w PAGE SIX OILING OF AUTO IS _ _ IMPORTANT FEATURE TECHNIC IS EXPLAINED Advisor of New York Y .M.C.A. Automobile School Tells _ How, When and Why It Is Necessary A friend of mine whose sick wife in . the hospital suddenly became worse, hastened in his motor car to her side. On a lonely stretch of counâ€" try road late at night, only four miles from his destination, the automobile came to a standstill. It refused to go on. The machine, lacking suffiâ€" cient oil, had "frozen" a cylinder. Thus delayed, he arrived at his wife‘s side too late to see her alive. _ The automobile, like all machines that go on wheels, needs proper luâ€" brication. Even a wheelâ€"barrow with its single wheel goes better when well oiled. Fortunately the experience of my friend was exceptional, But it ifNlustrates the importance of being sure there is enough oil in your autoâ€" motive machine. .

These are gas in the cylinder, comâ€" pression and spark. To keep the enâ€" gine going there must be at least two thingsâ€"a cooling system and lubrication. â€" Cooling is necessary to keep the cylinder walls at a temperaâ€" ture low enough so that the oil reâ€" quired can ‘perform ‘its lubricating friction of the parts sliding over each a film of oil between the cylindey and the lzmm which travels up and down inside of it. : Eliminate such lubrication and the friction of the parts aliding over| each other would be so great the engine gould not develop sufficient power to drive itself to say nothing of adding the weight of passengers or freight. To undertake to run an engine withâ€" out lubrication is to put it out of busiâ€" ness for all time. l Is No Exception . _ . â€" :The auto engine‘is no exception to machinery where there are numerâ€" ous places that have sliding contacts and consequently points which require lubrication. These include the cylinâ€" der walls, piston, pistopâ€"rings, bearâ€" ings of crank shafta«nd crank pins, little ‘bearings in the piston to supâ€" port the piston pin, bearing on which the cam shaft revolves, the cams and the valve lifters which they operate, the guides for valve lifters, the gears and chains which operate cam shaft, ‘possibly "the pump shaft, the shaft ‘for wop timing and the generator. All th parts x:m:mfly inâ€" ed inside of the ine and are Ebrl- cated from the common supply of oil that is placed in the crank case of the engine. Different, Types f A number of different types of enâ€" gine lubricating systems are to be found. In one of these the oil is foreed under pressure to practically every sliding part. Perhaps the most common system is that in which the oil is earried in ‘a compartment callâ€" ed a sump or reservoir in the bottom of the crank case, â€" On the top or side of the crank case provision is made for flling this sump and there is usuâ€" ally a ‘float or some other device to indicate how much oil is on hand at any time. This crank case may carâ€" ry a gallon or more of oil. As the inâ€" dicator shows that the oil supply is getting low, fresh oil should be put in, or the entire supply should be reâ€" newed every 500 miles. In this sysâ€" tem there is a pump that forces the oil to each of the crank shaft main beprings, thence through <passages inside of the shaft, to the connecting rod bearings. From these bearings it is sometimes led under pressure to the wrist pin bearings in the pistons but usually it is allowed to leak out around the connecting rod bearings. Because of the rapid rotation the erank shaft the oil is thrown fivfith foree and lubricates â€", the nder tained in it. â€" Thus as practically every working part of the motor is . contained in the crank case or in the compartments such as the cylinder .and timing gear case which opens diâ€" rectly into the crank case, the lubriâ€" cation of the engine entirely is cared for by this system. The possible exâ€" ceptions are the fan bearings, genâ€" erator, starter motor bearings, and water pump glands. , . The pump which circulates the oil delivers much more oil than used. This is done so that an ample supply may be assured under all cireumâ€" If too much oil is thrown off from the revolving crank shaft or if the pistons and rings do not fit the cyâ€" linder properly, the oil is likely to work past the piston in large quantiâ€" ties, get into the combustion chamâ€" bers, be burned a%;xhamd in the form of smoke. is is one of the causes of carbon deposit in the cylinâ€" der which in turn causes knocking. 1 How Oil Operates f In addition .to â€" lubricating the eylinder wall, this oil, that is fed, lubricates practically all other workâ€" ing parts of the engine. For instance as the crank shaft revolves at highâ€" speed, the cil is splashed and broken up into a very fine spray or fog. This is cireculated by air inside the engine and is deposited on every part conâ€" k KJW:-; Â¥in Ti sCOT IS FATHER OF MODERN HARD ROADS J. L. McAdam, Born In Ayr, John L. McAdam, ljom in Ayr, Scotland, in 1756, is the father of the modern: hard road, ding to the American Research F tion in a recent. bulletin. . Mc , it is obâ€" served, played so a part in improving the roads o England and Seotland that the British government in 1827 rewarded him with a gift of "The macadamized M'io comâ€" mon until the advent of the more permanent concrete Md, was named after the canny old Scot who saw the enormous cost of bad roads to this empire," says the Metin,. "And as we look back we must realize the mark he made on the world and how his efforts brought: p 88. 10,000 pounds. "It has been largely the hard surâ€" faced highway that h-l:Lm.de possible the development of the great motor plants like Ford and General motors; the great oil companies like Standard, Sinclair and Gulf, that has speeded up the industriecs of America. *It is possible had the internal combustion motor and the concrete highway come first that there would have been far fewer railroads today. Hard roads and motors have resulted in many short lines of railroad, and quite a few interu going into receivership and being junked," stances. To take care|of the surplus a byâ€"pass is provided. | This is equipâ€" ped with a valve ha a .spring that will permit it to open when the presâ€" sure â€" reaches â€"â€" a ximately â€" 80 pounds. This press is thus mainâ€" tained; the surplus oil returning to the crank case through the byâ€"pass. It is a good idea to inspect the oil quantity indicator eath time before driving the car to be pure that there is an adequate supply and toâ€"see that the pressure gauge on the instrument board registers when the engine is running. es shB Change Oil After this oil is us again it becomes fill of metal. .
