Lubricating Oil Pumped
Into Combustion Space

Complaints are often heard that the
action of the piston in an automobile
cylinder tends to pump the lubrlcating
oil up into the combustion space. A
simple remedy for this condition,
which is said to be satisfactory, Is to
round off very slightly the upper out
side corner of the upper piston ring,
and the lower corner of the lower ring.
This does not affect the compression
in the least. and the action is to per-
nit the upper ring to pass the oil ON
the cylinder walls on the up stroke.
instead of scraping 1t up to the top Of
the cylinder; while on the down stroke
the surplus oil is scraped back. On
the other hand, the up stroke of the
lower ring tends to carry the neces-
sary oil for fabrication up the cylinder
wall, while on the down stroke the
rounded lower corner of the ring
would pass over the oil thus distrib-
uted and leave 1t behind The inter
mediate rings should have both upper
and lower corners eased so as to dis
turb the oil as little as possible, al
lowing 1t to remain and perform Its
function as lubricant.

Replace Brake Innings
Is Not Difficult Task

To replace brake lining, the bands
or shoes are taken off, the axle is
placed in wise, while the rivets are
knocked off with a cold chisel or ham
mer. New strips of the lining fabric
are cut TO size. Beginning then at
enc end of the strip, two or three rivet
holes are located with a blue pencil
and cut with punch, after which the
fabric is put in position on the shoe
Medium hard rivets, to prevent scor-
ing Of the drums, are passed through
the holes and are then headed down
securely at the back OF the band.
They must be sunk well into the fab
rio lining, so that no projections are
left. With the strip held tightly to
prevent wrinkling, and with the band
at Its original curvature, the next hole
is marked, punched and riveted in the
same way.
The operator simply keeps on around
until the entire strip of lining is riv-
eted down into place on the shoe. The
braking systems OF our modern cars
are efficient enough under ordinary cir
cumstances, but they are not powerful
enough to allow a margin for slack
maintenance. They must be kept
right up to the mark, and systematic
inspections and repairs when needed
are dictated by common sense.

Many cases of tire trouble are due
simply to the fact that the tube has
not been properly inserted. The first
thing to do when putting in tube Is
TO give the bridge nut at the base of
the valve stem above the metal plate
tightening twist with pair of pliers.
When the tube is inside the casing, Jar
the tire few times to seat 1t firmly.
After the tire Is mounted and fully in
iated, fasten securely the rim nut,
which works around the valve stem
above the rim. Care In fitting the tube
will save many a pinch and fiat
later on.

Bent Rims Are Given as
Cause of Casing Trouble

Bent rims are direct cause of rim
cuts, of tires blowing from the rim
and of the breaking Of the tire cables
at the base of the tire. Oftentimes
motorists cannot understand why tires
should blow out when they are driving
slowly. The facts of the case are that
the overstralned carcass has reached
the limit of its endurance from pre-
vious abuse and has given way.
Many motorists were they to ex-
anime the wheels on their cars, would
be surprised to notice that their rims
are bent along the edges. These bent
rim fanges are ordinarily little thought
of, yet they are responsible for good.

When the wheel hits frog or
switch of street car track, or a hole
in the road, there is tendency to fiat

underinfiated. The rims support.
