PLAN FOR CLEAR WINDSHIELD
Small Bottle of Alcohol and Glycerin
and a Soft Cloth Is All
That is Needed.

There are many inquiries for some
thing which will keep the windshield
clear enough for careful. driving dur
ing storm. Only one who has sat be-
hind foggy windshield will know the
feeling of anxiety almost helplessness
which the driver has.
There are number of mixtures sold
which are guaranteed to keep rain off
the windshield, but a very simple one
may be made by any driver and be
carried in the door pocket for instant
use
A small bottle filed with alcohol
and glycerin, half and half. and a soft
cloth to apply it, are all that one
needs. 1t is not necessary to paint the
whole glass with this Take a strip
six or eight inches wide and the height
of the windshield and coat 1t With the
mixture and the rain or snow will not
stick to that part.

Capacity Circuits
Are Hard to Use
More Adjustments Than
With InductiveIy and Di-
rect Coupled Outfit

In receiving radio signals there are
certain essentials without which audi
Bile reception is impossible. First
comes the antenna system, comprising
a metallic structure whose function it
is to absorb the energy in the trans
mitted wave and then to concentrate
it into the receiving apparatus. Sec
ond a ground connection with the re-
ceivng apparatus interposed between
the antenna proper and the ground.
Third, the receiving apparatus whose
primary purpose is to further intensity
the energy absorbed from the trans
mitted wave and. lastly, a detector
comprising a transformer element to
change the high frequency radio cur
rent as received to lower frequency
capable of energizing telephone re-
ceiver to produce an audible signal.
Before entering too fully into the dis
cussion of receiving circuits it will per-
haps be wen to consider briefly the
manner in which circuits are coupled
or connected together
Coupling is term used to indicate
the manner in which circuits are con-

WHAT NOT TO DO
With CAR MOTOR
Worn Pinions and Differential
Bearings Are Result of
Poor Driving of Auto.

(By ERWIN GREER, President Greer
College OF Automotive Engineering
Chicago.)
Rear axles today as whole are
mighty well made but they would give
far better and longer service if the
driving were properly done,
Quick engagement of the clutch,
heavy overloads, even though for an
instant, harsh application of brakes
on rough roads, and lack of lubrica-
tion are some of the causes of worn
pinion and dlfferential bearings and
worn gears.
Cause of Unpleasant Noises.
The average car has an adjustable
driving pinion and differential unit.
When new these bevel gears operate
so that the gears mesh in one certain
way. If a bearing wears and allows
the pinion to change its mesh, or if
the differentia bearings wear and al
low the whole unit to shift away from
or toward the pinion, there is bound to
be noise produced and noise of an
unpleasant character.
Gears Not Running True.
The bearings, if they are of the ball
type with ball sepalators or cages,
may show a breaking down of the
cage. Pieces of the cage fall between
the gear teeth, chipping them and
causing more noise The bearings
themselves then allow more freedom
of movement of the differential or
pinion. 1t is absolutely necessary that
the two gears remain in fixed posi-
ton, and as soon as there is an I'M
usual noise from the axle, it is warn
ing that the gears are not running true
or that there is solid matter between
the teeth

| HAND SIGNALING BY
DRIVERS NEGLECTED.
Five Maneuyers Indicated by
Arm Hung Out Over Side.

Relative to safe and sane automO-
bile traffic control, it is hard to under
stand why such an important matter
as hand signaling by drivers has been
universally neglected. At present, IL
at all, the arm is hung Imply over the
side of the car and is supposed to in
dictate one of five maneuvers-right
turn, left turn, complete turn, reverse
or stop.
Any decently cautious driver not
being a mind reader, naturally slows
down because the signal is not in
teIligible and the entire line of traf-
fic is retarded correspondingly. If
the signal of the leading car had been
a definite one, there would be little
need for such confusion. Adoption of
an accepted signal code is the only
solution to this difficulty and would
not be difficult thing to accomplish.
1t is possible that the complete turn
signal could be eliminated and with
the aid of four others complete in
formation transmitted to the car be-
hind.
For instance-the left arm extended
horizontally from the car with fist
closed and one finger extended could
indicate a left turn. The hand ex-
tended with palm forward could indi-
cate a right turn. Hand extended with
palm to the rear could indicate re-
verse. Arm raised up and down could
indicate stop.
At present, drivers employ signals
Of their own invention or use the same
signal to indicate one of many moves
consequently, the signaling is nearly
valueless. The fact that there is an
attempt to use these signals shows
how willing drivers would be to use a
definite system if one were provided
for them.

Condensers Control All the Tuning in
the Capacity Coupled Set.

nected together. Three distinct kinds
of coupling are recognized and classed
as direct, inductive and capacity.
Capacitively coupled circuits are
those in which condensers are used to
connect the primary and secondary cir
cults
This type of coupling is called cleo
trostatic because condensers function
only by reason of their electrostatic
field A simple circuit of this type Is
shown in the accompanying diagram.
The primary circuit is essentially a
parallel resonant circuit as distin-
guished from the series resonant cir
cults that are common in the direct
and inductively coupled circuits.
In general, capacitively coupled cir
cults tune more sharply and are some
what more efficient than the other
types just considered Adjustments,
however, are more critical and there
are generally more adjustments to be
made than is the case with the Undue
lively coupled and the direct coupled
circuits.

How to Build and Use
Vernier Condenser

This vernier condenser consists of
a small semicircular piece of tinfoil
glued to the panel front and connect
ed to the stationary plates of the va

of the vernier is a small circular piece
of sheet brass with another piece of
brass soldered to the center to make
the whole one-eighth inch or little
more in thickness Through this cen
ter is drilled a hole the size of the
shaft. 1t should fit snugly on the

it will not jar out Of position. A COM
position handle is fastened to the NOV
able plate and is long enough to ex-
tend out past the circumference of the
dial. The space between the tinfoil and
the movable plate should be about one
thirty-second inch, but care must be
taken that this arrangement does not
short circuit the condenser. To pre-
vent this, small insulating washer
can be placed on the condenser shaft
so as TO be between the stationary
and movable plate on the vernier.
