NOISE MAY BE ECHOED.
Parts Built as Units Often Resound
Others Warnings.

Inasmuch as modern transmssions
are built as units with the power
plant and clutch it is important to
consider these as other parts of the
car if the transmission becomes an
moving. The latter may be acting as
sounding board for other noise
sources and the trouble may be some
distance from the gears.
Whipping universal joints develop
some queer noises and even may go
so far as to damage a transmission
bearing.

however. is that even II the eight
is not inherently as we'll balanced as
the six. it seems better balanced and
smoother to the man who drives the
car In other words, the added I'M.
pulses from the two extra cylinders
may be sufficient to offset the natural
disadvantages of the eight principle
and make it preferable to six com
parable in price.
Skies Better Climbers.
Few motorists know that with equal
car weights and gear ratios six will
climb q hill better than an eight. This
is because it has a greater torque
with less gear reduction. The Fights
perform better than the SKIES; as
general rule, but at a sacrifice OF en-
CINE speed.
The fact that Renault. Mercedes,
Rolls-Royce, Fiat, Minerva and other
famous foreign cars are powered by
skies is no reason why the six should
be considered superior to the eight.
Some fine foreign cars still are fours.
Nor is it fair to assume that the
Fights are superior because some
makers of skies have abandoned the
six in order to go over to them. There
have been several notable failures
among eight cylinder cars.
The fact that so many high-grade
domestic and foreign companies make
SKIES, however, serves to keep the
high-gr siX-cylinder engine in good
repute. IL it were not for this it is
very possible that the swagger at
tached to the Fights would carry them
to such popularity that there
wouldn't be room for any high grade
SKIES.
The popularity of Fights doubtless
Is increasing at a rapid rate. but it
works from the top downfall is, the
higher priced Fights become popular
before the lower priced ones. This is
because the public SHES at a cheap
eight quicker than a cheap six.
The public knows that a bad six is
much worse than a bad four and that
a bad eight is a white elephant.
1t frequently is argued that the
eight cylinder engine, particularly the
straight eight. is the one to supplant
all others, because it is the type used
in the most highly developed racing
cars in America. BY this same process
Of reasoning the most desirable car
for the public would have an engine
Of only 91l2 cubic inches displace-
ment, speed in second Of about so
miles an hour, a wheelbase like a
flivver and would have to carry a
supercharger to be at all modern.
The battle of the cylinders, there
fore, RACES away. Skies or Fights for
fine cars? That is the question.
