Mention Of clever engineering fes
lures III the automotive line recalls
statement made by Charles L. Ket-
tering, chief of the General Motors
Research Corporation. before a recent
convention. Mr.. kettering said thar
only when he designs his part of the
, car SO it win not be apparent to the
user of the car.
In other words, some Of the most
clever and successful features on cars
ar" those that pass unnoticed Accord
ing to this new definition OF good au
tmnotlve engineering, any design that
continually forces itself upon the
drivers attention is not good one
Good engineering ideas and designs
must work while the automobile driver
iorgets.
MotordoIn IS inclined to praise those
stunts that attract attention even
/ though they do not always work or
require constant servicing, meanwhile
| forgetting the clever little stunts that
work so we'll no one gives them q
thought. Some Of the finest engineer
ing Is to he found in the transmission,
where gears go about their business in
such Il way that the driver does not
know, nor care. what is happening
In engine pressure lubricating Sys.
TENS there is also evidence Of much
fine work.
Any engineer can work out j com
plicated arrangement for q novel OPP
Grafton OF the valves. but it takes real
genius to perfect an arrangement that
will operate SO faithfully as TO make
the driver forget there are valves on
the car. The same theory applies
from the steering gear TO the rear
axle. Mr.. Kettering, it seems, has
said q good word for the engineers
who do the really big things for the
American automobile.

THE OLD MECHANIC SAYS:

/ believe firmly in the idea that 1t
doesn't pay to knock down a good
piece of machinery unless there is
somethin' vitality wrong. I'm a great
one for prevention. but / can't see
any use i'll havin' my appendix out on
the theory that II may give me trou-
bic some day
Nevertheless, I'm just as firmly
against the idea of postponin' a trip
to the repair shop until there are "a lot
of things to be done. The car owner
who follows that sort of policy is sure
10 get into lot of unexpected trouble.
l. Troubles breed troubles. If thar IS
somethin' wrong with the radiator, the
first thing you know there's somethin'
wrong with the engine
1t pays to remedy trouble right
away, and all by it's lonesome. There's
no economy in waitin' until the repair
man has a long list of jobs, because
he'll find a lot of things to do that
wouldn't have been necessary at all
had each Job been attended to at its
proper time.
IL the radiator overheats, sthe thing
to do is to have II remedied immedi-
ately. Here's what happens if that
job is postponed too long:

Free Movement Lacking

Nine-tenthS of the brake Jobs that
come to the service station are found
to have no free movement at the eX-
ternal rear anchor support of the
brake. This must be eased up TO per-
nit the lining to make contact with
the drum at the rear so that it will
act as a damper to vibrations caused
by hard particles at the forward area
of high pressure. All foreign matter
should be removed from between the
drum and lining and if the drum is
scored it should be smoothed with
fine emery cloth. If the band is not
perfectly circular and concentric
with the drum. it should be hammer
ed into conformity with the drum.
The perfection of the rounding of
the band can be tested by applying
the brake and trying to insert a thin
feeler gauge between the lining and
drum to find place where the lining
fails TO grip the gauge.

Auto Horn Tunes
Should Vary for
Safety Purposes

There Is a trick in horning with
safety at intersections and when
rounding curves on the open roads.
The custom is to horn vigorously,
either with one long toot Or in install
mentS. This is dangerous because If
the driver of an approaching car hap
pens to do the same the Mornings will
be neutralized. Each driver Will think
he is hearing only his own horn. A
way to avoid this possibility is to
give a short but pronounced foot and
then listen q second before footing
