How the battery is affected by ir- regularities 4 Other parts of the system is explained by Ken Wilson, of the Wilson Tire Company, tire and -hattery experts. The electrical system of an auto- mobile might be compared - to a chain in which the storage battery is the middle link. Satisfactory opera- tion of the battery Is very necessary to the strength of the chain, but, like a chain link, the battery's usefulness is dependent on the satisfactory op- eration of other units, "First, the upkeep of the battery's energy is dependent on the genera, tor. The best of generators are not immune from occasional irregular ities; die to" natural wear and tear of adjustment, and should be inspect. ed occasionally for the 'purpose of checking up their work. If the gen- erator is not working properly, the effect will first be shown in a gradu. ally weakening battery. "Too often the battery is blamed for lack 'of power, when, as a matter of fact, it is literally starving be- cause the" generator is not deliver- ing the proper charge or none at all "Failure of the starter or lights te work properly is not always due to a weak battery. It is possible for starters to get out of order, for wires 10' become short-circuited, and for coptacts and switches to wear . out: Often the apparent failure of a bat- tery to hold its own is due entirely to a shortwircuit in the electrical system,which causes a constant drain on "the "battéry's vitality. "Irregularities in the operation of the electrical equipment should be attended to at once, as almost inc variably they affect the battery in One: way or another. Our battery man can usually locate the trouble very readily, and:advise the motorist a8 to what is necessary in the way of adjustment." : inset.
