Los sistemas de valvulas son mu-
chos lvariados Y cada sisten1a tie
ne sus mediadores adictos. Entire
estos sistemas estan primero las
valvulas de huso de muneca, 81
guiendo en- segundo lugar las val
vulas de manguito; en- el tercer
lugar estan consideradas las val
vulas de rotacion, y por estas es
pOr las que ingenieros y mecani-
cos de automobiles SC estan inte-
resando grandemente. Las valvu-
las de huso de muneca Sc ope-
ran por varios metodos Y las hay
en- motores ccnocidos con ell nom
bre dc cabeza de 7, en- motores
de cabeza de l., segun la forma.
Por algunOs amos, ell sistema de
palancas dobles en- las valvulas de
los motores de cabeza de T Sc CON
sideraba como Ell non pl1,S ultra
en- la perfection de automobiles.
La ventaja teorica de este siste-
ma de colocacion de las valvulas
conSistia Ell que la maquina eX-
traeria una nueva carga de mix
tura de gas del recesit de uu lado
del cilindro, donde ell orificio de
entrada de la valvula y "a chispa
estan colocados y despueS lie las
explesiones recogen la bayura que
haya en- la valvula de salida colo
cada al lado opuesto del ciiindro.
Pero este tipo de motor salia cos
tando caro-, porque todo tenia que
ser doble. las chumaceras, las pa
lancas, etc. ademas dc que G, gas
to de combustible salia demssiado
caro-. Por este los ingenieros pro-
dujeron ell motor de cabeza de l.,
con las valvulas de cntrada y de
salida a un solo lado. Con este
hubo gran ventaia canada. Una
sola palanca de roldanas ovaladas
levapta todas las valvulas un
tempo, Y con un solo bolson en- el
cilindro reducia la pardida de COM
bustible Y esta gran sencillez fu6

carros y tambien favor de
los duenos de talleres de re-
paracion. Este sistema est d
ahora en- gran uso. Pcro con
todo este, los ingenieros no que
daron satisfechos y tuvieron ne
cesidad de producer algo mejor,
inventaron la valvu'a con IN ca

tor dc valvula de manguito, hubo
un gran alboroto acerca de que
estas valvulaS no podrian enfriar-

valvuias Sc calentarian y despues
Sc pegar1an, que Sc gastarian
muy pronto y sc gotearian. Pero
este sistema de valvulas de man
quito sale costoso, Y tiene un tipo

tema de valvulas de rotacion. Lo
principal es colocarla la cabe-

un tubO c6DcayO de una flecha
con agujeros Simetricos, es gira-

Lo raro de todo clio, es que eli

Principles Firmly Based.
"He is strong in his principles and
unyielding on a point of honor, but

Their own self-respect and a de-
