But what makes some starters
make so much noise and others SO
ished.
And how can a little motor like
this one crank a big engine?" junior
chimed in.
"One at time, please" begged.
''The starter motor is geared, by chain

or noisy depends partly upon type.
but mainly upon the number of reyo-
lutions the starter shaft has to make
before making one complete revoiu-
ton of the engine shaft. When start
ers are geared very low they usually
make a lot of noise, but when a few
turns of the starter motor gives the
engine quick crank the action IL

Then why don't they gear all the
starters high SO that engines can be
cranked quickly and quietly?" Smith
asked.

starter will operate on less current,
while to crank car with high

fully charged or you must use a 12-

in Offering a car they usually aim to

No. 97-The Starter Motor,

Smith has such knack Of getting
a lot of routine work done on the
car in SO short q time that he very
frequently finds a chance to tackle
some extra job. This time 1t hap
pened to be the starter motor.
He decided to examine its commu-
tator. Finding it was dirty, he clean.
ed it by polishing it with fine piece
of sandpaper while John Smith. jr.,
stepped on the starter switch. After
this he gave the bearing a few drops
of clean oil, cleaned the inside of the
cover band. inspected the brushes,
| and, finding them in good condition,
was soon ready to call the Job COM
plete.
But query from John Smith, jr.,
set him thinking,
"What makes the starter start the
engine, pop?" the offspring asked, as
suming, childlike. that motorist
should know something about the ma
chinery he operates.
What do you mean, what makes
the starter start the engineer" par.
ent Smith stammered. Cant you see
that it's simply an electric motor?
There's sprocket-like on your bicycle
at the end of the motor shaft, and
one here at the end of the engine
shaft. When we step on the starter
switch the current shoots into the
electric motor, turns it's shaft, pulls on
the starter chain and cranks the
motor. Isn't that simple enough?"
Yes, but why doesn't the chain
keep on running after the engine has
started?" the boy puzzled.
Hanged if know" Smith ad-
mitted. ''You tell him." he added,

1t was all quite true. and, incident.

Let's take things In order" 1 sug-

motor. The variation comes in the
way the motor drives the engine in
starting. One type of starter drive
is known as the Bendix, the other as
the overrunning chain. These two

what you will find on most cars.
THE Bendix is a gear drive, while
the other a chain drive. When you
push on the starter with the Bendix
type you not only start the electric
motor going but also place the small
starter gear in mesh with the teeth
of the flywheei. When the engine
starts. the small intermediate gear
which comes between the flywheel and
the gear at the end of the starter
shaft automatically disengages-that

ECONOMY SERVED
IN USING LACQUER
Substitute for varnish on
Automobiles Commended by
Baltimore Physician.

More than half the automobiles
made in the country are lacquere6
rather than varnished. according tc
DR.. d. b. Keyes of Baltimore, who
predicts that eventually lacquers will
replace entirely the old,time automo
lille varnish.
durability. ease of application and
economic advantage favor the use OF
lacquers. says DR.. Keyes in a paper
prepared for the American Chemical
Society. He cites figures compiled by
the Duco division of du Pont. based
upon results with medium-sized cars
AS to labor costs, the varnish time
per body was ST hours, while the lac
quer time was 81 hours; the varnish
cost per body was $2.S3 and the lac
quer cost, 1926. Saving in floor space
also Is shown. To varnish 800 cars
each day required an area of 101 ,000
square feet, while to lacquer the same
number of cars in the same time re-
quired $4,000 square feet. Twenty per
cent of the cars bearing varnish were
rejected, but only 2 per cent of the
lacquered cars were rejected.
Half of Cars Lacquered.
1T is now pretty we'll acknowledged
by every one in the varnish and lac.
quer business that lacquers will in
time crowd out the traditional auto
mobile varnish,' says DIR. Keyes. II
believe that at the present time more
than half the cars made in the United
States are lacquered.
THE repaint jobs are probably using
lacquer to a large extent, but this
proportion may not be so great as in
the new cars. The field for lacquers is
even bigger on furniture and in in.
terror decorating work than in auto.
mobiles.
1T will soon be quite possible to re,
place all of the good grades of var
nishes now used with more durable
lacquer. 1t Is also possible to get new
effects with lacquer that were not pos
sible with varnish.
Spray Gun Used.
Broadly speaking, the lacquer is
not a lacquer, but a cross between a
varnish and a lacquer, and all the
paint and varnish manufacturers of
today will be able to use their equip
ment, and their sales should increase
rather than diminish because of the
new product.
ut will be some time before the car
owner can apply lacquer to his own
car. for most laeQusrs must be applied
with a spray gun and not with a
brush, and equipment would be too
costly for him to purchase or even
rent. This does not mean that we will
not have a brush lacquer that can be
applied by the car owner, but see no

The size Of the poles used. includ-
ing their length and their diameter

The size Of the wire and the metal

Cedar poles, % or more feet long
and six inches in diameter at the
