the better but smaller power plant
That power and speed can be OBJ
tained with engines less than half
the size of the average power plant
is only a matter of observing what
was accomplished with the 122 cubic
inch engines at the recent Indianapo-
lis race. 1t is typical of what can
be done here in America. if taxes on
engine dimensions continue to in
crease.
But the cost of building these small
and efficient high-speed engines
might make such a move impractical,
viewing the question from the stand
point of saving in taxes. And unless
the finest materials were used motor
lists would find that they were spend
ing for repairs considerably more
than what they were saving in taxes.
Would Double Basic Fee.
If American cars were suddenly
redesigned so as to save every car
owner a substantial proportion of the
registration fee, and if these more eff
clent cars could be made to sell at the
same price as cars now on the mar
ket, the motor-Vehicle departments
confronted with a slumping income
would simply double the basic fee per
unit of engine dimension or power
The car owner would find himself
paying just the same amount in
taxes and operating a type of car
which might not be as satisfactory
as anticipated. since it would repre-
sent what the engineers were forced
to and not what they would nor
mally aim toward.
Regardless of what opinions are
held as to proper engineering types
1t must be admitted that the taxation
methods now in force are tending to
make all cars lighter. shorter, cheaper
ana either less powerful or less reli
able (provided they are not more
costly in construction). This hinders
progress by discouraging the adop-
ton of new ideas in engineering. De-
signers find themselves working along
identically the same lines, keeping
ever in mind the objections which the
buyer will raise If taxation features
have not been carefully provided for
Engineers are by no means in ac-
cord upon various types of design,
as one might conclude from noting
the similarity in design of the aver
age car. But the taxation methods
help to keep them running in the
same grooves.
With taxes always on the Increase
the time is fast approaching when
registration methods will have a very
serious effect upon design. Desirable
design will be found only in those
exclusive cars built for people who
do not consider taxes in operating
machines.
Nothing could be more detrimental
to motoring, which gets back to the
fact that nothing impedes the prog
resS of motoring more than the IL
logical method of taxing cars for
specifications. Funds for the high
way departments must be raised, but
not at the expense of automobile
design.

If taxes had nothing to do with

No. 3-First PRINCIPLES.

Smith had had three lessons when
next L met him; so he imagined that
he was entirely familiar with the
elementary rules of driving a car.
AS I happened to be driving my own
car when 1 picked him up it looked
like good opportunity to suggest a
few things which the instructor un-
some queries, too.
I'D like to know" he said, watch
ing me shift into second. on a hill,
how you do that without making a
lot of noise"
"It would be easy for you," I re-
piled. ''if you knew why you have to
do it. A gasoline engine has no
power unless it has speed, thus you
gear 1t down with a transmission.
Gears will NOT mesh unless they are
rotating at or nearly at the same
speed. In order for quiet shift,
therefore, in dropping back to sec
ond' on a. hill you must first speed up
the clutch by speeding up the motor.
SO that the countershaft intermediate
gear will run the same speed as the
intermediate sliding gear, and mesh
with 1t. This is the rough idea, but
il you will remember II you will find
gear shifting an easy matter.
Engine Principles Explained.
"Because a gasoline engine has no
power unless it has speed is the rea
SON you must give it gas while you
are letting in the clutch when start
Ing, otherwise it Will stall. The
function of the carburetor is to con-
vert raw gasoline into gas vapor. 1t
cannot do this when the motor is
cold. Therefore, the engine must
start on raw gasoline, which is done
by pulling out the choker on the in
strument board. The air is cut off as
the raw fuel sprays up into the cylin-
ders, so you can see why it is waste
full to leave the choker out when the
engine has warmed up"
Smith then went on to say that for
the most part the functions OF the
various controls were fairly clear to
him with the one exception Of the
spark control lever. He wanted to
know why it was necessary to place
it in a. retarded position when crank
ing the engine.
This is a subject in itself" I ex-
planned. but. roughly. the idea is
this: The gasoline vapor in the cylin-
ders really does not explode in the
sense that dynamite does. 1t simply
burns at a furious rate, which. con-
sidering the work it does. may be
regarded as an explosion. But since
the vapor takes a measurable time to
burn, 1t IS necessary to time the
spark to ignite the vapor before the
pistons reach the top of their COM
preston strokes. When the spark
comes at this time it is said to be
advanced When 1t comes Just at
the top of the piston stroke. 1t is
retarded When the motor labors
as on a steep hill. the spark must be
retarded Just enough to keep the
motor from knocking. Whenever an
engine is cranged there is danger of
backfiring, due to the spark arriving
at the wrong time, or while a valve
is open. With the spark advanced

that while he went through the

BY WILLIAM ULLMAN.

Nothing has offered more of a
stumbling block to the advance of
automobile design and the develop
ment of motoring than the systems
of taxation now in effect.
The evils of registration methods
are SO cumulative in effect as to be
little noticed while the process is
going on, and thus become doubly
dangerous. In designing cars engi-
neers must always keep in mind the
effect of the size of the registration
fee on the sale of the product; and
the buyer of the car, likewise, is
thinking in terms of taxes.
Horsepower. wheelbase. weight and
list price are all being used in vari-
GUS localities as the basis for the
registration fee: and while other con-
siderations in the making and the
buying of car may come first the
influence of the method of taxation
upon design, rendering it popular or
unpopular. is readily appreciated
from a glance at the facts.
1t is held that the radical fees de-
manded of European car owners are
directly responsible for the develop
ment of the small motor, which many
consider an engineering achievement.
Granting that the system of radical
taxation OF cylinder dimensions has
actually produced a more desirable
type of motor i: is evident that mo-
toring in Europe is no better off than
it ever was.
Just as soon as taxing for engine
dimensions ceases to be a profita BILE
way OF raising the necessary funds
some other feature of the automobile
probably will be selected as the basis
for taxation, Gripping design along
some other lines.
Taxing Methods Illogical.
There has never been any evidence
OF logic in the taxing of cars. The
fact of the matter is that the motor
vehicle departments require funds to
operate with, to enforce the laws and
build the roads. The money has to
be raised somehow. But why must
this process interfere with the de-
velopment of the automobile?
At the present time there is great
need of increase in the power of
the average automobile engine. City
traffic. for instance, could be speeded
up considerably if engines were cap
able of accelerating quickly without
the necessity of shifting through
three combinations of gears.
Quicker acceleration would elimi-
nate many accidents by enabling the
driver who is caught in dangerous
promptly. And this acceleration is
only possible through more power:
but here is the taxation method of
crippling the whole process.
1t is true that with more efficient
design, the use of better engineering
principles and better materials more
power is possible with smaller en-
8ineS; but the motoriSt is likely to
prefer the excessive tax on the larger

GAUGING PLUG GAPS.

II no spark plug gauge or means Of
measuring the gap between the points

comparing IL with those plugs which
are doing their duty If the points of

distance apart the points of the odd
plugs ought to be made to conform.
The majority of the plugs are quite
likely to be off standard

PREVENTING RAIN TROUBLE

When caught in a driving rain
storm and forced to stop until the
worst is over, wetting of the coil
and other electric equipment under
the hood can be prevented by turning
the back of the car to the wind. This
also obviates a lot of annoyance from
leakage around the windshield.
When making an improvised covering
for the gas tank filler pipe TO take
the place of a lost cap, be sure to
allow some opening for air. other
wise the vacuum feed system will
not operate.
