Dear Barney Oldfield: | am told by
a man of many years of experience in
motoring that it does more harm to the
motor and gears to ascend a steep hill
a mile long with the gear set in second
at a 15-mile speed than it does to
climb the same hill with the gear set
in high at 20 TO % mile speed, and
that it does still more harm to shift
from high to second. climbing the same
hill when the car is running at less
than a 15-mile speed.
When my car is climbing q steep hill
and | see it cannot make it in high
gear l let it drop to about a 1O-mile
speed and then shift from high to sec
ond gear without a jerk. The motor
picks up Immediately to a 20-mile
speed. But when | shift from high to
second with my car running at a L.
mile speed it gives a sudden jerk when
noise. Which one Of us is right on
| let the clutch in and also makes much
this question?-H. A. s.
If the a can climb the grade in
high at % miles per hour there may
be less strain than climbing at - miles
in second, but it is hard TO tell. The

vidual it is a Utopian motoring dream.
We cannot of course go ahead with
high-compression engine design until
we are assured that the doped fuel can
be had anywhere and everywhere just
as We now get undoped gasoline, be-
cause on ordinary fuel a high-com-
preston engine knocks badly, and
overheats to a great extent.
1t is now believed that we are on
the right track toward the future type
Of cara light weight vehicle, with a
small. but powerful high-compression
engine. This will result in extreme
economy both because of the light
weight of the vehicle and the fact that
the engine uses a higher compression.
IF the light weight idea comes out of
the present development, we can look
forward to vastly increased use of mo-
tor vehicles at much reduced cost per
mile for fuel, oil, tires and repairs.
Great Falls tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1921-current, 1922-07-30

torque in second is greater, but then
if the engine labors in high 1t is bad
not alone for the engine but for the
whole transmission system. 1t is my
advice never to run in high unless the
engine runs smoothly and to shift INTO
second whenever power drops of to
such an extent as to cause knocking.
The reason your car jerks at a certain
speed is because the engine speed does
not happen to be right for shifting
downward.
Dear Barney Oldfield: A friend and
I had an argument a few days ago over
the speedometer readings of large and
small cars. I claim that the speedom-
eter readings will be the same on all
cars large or small if they are run
ming at the same rate of speed. He
says not. He claims that the reading
of the speedometer of a small car will
be greater than that of the large car.
large and small car going at the same
rate of speed.
/ will try to make my questions
clear. A small car has smaller wheels
than the large car and has to turn fast
err than the big car with large wheels.
so as to keep up with the big car.
Now my friend claims the speedometer
of the small car will register more
miles per hour than the s~peedometer
of the large car both going at the
same rate of speed.
Kindly answer my question so that
I can convince my friend.-F. l.. II.
If two cars are running at the same
rate of speed it doesn't take more than
common sense to see that the speed
ometers will register alike-if the
speedometers are correct. Bear IN
mind though hat if you change wheel
sizes or tire sizes or gear ratio you
must also change the speedometer
gearing. for otherwise there will be an
error. If a ear has large wheels and
the speedometer reads say % miles
per hour at a certain point. the same
car with the same speedometer and
gearing will give a different reading II
the wheels of the car are smaller.
Dear Barney Oldfield: Will you
please answer the following questions:
What is the best motor lubricant
known? What motor oils are used in
racing cars and in airDlanes?-S. H. e..
There is no such thing. fabrication
is a matter of supplying a lubricant for
Sptfilt tolltiilIobS, anu iuitt a huhioN
of lubricants may be equal in meeting
the lubricant demands.
Racing cars use a mixture of castor
oil and mineral oil. or just straight
castor oil. This is done because an oil
of high viscosity must be used. Air
planes use a special engine oil mostly
mineral like that Of an automobile en-
CINE.

Barney 0ld6f@@d says:
BETTER FUEL FOR Mo1oR,sr

Every driver knows that under GER
tain conditions the engine will knock
regardless of the position OF the spark
lever. I explained in an article some
time ago that much of the engine
knocking is due to detonation OF GER
tain portions of the fuel and not to
the spark. though it is quite possible
to get a pre-ignition knock from GER
tain causes. However. most OF the en-
CINE knocking is a result of fuel de-
tonation and happily there has been
discovered a compound which removes
this knock. The Introduction OF THIS
compound known as tetra-ethyl iead Is
the result of long research by OF
the largest automobile manufacturers
In the industry.
Before the discovery Of this new
compound various substances were
used to accomplish the same result,
but they were either too costly or oil.
ficult to make in sufficient quantity OF
materials to be had plentlfully IN TINS
country. The analine oil. benzo and
alcohol compounds. especially the lat.
ter, are sold today in many sections or
the country. the price per gallon or
mixed fuel being two or three cents
more than ordinary gasoline. The use
of tetra-ethvl lead will bring gasoline
to about the same price as the other
''doped' fuels.
One Gallon Treats 5000
One gallon of this new compound is
enough to treat 5000 gallons of gaso-
line and the cost to the manufacturer
or %refiner is only one cent per gallon
more. The plan is to sell the com
pound to the gasoline ~refiner and let
them sell the gasoline already mixed.
When used a remarkable change
comes over the engine. A certain
make which I myself tried at a recent
meeting of engineers. is a notorious
"knocker." One must shift into sec
ond if the engine is the least bit car
bombed. When used with tetra-ethyl
lead the engine would not knock on
the steepest grade and even frightened
and stalled without knocking.
1t produced a smoothness of opera
ton and an increase in power never
before experienced in this car. But
the substance newly discovered, while
it throws down less carbon, increases
power, reduced oil contamination in
the crankcase and above all stops the
knock, has a far greater value to the
automotive industry. 1t permits the
engine compression to be increased to
as high as 100 pounds. The compress
sion depends on the amount of stuff
used per gallon.
A Tremendous Saving
This means that if distribution were
national we could use high compress
sion engines in existing form and get
far better mileage. much more power
and speed, and then slowly design spe-
cial high-compression engineers. lighter.

present and the oil pressure gauge
