MANY DIAMONDS USED
IN MAKING OF FORDS
Stones Often Break in Pieces After
Little Use-S0me Last
Long Time.

No diamond owner could be persuad-
ed to press a large and valuable stone
against the whrling surface OF a
grinding wheel or drill holes in IT.
yet this takes place every day in De-
troit plants of the Ford Motor Co..
where more than 900 carats of these
precious jewels are used in the manu-
facture of motor cars.
The majority of the stones are used
either to dress grinding wheels or
are drilled TO permit hundreds Of miles
of wire to be drawn through them
daily. Even a diamond will not stand
up under long treatment of this sort
and steadily loses weight The big
gest stone ever used by the company.
weighing approximately 67.S2 carats.
lasted about two years, yet others be-
came Valueless after a few weeks use
or broke down Within an hour. One
diamond of the commercial variety
will bury itself in the toughest steel,
although a stone weighing several
carats broke into innumerable pieces
when dropped on concrete floor.
Diamonds come into use when grind.
ing wheels pick up enough steel TO
become glazed and grooved. The jew
els are forced against the running
wheel until the old surface has been
cut away. Development Of abrasives
Of greater hardness has relieved the
diamonds of the heaviest cutting work
and they now are used only in the
finer dressing operations. In the
drawing of copper wire from the size
OF lead pencil to the thickness of
hair, there is no substitute for the
diamond. through which holes are
drilled by using diamond dust driven
through by an oscillating needle.

Instances where the kissing of air
being drawn into the carburetor act
ually drowned out the humping of
loose main bearings.
4 wrist pin knock is a one syllable
word. sharp Vet light. 1t is most pro-
nounced when the engine is running
easily; in other words, when the PTS
tons and connecting rods are more
nearly free to float Under pres
sure or strain, the normally loose pis-
ton pin gets down to business and does
not cause much trouble. At high en-
CINE speed it scarcely can be detected
and Is never annoying.
One service manager says that in
silencing modern motors many noises
which have always been in engines
have come to the front to cause trou-
BILE and worry everybody concerned.
He has had complaints from owners
who hear and are annoyed by the ro-
tating of the distributor. Any loose
ness in the accessory shaft of the
engine can be heard in some of the
very quiet motors, while Speedometer
shafts often lead cautious drivers to
suspect that there is something wrong
with the bearings in the transmission.
Must Know Meaning.
Now that these old noises are hav-
Ing their inning, along with number
of new ones, it is important for the
driver to know what they mean.
Usually they mean very little, but if
he has no way of proving 1t, his mo-
toring is quite as unpleasant a matter
as it would be II a bearing burned out
every few days. Thus on a cold day
the man with a new car may be
alarmed to hear a certain Gathering
in his engine, but if he analyses the
affair carefully he will conclude that
he iS hearing a piston slap which is
in every engine during starting on
cold day. In understand what the
engine has to say he can save him
self the trouble and expense of taking
a new and almost perfect engine TO a
repair shop.
A noise that will trouble many driv-
erS within the next few months can be
traced to the tendency to use smoother
clutches with more powerful engines.
The driver himself also will play
role In this little drama of motordon.
Without any apparent warning the
driver will hear the car give very
peculiar deep-toned groan. and unless
he is aware that cars are talking
somewhat more elaborate language he
will be postponing his trip or his days
outing unnecessarily.
There is an unwritten rule in motor
dom that the smoother a clutch the
more likelihood there is for a driver
to slip it without being aware of what
he is doing. Take a 20 horsepower
engine and couple it with a light car
by means of a very sensitive clutch
and there is bound to be clutch plate
Slippage if the driver steps on the gas
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1926-01-31

when his foot is still on the clutch
as it slips, and the driver will be due
for clutch trouble in the near future If
he does not succeed in discovering
that he is actually causing the cutlery
from the car
Warnings Are Plain.
The remarkable and fortunate part
OF 1t Is that the car should give its
driver such plain warnings rather
than to tell him what Ounce he is to
provoke such conversation. A driver
will step on the gas too suddenly and
back will come the clicking from the
cylinders to tell him that such i'm
patience will not do. He either must
retard the spark or feed gas more
sparingly.
This is we'll illustrated in the case
of the starter. He steps on the starter
button and hears the heavy grind Of
the starter gears as they mesh with
the f1ywheel ring gear and churn over
the engine. If there is just a light
hum from the starter when ne steps
on the button he is politely informed
that the gears have not meshed and
that he is wasting his time as we'll as
the battery's energy.
Some of the newer noises, however,
are not SO obviously helpful. A case
In point is the cracking noise pro-
duced by the expansion of the long
exhaust pipes now used on most cars.
On very cold day such expansion
will puzzle the driver, and If he is not
careful he will be taking his car to a
repair shop to have them look for a
broken spring leaf. 1t Is that kind OF
noise. The motorist who Is posted on
the modern automobiles enlarged vo-
cabulary will take the cracking noise
as warming to put more alcohol into
the cooling system and adjust his car
buretor for little richer mixture.
The noise means bitter cold, but sit.

