BEARINGS SUFFER
IN UNTRUE WHEEL
Says Proper Adjustment and
fabrication Will Insure
Steady System.

True running wheels are essential
il maximum tire mileage is to be
secured. Further than that. when
the wheels are not running true the
bearings suffer abnormal wear,
which shortens their useful life.
One of the essentials to insure true
running Of the wheels is proper al
justment and fabrication of the
wheel bearings. This must be done
at least three times a year.
Most cars have front wheel bear
ings of the roller type which are
adjustable simply by turning the
wheel nut. To do this remove the
hub cap. take out the cotter pin
locking the nut. and turn the nut
until the wheel win not turn freely.
The instant the wheel binds. which
may be felt by the hand. the nut
should be turned back to the near
est hole in the axle spindle and the
cotter pin inserted. 1t should be
noted that IL the bearing is too tight
1t will burn out and II il is too loose
the wheel will wabblc. so that care
must be exercised to get just the
right tension.
Practically all front wheels have
some form of adjustment, when they
bearing installations are usually
nonadjustabfe The bearings upon
which the rear wheels run are also
usually adjustable. With some float
ing axles IT is necessary to remove
the wheels to get at the adjustment
means. the bearing retainers. be-
causes this type of axle has Its
wheels resting on the outer ends OF
the axle shafts. the outer bearings
for the latter part being inside the
axle tubes. When the rear wheels
Of a semi floating axle are removed
the adjustment means is visible.
Generally this takes the form of
large serrated nut, often locked by
means OF pinch bolt, which is also
called a clamp bolt.
In this case the locking means Is
first loosened after the nut is tight
ened and then locked in place again.
BY tightening the nut end play In
the shaft Is removed and the wheel
once more runs true. The same test
should be applied here, the nut be-
ing frightened Just enough to permit
the shaft to be turned freely by
hand. There must be no END play
and no binding.
With the floating type of axle the
wheel rests on the bearings. which
are mounted outside the axle tubes.
Usually these bearings are Of the
roller type. carrying an adjustable
feature. but in al few instances they
are mona Unstable ball bearings. To
adjust the roller type. remove the
hub cap and withdraw the axle
shaft. Az usual thing there is a
nut and lock nut. The latter must
be loosened and the holding nut
frightened until the desired decree
of freedom in the wheel Is obtained.
without any play being evident. In
cars fitted with wire wheels adjust
ment of the rear wheel bearings de>
mands removal of the wheels.
The important things to remem-'
Der with regard to the wheels is
that they must run freely and that
the bearings are kept packed with
grease.

EXPERT RECEIVES
WELCOME In CITY
N. d. Chambers, Prominent
Auto Veteran, Now Estab-
lished Here.

With an experience of ten years
in the automobile field. n. D. Cham
bers. in charge of the motor car
department of r. McReynolds and
Sons, bids fair to rank as one of
the leaders of local motordom, ac-
cording to the sentiment along
auto row."
1t is the purpose Of Chambers to
completely sell" Washington with
the Willys-Knight and Overland
cars. Chambers has been manager
OF the Chester and West Chester
branches of the WHY'S knight
Overland Company, of Philadelphia,
Pa. He has also served in the ca
pacity of sales manager of over
land Harper Company at Philadel-
phia.
Prior to coming to this city
Chambers was assistant to George
d. McCutchon. who is president of
the willys-Knight Company, of
Philadelphia. He leaves a host of
friends in the Quaker City, having
been prominently connected with
many we'll known clubs in that
city. Pennsylvania, New Jersey
and Maryland are States which
have known his automotive activi-
ties. according TO reports.
Chambers has been in the city
for approximately four weeks.

BREATHING TUBE
MAIN FACTOR in
SMOOTH ENGINE
Little Known Part Of
Motor Connecting Link
With Big Duty.

Get acquainted with your breath
ing tube and consult It OCCASION
ally to find out IL all is well with
your engine. 1t should be easy TO
find, as IL also serves on most en-
gines to receive the oil. This. means
that II communicates directly with
. the interior of the crank case and
so can give us more or less infor-
nation regarding conditions inside.
First as to its purpose. Consider
ing single cylinder engine, we
have a piston moving up and down,
alternately drawing air up into the
lower part of the cylinder and then
expelling- II again. The crank case
is closed in to keep the oil In and
the dust out. But IL the air had
no way Of escaping IL would be
compressed on the down stroke. re-
tarding the piston and so cutting
down the power slightly. This
would not matter much for one
stroke but 1t would be serious
where the engine is to run con-
tinually. Again, a closed crank
case would cause such suction or a
partial vacuum on the up stroke.
which would hold back on the pis-
ton and again cause a loss of power.
For these two reasons all manu-
facturers fit a breathing tube to the
crank which allows the air to enter
and leave according to the move
ment of the piston.
Now, when we come to the four
cylinder engine, it would seem as
II the breather were no longer
necessary. because we have two
pistons moving down while two
others move upward. apparently
neutralizing each other. But on ac-
count of the angularity of the. con-
Meeting rod there Is a difference.
At a certain position the upper
ones are moving down faster than
the others are moving up. causing
pressure. and this condition soon
changes. so that the ones moving
down go more slowly and the up
moving ones make suction. Thus
the pressure f1uctuates very rapidly
and breather is necessary. This.
of course. applies also to the eight.
With the six-cylinder engine we
have condition which is even
worse. as we have two pistons NOV
ing down while four move up. max
ling suction. and then. two moving
up and four moving down. making
pressure. This also applies in a
lesser degree to the twelve.
When an engine is new there
will be very little fiuctuation of air
through the tube that the observer
can notice. but as the cylinders bo-
gin to wear there will be loss of
gas from the cylinders into the
crank case. This can be readily de-
tected by holding the hand over the
tube with the engine running. II
the engine is overheated smoke
from the burned oil will come out
of the tube. and this will be seen
in short puffs. Knowing this
method of diagnosis It will be easy
to find out IL the engine is losing
compression into the crank case.
