ever, by changing the gear ratio on the

The electric generator is mounted
directly to the hywheel housing Of the
gas engine, the generator armature re.
volving ct exactly the same speed that
the engine turns over. A few inches
back on the generator, or approximately
under the front seat, is the electric
motor, connected by cable to the gen.
orator and coupled by q short drive
shaft to the rear axle. As the generator
Is speeded UP, more electricity is fed
to the motor, and as the motor picks
UP so does the speed Of the car. =

from . standstir.' than Is necessary to
keep 1t IN motion after IL has been
started. 1t Is also desirable TO start
on ut q comparatively low speed. The
engine will not deliver sufacient power
TO start the car unless it is revolving
at the rate Of several hundred revolu-
tons a minute. Therefore, when start
ing the car the lever is placed in the
first speed position. This brings into
mesh gears of such sizes that the en-
CINE will make approximately four
revolutions to one Of the driving shaft.
As soon as the car is in motion the
lever Is moved to the second speed
position. This action withdrawS the
first speed gears from mesh and brings
into play gears which give a ratio Of
two revolutions of the engine to one Of
the drive shaft. AS the car speed Is
increased the lever is shifted to high
In this position there are no gears in
mesh and the drive shaft turns one
revolution for each revolution of the
engine. The high gear can then be
used for all ear speeds, ranging from
the maximum of which the car Is ca
pable down to five or 10 miles an
hour, unless heavy going Is eneoun-
tered, when we must transform the
engine power from speed to pulling
force by shifting to the lower gears,
which provide the greater leverage.
Care must be used when shifting
gears to relieve the strain from them
by releasing the clutch. otherwise the
edges of the teeth may be torn of as
they slide out of or into mesh. It is
also necessary to learn at what car
speeds the shifts can be made without
causing a grinding, due to unequal
speeds OF the gears being brought into
mesh. When these points are mastered
so that their observance becomes auto
matte. the only attention the trans
mission will require will be In the
matter of fabrication.
The TRANSMISSION case should be
filled up to a certain level with q heavy
oil unless, otherwise specified by the
manufacturer The proper level Is gen.
orally determined by the opening in
the side OF the ease through which the
lubricant is injected.
