How to Help Lubrication.

How can the automobile driver as
sist in the fabrication of his engine
when the process appears to be en-
tirely automatic?
The question is easily answered
when one has made a mental picture
OF what goes on inside an automobile
engine when 1t is climbing a hill
While the engine is pulling hard, pres
sure on the main and connecting rod
bearings. the piston pins and the
cylinder walls is at high peak Any
oil that is in its logical place between
the bearing surfaces tends to be
squeezed out. If 1t is not squeezed
out it is burned out. Fresh oil, Of
course, is on the way to be forced in,
but with the pressure between the
bearing surfaces so high the fresh oil
finds entrance extremely difficult.
Suppose that while the driver is
forcing the car up hill he takes his
foot off the accelerator for an instant.
even though he steps on the gas with
additional vigor Immediately after.
What happens? Pressure, for one
thing, is reduced TO point where the
fresh oil works in between the bearing
surfaces with greater ease. ANY OF

There are in the automobile busi.
ness, however, more merchandising
schemes of time-honored nature than
one would imagine. 1t is just the au.
tomotive flavor that seems to make a
difference, merchandising experts
poiTt out When a dealer advertises
an attractive price on several cars
which have been used as demon
strators, the motorist is simply wit
Messing ''shopworn stock" sale.
The well known mill end" sale is
represented in motordom by the sale
of models which have just been
eclipsed by new models for the current
year.
Apparently the automobile business
has few tricks of it's own to add for
good measure. When the department
store is overstocked 1t just marks down
the goods and advertises a sale, but
the automobile producer is more mod
ern. He marks down the stock, but
explains that he is just passing along
to the consumer the advantages of in
creased production and business.
Happily, the car manufacturer is
never going out of business" Maybe
his more modern sales methods have
something to do with it.

Progress by Reversal.

Nowadays when the automobile is
to be improved it's designers appear
to look over the situation in an ef-
fort to find some custom to abandon
and some time-honored idea to turn
inside out. The question naturally
arises why motordom continues to
adhere to certain customs when
complete reversal might work some
magic change.
Balloon tires are simply a reversal
of the idea of high pressure for tires.
A few years ago You were throwing
good tire money away when you rode
around with your tires underint1ated.
Now you run on 20 to 35 pounds of
air, and motoring is so vastly i'm
proved that you can hardly believe 1t.
Only a few years ago the engine
that pumped oil past the rings into
the cylinders was regarded as d me-
chanicaI abortion. No one wanted a
motor that got oil past the rings, not
even the used car dealer. Now there
are two nationality distributed de-
vices intended to supply small
quantity of oil directly to the cylin-
ders and valves, while another con-
Germ has actually developed a method
of forcing oil under pressure direct
ly to the top rings of the cylinders.
Every progressive automotive engi-
neer now admits that one cause of
premature engine wear has been the
mania for keeping oil from the upper
cylinder walls.
The intake manifolds offer another
striking example of the trend toward
reversing the fundamentals in car
construction. Manifolds formerly
were considered perfect if they were
smooth and graceful so that the
gases could flow to the cylinders
undisturbed. Now the manfolds on
number of cars are designed so
that the gases are rather rudely
driven up against square ends.
1t makes one speculate to to what
the next big reversal will be. 1t
would not be surprising, many be
lieve, to see the newer engines actu-
ally turned upside down as they are
now found in aviation.

PLAN TOCLEAN OIL
WHILE BEING USED
Motors fabricated With
Mud, Says Engineer, Plan
ming New Method.

Within the next few years means
of cleaning engine oil as it is being
used will be generally adopted, accord
ing to Harry l.. Horning, president of
the Society of Automotive Engineers,
who says we have been trying to lu-
bricate our engines with mud.
Analysis of the oil from the cylinder
walls. Mr.. Horning says, shows 1t to
be diluted by the products of combuS-
ton and partial combustion, wearinGs
from the cylinder walls, carbon and
gasoline or kerosene. 1t is this dirty
mixture that is used for lubricating
the top piston ring.
Knocking May be Stopped.
I'VE shall see wide adoption in the
next year or two of means for clean
ing engine oil as it is being used, said
Mr.. Horning. I'VE have found that
by direct fabrication of the cylinder
with clean oil we could cool the pistons
to such an extent that a badly knock
ing engine ceased to knock. When
some means of putting clean oil on the
bearing surfaces is adopted generally
it will not be uncommon for an engine
to go 125. 900, $50 900 or 175, 900 miles
without having a bearing adjusted.
"Other engineers are dealing with
the dilution problem by more thorough
VaporiZatiOn OF the fuel mixture, ana
the hot-Spot manifold or some modified
type of il is now almost universal. In
one of the most significant designs the
engineers have tried to give a very
hot mixture at low engine loads and
a much cooler mixture at full load,
and the system has been found to give
remarkable aCceleration on the road.
Designs Improved.
Great improvement has been made
in the design of engines so far as re-
lates TO combustion. Engineers have
attacked the problem through the car
bureter, the manifold, the location of
the spark plugs and by other means.
A consistent. serious effort has been
made by designers to make the en-
gine more efficient. l think you will
see air cleaners widely adopted in the
next year A thoroughly good air
cleaner can increase the life of an en-
gine enormously.
Engineers are paying considerable
attention to methods of attaching the
engine TO the chassis so that the chas-
sis would not take up the vibrations
of the engine The Societys research
department is concluding an investi-
cation of vibration at the Bureau of
Standards. 1t is surprising to learn
that a vertical vibration of IL ,00Oth
of an inch and lateral vibration of
1.500th of an inch can be very disa-
greeable if repeated often enough"

Sale Day on Auto Row.

