Union City, Winchester and Fort
Wayne, on the trail of the E. H. Cure
ton car, which police officials had in
formed him was now at Fort Wayne.
The car has been dismantled.
The chief will stop at Union City
and Winchester to obtain information
concerning the car from the three
young men held there for the theft
of a Union City machine.
Ralph Handley of this city has sold
his roadster which had been stolen
from him and was later located at
Greenville, O., to the parties who had
purchased it from the alleged thieves.
The machine was in process of re-
modelling, and he did not care to re-
claim it.
Two cars which were found aban-
doned on the road outside of Rich
mond and have been held by the police

Standard
Service

With our experience and
equipment we have a notion that
we could work out a pretty fair
sort of battery service without
much help.
But we also have an idea that
it wouldn't measure up to the
brand of service developed for
our use by the Willard Storage
Battery Company.
As Battery Headquarters we
have the benefit of their years Of
experience. and Of the definite
national standards of service
they have been able to develop
as q result.
Come ini No matter what
make Of battery you happen to
have it needs the sort Of atten-
ton provided by the Willard
Standard of Service.

Ford planetary system are rather diff
ficult to understand without actually
having the unit to look at. Briefly.
however, it requires the use of a pedal
by means of which certain gears are
held stationary for first speed. They
are held by Q brake band. In second
or high the whole transmission re-
wolves as a unit and the gears them
selves do not revolve on their individ-
ual axis. There is, Of course, a re-
verse pedal and it is obtained by means
of holding certain gears by means of a
brake forcing others to revolve about
them. The planetary system employs
only two forward speeds because Of
the difficulty of getting simplicity of
construction when three are. used. At
n time q three-speed planetary was
used, but it is not a good commercial
type. In the Ford, %cheapness is nee
essary so obviously not more than two
speeds are provided. In second or high
speed the Ford ratio is 3 I'll to 1.
The transmission unit on most cars
is interposed between the clutch and
rear axle. In the Ford the clutch is
behind the transmission gearing prop
er. When the engine, clutch and trans
mission are a unit, we use the express
sion unit power plant. In some de-
signs the transmission is a separate
unit and is mounted some distance be-
hind the clutch. This position is used
on the Chevrolet 400 and many others
but the unit power plant is the gener-
ally accepted standard. In the Stutz
the transmission is in unit with the
real axle.
Great Falls tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1921-current, 1922-06-25

means that the engine will revoive 10
times to every revolution Of the rear
| wheels. At that engine speed it's torque
| and power are fairly high so that it
can easily pull its load. As the car
gets under way, that high engine speed
and low rear wheel speed is not need
ed so a shift is made into second speed
where the ratio between engine mi
wheel speed may be something like
I to / or 6 to I. AS the car is IN in
second speed for a short distance a
shift is made into third or high speed
tsome cars used for speeds and in this
the engine turns over less than five
times to one revolution Of the rear
wheels.
The high speed gear ratio is con-
trolled by the ratio between the num-
Der of teeth on the real axle driving
pinion and the differential ring gear,
because in the transmission unit itself
the gears have a | to | ratio in high.
That is why it is sometimes called dl-
rect drive-because the engine drives
through the transmission without any
reduction gearing. using only the re-
duction in the rear axle. In the aver
age car this is about Az to l which
means the engine revolves AZ times
every IlInP lUP rear N1etlS FcfolNt
once. In some cars the ratio is high
er. in others lower. In racing cars the
ratio may be as low as 213 to l and in
cars where good slow speed perform
ance is needed it may be as high as
5 to /.
Change in Ratio
The change from one ratio to an
other in the sliding gear transmission
is made by means Of the gearshift lev
er. This lever simply shifts one gear
into mesh with another gear, the latter
being fixed to a shaft while the for
mer slides on another shaft. The mod
ern system is called selective because
one may select" any desired ratio
provided, right from the start. In old
er designs known as the progressive
sliding transmission it was necessary
to shift into second speed in order to
get into third or high because the
gears were so arranged that the slid
ing gear was on a shaft parallel to the
fixed gear shaft and there was only
one course for the sliding gear to fol-
low. In the selective there are two
shifter forks and either one is control
liable at will by the one gearshift lever.
In the Ford transmission q totally
different method is used to effect a
change of speed relation between en-
CINE and rear wheels. The planetary
system gets its am from the arrange
ment of its gears resembling that of
the relation of our planets which re
volve about their own axis and at the
same time change their positions as a
unit. The details of operation of the

