tiles were freed to engage in new
ventures.
The industry waited with expect
ancy for the first move which would
disclose the direction OF the Durant
energies. 1t did not have long 10
wait.
Mr.. Durant Immediately set about
to organize another series Of corpora
tions TO manufacture automobiles on
volume production basis. Within
three months four manufacturing
corporations were In existence and
the work Of designing the new cars
was under way. Production centers
were established at MunCie, Ind.

Production OF cars already Is well

of reducing vibration by making the
shaft of large diameter. with large
bearings firmly supported. so that
the stiffness of the shaft Itself
makes II able to keep its shape.
Still another school OF engineers
holds that the best method OF re.
ducing crankshaft vibration Is by
means Of vibration dsFnpers, mount
ed on the cranksf ~. This 6amper
is practically a disc clutch. so de-
signed that IL pulls down the vibra-
ton of the shaft as soon as II be-
gins.
Another phase OF the engines In
tarnal opera ton that causes vibra'
tion Is the action OF the pistons.
Every moving body has a certain
amount OF energy stored up in II.
and said moving body always desires
to keep moving in the direction In
which il is going. When the piston
OF the automobile engine. for m
stance. reaches the top OF its stroke
IL desires with all its heart TO keep
right on going and fly out throuRn
the top of the cylinder. II Is pulleS
back by the connecting rod. In a
four.cylinder engine two pistons are
the tOp anu tNO dl VIC ooNtoih
the same time. The two pistons a,
the top travel faster than those al
the bottom, and their so-called in
ertia force, their desire to continue
travelling in the same direction. Is
greater. This produces what Is
known as an unbalanced force, and
this is what causes the excessive vi
bration that Il often noticed in q
four that has heavy pistons.
To meet this situation. the makers
endeavor to reduce the weight oi
their pistons, because the greater
the weight the greater the inertia
force. The tendency toward alu
minum pistons is due to this condi
ton, and the engineers carry this
idea further by tightening such parts
as valves, rocker arms, push rods
etc.
SO the eternal hattie. against vi
bration goes on. and the man who IL
genuinely interested In motor car
will watch the engineers gradually
winning over their old enemy. W.
shall, perhaps. never achieve the vi
brationless motor car, but we shai
approximate perfection.

AUTHORIZATION
HARD PROBLEM
F0REN NC|NEERS
Machinery Is Often Badly
Damaged by Excessive
! ouivering.
By ALEXANDER JOHNSTON,
Editor of MOTOR.

One Of the most important prob
lens with which the automobile
engineer has TO deal in his eternal
struggle to make the motor car
\better is vibration. The average
ear owner probably never even
thinks OF vibration as one OF the
hostile forces which are always at
work, undermining the stability and
efficiency of his car. Vibration. II
allowed to work it's own sweet way,
would shake any motor car TO
pieces In a days running. 1t is
because OF this that engineers are
constantly working out ways and
means OF lessening vibration and
thus increasing the life Of the car.
Taking the automobile engine as
peculiarly liable to various vibra.
tfonal influences, we find the fol.
lowing conditions causing vibration:
j. Crankshaft distortion due TO
inherent unbalance.
2. Centrifugal forces acting on
the crankpins.
3. Explosion pr~ssures.
=. Forces OF the reciprocating
masses.
8. Toraue variation.
II seems almost impossible that a
piece Of steel such as the crank.
shaft should bend, but IL does. Due
10 forces acting on il as il re-
wolves the crankshaft will bend
much as n skipping rope bends
when it is swung by two little girls.
Furthermore. the cranl1pins or parts
to which the connecting rod bear
ings are attached, because of their
own centrifugal force. tend 10 bend
Also. They try to pull away from
the shaft. exactly as a pail OF sand
tries to pull out of your hand when
you swing IL around your head.
The problem of the engineer is to
find a means OF lessening this tend
ency Of the shaft and parts TO pull
away from center, thereby setting
up vibration. Many engineers have
employed balance weights TO reduce
this vibration. These weights are
located along the shaft and are de-
signed to balance the crankpin, the
adjacent cheek and the part OF the
connecting rod that has rotary
motion. 1t is claimed that a crank
shaft properly balanced in this way
has Its bearing pressures lessened
10 such an extent that bearing
wear is materially lowered.
Other engineers have found a way

Wiring System
of Your Machine
Must Be Watched

Take a little time off once q
month for the purpose OF exam
lining the wiring system OF your
car to see that there are no
breaks in the insulation. and
more particularly that a wire is
not rubbing against some metal
portion of the car, to cause a
short circuit. Where a wire does
rub against the frame or some
portion of the engine, IL
1t well 10 wrap the wire into a
rigid position so II cannot chafe.
A little attention to a detail OF
this character may save you
from a rundown battery or hay-
ing a disabled car on the road.
