COOLING BY STEAM
/ P[AN|SEXP[A|NED
Engineer Details Method of
Keeping Temperature Con-
s Stant at All Times.

The motorist who now has to stor
his car after a long uphill grind to
10 allow the engine TO cool and who
in Winter is forced to protect the radi
ator from tho possibility of freezing
soon will have these problems solved
for him, experts declare.
This will be accomplished by con
Stant temperature, or steam cooling
as explained and demonstrated in an
address at the annual meeting OF the
Society Of Automotive Engineers by
a. G.. Herreshoff of the Rushmore
Laboratory.
Tests 70 determine the effect of
different water-jacket temperatures on
engine power, fuel consumption and
CranllcaSe oil dilution indicate that a
temperature of Gle degrees or slightly
more is desirable he said.
THE simplest natural means of ac-
complishirg the purpose is by the use
or boiling water, whose temperature
remains constant at 212 degrees. The
advantages of maintaing this jacket
water temperature under all Condi-
tions are that piston friction is re-
duced. there is better raporiZation of
the fuel, the dilution of oil III the
Crankcase by fuel and water is pre-
vented or reduced and ruSting of the
Cyclinder walls is prevented. The in.
crease in engine efficiency resulting
from an increase in cylinder wall tenn
perature from 122 degrees with water
cooling to 2l2 degrees with vapor or
steam cooling should be 13 per cent
for quarter engine load at low speed
and 26 per cent at high speed, with
resultant saving of Is to 20 per cent
In fuel consumption
When steam cooling system is
nSed, said Mr.. Herreshoff, ii becomes
e. simple matter to heat the interior
of the closed car body by passing the
steam through a radiator in the body.
Pressure of steam in the system also
makes it possible to maintain uni.
Sorm temperature of the lubricating
oil by conducting part of the con-
uensed water through an oilpan
Jacket, thereby reducing the viscosity
of the oil In cold weather. while the
greater heat of the oil drives off any
water and light fuel by which it is
diluted. thus reducing friction and in
creasinG the life of the engine

No. 142-Something About
Springs.

"These spring covers are no Eood,
Smith complained when | met him the
other DAY. II installed them with the
idea that they would keep the springs
floating In grease, but the car sHems
to ride worse every day"
\ "Fhat are you going TO do now"
] asked. noticing that be had tiled
the grease gun with oil.
I'm going to give each one OF the
springs another shot of OIL" he
answered. "I've tried it several times
already, but maybe this one will do
the trick"
I realized it would come as a shock
to him to learn that he was making
the car ride hard by overoiling the
springs, SO / approached the subject
gently.
Maybe there's something wrong
with the spring action" l suggested.
eff the spring leaves are not working
properly of course you can't expect
TO get a good ride. And, by the way,
do you know how a. spring works.?
He at first seemed offended by this
query, but finally decided the question
was well meant. After thinking it
over for few minutes he announced
that it was the bending of the spring
leaves that absorbed the road shocks.
IF that's the case, then why bother
10 grease the leaves?" / asked. The

grease shouldn't play any part In the
bending of the spring leaves"
But there would be too much fric-
ton between the leaves If you didn't
grease them." he argued.
Keeping Friction Constant.
"Oh, I seet / replied. Now we
have another element besides the f1ex.
ing of the metal leaves. We've got fric.
ton, too. Evidently some OF the road
shock is absorbed by the rubbing of
one spring leaf against another. And
that's getting pretty close to lubrica.
ton. I'm just wondering whether 1t
isn't possible to overoil spring leaves
to a point where friction doesn't play
its proper role"
Smith stopped operating the oil gun.
THAT sounds reasonable he

however, simply aggravates the
trouble. What the brakes need Is
a little roughing up. If they are

these devices may make matters
worse"
Smith concluded that springs were
not as "easy" as he imagined. Here
was something about them he never be-
fore had considered. and once more he
was willing to admit that q little
trouble is often q blessing in disguise
for the progressive car owner.

agreed. "lf tho leaves slide against
each other too easily the effect should
be- the same as II the spring were
made of just one, big flexible leaf"
1t was q little more complicated
than that. but he was ready for the
facts, so told him that the purpose
Of his spring covers was to keep the

unison and act very much like one
thick spring leaf. Another fault of
overlubrication is that when the first
few leaves defect too quickly. the
whole spring suddenly flattens out and
bottoms" Thus, the car receives
jolt on every road inequality.

abandoning his effort to keep the fric.

Rust rapidly accumulates at such

If spring is designed to defect

a 80 per cent increase in the frictional
element means that the spring will not
be a spring at all until a force Of 130
pounds is applied. Thus, all the

NAVY QUINT EASILY
CONQUERS FORDHAM

ANNAPOLIS, Md, February 90
Displaying an alright defense and a
fast working, smooth attack. the
quint Of the Naval Academy decis-
lively defeated the team of Fordham
University, Al to 1a, today.
The size Of the score was a surprise
and source of qualification to the
many Navy followers, as the Army
was only able to defeat the same
team by l point a few weeks ago.
The Fordham second team took the
floor at the start of the game and
after seven minutes had elapsed the
score was 7 to l in the Navy's favor.
At this time the entire first team OF
Fordham trotted out on the floor. but
was unable to stem the tide, the half
ending 20 to s.
While the Fordham quint was try
ing desperately to score during this
half the Navy defense under it's goal
was working so well that most of the
points. were made on shoots we'll out
from the basket. During this period
practically every member of the Navy
team registered. while O'Neil and
White were the only members Of the
Fordham quint who. could count from
the field.
The second half was similar to the
first, Navy boosting the score up to
81 to IL by the middle Of the period
At this point O'Neill and Delaney
staged Fordham rally, which was
cut short.

Chewing gum and cosmetics. not

Genther OF New York. who has made
q special study of faces in his pro-

emphasizing the spirit rather than the
feature.
This artist declares that the chew
ing-gum habit is very disastrous to
the facial expression, especially when
contracted by young children who be-
gin it while their little bones still
are pliable.
This habit causes the muscles Of
the face to become unduly enlarged, "
he says. and If the lady is one of
the open shop adherents who chews
with her mouth ajar, she can be sure
that her lips Will acquire an ugly
line.
Another reason why so many mod,

their owners cover them with a set
