Very often such lubricant leaks call for the renewal of the felt washers which are de- signed to prevemt them, but which have become so flattened out or they mo longer serve their purpose.

G. asks: Can you tell me of a practical way to restore lubricating oll to its original condition or near it, after it has been used and drained from the ena ecrank- case? I can take the diment out by letting the oll stand and drain- ing it off, but the Kerokéne is what bothers me. If it is left in, 1t thins the oil and impairs its lubricating qualities. Answer: The heavy fuel ends or keroseny portion, evaporate at a lower temperature than does the oil itself and"fracttonal distillation 1s the only means for separating these two components, so far as we know. By heating used oll to the right temperature and keeping it there for some time, the kerosene can be boiled out, without injuring the ofl. 'This is generally done by blowing live steam through the used oil, using a fatty alkaline com- pound to settle the sediment and draining "out the water condensed from the steam.

H. 8 writes: The engine of my. car has been skipping a little of late and I suspect this may ba caused by the cables that run into the distributor having hecome de- fective, particularly as they are pretty well oll-soaked. How can I tel if they are at fault? Answer: If you are sure that everything else about the ignition System Is O. K. you can make this test: Set the engine idling and de- tach one plug cable from its plug holding it with a piece of rubber to avold a shock, and remove its end away from the plug gradual- ly, allowing the spark to Jump to its binding screw. If the spark occurs regularly until the air space becomes % In¢h or 86, the cable is presumably a right, but if it skips part of the time or if you can hear a snapping or see a spark among the wires, the cable being tested has defedtive Insulation and should be replaced. The rest of the cables #hould successively be treated in the same way.

Tire manufacturers have for sometime past been working upen thé probieni of the "air cushion" tire--=jocularly known by. the name used in thé! title of this article and considerable experimenting has been dene with thin, flexible walled tires of sectional . diameters excelling seven inches, but inflated to préssures not over 35 pounds per square inch, and it looks as though the commercial produc tion of such tires might soon be expected. To just what extréme thé movement toward big tires and low pressures may go cannot be fore casted, but it seems prétty certain that the future will witness a sub- stantial development along thess lines. Testimony regarding the per. formance of these aireushion tirés is to the effect that they enable a car to be driven fast over {ugh roads without "Shaking up" the pas- sengers; that rattles and fuheaks are suppressed; that they are not wasteful of power and show creditable mileage and freedom from punctures and furthermore that they tramamit braking effort very ef fectively and do not conduce to skidding. On the other hand, théy may make steering somewhat more laborious, especially when manveuvering in close quarters, and they raise a lot of dust on sandy roads. POSSIBLY A SPARK KNOCK ¢ ~ ® ©) F. W.
