mobiles. provided we continue to exert
a proper degree of selling effort. And
of course, we do not intend to be at all
lax in this last respect.
'sThe trying times of the last year
or so have, l hope, eliminated that
element of irresponsibility, of unwar-
ranted and too often positively foolish
enthusiasm which has worked more
harm to the recognized stability of the
business than all of the other adverse
conditions combined.
''As q matter of fact, the graver pro-
blems Of the industry are going to be
solved only by a lot of careful and
sane thinking and we find that those
who have weathered the recent storms
to their best possible advantage are
the conservatives and sane thinkers.
1T is the old story of the survival
of the fittes,t and once the industry is
ridden of its evil elements. the future
is by no means unpromising.
Il am convinced beyond doubt that
there will be gradual business awak-
ening during the coming months which
will be beneficial to every deserving
unit among the automotive makers.
IAN over the country there is evi-
dence of renewed confidence among the
buyers, and while, of course, certain
sections will be much more slow in re-
turning to normal than others. we can.
believe. assure ourselves that condi-
tions, even in the hardest hit districts,
will be on the mend rather than on
decline"

No Substitutions
Of Cheap Materials
in Willard Battery

1t is hardly possible to pick up a
newspaper these days without noting
a reference to something new in the
motOr-car industry. improvements in
springs, bodies, carburetors, motors.
and other important working parts of
the car are seemingly everyday affairs
Altogether the tendency is to de-
crease first cost as far as is consist ent
with good workmanship and material
keeping constantly in mind the fact
that long life must be maintained and
upkeep cost must be held down to q low
level.
The most notable exception to the
general tendency to cut manufacturing
costs by substituting new materials,
new designs, and new methods of pro
duction, is the automobile storage bat
terry. The staunchness with which the
principal battery manufacturers hold
to their standards and to the details of
construction of their product is strik-
ing proof of their faith that each is
making battery which in his opinion
as good as can be built.
Contrary to the general demand for
lower priced materials and parts to be
put into cars, one of the largest bat
terry manufacturers, the Willard Stor-
age Battery company of Cleveland, re-
ports that there is more general use
than ever before of their threaded
rubber battery. This is higher
priced product than the other types of
automobile batteries which it manu-
factures, but Notwithstanding that fact.
there are 191 builders of motor cars
and trucks furnishing this battery as
standard equipment.

ASK ME"l
Questions Anas,spoN
&a.nY QlEazeA =

Dear Barney Oldfield: am a con-
slant reader of your wonderful articles.
Please tell me the meaning Of a full
floating rear end. Why have some
cars twin ignition when they use only
one at time? Is there a carburetor
without an adjusting needle Wv. c.
A so-called full floating rear axle
is one in which the axle shafts float
that is. they do not support the weight
of the car, but simply turn the rear
wheels. The latter rest on bearings
outside of the axle tubes.
Some cars have two separate igni-
ton systems which may be used in
dependently or together In some cars
one system is used only for starting
in others there are two sets Of spark
plugs and both sets fire at the same
time. each set being fed by separate
ignition unit.
Most of the modern carburetors are
adjustable nozzle types. This is
true of the plain tube Stromberg and
the Zenith.
Dear Barney Oldfield: Win you
please give me the reason and solution
for a continuous loud annoying grind
in the transmission of my car when
running at any speed with chains on
a level smooth road? When the car
is pulling on hill the grinding ceases
but reappears again when returning to
a level road. I was advised that this
grinding is due to the action Of the
chains on the gears in the transmission
and that the effect is not harmful to
the mechanism.
Also please explain why the gears
slip ont from second speed when driv-
ing down hills of about quarter Of
mile in length. Before slipping out
there is sharp piercing grind not un-
like the regular second speed noise.
My car is practically new and has been
driven carefully for 5000 miles. The
transmission is of the selective sliding
gear type. with transmission Of power
through two universal joints to a full
floating type axle.-J. A. B.
The use of chains on the rear wheels
should have no effect on the gears in
the transmissions. If you are sure it
is the transmission that grinds there is
only one thing to do and that is have
the unit removed for inspection as un
doubtedly either the bearings arc
badly worn due to lack of fabrication or
the gears are worn or both. Excessive
Great Falls tribune., 1922-03-12

others, only oil holes. In the latter
engines you can be sure of rocker arm
noise developing in three months unless
you oil the bearings every day.
In some engines valve slaps will de-
velop for no apparent reason. The
slap is caused by the valve head drop
ping against its seat with too much
pressure. Sometimes simply turning
the valves and spring around to reseat
the valve stops the slap. Moreoften
you must wait until the valve is re-
ground. Sometimes after grinding a
slap will develop, owing to the spring
pressure being too great.
The timing gear drive of any engine
is oiled automatically from the crank
case. In silent chain drives there is
usually an adjustment for wear. When
the adjustment is too tight the front
end growls and when it is too loose
the chain slaps.
The fan bearing is another part that
should receive daily attention, for the
fan operates at a very high rate Of
speed. Once the fan bearing wears
you are bound to have a disagreeable
noise. In many makes Of engines there
are noises which cannot be curbed by
any means. Fan noises and front end
noises ave common in these types
and there is nothing the owner can do
to remedy them.

HUPP WILL DOUBLE

ON NEW SCHEDULE
President of Company Is Con-
vinced There Will Be Ready
Market for Hupmobiles.

The plans Of Hupp Motor Car cor
poration calls for the building of twice
as many cars this year as in 1921.
Such an increase in production might
be regarded as an indication that the
Hupmobile people are of the opinion
that the industry is entering into an
era of unprecedented prosperity that
times are returning when motor cars
will be sold as rapidly as they are man
ufactured and that the makers will
never be able to build quite enough of
them to supply the demand.
This is not the case at ALL SAYS
G: 2. Hastings, president of the Hupp
Motor Car corporation I'VE aren't
increasing our production for any rea-
son Of that kind. We are doing it,
simply because our knowledge IF the
intimate affairs of our organization
convinces us that there will be a ready
market this year for that many Hup-

bearing wear would also account for
the gears jumping out Of mesh.
Grinding noises coming from the car
sometimes appear to eminate from the
transmission, whereas, they really come
from the rear axle. But regardless of
the source the use Of chains would
not cause the noise.
