DISK CLUTCHIS
EASY IN ACTION
Mechanism of Unusual Qualities
and Unit of Almost 100 Per
Cent Perfection.

(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-
which 1t does it, without attention.
makes it 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 | am
now going to try to make it clear, the
reason of this and how to overcome 1t.
This clutch of the dry disk type is
made up of number of disks ar
ranged alternately with a steel plate
against one fabric lined. The edges of
the fabric-lined disks have a 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
and arranged the same as when in the
clutch should equal or be slightly in
excess of the distance from the shoul-
der to the edge of the internal clutch
drum. When car is new the lined
disks are bound to have high spots on
them and after few hundred miles
running these high spots will be worn
down. resulting in 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 shoul-
der to the edge of the drum, then the
compressor plate will strike the edge
of the drum and the pressure Of the
springs will 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 nut 1t is against the shoulder
of ths drum. One disk Is usually suf-
ficient to make up the required
amount. Do not put too many disks
in as there would be 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
a 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 1t too soft. Keep the thrust

Wise Business Move.

The visit of the American silk COM
mission to Japan has brought forth
fruit. The object of the commission
was to try to induce the Japanese to
improve their raw silk and the meth
DDS of marketing it. To bring this
about a new silk bureau has been or
ganized by the department of agricu,-
ture at Tokyo, while the silk reelers
themselves have decided to employ
every possible means to improve the
quality of Japanese silk. Another sug-
gestion of the Americans, the amalga-
nation of smaller mills, Is being car
ried out. The Importance of the silk
industry is shown by the great in
crease in production. While in 1912
the value of the crop was 19O,0O0,00C

Fairy Tale
"MLARY GRAHAM BONNER
THE CIRCUS
"WARY GRAIAlN BCQVVtR
- asy.onI N xtsfln hsxstskn utAoA. -

A little boy named Billy was In the
looking at some of the animals there
and also there were some of the Liv-
ing Wonders sitting upon platform.
The giraffes were bowling their
heads, and making beautiful low, cor
dial bows and greeting the crowds
coming to the circus.
Billy was quite sure they bowed to
him several times so as to make sure
that he saw them.
And he bowed back, very politely.
The giraffes looked over the other
cages and down over the people. Oh,
how tall they seemed, and Billy felt
very small as he looked up at them.
After he had looked at them for
awhile he went and talked to the mon
keys and they answered him In their
squealing little voices which Billy
liked very much.
They ate popcorn which he gave
them and they took 1t in their hands
with delight. Then even more delight
edly they put it in their mouths and
chewed it and swallowed it
Next Billy went to see the white
tailed Gnu and his brother.
They had white tails and they both
looked cross and they shook their
heads as though to say:
We're not bowling to you. Most de-
cidedly not. We're letting you know
that we don't care whether you're here
or not.
I'VE are from Africa, though now we
travel around these parts"
Then the keeper who took care Of
The white-tailed Gnu and his brother
Palisadian., 1923-08-31

told Billy that they were so cross they
didn't even want to have their cages
cleaned.
He said they ate grain and bread
and hay and molasses, and SO Billy
knew that even though they did not
act very pleasantly at least they liked
some sweetness in their lives and had,
at least, what was known as "sweet
tooth.'
How many, many people Billy had
heard In his short lifetime say, when
they had been offered a piece of
candy:
well thank you, do believe l will

Yes, Billy had heard that speech
many time. 1t seemed to be one we'll
liked. he had decided.
And so now he thought Of 1t when
he heard that these animals liked mo-
laSSes SO much.
Well, as he was looking about, the
tallest man who was sitting upon the
platform by the tallest lady began to
speak.
The taliest lady had been selling pic
lures of herself and of the tallest man.
She had been saying:
"Now friends, don't you want q
souvenir picture of the tallest man in
the world? 1t costs but little and all
your life you can show your friends
the picture Of the tallest man whom
you have seen with your own eyes.
Come, friends. who'll be the first to
take advantage Of this great and won-
derful offer
Also | offer my own photograph for
sale. I have signed 1t as we'll Signed
you see. by the tallest lady in the
world"
That was the way she had been talk
ing and sometimes the smallest lady
who was sitting nearby had smiled
and nodded her head as much as to
say,
my time will come later"
She had smiled at Billy. too. and
Billy had felt that was a great honor.
But now the tallest man was speak
ing.
"The big show Is to begin in ten
minutes, folks! Get into your seats
for the big show. This department will
be open after the big show is over.
The parade will start now in exact
ly nine minutes"
Billy thought he spoke as though he
considered himself and the tallest lady
and the others dress goods or notions
or candy when he spoke of them as
"this department" but everyone took
the advice of the tallest man and
started for the big tent.
And now everyone around. ticket
man, program man, peanut man, every
one, began shouting:
"The big show is about to begin.
Hurry, folks. for the big show"
And when the excitement Of wait.
Ing Just seemed almost too much to
stand the band burst into music, the
parade began. The big show was

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

It 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 6 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 a 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 a hand lathe tool. This will
thoroughly clean the commutator and
do 1t evenly Under no circumstances
use emery cloth or electrical cloth. az
emery is conductor and will short

A dirty motor commutator causes
arcing and heating. This is also true
If the contact faces of the brushes are

is found, 1t is best to smooth the faces
OF the brushes, as they will cut the
