ALBERT L. CLOUGH . , f Lditor Motor Service Bureau Review' of Review® Grease. Or Oil For Chassis Lubrication? The Former Won'tDistridute Itself And The Latter Won't "Stay Put" CHASSIS LUBRICATION--the lubrication of spring bolts, steering gear conmectiohs and the like--requires more time and labor than any other single car maintenance operation, that Is, when it {s attended to often enough. Most instrucgion books call for "dally attention" to these bearings or specify that they shall be lubricated every 150 miles, but this requirement is seldom lived up to and even if very fair atten- tion Is accorded, wear nevertheless soon becomes noticeable and the car becomes rattly on this account. It is not unusual for spring-pins ind bushings and steering-gear devices and ping to require two or three replacements, during the average life of a car. troversy has heen going on concerning the relative advantages of grease and fluld oils for the lubrication of chassis parts and new methods of applying these lubricants have been making thelr appear ance. The entire question is one of great actual importance, but {s far from. being settled, as is evidenced by the great diversity of practice on the part of car manufacturers, some using ofl and some grease, with . t considerable variety of feeding devices. Experience has shown that ? bearing which makes less than a full rotation, such as a spring-eye dearing. does not reliably distribute over its entire surface the grease which is supplied it, serious wear taking place at the "dry" portions. Further, If a heavy grease or even a soft grease, thickened by cold, is ised it is very difficult to force it through the passages to the bearing surfaces, especially if the lubricant therein has become hardened, as 'he fresh grease will squeeze back, past the threads of the ordinary frease cup, rather than enter the bearing. Instead of entering between surfaces having heavy pressure between them (where it Is most 1eeded), grease tends to escape to lightly loaded portions of a bearing . Oil -on the other hand has the inherent ability to distribute itself, "by Its 'own "creeping" or capillary action, which grease does not possess There is little trouble experienced in getting it into a bearing but, by the same token, it readily leaks out and collects on external surfaces, which is not the case with grease. If grease is to he the lubricant used, a means for introducing it more conveniently and at higher pres- sure than by the conventional compression grease cup is highly advis: able and anything approaching a hard grease should be avoided. It oll is used, means for retaining it and for feeding the supply gradually are of advantage. \ DANGER FROM GARAGE | the stove or heater In this addition HEATER or lean-to? clr ne RIGHT REAR TIR¥.

If one has a grease-cup equipment, he can replace each cup with the ball-check and locking device, required to adapt it to receive grease, much more convenlently and effectively from one of the high pressure grease guns, furnished with a nossle to connect with all these fittings. In case one wishes instead to try oll, there are simple, dust- proof oll retainers, oil cups which let down their contents when sub jected to vibration but otherwise retain it, ofi cup devices which when operated force the lubricant into the ofl ways under pressure and various forms of cups or reservoirs which feed their supply, gradually, through wicking or felt to the bearing surfaces. Devices of this class can usually be screwed right into the old holes. Then there are gun devices on the market for chassis lubrication by means of heavy oll, of such a: consistency as to possess some "creeping" tendency but viscous enough so that It does mot escape like ordinary engine oll. Ball check ofl retainers made to take the nossle of such an ofl gun can be substituted for other screwed-in fittings. Changing m a bothersome, time consuming and dirty method of chassis Jubrication 'to one that is convenient and quick and at the same time gives positive results, If almost always to the advantage of the car as well as of the' motorist, because the lightening of the labor involved usually causes it to be performed 'mare frequently and regularly.
