SKASONAL CHARGING RATES
FOR GENERATORS
(Part 1.)
(Hy RAY JieVAMA RA )
Who iuw motored ' farther
than any man in the world.
In visiting a niimber of auto
mobile distributors la the valley
districts of California'and Arizona
the past .two .months, a matter
which is of very great, importance
to all automobile 'owners came to
my attention. j . ,
The point in question refers to
proper charging rates for the gen
erator. While this subject has
been covered! on several occasions
by the-writer, it Is considered ad
visable' to- cover the most, impor
tant points at this time in view
of -the harmful results develop
ing due to lack of familiarity on
the part of owners, and ignorance
or -perhaps too negligence on the
part of repair or service men to
whom the car owners look for ad
vice. .,
The present - day generator
which Is the most important part
of your electrical apparatus, will
function properly for at least 10,
000 miles, very often 20,000 miles,
without repairs or overhauling
when cared for I properly.
Giving tho generator proper
care means a little more than an
occasional oiling. The most im
portant point to form an acquain
tance with is what is the correct
charging,, rate for the generator, '

to the particular kind oX work or
use you put your car to.
Let ius assume that Drown and
Smith! are both operating some
well-known six cylinder car mod
els. Brown lives in a very moun
tainous section of Arkansas, where
the roads are bad and has a very
limited area to tour in. and half
the time cannot reach a speed
where his generator reaches Its
maximum charging rate. Now in
Brown's" case, he is very liable to
erperience trouble with his bat
tery running down unless he has
the charging rate set up and even
then with his limited' touring rad
ius, he may not do enough! driv
ing to keep his battery up. et 13
an even chance that his home
town parking - laws require lights
on at dusk and as a rule on cars
operated in sections having poor
or slow roads the motors are stop
ped and started more frequently,
thus adding more work to an al
ready under-charged battery. .
Another thought which-come3
to. me ) in connection with Brown's
case is, this. Suppose that Brown
or the service-man who he de
pends upon, is aware of this fact
and has the generator charging
rate set-up to meet his -unusual
service condition. Very good, so
long as 'Brown stays in his home
town, but let us assume that the
wanderlust strikes Brown, and he
takes a notion to make a long tour
across" the prairies of the west.
A new and changed condition for
his battery and generator devel
ops right away. At touring
speeds perhaps, his generator out-
