Do You Know the Answers?

Q. What causes apparent carbu-
rotor leakage from modern cars dur-
ing night storage?
a. Condensation of low-grade fuel
in the intake manifold as the motor
cools off. The kerosene content COL
lects, runs back into the carburetor
and drips out on the floor of the
garage.
Q. What is meant by period Of
vibration" or Critical speed?
A. All engines vibrate in running,
but at certain speed. which varies
with different motors. vibration
reaches a sudden maximum. Above
this critical speed vibration becomes
normal again. Electric motors arc
usually tested for critical speed and
are then regulated to drive above or
below it. II the horn of a car is
holted to the engine the critical speed
will be found when it begins to rat
tie the horn. Never drive a motor
at It's critical speed for any length
of time, as the excessive vibration
will soon work havoc with 1t.
Q. What causes the brakes Of some
cars to seize violently when they are
gently applied by the driver when
going over rough roads?
A. This is a tendency Of the Hotch-
kiss type Of drive. in which the rear
axle drive is transmitted to the body
Of the car through springs which

Importance of footing?
The modern motor driven horns are
such corking good sounding affairs
it's funny that the average car owner
doesn't enjoy footing them. A violent
blast Of noise sounds like money even
when it comes from under the hood
of a cheap car. Something's wrong
with human conceit.
Perhaps something's wrong with

Delco SUPREMACY

ignition winner Of this interna-
tional five-hundred.mile classic.
The winning Murphy Special,
driven, by Jimmie Murphy, was
Delco-equipped.
But an even more remarkable
tribute to Delco's uniform de-
pendability was the fact that the
first, second, fourth, fifth, sixth,
seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth
car to thunder across the win
ming line were likewise Delco-
equipped.
This dramatic performance was
a repetition of Delco supremacy
at indianapolis last year, when

equipped.
In establishing records on the
indianapolis and other famous
race tracks-besides national
and world records of speed and
endurance on water and in the
air, as we'll as on land-Delco
simply gives evidence, under the
most srueling tests imaginable,
of that fine dependability and
remarkable performance that
more than a million and a half
owners Of Delco-equipped cars
have come to take as a matter of
course.
This additional victory at In
dianapolis is also a high compli.
ment to all manufacturers of
quality cars who use Delco as
standard equipment for ignition,
as an evidence that they elect to
make price secondary to quality.
