Trimming the Interior of a car
With cloth that (JellghtH the eye
ia one thing, but making certain
thai the fabric Is going to give
good servitcts quite another mat
ter. Nowhere Is this more strick
Ingly Illustrated than in the way
the. Ford Motor Company tests the
cloth it buys for upholstering clo
sed cars .
No woman shopper, however
sharp and shrewd. ev-r thought
of going to such pains In examin
ing cloth she wan about to buy as
does the Ford Motor Company
when it purchases upholstery
materials. It always k'eps an eye
out for attractive appearance and
in so doing considers shades that
will not easily show the dust and
dirt. Of even more importance
are the numerous tests devised to
determine the wearing tm!itics of
the materials. The Ford car
usually is subjected to harder us
age than any other car, and
the exceptional appearance of
trimming to be Keen every day In
oars that have been used for years
attests to the thoroughness of the
company t-sts.
To begin with there's the "rub
bing" test, a simple, but highly
effective way in which the com
pany finds out the wearing qua
lity of all new cloth submitted as
possible material for trimming.
Jn this test two seat cushions
are automatical ly rubbed together.
In making tin-, teat a stiindard
cushion Is taken at random from
slock and is placed In an elect
rically controlled device against a
t isluon trimmed with the cloth to
b. tested. When both are in
place, firmly pressed together, a
H-vttch is puled and the rubbing
match is on.
The mechanism of the machine
permits a two and a half inch
s roke. and exc-pt for occasional
Inspections the rubbing process
continues until the cloth on one
or both cushions is worn out.
Standard Ford cloth usually stands
up for approximately 1 i hours
before it Kives way under (his ex
treme treatm-nt. If the new
cloth lasts as lung or longer than
the standard article it is passed
on to other tests that disclose the
exact tensile strength, the density
of Its weave, weight and distribut
ion of its wool and cotton contests.
As all cloth used in trimiuMik
Ford closed earn has what b.
known as an "up and down" wmi
ve (the same numb-r of libns in
the warp as there are in the
woof! the tensile str-nglh both
crosswise and lengthwise must be
the same. To test this one-Inch
Btrlps of the cloth are placed In
a machine that pulls them uulil

A common cause of motor
overheating Is a retarded sparU.
A retarded spark causes a late
bpark, a spark that dots not fla
unt!! the piston has start- 1
downward on the explosion stroke.
Consequently the gases have ex
panded and w hen fired are In
contact with a larger nr. -a of the
cylinder walls. As the water sys
tem is in contact with this larg
er heated area, there is greab-i-and
quickor heat absorption w hi' ii
when continued for any length tf
time, causes overheating.
In a six cylinder engine, ut a
speed of I'tJMM H. P.M., the dis
tributor furnishes 13" sparks per
second. With a retarded spai-K
the temperature reaches neany
J0 degrees Fahrenheit In di
rect touch with a larger arae of
the cylinder walls. Again the
heat indicating Instrument on tin
radiator cap comes to your aid.
and warns you that something is
generating an abnormal amo jut of
heat w hich, unless quickly cor
rected, will cause serious dam-uffe.

As related in a preceding art
tieh the test carried out by 1 he
Itureail of Standards at Washing
ton showed that It took an wver
ac" of a little over at half a tn'ond
for a driver to rhange his foot
from the accelerator to th" brake.
or that a cur at thirty mil- an
hour traveled about twenty. two
feet before the brakes were touch
d. In these tests eaeh driver was
expeeting th'- signal to stop. It is
safe to assume, t lo-re fore, that it
would take considerably longer to
shift the foot from the ncrelerator
to brake pedal If Ho driver was
not waiting for the signal.