blowing up warm blasts he may not
understand what the car is trying to
say.
Hood Noises Annoy.

to hold hoods down with very power

road the body of any automobile is
subject to a number of twisting forces.
Unless the hood is held down tightly
1t Will set up some very annoying
noises. Every now and again, how
ever some careless garageman will
fail to clamp the hood down properly.
A little while later one of the clamps
will snap into place with a startling
thud. When this happened to one
driver he thought he had cracked the
frame of the car. 1t was a rather ma
tural conclusion to draw, because the
clamp snapped into place just as the
car hit bad hole in the road.
Changing conditions in driving play
their role in either creating new car
noises or in bringing old ones to the
fore. Take a windshield that has a
habit of rubbing against its rubber
strip with a sidewise motion, then add
the sort of wind pressure that goes
with 40 miles an hour and the wind.

Noises Can ReaSsure.
In a number of instances owners
are running to their favorite repair
shops, alarmed by noises which are. in
reality, assure nee that everything Is
running smoothly. Then there are in
stances of the reverse, where the car
Is asking help, only TO be treated as
though ii We're announcing ais we'll.
Over rough roads one of the new
and popular devices to control the
recoil of the springs has a habit of
making Il booming sound. \ device TO
1uhriCate valves 10y admitting a little
oil-laden air through the intake mani
told gurgIes when the engine is idling.
Certain treadS on balloon tires throw
pebbles rather freely and play tunes
on the tenders. Many Of the new
models drone at the exhaust.
Thus speaketh the modern autoIno-
bile to the modern driver. Every few
weeks a new word is added to the
cars list of significant sounds. Many
OF the older noises used for communi-
cation between car and driver have
passed into disuSe, but progressive
drivers are finding that unless a new
noise is properly interpreted there
viii be two puZzling noises, as against
one on the morrow.
This is very clearly illustrated in
the case OF four-wheel brakes. Here
the car has four brake drums to re-
sound instead of two. And since the
sounds from the front drums are
heard more readily by the driver than
those from the rear, the man at the
wheel is apt to become unduly alarm
ed when Il stone is tipped by tire and
hurled against the front brakes. Tn
less he is able to interpret such noise
he is certain to be alarmed when q
little sand or a small stone lodges be-
tween the drum and band of a front
brake.
Quietness Alarms Now.
The new engines are so quiet in
their operation that the averag e
driver is alarmed the moment his
engine so much as utterS a single
word Being accustomed to a talka-
tive engine and now given to under
stand that the newer engine is not in
Clined toward conversation, he is ready
10 suspect the worst whenever the en-
CINE does speak its mind. Sometimes
the engine is saying what all of its
forebearS have said before it; the only
difference being that its forebearS had
so much else to say at the same time
the noises that now attract attention
were lost in the din.
This explains why drivers now
worry over the sound of a worn piS-
ton pin. These noises always have
been in the average engine after it had
been driven about $4,000 miles, but
noisy valve tappetS kept them in the
background. Humming timing gears

cants in the transmission help to pro
duce odd and unnecessary gear noises
Engineers have found that the quality
and the amount OF lubricant In a gear
case plays a role in determining the
tone of the gears, but the average
driver still has to discover that his
automobile knows all about 1t and is
trying to broadcast the news.
The more a car talks, however, the
quicker the driver will come to know
what it means. Perhaps it's new habit

PARKING CORRECTLY.
Experienced Driver Uses Engine to
Save Steering Assembly.

Turning the wheels straight ahead
or in toward the curb when parking
or when starting away from the curb
can always be simplified by allowing
the engine to move the car slightly
forward or backward while steering.
A lot of unnecessary wear Is infiict-
ed on the steering assembly by trying
to manipulate the front wheels while
the car Is not in motion.
