Automotive Hints
BY FREDERICK C. RUSSELL


My warning in these columns that
the automobile mufer is rapidly
becoming an extra expense In car
operation is now confirmed by news
that replacement of mufflers ranks
18th in dollar volume. Figures were
compiled from actual sales of 100
lobbers. Muff1ers are now ahead Of
ignition parts, gears, fan belts and
radiator hose and clutches.
1t isn't entirely a matter Of the
cheaper, thinner materials. Sery-
ice men have been educated to look
for defective and leaky mufflers,
with the result that fewer owners
are running the risk of monoxide
leakage. High compression engines
have led to more condensation and
thus more of tendency toward
rotting.
The muff1er still is an engineering
problem. We can expect much bet
ter muft1ers in the near future. Ore
that has been designed for use on
transcontinental buses is made Of
nickel -chromium-iron alloy. It is
capable Of withstanding tempera-
lures upward Of 1900 degrees.
Solving Them BY Degrees.
BY degrees We are learning some
interesting facts about those prob
lens which have been puzzling us
these many years. One of the latest
to come to my attention is the dis
covery that much stalling during
idling in winter when using highly
volatile gas, or in hot weather with
any gas, is the result of fuel vapor-
lzlng in the carburetor float cham
ber. This creates pressure which,
in turn, forces fuel into the car
buretor both through the jets and
thus up to the intake. Such excess
sively rich vapor won't fire, so the
driver has to continue cranking un-
til the cylinders clear themselves
and suck in some diluting air.
The problem can be solved in
some cases by installing a special
cover for the carburetor float. Such
cover yields little, thus compen-
sating for the expanded gas and
checking the tendency for pressure
to force fuel back into the carbure-
tor body.
Another problem-frosting Of the
windshield-is said to be licked by
putting strip of cellophane over
the glass. 1t is glued to the glass
with transparent cement. Visi-
bility is said to be very good, all
things considered To remove the
protective strip all the driver does
is loosen a corner and skim of with
razor blade 1t is entirely posi-
BILE that this will lead to a new kind
of windshield glass that will not
frost over.
Mechanic Joe Speaking:
There are so many reasons why
any engine could become a hog on
gasoline I'm probably not surprising
you if I suggest another reason,
but here it goes:
you've heard of the economizer
on the carburetor? Well, If this
has punctured diaphragm there
is a good chance that fuel con-
sumption will increase. The way
to make sure about this is to re-
move the cover. If the inside is wet
with gasoline the diaphragm Is de-
fective."

By G.. Adams Howard.

The present-day speedometers
used In automobiles to denote the
number Of miles an hour the vehicle
Is travelling may give way to a vastly
changed model In which only danger
units will be depicted, If a safety
suggestion of the Travellers 1nsur-
ance Co. Is adopted by the manu-
facturers.
This radical change is not at all
an impossibility and may be brought
out in at least q few models of
cars in the next two or three years.
Each danger unit, the insurance
company states in a pamphlet re-
Gently published entitled, Lest We
Regret" equals any one Of six diff
ferent things. They include energy
at Is miles per hour, human shock
limit, one street width actual stop
ping distance, one roll-over in an
accident, one fall of a two-story
house, or an 80-foot turning radius
on possible curve.
Thus the large numbers on the
suggested speedometer would have
10 large figures reading from ! to 10.
The miles per hour would still be
shown, but in smaller figures. At
the 25-mile figure there would be
a large number /, representing one
danger unit. At the 35-mile mark
there would be a 2. representing
two danger units. At the 45-mile
mark there would be a 3, represent
ing three danger units. At so there
would be a 4, representing four
danger units. At 55 there would be
S. representing five danger units.
At 60 there would be a 6, represent
ing six danger units. At IS there
would be a 7, representing seven
danger units. At 10 there would
be an 8. representing eight danger
units. At rs there would be 9,
representing nine danger units. And
at 30, the last place on the dial,
there would be a 10, representing
ten danger units.
1t isn't very complicated, at that.
A new face on the dial on the
dashboard would be the only me-
chanical change necessitated.
Many reasons are advanced for
this new formula for safer driving,
some of which follow:
Most thoughtful persons will agree
in the generality that too much
speed causes most of our automo-
bile deaths. Engineers know that
the true cause of accidents is energy,
and that speed is but an incidental
fact, having only remote algebraic
relation to danger and energy. It
is energy that makes cars climb
telephone poles and leave curves
energy which the engine has quietly
stored up in the car as it developed
speed. You can read your speed in
the dial on your dashboard, but
who is to tell you how much energy
you are carrying?
The first automobiles were noisy,
likable and human, but the present
day cars are vastly different. They
are inhumanly perfect and silent
at all speeds. Rattles prevented ex-
cessive speeds in the old makes,
but today noises indicating excessive
speeds are gone. In 1919 the average
open road speed of a car was 30.
In 1929 1t was As. And today it is

miles ped hour, twice at IS, and nine
times at IS.
Each danger unit equals 80 feet Of
turning radius. Each danger unit
causes the car to require a longer
turning radius, a radius which for q
dry concrete pavement must be 80
feet longer for each danger unit
carried. Thus you can make only
one-fourth as sharp a turn at so as
you could at 25, and one-ninth ~
sharp a turn at rs as at Is. This IL
called "turnability." Turnability
often joins "bumpability" in throw
Ing your car into skid and then
out Of control. Bumpability Is the
ability of the car to hit dips and
highs In the road without danger.
The blows car receives in the pave
ment are in proportion to the danger
units.
Therefore in the years to come the
answer to the question, How fast
were you going?" may be answered
by "Oh, two or three" with reference
to d.u. and m.ph.
