SPEEDING n { v
CAR NOT YET
ADVISABLE
Some Drivers Know How to
Run Machine Fast Without
Harm, But Most Do Not
By J. LEO SUGRUE

Should the time-honored rule
against fast driving Of the new
car be observed religiously or is
the new car sufficiently improved
to warrant 5crapping the long OBJ
served custom?
Motorists are wondering. The
majority of cars are coming
through with warnings against
fast driving posted on the wind
shield, but one large producer Of
cars has "aised the breaking,in
speed limit from Is to 40 miles
an hour.
II one make of car can be
driven 40 miles an hour during
its first 500 miles of existence
without damage, why cannot the
same be done with any car Of
the same price class with a COM
parable engine?
Is there any advantage in hav-
ing an engine capable Of high
speed upon delivery, aside from
the convenience of not being
obliged to drive slowly? Would
any engine be improved by run
ming slowly Turing the breaking
in process, even if 1t could be
driven fast without scoring the
cylinders through freezing Of the
piStOnS.
Many Interested
These questions are engaging
the attention of thinking
motorists, and automobile sales
men are reporting an increasing
number of inquiries touching on
this subject. Fortunately, there
are some handy guide posts.
In considering car speed, one
is concerned largely with engine
speed. Not all engines are run
ming at the same speed when
their cars are travelling 40 miles
an hour. This is because of the
difference in gearing between
various makes, and even models.
Of cars.
To assume that an engine is
travelling unusually fast just be-
cause the car is skimming over
the road at 40 miles an hour may
be entirely wrong. Some engines
are running quite fast at the
comparatively low car speed of
IS miles per hour.
On the theory that something
may 60 wrong, the wise motorist
Is careful about breaking in the
new car. However. he is not so
foolish as to carry it to extremes

who would not think of exceed
ing 20 or Is miles an hour with
a new car it is a certainty that
he will have trouble. He will
not be consistent. You will find
him driving too fast in second
or perhaps stepping on the gas
at the end of the 500 mile period
without taking the precaution
of changing the diluted oil in
the crankcase.
First 1000 Hardest
Some of the finer engines will
stand a slight squirt of speed ever
so often during The first 500 miles.
This raises the pressure of the oil
and results in more thorough lu-
brication. Just as vacuum tank
sometimes goes dry when the en-
gine has been running too slowly,
so will the oiling system fail to
do it's best work if the engine ro-
tateS too long at too slow speed.
There are some drivers who can
handle a brand-new car so as to
average a good rate of speed over
the highways without straining
the engine. They take advantage
of downgrades to let the car roll
and know enough to release the
engine if it shows the slightest
disposition to overhead. Such
drivers are few and far between.
The first 1000 miles still are
the hardest. That's why so many
motorists get a second thrill out
Of reaching the second thousand.
