MUFFLER WORTHY
OF PROPER CARE
Device Has Distinct and Benefi-
cial Purpose and Should be
Kept Clean.

(By ERWIN GREER. President Greer
College of Automotive Engineering.)
Tucked away back under the car,
where it is out of sight and out of
mind, the muller is usually the most
neglected part of the car. Indeed, it
is "cut out" altogether by many just
as soon as the traffic cop is left be-
hind. 1t should not be so. The muf-
fler has a distinct and beneficial pur-
pose and is worthy of careful re-
gard. Without it there would be no
pleasure in riding and the pedestrian
and dweller by the roadside would
need pads on their ears. Those who
can remember the days before muf-
fers were required on cars will bear
witness to the necessity.
How Muffler Works.
This is why; In the operation of
the engine the exhaust valve opens
while the burned gas is yet under
pressure of % to 30 pounds a square
inch. Let directly into the air 1t
would knock a hole in it, and the
report would be d%eafening. There
would be no talking in the car or
Its vicinity. The muller provides
a chamber, where the exhaust gases
may expand and likewise cool,
thereby lessening the pressure. and
by permitting the gases to pass off
slowly through a multiplicity of small
passages the exhaust reaches the
air quietly, instead of with n rush
and a 'blg noise"
uAunfn1 Af tho muH1nr anh ha Plr
pressure Of unescaped gas prevent
the cylinders from being emptied of
burned gases. This prevents draw
Ing in a full charge of mix
ture on the intake stroke, the ex-
plosion is weak and power lessened.
1t would be possible to so clog the
exhaust that the throttle would be
useless; opening 1t would have no
effect. Likewise in starting. the first
explosions would choke the exhaust.
there would be n sputter and the en-
CINE would stop because so little
fresh mixture could enter the cylin-
ders.
Get Rid of Carbon.
The driver who uses kerosene In
the cylinders to get rid of carbon will
likely transfer 1t from cylinder to
muller unless he opens the cutout
when running the engine to blow out
the kerosene and carbon, for the mix
ture is nice and soft to plaster over
walls of the muller, and the heat will
quickly bake 1t into Il nice enamel,
covering holes and walls.
While the muller on most cars is
in a most i%nconvenlent place to get
at, the driver should take 1t OFF oc-
%casionnlly and clean It out, or expect
TO eventually have trouble, and per-
hnps have II blown of. This Is n
thing you are not likely to find Gov
cred by the manufacturers book, but
1t is none the less important.
