EASIEST METHOD TO
GET AT COMMUTATOR
Task Is SimpIified by Use of Thin
Wooden Paddle.

1t is difficult to get at commutators
as rule, due to the small opening at
the commutator end Of a generator or
starting motor. This requires that
some simple tool be made to get at the
commutator through one of the brush
holder openings. The easiest way to
do this is to take the cover of a cigar
box or some thin wood stock and make
a small paddle about or inches long
and about half the width of the brush
holder.
To use this simple arrangement for
cleaning generator commutators first
remove the most accessible generator
brush and then wrap strip of No. 90
sandpaper over the end Of the paddle
and use 1t through the brush holder
when the engine is running as one
would use hand lathe tool. This will
thoroughly clean the commutator and
do 1t evenly. Under no circumstances
use emery cloth or electrical cloth. as
emery is a conductor and will short
the commutator. Shorted armature
windings on most machines will make
themselves known by turning the seq
ments of the armature a blue color.
One shorted winding will make two
segments $50 degrees apart or one-half
way around the commutator change
color.
A dirty motor commutator causes
arcing and heating. This is also true
If the contact faces of the brushes are
cut and not smooth. If this condition
is found, it is best to smooth the faces
of the brushes, as they will cut the
commutator so badly in a short time
that 1t viii have to be refaced by TAX
ing cut off of it in a lathe.

DISK CLUTCH is
EASY IN ACTION
Mechanism of Unusual Qualities
and Unit of Almost 100 Per
Cent Perfection.
(By ERWIN GREER, President Gree
College Of Automotive Engineering

(By ERWIN GREER, President Greer
College of Automotive Engineering.
Chicago.)
The disk clutch Is a mechanism of
unusual qualities. Simple, easy to op-
crate, efficient and lasting. In view of
the severe work which it has to per-
form and the excellent manner in
which 1t does it, without attention,
makes 1t a unit of almost 100 per cent
perfection. There are times, however,
when one of these clutches after
period will begin to slip. This slipping
condition will usually develop after
the first two or three months service
If 1t is going to slip at all. and I am
now going to try to make it clear, the
reason of this and how to overcome it.
This clutch of the dry disk type is
made up of a number Of disks ar
ranged alternately with a steel plate
against one fabric lined. The edges of
the fabric-lined disks have series of
teeth cut around the outer diameter
which mesh with corresponding
grooves in the outer drum. The steel
disks have keyways out in the edge of
holes in the disks which engage In
keys in the internal drum. When the
clutch is engaged these disks are firm
ly compressed by two springs acting
against the compressor plate.
Height of Disks.
The height of the total number of
disks piled one on top Of the other
he xxyha In fha
clutch should equal or be slightly in
excess of the distance from the Shout
der to the edge Of the internal clutch
drum. When a car is new the lined
disks are bound to have high spots on
them and after a few hundred miles
running these high spots will be worn
down, resulting in a reduction In the
measure of the disk assembly. When
the reduction is sufficient to make the
measurement of the disk assembly less
than the measurement from the Shout
der to the edge of the drum. then the
compressor plate will strike the edge
of the drum and the pressure of the
springs viii be against the drum in
stead Of the disks, resulting in slip
ping clutch.
To Correct Slipping.
To correct this slipping condition
the only thing necessary is to add
something to the disk assembly in or
der to increase the measure of the disk
assembly. This can be done by in
stalling one extra disk and the best
place to put it is against the shoulder
of the drum. One disk Is usually suf-
fcient to make up the required
amount. Do not put too many disks
In as there would be a possibility of
the clutch not releasing properly. Very
often when one of these clutches starts
to slip the owner will pour gasoline on
It or tighten the springs. This usually
does not help much as In most cases
slipping is caused by the condition just
given.
Slipping Of the clutch is also caused
by improper pedal adjustment The
clutch pedal at all times should have
slight amount of play so that there
is no doubt that the clutch is being
held out by the pedal stop.
Do not pour oil in the clutch housing
as it will damage the clutch lining,
making it too soft. Keep the thrust
bearing creased.

Ancient sardis Rich in Relics.

Among the American archaeological
concessions in Asia Minor is the site
of Sardis, capital of the ancient state
of Lydia, which fiourished some 5000
years ago, notes the Detroit News. In
this city, one of the greatest in the
world, lived and reigned Croesus, last
king of the country, and proverbially
the richest of men up to that time.
This territory is considered exception
ally rich in archaeological material.
Prior to the late war many antiqui-
ties, including gems jewelry and
articles of gold, were dug up in Sardis
and carried to Constantinople. Ruins
of temples, sculptures and architecture
al works were also brought to light.
Last year additional relics were found,
among them thirty coins of Croesus.

Penalties On Pair Who Took Min Union Jobs Approved By State Body.

Bristol, Dec I-The action of the local masons' union, in placing a fine of $35 each on two union masons bn doing work a non-unin job in Bristol, has. been upheld by the state organization, to which the union men took an appeal, following their trial by the Bristol union. One of the men came from~New Britain, and the other from Meriden, both of them being so the testimony showed, on a non-union job. At their trial be- fore the local union they were found guilty and fined $35 and costs, and took an appeal to the board of direc- tors of the state board, which met Sunday in New Haven and decided against the two men.
 It was brought out during the meeting of the state organization that there Is a big shortage of labor the state, and in Bristol, a sufficient number of men cannot be obtained to carry on the work all ready started. Elmer Waterhousc, business agent of the Carpenters Union, and Alphonse Gosselin, busi- ness agent of the Masons' Union, say that they are unable to secure suffici- ent men.
