When something goes wrong with
the speedometer itself the car owner
Is advised to take IL TO the service
station. He would stand Just as
much chance repairing his watch
as this instrument.
There are. however, other derange-
ments that he can repair. For in
stance, the coupling at the bottom OF
the speedometer head sometimes
shakes loose, so that, while the shaft
still revolves, the dial does not regis
ter. To fix this the end CT the shaft
should be loosened from the head,
pushed firmly in place and frightened
again. The flexible shaft may bind
in the housing due to abrupt bends.
Then the speedometer viii fail to reg
lister. When trouble occurs look first
at the shaft and see that II has as
few bends as possible and these long
and sweeping.
Another thing 10 watch is In max
ing a change from one size tire 20
another ON the wheel that drives the
speedometer. This win make the
readings inaccurate. Even a change

Attention.

One device about motor car
which generally receives no care
from the owner. perhaps because It
requires SO little, is the speedom-
eter. This useful and delicate
mechanism is TO the automobile
what the pressure gauge is 10 the
steam boiler. II is in a manner OF
speaking a safety device; II tells you
when you are putting on too much
steam"
More than that, however, the
speedomoter Is the faithful friend of
the careful motorist. II has been
called the watchdog OF the automo-
bile, but .it might more truly be
called tho watchdog Of the owners
pocketbook.
The wise automobilist checks up
on his speedometer periodically to
insure it's accuracy. Then he checks
up regularly on the speedometeris
readings 20 make sure he is getting
maximum gasoline and oil mileage.
Thus his speedometer tells him IL
the component units of the car are
functioning as they should.
Some knowledge of the speedom-
eter's makeup Is essential to the
car owner who would keep II in
proper condition Tor the work Il
must do.
