Motoring Public Is Fast Becoming
Aware of Fact, Figures

Tubes are cheaper than tires and
the motorist who realizes this simple
truth can save himself Considera hle
money in the course Of his motoring
experience by keeping only good tubes
in his balloon tires.
According 10 one OF the large tire
manufacturers. this fact Is becoming
evident to automobile owners as their
experience with balloon tire equip
ment increases.
When balloon tires first were in.
PRODUCED not even the manufacturers
realized the Importance of accurate

Extensive tests. however. prove
cOnclusively that the balloon tire is
much more sensitive to Varia tons In
imitation than the old high pressure
tire was.
THE loss Of even 10 pounds pres
sure in the high. pressure tire did not
usually bring about serious harm to
the tire, but in the balloon type 4
drop Of even pounds may reduce
the life of the tire by several thou

so those who have had the most

CAR IMPROVEMENTS
WILL BE DISCUSSED
Society of Automotive Engineers
Looks Forward to Mystery
Session at Meeting.

Mystery surrounding one Of the SEES
eions of the annual meeting of the So
ciety of Automotive Engineers to be
held in Detroit January % to 2S Is
provoking keen interest among mem
bers of the society. Information as
to what Is to be presented for discus.
zion will be kept secret until the SEES
sion opens.
Among the more interesting known
addresses that are to be presented dur.
ing the 10 sessions of the four.day
meeting is one on a new type of trans.
mission for use in passenger cars.
This address is based on research
work that indicates a saving of 20 per
cent in gasoline consumption at Gus
tomary driving speeds by the use of
this transmission, which Is geared di.
rect to the engine shaft on fourth
speed. Shifting from third TO fourth
and vice versa, at speeds as high as
80 miles an hour and shifting with
out disengaging the clutch are
claimed to be easily possible
Growing interest in the designing
and production of small. light auto
mobiles makes particularly timely an
address on the English types of light
car, which Is to be given by a promi.
nent English automotive engineer.
Other subjects with which engi-
neers, car users and the general pub
lie are concerned are noisy and more
eff1ctent brakes, front wheel shimmy,
avoidance Of engine knock or detona
ton, more efficient and longer lived
engines, improved steering and quiet
er car operation. All of these and
many others will be dealt with in the
various technical sessions in about 80
addresses.

tor revolving"
Smith had removed the cover while
talked. which gave me an oppor.
tunity to point to the air gaps between
the Segments OF the cOmmutator.
Sometimes these air gaps get dirty,
and il you find them in that condition
scrape out the dirt with small piece
OF wood. Never use a metal tool for
this cleaning.
Also clean the brushes Of the horn
and see that they ride the commutator
comfortably. The better the contact
al these points the faster the horn will
pick up when you touch the button
and the better will be it's tone. pro
vided YOU have ii adjusted for a good
tone TO start with. At the factory
they adjust the horn for good warn
ing sound. but this assumes that the
owner will keep the horn clean and
oiled If the adjustment is not changed.
Lubricating Horn Easy.
There are only two places to oil
the horn motor. These are at each
end Of it's shaft. They are indicated
on some horns by small felt washers,
which serve also to hold enough oil to
provide a sort Of wick type of lubri.
cant feed"
Smith was just on the point OF
reaching for the oil can when | eau
toned him against using engine oil on
electric motor bearings. Only a fine.
light oil will do for these delicate
parts.
Clea ming and oling Smiths horn
improved the tone, but did not give
quite the note Of distinction he de
sired. The next step. then. was to
turn the adjusting screw in the rear
OF the motor. Turning to the right
raises the tone, while turning to the
left lowers it. On old.style horns the
adjustment is directly on the end of
the shaft. On Smiths modern type Of
horn the adjusting screw can be
turned with a dime.
The final caution was to refrain
from turning up the adjustment too
tight. The armature OF the motor al
ways should he free enough 80 that it
can he turned easily. MANY horns fail
to work because they are too tight.
