Making Carbon Useful

Some day the carbon that now
cholzes automobile engines and wor-
files car owners will be put to good use
and without transferring it from
where 1t collects in the engines cyl
tnders. As matter of fact sleeve
valve engines already thrive on car
bon and have been doing so for
number of years.
Few motorists appreciate that car
bon, when given the benefit of the
right kind of fuel, is power. The ten
dency is to think of it as quite the
opposite, for is 1t not carbon that
makes the motor knock on hills? Or
is it the wrong kind of fuel which
most motorists use? There is an
awakening in favor of an affirmative
answer to the latter.
Carbon takes up space in a cylinder.
thereby raising compression. Compress
sion is power and since carbon in
creases 1t, carbon, too, is power. But
to operate at higher compression
without knocking, an engine must be
treated to a diet of knockless fuel.
The whole oil industry is swinging
into the manufacture of non-detonat
ing fuels for motor cars and it is
likely that within a comparatively
short time few motorists will think of
carbon as anything to worry about.
In sleeve valve motors, where car
bon accumulation is delayed through
polished cylinder heads, lower COM
preston rate and where carbon is
prevented from pre-igniting incoming
gases by being kept soft, use of the
non-detonating fuels may result in a
combination that may actually well
come carbon. Ashes, SCOT, lampblack
and coal tar all have been found to
have numerous uses. Carbon may be
next!

The Old Mechanic Says:

There's somethin' to be learned
from keepin' your ears open around
this shop, particularly If you want to
avoid bein' made to feel foolish when
things go wrong with the car in traffic.
Sometimes drivers tell ME clever
stunts they do; other times they con-
fess bein' all bawled up and 1 tell EN-
what to do if ever they are caught In
such predicaments again The BY
stander benefits too.
Here are some of the ideas he might
gather from my conversation with
folks who are or have been out or
luck:
If the engine stalls in traffic and the
car is rollin little don't pull on the
emergency brake while tryin' to crank
the engine. The engine may not start
and the cars momentum may be useful
in coasting over to a par1in space.
If the brakes fail, run in low gear
slowly switchin off the engine when
dead stop is necessary.
A clutch that stays engaged calls for
! switchin' off of the engine for every
stop and usin' the self-starter to start
both engine and car each time the
traffic signal says go" Keep in low
gear.
II tire goes fat on q one-way
street where parkln' spaces are at q
premium it may pay to draw up to
the curb on the no-parkin side and
wait until there is a space opposite.
If the horn button becomes stuck
or the wires crossed so the horn blows
continuously, stop, raise the hood and
pull one of the wires from the horn.
That will stop it until there is time to
look for the trouble
If the horn fails race the angina n
warn the pedestrian or switch on the
headlights so that his attention is at
tractcd by the flash. Stay behind other
cars and let their drivers do the
hornin.
Yes, there are many ways to skin a
cat and they're as free as air around
any repair shop because that's where
motorists air their troubles and learn
how to avoid others.

Old Models for New

Automobile body designers are look
ing for new thoughts, new ideas, new
conceptions. They have gone so far
as to borrow lines from boats. Waist
lines are the latest. Concave effects
are making their appearance. The race
is on.
But an old timer has a suggestion to
make. Why not go back to some of
the lines on models now obsolete? He
thinks it would be a good idea to face
the fact that the discarded models of
many makes were better looking than
their present editions. A little memory
tour may show that he is about right.
