Makes Outer Wheel Travel Fast
or, In the Same Time Inner
Wheel Makes Its Short Turn.
BY ALEXANDER JOHNSTON.
Editor of Motor.

Probably the least understood of the
mechanical units that make up the
modern motor car is the differential
unit. The function of this unit Is to
compensate for the differences In
speed OF the rear wheels In making
turns. In making a turn the outer
wheel must travel greater. distance
than the inner, which practically acts
rs a pivot for the turning operation.
This means that the outer wheel must
travel faster to cover It's greater
distance in the same time that the
inner wheel makes its short turn.
In the ordinary bevel or spur gear
differential there Is simply a COM
bination Of gears so arranged as to
permit each wheel to turn indepen-
IDENTIFY of the other. This Is accom-
plished by the use of two axle shafts,
one for each wheel, the ends OF the
shafts being geared indirectly to the
diving bevel, which in turn Is oper-
ated by the pinion at the end OF the
propeller shaft. Pulling straight
ahead and with the wheels on dry
ground, both. pull equally and there IL
no differential action, the differential
turning as a unit with the driving
bevel or ring gear. AS soon as one
wheel leaves the ground, or rests on
q slippery surface, the differentiai

Great EcIat.

A horn blows offstage-an obsolete

imitation Of the sound of machinery

that he Is a motorist.

wild. primitive state on the motor
highways.
Last autumn, as in previous au-
tumns, thousands or 1OotDall enthusl-
asts motored to the college stadiums,
motored over clean concrete roads at
railway speed-and when they ar.
rived, looked no different sartorially
from the other thousands who had
travelled on the railroads.
Here and there a feminine motorist
dabbed a little powder on her nose,
but the dust of travel-if such there
was at all--inflamed the eye OF the
railway goer.
The fact Is that the dust nuisance,
insofar as our through highways are
concerned, has been thoroughly laid
to rest. The lipen buster has been
permanently parked in lavender. We
recommend to theatrical managers
that a fresh, carefree, and joyous
countenance be accepted as the betray-
ing characteristic of the stage motor

"a MILLION TIRES ARE
NEEDED FOR 1922 WEAR

The 100000 cars in the country
will need approximately $4,000. 900
tires in 1922 to keep them on the road.
This is figured on the basis Of three
to three and one-half tires per car
during a twelve-month period, taking
into account the new cars being manu-
featured. These tires are estimated by
the Miller Rubber Company to cost
the consumer an average of $21.10.
This price is below the pre-war level
