To test the secondary winding OF
an induction coil connect Il volt meter
and six-volt storage battery TO the

should be connected in series, that Is,
break the wire leading from battery
to coil and attach each terminal Of

Use Of Graphite.
It has always been the custom to
lubricatc universal joints by means Of
grease or graphite, because there is
great difficulty in keeping oil in the
joint. This part moves with great
rapidity when the mechanism is
in operation and needs the most effec-
tive fabrication. Recently it has been
found possible to Intricate the uni
versals by means of oil fed through
WlckS. In many cases tnls cnanee
would have to be the result Of altered
design, which the manufacturer Is
loa<h to do because of the cost.
Wick feed has the double advantage
of being economical as we'll as eftl'
cient. In operation the oil travels up
the wick by capillary attraction, just
as it does up lamp wick, and Is dis.
charged upon the surface requiring
fabrication. The oil spreads itself all
over the whole surface. and really this
method Is the next best thing to hav-
Ing the parts run In oil. The wick oil
cup does not require frequent filling
sd another advantage Of the system
is that dirt or foreign matter, even If
it Is present in the oil, cannot make
its way to the bearing surface.

Little fabrication Gets to

For several years past no wise mo-
torist has used grease as lubricant
for his transmission, yet many car
owners who ought to know better EN-
ploy this heavier lubricant. Grease
cannot flow to the bearing surfaces
and in the transmission the gears cut
q clean path through the grease when
it Is cold and run practically unlubri-
Gated thereafter. In addition, grease
has the unfortunate characteristic Of
carrying dirt and foreign matter that
it may pick up. 1t has distinct draw
backs as lubricant in any location.
Ssreeselv in cold weather, when 1t
ought never to be used. In Whit.
the grease Is almost certain to be-
come packed against the walls of any
case in which it is used, while the
gears operate entirely dry.
When grease is used in cups, it has
the characteristic of getting hard, so
that the cup cannot be turned down
properly, and little fabrication gets to
the bearing surface for which 1t is in
tended.
On practically all cars of any but
the most recent vintage grease cups
are fitted at various locations. If the
owner desires to substitute oil as a
lubricant for the grease he has prac-
tically to replenish the cups every day.
In many cases this would be worth
the increased labor.
Wick Feed Devices.
On the other hand, it may he posi-

Some of the newer car models have
been designed with central lubrcatins
points and with wick oiling devices
which require replenishment only once
or twice a season. At any rate the
substitution of oil for grease for al
most any fabrication service will be

With the onset Of cold weather

The gas responsible, carbon mon
oxid, is one which quickly overcomcs
persons exposed to it above certain
concentrations, so that 1t has been i'm
portant to determine the limits neces-
sary to cause fatality. In an endeavor
to determine this necessary cOncentra-
ton and exposure, Prof. Yandcl Hen
derson, with the aid of a number of
colleagues, carried on some studies
preliminary to the problems Of ventila-
ton involved In the proposed vehicu-
lar tunnel under the Hudson river.
Among other conclusions reached by
the experimenters, the most important
was the determination that, when the
time Of exposure in hours multiplied
by the concentration Of carbon mon
oxid in parts per 10000 Of air equals
three, there is no perceptihle physi-
ologic effect. When 1t equals six, there
is just a perceptible effect; when 1T
equals nine, headache and nausea are
induced; when 1t equals Is or more,
the conditions are dangerous to life.
