Into this meeting will come, it is

might even force itself upon the nail
that had punctured the first tube.
thus resulting in a double puncture
and fat tire.
Here the tubes would be under COM
paratively low air pressure. SO that
friction between them would be min
imized In event of the puncture of
one tube the good tube, being under
comparatively low pressure, could
expand to fill the gap without danger
of bursting. Since the walls of the
balloon tire are SO flexible no par
tire if the motorist drove on for the
rest of the day relying upon the one
tube, even though its pressure
might not be quite up to normal.
The plan calls for considerable ex-
perimentation, but it looms upon the
automotive horizon as one of the
coming things. With so slight
margin between loW-preSSure bal
loon and fiat tire. and SO great an
annoyance to the motoriSt when the
margin is removed, it is logical that
tire experts should now turn their
attention to the development of the
two tube, or perhaps multitude, tire.
With the remarkable development
of the clutch and the extreme fexi-
bility of power plants, there are rea-
sons to suspect that one of the next
big developments Will be the elimina-
tion of the transmission for all nor
NAL driving. The car will be in high
gear constantly, with the engine per-
fectly capable of starting off without
extra gearing down and the clutch
built TO absorb all shock. There
would, of course, be a special pedal
or lever to operate a low gear in
emergencies, as when starting off on
very cold day before the engine has
warmed up to its full power output
or when climbing mountains.
Fourth Speed Means Economy.
This development, however. is said
to be scheduled to follow the develop
ment of the electric gearshift and to
be adopted only if the latter proves
unsatisfactory. Much interest centers
on the development of the electric
gearshift, because many see in it's
great simplicity the development of
the fourth speed idea in America.
Fourth speed on this side of the
water has never been popular be-
cause it has always been as much as
the American public could do to han
die three speeds.
Opinions are divided as to the ad-
vantages of eliminating the transmits
sion, and for that reason there are
many to boost the electric gearshift
as a means of retaining this time
honored unit 1t is contended that
the more the transmission comes
into play the less refinement is re-
quired in engine and clutch Run
ming in constant high" experience
shows. requires great engine f1exi-
bility which can be obtained only by
means of the best materials and
workmanship, and often at the ex-
pense of great surplus of power.
The transmission has always
served as a tremendous help to the
ngine and clutch. If it can be re-
tanned without annoyance to the
motorist the chances are that it will
not depart as quickly as some people
imagine.
Some of the biggest developments
Evening star., 1924-06-29

are going to be along the lines of
engine diet" For years the engine
has been fed carelessly, and it is. only
now that engineers are developing
ways and means of feeding it clean
air, moist air, air of proper tf:mpera-
ture, filtered oil, waterless gasoline
In this air, oil and gas cleaIlers will
play an important part, and since
this development produces smaller
and more efficient engines the super
charger for extra power, when
needed, is expected to make it's ap-
pearance on modern cars.
The motor world is rapidly awak-
ening to the fact that it is paying
for a lot of power it seldom uses. 1t
insists upon power because of the
possible need for it, but the time
must come when super-power will
be an accessory and not a constant
feature to be wasted mile in and mile
out.

These demands must be met with new

THREE SAFETY HINTS.
Cotter Pins Should Be Examined
From Time to Time.

See that the cotter pins are
actually in their place, holding the
nuts on the various units of the steer
ing assembly. New cotters now and
again are good insurance against
trouble, though the failure of a cot
ter pin to hold its nut is not likely
to cause a breakdown if the motoris st
inspects the assembly as often as he
should.
Before starting off in a sedan see
that the locks on the doors are re-
leased. There never was a driver
