CADILLAC OF
STURDY BUILD
Stearing Arm Has Tensile
Strength of Is Tons to
Inch

Twenty-four special steels, each
exactly suited for its purpose, which
are used in the making Of Cadillac
parts are declared by officials of
this company as being partly respon-
sible 70 rthe sturdiness Of the Cad
lilac car. Some of these steels are
special alloys of high. quality which
have been developed exclusively for
the Cadillac.
AS an example of quality in steel,
the Cadillac steering arm is made
from chrome nickel alloy with a ten
sile strength of 10000 pounds or IS
tons to the square inch. The steel
used in the axle drive shaft shows a
tensile strength of It's 900 pounds to
the square inch.
One hundred and twenty feet Of
vibrant steel leaves cradle Cadillac
riders over country ruts and city cob

than any fabric part.
Five hundred square inches of brak-
ing surface and more than ton OF
retarding force sum UP the story of
the Cadillac brakes. This force 6x-
erted at the wheels is the resultant of
only few pounds of pressure on the
brake pedal. The yoke connections
at the end of the brake rods are fine
steel forgings and the brake pins are
heat-treated.

drive. But the noises are only TIC
ginning because the looseness that
causes the noise will result In break
age at no distant date, If 1t is per-
mitted to continue. The car owner,
therefore, should take engine and
chassis noises, not as mere passing an
noyances, but as symptoms of some
thing far more serious and should ear
nestly hunt them down, just as soon
as they make their presence known.
Engine seat Of Trouble.
The engine is the seat Of the greater
part of the unnecessary noises that
BEEN inevitable In the operation Of the
car. The commonest engine noises are
valve clicks and slaps, both OF which
may be detected by the rhythmical
regularity Of their occurrence.
The reason for noisy gear operation
is too great clearance between the
valve and Its seat. In the case Of over
head valves too great clearance be-
tween litter and push rod will cause
the trouble The remedy is obviously
the reduction Of the clearance to the
correct distance and this work should
be done while the engine Is heated,
because of the expansion OF metal
when heated, in which condition the
valves necessarily run.
While the valve system Is the COM
monest seat Of noise troubles In the
engine 1t Is not the sole location where
this trouble may be looked for. The
bearings In most engines are Of soft
metal, which must be kept copiously
fabricated or 1t will burn and fiatten
out with q knock as the result. The
ordinary remedy for this Is to take up
the bearing by removing the SHIN be-
tween the two halves, or else to trim
the metal on the movable part. Care
must be used in performing this opera
Hon to see that the bearing touches
the shaft all around without being too
tight.
Reason for Many Noises.
Transmission noises are not at all
uncommon and generally result from
one Of the shafts being out Of line by
reason Of a worn Bearing or q binding
gear. Sometimes the entire tgansmis-
sion il out Of line, g that both shafts
ARE out Of true. Very often g gear
may be broken because the shaft has
been out Of lipe. The car owner has
3 new one installed, but this does not
help for long, because the entire unit
Is out Of alignment. Il
Propeller shaft and universal Joints
are not usually troublesome through
noisy operation, but the rear axle fire.
quently is. While the driving pinion
and differential master gear are not
running true there will be loud hum,
with an accent or stress once In a
revolution. Most units have some
means Of adjusting to take up wear
ip this location, the adjustment con-
sisting Of moving the entire differential
unit, which Is job for expert hands.
This finishes the major noises, but
there are several minor ones to look
out for. Minor squeaks and rattles
from springs and body come In this
class. The springs and shaekles, If
kept properly fabricated, will not be-
come noisy. Body noises may be
avoided by keeping nuts and bolts
tightly drawn up. Felt inserts will
stop door squeaks. Strips Of rubber
wedged under the supports will cure
fender rattles.

Three In One Is
Near Gas Sands

The Three-In-One well on The
Sunburst dome was drilling at S5(
feet, according G. G. Hoyt, president
of the company.
The No. 1 well is working night
and day, making from 20
day with the core drill. The Reed
roller bit arrived but it was neces-
sary to send back for rollers. When
this is in operation, the progress will
speed up. In the soft formations a
fish-tail bit is used with great sue
cess. This bit made "a feet in one
shift, but on harl formations it is
necessary to use chilled shot drill.
The well is being closely watched
by geologists, including A. j. Collier
of the United States geological sur
vey and Dorsey Hager, who is now
associated with the Sunburst Oil &
Gas company. The Colorado sands
are expected near the 1000 foot mark
and this will yield gas or probably
oil in this location, the drillers be-
Iieve.

OVER MONT. OIL

Interest in Montana oil field an(
especially in the Kevin-Sunburst
Arch is keen in the middle west, ac-
cording to Frank Fogarty, district
manager of the Prudential Life In
scrance company and member o.
the Syndicate Nineteen on Keyin-
Sunburst lands, says Great Falls
report.
IT find that the people of many
middle west towns have keen inter
est and an active knowledge of de-
velopments, said Mr. Fogarty.
HThey are more than interested. In
one small Minnesota town, found
that $4,000 had been raised for de-
velopment work in the Montana oil
fields. In Minneapolis, the interest
is just as keen and there is every in
dication that the fields will draw
investment capital from these points" ;"
