RIGHT ESTIMATE
OF STEEP GRADE
Not One Driver In Hundred Has
Proper Calculation Of In
cline of Road.
tBy ERWIN GREER, President of Gree
College Of Automotivs Engineering. Chi

tny ERWIN GREER, Prssldent Of Greer
"How steep is the grade on that
road? Well, l should say that 1t is
all of 30 or 35 per cent. Butt didn't
have any trouble In making 1t with
my car. No sir. She pulled it like
a house atire. Made 1t on high all
the way. Passed two cars laboring
along in second"
Has Not Projer Estimate.
How often, with variations, do we
hear these words from drivers proud
Of the achievements Of their cars fire.
Quently to the disparagement Of high
er-priced cars from which, presumably,
better performance should be ex-
pected. After listening to statements
Of this kind from hundreds of tour
lists anxious to tell of their trips and
the remarkable exploits of their cars,
one is at least convinced that not one
man in hundred has the proper esti-
mate Of the percentage of grade en-
countered. No reliance is to be placed
on such estimates expressed by any
other than one who knows from ac-
tual measurements with gradopeter.
Approaching an ascent the grade
naturally appears sleeper than 1t ac-
tually is. This, coupled with the per,
formance of the Individual car which
may or may not make the grade. in
high gear gives rise to an incorrect
estimate Of the percentage Of the
grade.
Many motorists do not understand
the process by which the designation
of grade percentage Is arrived at,
believing that a 20 per cent grade, for
instance, is one which rises ut an
angle Of 20 degrees from the hori-
zontal. This is erroneous.
How to Find Percentage.
The designation Of 20 per cent to a
grade means that in the grade there
is perpendicular rise Of 20 feet in
100 horizontal feet. In other words,
to seneralize the numerical percentage
Of grade indicates that number of
feet perpendicular rise In 100 hori-
zontal feet. In relation to degrees it
will be found that grade percentage
properly arrived at in this way forms
an angle equal to about one-half Of
the angle formed when the numerical
expression Is taken to mean degrees.
Definitely, a 30 per cent grade is
about one-half as steep as the grade
formed by 30-degree angle from the
horizontal.
The ,steepest grade on which a car
can obtain traction Is 45 per cent, and
this is very stifr grade, indeed. You
can be reasonably certain that If you
have estimated a grade as 80 or 35
per cent and your car pulls it in high
gear that your estimate Of the roads
steepness is probably double or even
more than 1t actually is.

MEANS OF STARTING
CAR ON LOW BATTERY
Method of Short circuiting 10 Re-
duce Resistance.

II one cell OF the storage battery il
out Of commission, the starter cannot
be operated and the engine may be-
difficult to start because the internal
resistance of the dead cell may be so
great that it does not allow sufficient
current to pass to produce spark at
the plugs when the engine is cranked
by hand. The resistance of the dead
cell may be overcome and the full cur
rent of the remaining cells made avail
able II, after the cell at fault is To-
Gated, wrench or " piece of
metal is held firmly in contact with
the posts of the cell.
After the engine starts, the wrench
may be removed because the generator
will supply the current for ignition If
the engine is kept running fast enough.
Care should be taken to use this ex-
pedient only on cell that is dead, as
an active cell would be injured by
the short circuit. The dead cell may
be quickly found by using hydro
meter or voltmeter.
II the current is still insufficient to
produce a satisfactory spark and the
engine does not start, the resistance
in the circuit to the spark coil may be
further reduced by placing a shunt
around the resistance coil usually
found on the top Of spark coils. This
shunt may be Of copper wire and need
not be securely connected since 1t is
advisable to remove it, or at least dis
connect one end after the engine
starts. [.t
