Answer: "On the" face of the evidence" it seems most likely that this is an ignition knock, resulting from the spark being set a little suit conditions, when the engine is turning over slowly with the throttle well opened It some- times happens that wear of the breaker points advances the spark position quite a little, enough so that with all the retard that can be secured by the spark lever, ignition occurs before it should, at slow speeds. You better check up the separation of your breaker points and adjust them, if this proves nec- essary, and also verify the correct- ness of your spark-timing by refer- ence to the flywheel-marks and the instruction book, making any changa that may be found neces- sary, INFORMATION 1SSURD WHILE CBs Persons May Be Summarily Arrested For Various Offences. | minfster of public works and high- ways on June 13th, the following in- formation of interests to motorists, is found: > The motor vehicle law of the prov- ince has for many years provided that persons might be summarily ar- |rested for the following offences: 1.

M. writes: I have been having some trouble in keeping the battery charged on my CAr, as I drive but little and make short trips only. Can the generator be readjusted so as to charge at a higher rate and, if so, how? : This generator has third- brush regulation and its output can be increased by loosening the hold- er of the third-brush (the one that has connection with the field-wind- ing only), moving it slightly in the direction of armature rotation and securing it there. It is usually nec- essary to refit the brush end to the commutator in its new position. This is rather a fussy job, which can be done more conveniently by a service station than by the mo- torist. Before having this change made, we advise you to make sure that the battery terminals are clean and tight, that the battery and wir- Ing are in perfect condition to hold the charge and that the brushes and commutator of the generator are O.'K.