Unless the automobile business can
remain forever in a class by itself the
time may come when it will have to
adopt some of the time-honored meth
DDS of moving stock, as do other bust
nesses. In other words, the motorist
can look forward to day when there
will be bargains in automobiles. and
perhaps sales" just as in any other
line.
1t will be a great day. indeed, when
some quantity producer offers dol
lar Sale--when by paying an extra
dollar the buyer can have two cars in
stead of one.
If the used car problem again be
comes acute, it has been suggested
that manufacturers take over the low.
priced stock of their dealers and try
the methods of the safety razor com.
panies That is, give the cars away
and make up the loss through supply
ing parts to keep the cars in opera

Hints Worth Remembering.

If the engine does not click, or knock
lightly, when climbing steep hill with
the spark fully advanced, the timing is
not correct. Timing should be so reg
ulated that the spark will be a little
too far advanced for a hard pull neces-
stating setting the spark control lever
back a little under such conditions
This applies. however, only to hand
controlled or to semi-automatic ad-
vanced spark. not to pure automatic.
If the engine knocks with the latter
type of ignition control the engine is
either being overworked or is loaded
down with carbon.
Should the ammeter burn out or re-
fuse to function, thus shutting off the
supply of current TO the ignition and
the lighting circuits, remove the in
strument from the dash and connect

Nothing to Worry About.

Many drivers of the newer cars
seem to be alarmed by the high
charging rate as shown by the am
meter on the instrument board, judg
ing from the number of times service
stations are called upon for advice on
this point. The truth of the matter is
that generators are being set for
higher charging rate. Due to the use
of tighter fitting pistons, higher COM
preston and the growing use of eight
cylinder. engines batteries are called
upon to do considerably more work
in the starting process Also many
cars are equipped with a greater num-
Der of lights, the stop light signals
being a sample of the additional drains
that are being made on batteries. The
danger of overcharging the battery by
reason of high charging rate is re.
mote except for long periods of day
time driving, when it Is assumed that
the driver will burn the headlights and
see that the cells of the battery re-
ceive their share of distilled water.

For Sake of Safety,

Move your head frequently when
driving in close traffic so as to avoid
the blind spots presented by the posts
OF the body and to see things from a
fresh angle
Make no sudden changes of direc-
ton nor of speed. 1t is also just as
dangerous to accelerate quickly as to
stop too quickly. With smooth tires
and wet streets car can be made to
skid by too sudden acceleration
Just few inches in close traffic may
mean trouble
Wear some kind of glasses when
driving. They are insurance against
the consequences of losing control of
the car should something fly into your
eye.
Always leave the car parked head
first in the private garage. When
you start up in the morning the ex-
haust pipe is nearer the door, where
there will be less possibility. of danger
from poison fumes when the engine
starts.
Keep away from crossings and
street corners when fire apparatus
has the right of way. Most of the
apparatus upsets occur at intersec-
tions and turns. You can also do the
fire fighters a good turn by giving
them all the room they need at such

Keep These in Mind.

Do not touch the tappet adjust
ments before starting to grind in the
valves. Remember that as the valves
are reseated they take up tappet clear
ance. Any engine usually has too
much clearance prior to a valve job,
so you may save yourself some work
by taking 1t easy.
If the emergency brake does not
hold and the engine stalls on hill
you can recrank the engine with your
right foot and hold your left foot on
the brake pedal

a short piece of insulated wire from
one of the ammeter posts to the other.
Be careful not to allow the posts of
the ammeter or the bare wires to come
in contact with the metal parts of the
car, or there will be a short-circuit and
the insulation on the wiring will catch
fire. In an emergency the wire will
be sufficiently stiff to hold the am
meter away from the dash. Do not
remove or put back an ammeter until
you have first removed the positive
battery wire as precaution against
short -circuiting the current and start
ing a fire

Look for Exposed Wire.

At night, if you observe the ignf.
ton wires while the engine is in opera
ton you are likely to see faint sparks
at points where you would not expect
to find them. If the conduit that holds
the ignition wires, the low tension and
the high tension wires, happens to
come close to the exhaust manifold or
to some other metal part of the engine
a spark may jump the gap. This
may be nothing more than an Undue
ton and not interfere with the opera
ton of the engine. If there Is a pro

better start looking for an exposed

BRITISH TRADERS COLD
TO EXPORTS AID PLAN
Department Of Government Has
Money to Lend, But Finds Few
Ready to Borrow It.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
LONDON, January 28.-Several mil
lions OF pounds sterling are waiting
at the department of overseas trade
for British traders to borrow, but
they do not como forward. The de-
partment has authority, under the
export credits scheme initiated three
years ago, to finance traders in the
export of goods for any sum from
$50 upward. and although several
millions have been lent for that pur-
pose there are many moro millions
available.
British trade is believed to be on
the upgrade, and the department is
at a loss to know why exporters do
not take advantage Of the facilities.
Practically. they are asking people
to borrow money and participate in
the scheme. which for a small pre-
MUM guarantees payment Of bills
drawn by exporters against export of
British goods, and under certain con-
ditions participates In any loss.
