KXAimxixa niK chassis ' " The Electrical 'Apparatua ; JThe electrical apparatus' of the average cars usually ; consists of fUr majer units, namely, fcattery, generator,. starting: inotor 'and dis tributor nrithfiu coil. In addi tion to these, minor units" consist of c witches, lamps, faaes and the wiring assembly, 'better Known as the ''electrical harness" In' shop talk. ' r The , battery and' generator are the most .Important units. . The other units' cannot ff unction prop-, erly unless these are In good work- ing condition. Every revolution that your motor turns means' that yearis deyelojlng ln the "gener ator. ' The present - day- generator is good' 'for the 4lif ejbf the car, proridlngr lt-reecTyes-"pdper care and "adjustment, ' Giving the bat tery proper tare and the; necessary frequent ratUntlnJtalIfe, 1 al though -shorter . than 'the 'gener ator, can Im materially increased.' "' Generator and battery-troubles are In ''sympathy "with each other. A 'low charging rate shown at the ammeter may be due to aome dis arrangement 1n either Unit. ; Im pending generator .and battery troubles are not always announced by irregular ebarging'rate.! I have eeen 'either one break down com pletely in the course ofc an hour, and again if your electrical appar atus' has given V yearor'more of satisfactory ,aerv!ee, . ft ; does not follow, that thl.wfll continue for ever Ctommutatbr wear .1 i devel oping all' the tfmei, brushesbecome sticky and worn j Charging at ex cessive high rates runs the temper atufea up,"c4Usine, failures. ;t The latter is more liable to develop in the spring and summer with 'long er s days and higher; temperatures, because the .battery, has less work to do. Therefore, you can readily appreciate the -danger rot- over charging r and luting. and the necessity of having these units in spected regularly by the electrical service stations.

It is a ' very eimple matter to tighten wire terminals or change a. fuse. . Every car" own er should understand this and by making an inspection of your elec trical units periodically ' in your garage you - tend to : familiarize yourseir ; with things which may be of ; value to you In the event that trouble develops on the road.

The' corrosion acts as an insulator between the battery post' and terminal. Veiy often , ' this I condition- will give enough current for the lamps, but a voltage too - weak f or-etarting. To Illustrate hdw this condition can fool the best of them, I once had a neighbor who was a battery expert and connected with a man ufacturer of electric cars although he 'drove r a "gasoline cart for- his own use. After cranking his car off and on for oyer an hour, one day, he gave up ' ahd - called for assistance: : I, He first informed me that 'his lattery had just "been re charged, ahd :; to V prove,, .this, ap plied a" volt meter to 1 the BAT TERY POSTS,which showed the battery fully' ' charged, 4 but no spark- occurred at -the-plugs, 'nOr would the "itirter rcrank the mc- tbrrFurther lhviestlgatlon showed the attery terminals to be tight. Howeyer, " when placing the volt meter bn . the , BATTERY WIRE TERMINALS, there a not volt age 'registered. - The terminals appeared clean'on the'surf ace that makes contact 'L'with " battery iposl badly corroded, 'i This formed a perfect insulation. After, filing, r the "contact faces and replacing the terminals, mo tor started ' with first application of starter, j The' moral, Is;" when testing the battery in Vour car, alwhys make a double check; first at the TERMINAL POSTS, j then on the' TERMINALS ATTACHED TO BATTERY "WIRE. A volt meter, is -not necessary? for this operation; a momentary short cirr cult by "pliers pr single" wire"across tne terminals and across tue posts will Indicate this condition by a weak or strong? flash.. The appli cation, of vaseline - to terminals will prevent the corrosion1 which result! from acid 'fumes: Do not tamper' with regulation of 'generator;' nor the Ignition dis tributor . points, . unless "you thor oughly understand them.' - Correct charging, rates vary on different makes or generators. ( The correct amount of gap at the ignition dis tributor also varies in different makes f 5 of: hdistrlb utbrs.
