USUALLY AWAITS CALAMITY
Operator Should Familiarize Himself
With Wiring on Hia CarInstruc
tion Book Will Help Solve
Puzzling Situation.
"The avernze driver knows nothing
about electricity, as applied to the au-j
tomobile,' and so is unable to tell when j
the ignition system is functioning;
properly," says a well-known motorcar :
authority. I
"He is afraid to experiment and be- j
lieves in letting things alone until
something happens. He then Iookj
over the system for the tirst time,
and, of course, does not know whether
the wiring is right or not. I have re
peatedly pointed out cases of worn In
sulation among other troubles about
which tlus operator seemed entirely
lost In one case the spark was jump
ing freely from a distributer wire to a
piece of metnl nearby, and he pointed
to it as evidence that he hud a good
spark evidently accepting it us a mat
ter of course that the spark should
jump where It did.
Watch Chafing Wires.
"Even If the operator understands
nothing of the nature of his ignition
system he should, at least, familiarize
himself with the positions of the vari
ous wires, tlieir colors and general
condition. Here the instruction book
will be a great help. Watch particu
larly for cases where one wire chafes
against another or some piece of
metal. Such places should be protect
ed with electric tape, or at least sepa
rated so that no short circuit may oc
cur. But the high tension or secondary
(vires may develop a short circuit
where least expected, so that it would
he well to go over them occasionally
to see that no leakage takes place.
This is particularly true during rainy
weather. The moisture Is drawn in
by the fan and scattered around under
the hood.
Hunting the Trouble.
"Wires which did not leak current
before will short-circuit during a wet
spell. The best method Is to run the
engine and to trace along each wire,
lifting it away from any place It may
touch so as to see or feel If the cur
rent is leaking through the Insulation.
Where a leak is noted the place must
be taped.
"A more puzzling problem occurs
where all the wires from the distrib
uter pass through a metal tube. There
is always a possibility of a short cir
cuit from the wires to the tube as the
tube is always grounded. Proceed as
follows: First, find out if the current
enters the suspected wires. To do this,
disconnect the wire at the distributer
end and hold It near its contact, to see
if spark jumps. If no spark Is seen the
trouble is not in the wire, but In the
distributer. If a good spark occurs at
the distributer but none at the other
end of the wire there is a short in be
tween. The wire must be pulled out
and a good one substituted, although
the old one may be made serviceable
again."
Tires May Be Quickly Inflated Whll
on Road by Employing Method De
scribed Illustration Gives
View of Connection.
Inflating tires quickly While on the
road may be accomplished by the well
known method of uing one of the-engine
cylinders as a compressor. T
take the place of the spark-plug on
one cylinder preferably the one In the
rear make a connection for the
air-hose as follows:
Use a nipple having the same thread
as the spark-plug, and on this turn an
ordinary pipe coupling. The spark
plug Is turned Into the upper end of
the coupling.
This provides a means of tapping
the coupling for a side outlet. Into

Keep careful track of your oil con

that there Is a leak which is expensive,
or that the engine is sucking It up Into
the combustion splice, which means

follow.

(HANDLER SIX
Famous For Its Marvelous Motor
See How Chandler ChecKs With
Hig'h-Priced Cars
THE Chandler Six throughout its seven years of production has been distin
guished for its many distinctively superior features of design and equipment
which are used also on the highest priced American cars, and not used in any
considerable degree by cars now priced hundreds of dollars higher than the
Chandler. See, then, how the Chandler checks with ten of the best-known high
priced cars in these features selected as being characteristic of high-grade design
and most efficient service.
Superior Chandler Features and
the High-Priced Cars that use Them
ONE PIECE ALUMINUM MOTOR BASE,
which ties the frame of the car together
at four points, thus providing a stiffer
frame as well as a more rigid motor
mounting. Also used by Packard, Loco
mobile (Bronze), Mercer, Winton, Flat,
Brewster, Stutz, Pierce-Arrow.
SILENT CHAIN DRIVE for Motor Shafts.
Also used by Winton, Packard, Cadillac,
Brewster, Fiat, Mercer.
TORQUE ARM OR TUBE. Also used by
Pierce-Arrow, Locomobile, Brewster,
Winton, Cadillac, Packard, Stutz.
ANNULAR BALL-BEARING TRANS
MISSION. Also used by Winton, Stutz,
Pierce-Arrow, Brewster, Cadillac, Flat,
Locomobile, Packard, Marmon.
ANNULAR BALL- BEARING DIFFER
ENTIAL. Also used by Marmon, Stutz, .
Plerce-Arrow, Fiat, Brewster, Packard,
Locomobile.
ANNULAR BALL-BEARING REAR
WHEELS. Also used by Packard, Stutz,
Locomobile, Marmon, Plerce-Arrow,
Fiat, Mercer. . .
HIGH TENSION MAGNETO IGNITION.
Also used by Locomobile, Mercer, Fiat,
Brewster, Winton.
THEN, see how these seven cars sixes which max be considered
competitive to the Chandler do NOT check
One car, listing at $2978, checks with Chandler in only one feature One car, listing at $2195, check with Chandler in only two feature
Onecar.listingat $2685,check wlthChandlerln only three features One car, listing at $2045, checks with Chandler inonly two feature
One car, listing at $2400, checks with Chandler In only one feature One car, listing at $ 1945, check with Chandler in only one feature
. One car, listing at $2250, does not check with Chandler in any feature
Not a single one of the aeven makes of medium-priced Sixes referred to offers you High Tension Magneto Ignition.
The Chandler offer you Bosch, recognized the world over a the best Ignition system. Only one of them offers you
the silent chain drive, although another one of them in its higher-priced model ($3450), Incorporates this feature.
These Statements are Facts and they Give You
a Few of the Reasons for Chandler Leadership
