OXIDATION CAUSES
TROUBLE IN VALVES
Burning Under Severe Tenn.
peratures Results in Leaks
and Loss Of Power.

Burning under severe motor tenn.
peratures, technically known as
oxidation, Is by far the most COM
mon cause Of automobile valve trou-
BILE and loss of power.
This valve burning tendency Is
characteristic of the modern motor
because designers, to gain lighteSt
possible weight, have eliminated &
large percentage Of metal which
once served as cooling areas for the
valves.
The demand for higher engine
speeds and the declining quality Of
gasoline, with greater heat content
per gallon, also are partly respon-
sible.
When the valve begins to leak,
exhaust gases blow through without
interruption. Grooves and channels
are burned into the valve seat, con.
stantly becoming larger until COM
preston power and mileage per
gallon Of gasoline are often cut in
half.
Burning sometimes causes valve
leakage by warping the valve from
Its original shape, making it unable
to seal the combustion chamber as
intended, at regular intervals.
1t also frequently causes the sur
face of the valve to scale off, leav-
ing small holes which are soon en-
larged by the exhaust gases. Par.
ticles Of carbon lodging between the
block and the valve head create an
other condition which exposes the
valve to the burning action Of the
exploded gases as they rush through
to the exhaust pipe.
A new material called Silcrome,
claimed irnpervious to any, known
motor temperature, has been de-
veloped and supplied as standard
equipment in many automobiles to
overcome trouble and expense re-
sulting from extreme valve tempera.
lures.
( A recent test under direction OF
the United States Government in a
180-horsepower E3 Wright airplane
motor showed such valve to be in
perfect condition after 800 hours al
full load with the throttle wide
open.
Some valves of other materials
broke down by severe burning
within forty hours or less, accord
ing to the report.

Think You Could
Run Auto With
Logs as Wheels?
Yet First Disks Were Tree.
:. Trunks, Says Authority
on Auto Topics.
By G. c. CARLTON.

.6SCE&EAFye NAOtuEs w AHCcA NUkPUk 0G1VAA'
It is a far, cry from the modern
earliest civilization. Yet there is
one element that both have In COM
mon-the wheel.
The origin of this most vital part
Of every motor car is 80 ancient It
cannot be definitely established. 1t
seems to have been known, however,
to. the earliest peoples OF whom there
is, any record.
One of the most ancient reproduc-
tons of wheel occurs in the sculp-
ture OF Aztec civilization, A four
spoked wheel, intertwined with a
serpent, ia prominent among Aztec
religious symbols.
The generally accepted theory is
that the first wheel was probably a
thick log cut from tree trunk,
most likely for use as firewood.
Next came the discovery that the
roller need not bear on the ground
its fun length, the support Of the
two extremtties being sufficient.
Thus two rough wheels. Joined by e.
beam, first square and then round,
resulted. In this construction the
wheels and axle turned together, the
load being carried on a rude plat
form. held in place on the axle by
means OF thole pins such as are used
on boats.
!. This type Of conveyance was hard
to turn, so instead OF fixing the axle
in a square hole, 1t was ultimately
rounded at the ends. and fitted
loosely into the wheels, permitting
the wheels to turn independently.
Also the ends Of the axle were made
conical, enabling adjustment for
wear. This type OF construction
was long used by Romans and is
still to be seen in certain sections Of
Chile.
The next step was the breaking Of
the solid wheels into three parts
hub, spokes and felloe. The first
wheels OF this type OF which there is
record were employed by the Egyp.
tians on their war chariots. Next
the Romans fashioned wheels that
were beautiful as well as excessively
strong, for war purposes. Many OF
the Roman wheels were made OF
metal, exquisitely adorned In copper,
silver and gold.
Following the fall OF Roman civil.
cation and the destruction of the
magnificent Roman roads, wheeled
couveyances fell into disuse for cen.
turtles, except for agricultural pur'
poses. II was not until the seven
teenth century that wheeled vehicles
were again invested with respecta-
bilIty.
It remained for Yankee ingenuity
to bring the wheel to its present
state OF development and perfection.
With the advent of the motor car,
problems developed due to the
-. ~
cOuntered.
I Successful solution Of these prob
len1s has made the modern automo-
bile wheel one OF the most unfail-
ingly reliable mechanical units ever
