Installing Headlight Lenses Fe Lamps Themselves Must Be Right Or Poor Results Will Follow THERP ARE NUMEROUS MAKES of headlight lens, that are capable of meeting all legal and practical requirements as to glare prevention, control of the road lighting beam and the provision of adequate diffused fllumination, but they will not give good results unless the headlights to which they are applied are adjusted in all respects to conform with the directions usually furnished with them, nor will they work properly with rusty or badly tarnished reflectors, or bulbs of unfit quality or type. Headlight adjustment usually has to be made with the lenses off and the following are some of its general requirements, the car being set on the level so as to throw the light on the wall of a building or a board set up in front of it, at about a 26 foot distance. The narrowest beam is secured when the bulb is so adjusted (back and forth) in the reflector that the smallest circle of light is thrown and a slightly divergent beam is secured when the bulb is moved backward from this position, but not quite enough to produce a black spot In the circle of light. Whichever focus is required, it must be the same for the two lamps. The ordinary requirement is that the two lamps shall throw horfzontal beams, which means that the centers of both bright spots, cast by them, shall be as high above the level as are the lamp centers, but if a downward tilt of a certain amount is required, this can be obtalmed by calculation. These adjustments are secured, in the absence of any other provision, by bending the lamp brackets with a big monkey-wrench. Both beams should point straight ahead, and the horizontal distance between centers of the eircles of light should equal the horizontal dis- tance between the centers of the lamps, this adjustment being obtained by loosening the brackets in their clamps and turning the lamps the required amount. Lamps thus adjusted, should give excellent results when the lenses are in place. PUMP HAS TO BE PRIMED J. E. M. writes: The oil-pump of my car does not operate satisfactorily. The engine has to! be run several minutes before the gage shows pressure and, at times, on slow speed, the pump has to be primed. Can you suggest where the trouble is? Answer: When the engine of this car is idling slowly, the gage may show little if any pressure and still no trouble be indicated but pressure should be shown at once STARTS ENGINE BY COASTING CAR ' R. writes: At times I cannot Have your crank case properly cleaned and re- filled with the right grade of Imperial Polarine Motor Qils: Then--check up on the way your car performs.

The pump on this not being located in the ofl reservoir, but in a slightly elevated position, there is a possibility of the oil draining out of it and of its becoming filled with air, if the car is left disused for a tong time, especially if shere is any leak inp the system. It is possible that ghere may be air-leaks at the union connections of the oll piping, the pump otsing: or élsewhers, which you can eliminate and stop this trouble. If, when the engine is running, oil squirted around these points is drawn in, it is evi- dence that the joints are not tight. Sometimes the tubing cracks and causes this kind of trouble. start my engine with the starter, but if I let the car coast down a hill and let in the clutch after suffi- client momentum is attained, it will start. Can you suggest a reason for this? Answer; We do not know how fast your starter cranks your en- gine, but if it cranks it only rather slowly, it may be that the mixture which reaches the cylinders is not rich enough to ignite, on account of the fact that the choker does not close quite tightly or because there is an air-leak somewhere In the intake system. Under such con- ditions the higher cranking speed secured by coasting the car, would draw a rich enough mixture to fire.

Another theory is that your starter motor, when in action, draws such a large current that the voltage of the battery is reduced below the point at which it can produce a good spark.

Hot Weather And Thinned Lubricants Beasonal Variations Call For Changes In Oil And Grease Viscosity IT I8 TO BE REGRETTED that greases and oils do not retain their consistencies unchanged, no matter what temperatures they are sub- jected to, because this shortcoming puts the motorist to some incon. venience, but they do not. When the days come, when ice has to be used to keep the table Butter from assuming the liquid form on the plate (or perhaps before), it is time to ccnsider the condition of the "dope" in a car's housings, for it is similarly affected by hot weather. During the winter, transmission and axle-housing lubricant usually has to be thinned to keep it fit for its work and, if this has been done, it must be brought back to a proper consistency, for use during the summer, The rear-axle temperature is controlled almost entirely by the weather and not by engine ceveloped heat and thus the quality of its lubricant requires most seasonal "attetitfon, although that of the transmission demands it also, especially if the gear-box is separate from the engine base. Generally speaking, the lubricant ui in these housings should always possess the following qualities: IY must be free from foreign matter and of good quality, it should be thin enough to insure its being circulated to all bearing surfaces and it should be viscous enough so as to resist the pressures between working ts and thus to maintain an unbroken cushioning film and also thi enough to minimize its leakage. Housing lubricant that is right for winter use is likely to become so thin in het weather that it will fail to cushion the gear teeth and excessive nolse and wear will result. Moreover, it will be likely to escape along the shafts, resulting in loss and "messiness," the liability of the supply becoming'short and, in the case of the rear axle, the loss of braking power due to grease getting on the drums. In hot weather, after a car has been run, if upon removing the draw-off plug from a housing, the lubricant runs out with almost the freedom of water, it is pretty certain that it is too thin. It should escape sluggishly and show considerable "body" and to bring this about either a sufficient quantity of a light grease should be put in and mixed with the lubricant "already there, to give the required viscosity or the contents of the hous- ing should be removed and a filling of something like steam cylinder oll substituted. If the mafiulacturers' instructions recommend other- wise, their advice should be followed, but the above suggestions apply THE VICTORIA CAFE - JEWLY LEE, Manager. 354 KING STREET TELEPHONE 762.

B, Jr, asks: What causes the clicking noise in the engine of my car, which is most pro- nounced when it is climbing a steep hill or when I feed the gas a Mittle too fast? t We cannot say definite- ly, but it is quite likely that it may be the slapping of loose pistons, as this is heard especiaily when the throttle is opened suddenly. How- ever, this trouble usually occurs only after a car has been run a good many thousand miles, assum- ing that the original piston fit was good. If the nolse ceases when you retard the spark slightly, it may be that ignition is somewhat over You describe the nolse as a "click" from which we infer that it' is not such a sound as could be attributed to loose bear- If the engine has not been decarbonized, you will get knock, which perhaps | a carbon could be described as a click. = Mr. Clough in this column, desired, self-addressed, stamped envelope GENERATOR FAILS TO EXCITE E. B, writes: My generator failed to work and I found the fleid coils oll-soaked. After drying ibis oft, it worked for a time but now it has failed again and there seonis no way of keeping oil off it. Would a bigger fleld-brush do any good? Could battery current be used to excite the fields and, if so, how? Answer: Using a different third brush would be of no advamtage, 80 far as we can see. If, after the engine is runaing, you close the contacts of the relay, by hand, you will send current thro! the fleld colls and, if the windings and con- tacts are O. K. the generator should pick up. A new set of field coils, with an extra coat of shellac or other oilpreof ¢o und, might remove your difficulty, but you should be absolutely sure that the commutator is perfectly clean and of general interest to the motorist will de answered by Ifani diate is 'Wagarville News.
