SPRINGS AND SHOCK ABSORBER

1t was not long ago that a prom
inent engineer told me he had de-
signed a car that could not be improved
by the installation of shock disorders.
I questioned it at the time and proved
later that ! was right. / felt that he
was wrong because to get a car so de-
signed as to show no improvement in
riding with shock absorbers is to reach
the exact point between the hard rid
ing spring suspension and the liveliest
suspension, that we may call the center
of compromise. 1t is easy enough to
get a car that will ride easy under GER
tain conditions, but under certain other
conditions it will not be satisfactory.
It may be fine for bumps, but it will
not ride so well over a road full of
holes. Or, the reverse may be true.
The difficulty Of getting just the
right spring suspension has long been
given up by most engineers, who feel
satisfied that one must compromise.
We now have more than Is different
types of spring suspension, from the
simple quarter elliptic such as used on
the Chevrolet to the platform on the
Cadillac and the threequarters elliptic
scroll on the Cunningham or the can
tileyer on the Buick and Rolls-Royce.
Yet, it is possible with n type of
suspension such as the semi-elliptic
to get about the same degree of riding
comfort on a great variety of cars.
This type of suspension is used on
more than half the chassis models in
this country and in this group are some
very easy riding cars. One OF the
makes that has a most advanced form
of suspension known as the double
semi-elliptic transverse or Brush sus-
pension, comes regularly equipped with
shock absorbers. which bears out the
point l make, that the springs them
selves are a compromise design. the
shock absorbers doing the work where
in the springs are deficient.
Function of the Leaves
The springs are composed of leaves
which slide over one another when the
As they slide they create heat or
friction. This action plus the number
of leaves and their size determine the
action of the spring. Now. if a
spring is too fast" in its action, it
is easy enough to add more leaves
make the spring stiffer-to slow it
down. This would increase the fric-
ton, but it would make the car hard
riding under all conditions. The aver
age designer who anticipates shock
absorber action makes the springs
lively" and then takes into considera-
ton the shock absorber action in
slowing down the springs at the
proper moment.
The name shock ahsorber covers a
greater number of devices. some of
which are not absorbers Of shock. As
a matter Of fact when a spring is
compressed or bent it has a certain

amount of energy stored in 1t and get
ting rid of that energy is the work of
the so-called shock absorber. The de-
vice is therefore rightfully called an
energy dissipator.
Slssors Type
The commonest form of shock alb
sorber and one which has stood many
years of trial is the scissors type in
which the energy of the spring is dis
sipated as heat generated by two
wooden discs rubbing against each
other. In this form of device there
are two arms one fastened to the frame
and another to the axle. / consider
this type the simplest and the best for
certain types of cars. This old type
brought about the Introduction of many
other forms such as the auxiliary
spring type. In this a coil spring is
made 10 compress by the action of the
leaf spring. that is the energy stored
in the Leaf spring is dissipated 10 part
through the coil spring. The trouble
with this and many other forms is
tltat only a small portion of the spring
energy is dissipatef. the rest going in
t" the car body there you feel 1t.
The more elaborate types of easy
riding attachments are those employing
OIL ana air or only oil, lneSe usually
consist of a cylinder and a piston, so
that as the leaf spring is compressed
or expanded, the piston works against
a volume of oil, which is forced slowly
through a small opening, thus prevent
ing the leaf spring from acting quickly.
These are effective devices. but they
cost a great deal, compared with the
scissors type, and they require care.
but for one who owns a large car and
can afford it, the hydraulic type of
new design is just the thing.
There also are a number of devices
known as rebound checks which are
simply brakes in their action. These
are not at all effective as true energy
dissipators, for all they do is prevent
rapid rebound Oh the first movement
of the spring when more than that is
needed. They do not produce the easy
riding that is had with the oil or fric-
ton type absorbers previously men
toned.

L have driven more than 1000 miles

1t is quite possible for new timing
gears to be set tight, then after some
running they will wear in and be quiet
er than at first. However 1000 miles
should be enough for a run-in. 1t
may be that the gears are not well
mated, or that they were installed
so as to mesh poorly. Tight gears will
growl without %slapping. Badly worn
gears will slap, as will those poorly
mounted with too much backlash.

REALTY TITLE

Cautions Owners Against In

"One Of the most essential
things about owning real estate is
to be certain about the title" de.

uncertainties and deceptiveness. To
the average man II appears to be a
mystery. For this reason he con-
Germs himself very little about its
validity when he purchases real
estate tor accepts 1t as security on
a loan.
The average man does not lay
much stress upon the fact that the
title is his right of ownership and
the foundation of his investment.
Usually as a precaution he asks
someone else IL the title is good
and II II IL safe to make an in
vestmsnt. In years gone by many
have obtained an abstract of title,
and an attorneys opinion thereon,
feeling that security and safety
were epitomized In these two old
methods of land title investigation.
Many persons cling to these meth.
DDS today. Others do not even
take that precaution.
1T 10 without doubt q fact that
the investor In real estate and real
estate mortgages needs protection
against loss caused by q defective
title. Little does the average man
realize that many times the profit
ana the revenue derived from an
Investment itself are consumed by
land litigation. Anyone who will
consult the records Of our courts

that there Is nothing so deceptive
