For Neat Backing

Handling a car around the garage
when the engine is cold can be
simplitied by allowing tile engine to
run a little faster than usual while
only partially engaging the clutch.
AS there is no heat in the power
plant and little effort required to roll
the car around a level garage floor
no harm is done to the clutch by do
ing this when necessary. On the
other hand, for neat backing into
the garage stall when the car has
just been brought in and the engine
is thoroughly warmed up the idea is
to run the engine as slowly as pos
sible and avoid slipping the clutch
which is then operating at normal
temperature. This can be accom-
plished by fully .retarding the spark.
With the engine warm and running
slowest the car can invariably be
hadled beautifully in a tight place.

and pinion gears considerably. If
the car is backed and moved about
with the gears constantly in low or
reverse the varying application of
power, either from the engaging of
the clutch Or the acceleration of the
engine. results in unnecessary stress
ses on The gears and the entire drive.
Furthermore, the car can be handled
so much better when it is coasting
in the garage. 1t can be brought to
stop with the brakes exactly
where desired, and without any of
the customary Jerking and bucking
observed when the car is left in gear.

Congestion of steam around a

When to Make Noise

Don't back the car without making
a commotiOn about it, particularly
when handling the car in traffic as
when parking. Pedestrians Have a
habit of considering themselves safer
by walking behind a car rather than
in front of it, and car that is being
backed silently may result in an I'M
FORTUNATE conflict. The necessary
warning in backing can be given by
running the engine at higher speed.
A chance pedestrian will either hear
the exhaust or see the smoke.

The Old Mechanic Saws;


It's just as important to know
what noises about a car mean moth
ing as to know those that are warn
ms of real trouble. Motorists are al
ways runnin' in here with wierd tales
about strange noises, and they're
usually puzzled just because they
start in by assumin' something SER
ious Is the matter.
One of the most perplexin' noises
n motor can make Is that caused by
n slippin' fan belt in cold weather.
The leather or the belt will slip
over the metal pulleys and cause a
noise that sounds like real trouble,
unless you start out by assumin' it
isn't anything serious.
A kink in the speedometer shaft
will cause terrible racket, and the
remedy Is often simply matter of
movin' the shaft little to one side
or the other in an effort to make it
run more nearly straight.

Watch the Curtains

When leaving curtained car
overnight in a public garage be sure
that none of the curtains are fasten-

will remember to enter it through the
exit used by the driver.
