar, and it is also product o.
fruits, grain. vegetables. wheat. rye
corn, sugar cane, barley and rice
Alcohol requires considerable heat t
properly vaporize it, and therefore i!
used almost entirely as an anti-freez'
solution only in the automobile en-
CINE.
Z. If storage battery were dis
charged faster than the specified rat
the plates would tend to warp ant
active material on them would b.
loosened from the surface. forming
considerable sediment in the bottom
Of the battery jar. This, il CONTINUED

, would cause a short circuit in the
battery.
s. A thin oil is not generally used
in the transmission or differential be-
cause it would not have the cushion
ing effect of heavy oil or grease
which is necessary to reduce wear and
noise in the parts. Also light oil would
soon have a tendency to run out at
axle ends. Light oil is only used in
tight-fitting or rapidly moving parts
and where there is no heavy pressure.
9. The air cooled engine is efficiently
cooled by air only. even though air
does not absorb heat as rapidly as
water. because it has considerably
more heat radiating surface exposed
for cooling than has the water cooled
engine. The air-cooled motor has all
it's cylinders cast individually. and
thin metal flangeS surround each cyl
Under so that when the air is drawn
past and around the cylinders with
considerable force by the fanlike
fiywheel the motor receives sufficient
cooling.
10. The best way to negotiate a poor
strip of road such as mud, gravel or
crushed stone IS to throw out the
clutch after speeding up the car DC
fore the poor strip is reached and al
low the car to coast through 1t under
it's own momentum. Less strain on
the drive system and tires will re-
suit Sometimes. however, the strip
is too long for momentum to carry
the car through. Under these circum-
stances drop into a lower gear be-
fore engaging the clutch. Traverse
these spots slowly.
