Something That One Cannot Be Too Cereful About DETERMINING THE DEPTH OF OIL in the crankeass, one o following devices is provided: (1) A cork float, which he surface of the ofl and which carries an mdex on its stem, with "full" and "low" marks.

HB. writes: Ofi leaks out from the transmission of my Ford, apparently between the housing and the left side supporting arm, running down the side of the case and dripping off at the drain cock. The starter in sket and [that between the sections of the housing have heen replaced and the bolts tightened. but ofl still sscapes. Where does it come from? Answer: We cannot tell you, but the best way to find out Is thoroughly to clean the whole out- side of the transmission case of escaped oil, then run the ear for a short distance and look for ofl which has run out, the source of which should be at once apparent. Possibly it gscapes atpund the clutch shaft or one of the pedal , Shafts or it may be that there is a = defect where the supporting arm is attached to the housing. You ma find that some of the gaskets still leak or that there is some loss of oll at the flange of the universal joint housing. No matter where the ofl escapes, it usually drips off the drain fitting, as this is the low. est point of the housing, 4 ONESELF FOR AUTOMOBILE POSITION - A. T. E writes: I want to enter the automobile business. What Step should .I take to fit myself for this work? Answer: We believe that the combination of a course of study in automobile subjects and of prac- tical experience as an employee in a Rarage, repair shop and sales room added to a fairly good education in general subjects makes an excellent preparation. There are some auto bile = Is that combine in their courses the required instruc- tion from books and by lectures apd laboratory work of a practical nature, but if one is not able to take such g course, thers are corre. spondence courses which are of distinct value to the earnest stu- dent and indeed, by home reading of motor books, of the trade jour- nals and even of manufacturers catalogues a very good idea of the technical side of the business may be obtained which. If supplemented by & course of actual work In a service station or factory will give one a prefty good fit. A business course and instruction in sales manship are both advisable if the student Is alming at a connection with the commercial rather than the technical side of the Industry. ¥ 2 "Accepted For .

The nuts holding the water outflow manifold to the block may have te be set up to forestall leaks. The fan belt may be found too loose and require taking up. If there are signs of leakage at the waterpump, the shaft packing nuts require screwing tn a little. : : Oarburation And Fuel System The gasket at the carburetor ange connection may Bhve squeezed loose, in which case air leakage will develop there, unless the bolts are tightened and the same likelihood of stray air and imperfect car. buration is involved if-intake branch connections are otherwise than tightly secured to their ports in the block.
