It H not unusual to henr nn au
tomobile ntt'nw remark that he
intends putting new eo m invasion
rings ft" his pistons. The operation
is mil considered one calling for a
iih Hwree of skill, but if the
nwiior were to put the rings he in
t finis using to the wime tests are
required of all rings put into Olrts
mobiles at the factory he would
require considerable, '-equipment
nml training just 'to select rings
that would function most efficient
ly. V; . ".
Kvery compression ring used nt
the OlilsmoMle factories must pass
ffiur tests for roindness, flatness,
thickness and gap size. Two 'na
Mlant" light machines and two sets
of gauges are used for these tests.
To give perfect results and elim
inate any chance, of side wall wear
a compression ring should he as
perfectly round as is the cylinder.
To insure tills every ring is. placed
Into a cylindrical fixture the inside
diameter of which is exactly that
of an Oldsmobile engine cylinder.
This fixture Is placed upon the
liun top of Tin illuminated hous
ing. That portion of the glassin
side the lnnor diameter of the ring
is blackened so that light only
shows in circle of the thickness of
the rintr. . If the ring Is not per
fectly round a ray of light ts seen
between the outer edge of the ring
and the side of the fixture. In
-fich cases the ring is rejected. 1
To make, positive that rings arc
fl;it and parallel, each ring is
placed upon a hollow,' gourd-tike
devico containing tin electric lamp
mid having a perfectly flat, circu
lar top approximately three Inches
ia diameter. A lid -like, oover is
lowered over the ring. Ah the
! ;.nver
i kjippnr
nver surface of the lid and the
Hiirfaco of the fixture are
llel within .0001 inch, the.
slightest variation In fl-itness or
niimllelism is instantly shown by
a light ray.
