THE BANNER-COURIER, OREGON CITY, OREGON THURSDAY, APRIL 20, 1922. Page Nird MUFFLER IS NOT VAOTCLOSE Cleaning Up Process Is Over looked or Delayed Until Open ings Become Clogged. INCREASES USE OF GASOLINE Very Important Part of Automobile Is Located Under Car and Out of Sight, and la Rarely Given Attention Needed. One of -the parts of an automobile most neglected by many owners and drivers Is the muffler. As a boy with ja dirty face puts off the cleaning up process just as long as possible, so the motorist with a muffler that needs attention procrastinates and thinks perhaps he will fix It up tomorrow. And tomorrow never comes, But to day Is always here with Its greater use of gasoline and various other com plications that a dirty muffler causes. The muffler is located under the car, and being out of sight Is usually out of mind. It is therefore often neg lected or misused. And yet It ought not to. be. The muffler Is placed on the end of the exhaust pipe of the en gine so that the driver of an automo bile while taking pleasure himself does not wholly deprive others of It. Let us consider the use of the muf fler. The exhaust valve opens while the burned gas is still under a pres sure of from 25 to 30 pounds per square Inch. If this were exhausted directly Into the air the resulting noise would stifle conversation in the car, annoy everybody along the street and quickly get the driver Into trouble with the police. The muffler prevents all this. It provides a chamber in which these exhaust gases may expand and cool somewhat and -at the same time breaks up the pressure by allowing it to leak out slowly through a number of very small holes, Instead of letting it loose In one "big noise." The "Cut-Out" Valve. In the early history of the automo bile mufflers were not used and every body for blocks around knew when an auto was coming. As the automobiles Increased in number this became a nuisance and was stopped by law. Then they sought, indeed had been seeking, a means of stifling the sound. In the early muffler there was trouble because the gas would back up in the cylinder and decrease the power of the motor. It was thought there was no way to decrease the sound without decreasing the power; therefore the manufacturers devised a valve to "cut out" the muffler on the car whenever Sometimes the back pressure was so great as to interfere when driving through heavy roads or up hills. The "cut out" let the gas exhaust directly Into the air Instead of going through the muffler. At the present time near ly every cltyAas a law prohibiting the use of "cut outs." The average driver does not know that his muffler needs as careful at tention as any other part of the mech anism, and so he neglects it. In these days of noiseless cars It requires a great number of very small holes In side muffler. These become clogged with soot or carbon from the exhaust. The deposit collects very rapidly, especially when the grade of oil used is poor or too much oil is used. It also results when the carburetor is adjusted to give too rich a mixture. Openings Become Clogged. When these small openings become clogged the exhaust gases cannot es cape readily, and naturally the cyl inder of the engine is not cleaned at the exhaust stroke. Result: It Is Im possible to bring In a full cylinder of new gas on the next intake stroke. There is not a full charge to explode, and this means a loss of power to the engine.' Cases are known where the throttle was opened wide without any Increase In power. Trying to find out what the matter was, the driver opened the "cut out" and this caused the machine to accelerate very rapidly. No autoist has pushed the engine and train off the track yet. NEW LIFE SAVER FOR AUTOMOBILES SSH5aSHSHSHSZ5cSHSHHHSHS2SH5E5SSSSi5H5aSH5H5SHSH5HSSH5E5HSHSHSa., The latest thing in bumpers is the new life saver for automobiles. The in ventors are Charles Bearly, 11001 Wentworth avenue, Chris Hansen, 11254 South Michigan avenue and William Hasen, 11343 Forest avenue, Chicago, and they are very confident of their invention. Here you see the "fender in prac tical use. FORD CAR HAS MANY REFINEMENTS Body and Mechanical Improvements Meet Public ' Approval The Ford Motor Company, Detroit, has just made public a list of "recent improvements in th e mechanical fea tures of Ford cars. Asserting that Ford cars are better today than they ever have been be fore, the statement adds that fuel consumption is lower; the engine is even more effiicent than formerly, improvements In the springs and steering apparatus insure easier rid ing and driving qualities; a new headlamp lens, which complies with all state laws, improves the road light; and that many other minor bet terments have been made. Ford pistons and connecting rods have been re-designed and are match ed for weight before assembling into motors. This reduces vibration and gives the motor a quicker pick-up. The new pistons weigh three-quarters of a pound less than those formerly used. A highly polished crank shaft bearing surface also reduces wear and, added to the piston and connect ing rod improvements, insures a smoother-running and better balanced motor. The material used in the" Ford crankshaft and the care and precision in its manufacture make it second to none. The new Ford carburetor gives in creased acceleration. Though not radically different from the carburet or previously used, the new construc tion improves the all-around perform ance of the motor, giving it a quicker pickup and a greater flexibility of ac tion. The wiring system has been com pletely re-designed, and while it costs more to install than the old system, is most efficient, proof of which is evidenced by the fact that it affords a fire insurance rate as law as the higher priced cars on the market. Many other changes have been made: A 16 inch steering wheel is now standard equipment; Timken roller bearings are used in the front wheels; one-piece pressed steel xun ningboard brackets insure body rigid ity and eliminate vibration and body noises; a dash weathertrough prevents- rain from reaching coil termi nals or dash wiring; the steering me chanism has also been improved; and the tools supplied to purchasers of Ford cars have also been improved in quality. Another important improve ment in the truck chassis is the adop tion of cord tires as standard equip ment'on the rear wheels. The change made some time ago in the seating arrangement of the Tour ing Car has met with widespread ap proval. By lowering the seats and altering the seat backs, greater com fort was added. It is pointed out that retail sales of a million cars adn trucks yearly, and the consumption of raw and finished products at a cost of approximately one million dollars a day makes it possible to sell Fords at their present low prices and at the same time to produce a car of exceptionally high quality. TO MAKE RAIN VISOR FOR ANY AUTOMOBILE Tin Device Prevents Fogging of Driver's Vision. Elements Kept From Striking Glass and Is Great Help in Stormy Weather When Enameled Suitably It Is Not Con. splcuous. When it. rains against the wind shield the view of the road ' is unr certain and chances of accident are increased. Windshield cleaners are good, but they keep one working. This visor has been devised to pre vent the elements from striking the t- HOLES TOR TACKS -ry iNsiot of top n v1" S X Attached to the top of your automo bile, this tin "-visor prevents .rain or snow from fogging your vision. glass at all and is a great help to driv ers in stormy weather. As most auto- mobillsts keep their tops up during winter, it can De tascenea permanently in place, for that season at least. Cut out a piece of sheet tin the de sired length and so It can be bent about as shown In the perspective of the windshield edge of the visor, and should be punched with several holes so that it can -be tacked to the Inside of the front bow of the top. Make it just low enough so that it will ward off the snow or rain, but not too low to prevent the driver from watching the road. Be sure the side shields come as close as possible to the glass without touching, as they will help to keep drafts from sucking in the snow or rain at the sides. When enameled a suitable color to match the car, it will not be unbe coming or conspicuous in - the least. Popular Science Monthly. AUTOMOBILE GOSSIPS TJnder-lnflation and over-loading account for most' tire trouble. A not infrequent cause of hard start ing is over-richness of the mixture. Clogging of the cooling system may be prevented by cleaning it at least twice a year with sal soda. Kubber is very quickly disintegrated by oil, and at the same time it has a most unfortunate capillary affinity for the oU. A new owner of an automobile, when searching for trouble, often creates more than he finds. The metal surfaces, of the wheel spindle should be greased when mak ing a change of wire wheels. Poor compression is the cause" of an engine using an excessive amount of oil and gasoline.