TRANSMISSIONS

With the exception of the Ford car.
practically every passenger automobile
uses what is called a selective sliding
transmission or change-speed gear.
The Ford uses a Planetary transmission.
A unit of this kind is necessary owing
to the characteristics of the gasoline
engine which is unable to start the car
under full load. The transmission in
tcrposed between the engine and the
rear axle acts fundamentally as a lever,
so that the engine may be operated at
different speeds with relation to the
speed of the rear wheels. Thus in
starting the car from a s%tandstill. we
use what we call first speed. This
may have a leverage or as we call it a
gear ratio of as high as Is to l which

steam. 1 have told some friends Of
mine that q steamer carries 100
pounds Of steam but having never seen
one they do not believe me. They say
no boiler can carry that much steam.
There are no steam cars in our city and
/ can not prove my statement, SO l am
appealing to you to help me out. Will
you kindly tell us the amount of steam
a car of this make carries, and how it
can handle such a large amount?-
C. l. s.
/ do not doubt that the boiler will
withstand 1900 pounds pressure, but
the Stanley company sets the safety
valve to blow off at $50 pounds pres
sure and suggests a working pressure
of 500 pounds for ordinary work.
Dear Barney Oldfield: / read your
valued articles from time to time and
would like to ask you a question.
The electric system on my car does
not function properly. The ammeter
shows a charging rate of from II to 10
amperes a day-driving maximum and 4
to 9 amperes at night with two IL
candlepower globes burning and 2 can
dlepower tail lights.
When the car is ascending a hill or
just breaking even by the amneter
night reading the lights get dim. When
the engine speeds up the lights become
unusually bright. The storage battery
is new and fully charged at a service
battery station and seems to be all
right.
The electric system will perform the
same way with a service battery-.the
lights get dim and then very bright:
/ had an electrician look over the
system and inspect it for loose connec-
tons but found none.-L. s. H.
The trouble is probably in the charg-
ing line resulting in the battery not
getting the proper amount of current
and at the same time sending the en-
tire Tor nearly so) generator voltage
into the load. The regulator may be
at fault, or it may be in a bad battery
cable, or connection from battery to
generator. l am sorry for a so-called
electrical expert who cannot definitely
locate this trouble for you. If you
mention the type of generator or the

l measured them myself with microm-

are not getting enough oil?
What gets me is that the more l re-
tard the spark the more it knocks.
There is no carbon.-C. H. G.
Your description is exactly that of a
wrist pin knock. 1t is quite possible
that one Of the pistons was not lined
up properly or perhaps n of the rods
or one of the pins so that the pin after
some use cooked in the piston. Also 1t
may be possible that n of the pins
was not locked in place. The piston

the motor gives fine power and runs
fine except a dull knock in it which he
cannot find. He took the motor down
the second time and tested everything
for alignment and said he couldn't find
a thing. The knock resembles a labor
knock and is most noticeable in speed
ing along at a fair rate On a grade but
on a real hard pull it seldom knocks.
It is also more noticeable when j re-
tard the spark.

HISTORIANS REPORT
ON INDIAN CAVE ART

Charles E. Brown, Madison, curator
of the Wisconsin Historical museum,
and H. E. Cole, Baraboo, director OF
the historical society, recently return
ed from Richland county where they
were engaged in investigating q small
cave in Forest township for the Wis
consin Archaeological society.
The cave, locally known as Indian
Cave" is situated in a sandstone out
crop at the top of one Of the high and
steep wooded regions common in this
region. Many rude human, animal
and other figures and hieroglyphics
are cut in It's walls, according to Mr..
Brown, making it point of unusual
interest to nature lovers.
An In iau artist of this region is
thought to have made the carvings
some hundred years ago. The cave
though small will comfortably shelter
II men. The Wisconsin Archaeological
society is urging that the state fully
protect the cave against mutilation
and destruction.
Others in the party were NJ. S. Gran
dali and t. T. Brown, WoneWoc.

Il think too much of ny family to
expose them again to such conditions
and to the stigma that results as long
as prohibition attempt to force con-
victions," he asserted.
A man trying to make an honest
living in the cereal beverage business
runs too many chances under such
conditions he claimed.
Mr. Silverschmidt, according to Jo-

plans to enter another manufacturing
business and probably will sell the

dismissed the divorce action brought
by Mrs. Louise Pease aginst Harry
Pease, composer of jazz tunes
Mrs. Kate Magee, testifying for the
plaintiff, said that several times she
had seen Pease kiss a red-headed
woman not his wife.
''The sacredness of marriage must
be protected" the court said, unless
unfaithfulness is proved beyond a
doubt Even if this defendant kissed
the young woman good-by, that does
not help in this case. There is no
evidence of an overt act"
