' " An accurate 'alternating current voltmeter should therefore be 'ap plied to the filament terminals of lUef rectjfier tubes,- in order to make certain that there is no overload. Otherwise frequent tube renewals, will be necessary. I Not " only are voltage readings necessary, but a means of regula tion must be provided. The step down' transformer " supplying the filament voltage may 'be perfectly designed. In order to meet '; the voltage requirements of the tubes when, "the rurrent supply Is 111 volt 60 cycle. alternating current. Considerable variations inf 'line voltage, vtake place contantly, which nullify the "accuracy of the voltage output of such a transfor mer..; For instance, a transformer which gives 5.0 volts output at 110 volts of line supply gives an output of 5.46 volts when the line voltage Increases to 120. This In crease is sufficient to cut the life of the average tube three-fourths. ; Fluctuating Current Bad Power circuits are so designed that their voltage; usually "drops as the load increases and vice versai - ForInstance, in an Indus trial city measurement of voltage at a consumer's residence reveal ed that at half , a minute before twelve the voltage of supply, rose fxOm-9 to 120 volts, while' Just before five in the afternoon It in creased5' from 100 to 125, volts. These twide fluctuations are dis astrous to the life of vacuum, tube filaments which are supplied with current through transformers from such mains unless there is means of regulating the filament voltage. r;. t .

So important are the connecting rods In the; Cleveland mileage and standard stx motors to Cleveland; six engineers that they have seen to It that each rod is subjected to fifteen distinct operations to make certain that it is as near perfect as it is possible to get It before It goes to the motor assembly. ' Of course, after the machining o?e rations 'there are a number of things. to be checked such as the weight of each! rbd and Its align ment. ' j . j ; ; - ; It is unnecessary to dwell (indi vidually on each of the boring, machining; and testing operations in connection with the preparation of Cleveland six connecting rods because they would be too lengthy, with one exception and that is the operation which Involves the bond ing of the bearings to the connect ing , rods. t i.r. In any internal combustion . en gine it is absolutely essential that the heat which is generated in the connecting; bearing should be properly dissipated to insure the maximum In service from the con necting rod bearing. Where the connecting rod bearing fn a motor lsl separate from the rod,' an oil film usually settles between the rod and the bearing and holds the heat in the bearing. The' reverse situation: that of proper dissipa ion of heat, prevails with Cleve land six bearing construction By the use of a special machine the molten bearing metal is poured right Into the; rod which prior to this operation has been properly tinned to' insure a perfect bond with the bearing metal. In follow ing out this practice of making the bearing I virtually a part of the connecting rod, Cleveland engin eers insured! themselves of , the fact that any heat, which by, chance is generated In the bearing is dissipated through the rod, Ieav-1 Ing the bearing properly cooled at all times. ! i ', : Furthermore, with the force feed lubrication in both the Cleve land six motors, metal to metal contact with i the crakshaf t '- -? and connecting rod bearing is elimin ated by a tllm of oil under press ure, consequently heat at the con-;5 necting bearing point : caused by. friction is reduced to a minfiUlfffl. ten:thirty It lis up. to 120 .volts Consequently there is no pdssibiU ity of tube ; economy with a cur rent tap device,, unless-there la'an kecurate j voltmeter and a -spe cially designed step down trans former, witharious steps, so that these ' wide variations in supply voltage may be compensated,; for.. This precaution often neglected in articles describing how to make current . taps, and .many oty the commercial devices are not sup plied with; this desirable feature. SErlPUCITY ' Just as a radio set with a dozen, controls is confusing and difficult to operate, so is an automobile' with controls scattered all over the driv er's compartment. , t Modern car building tends to grouping all instruments under one glass, protected and readable at one glance. Choke and ignition alone are left by themselves in one, definite pot. I"'' Cowl ventilators open with the foot, on Studebaker cars, for ex ample. Fewer levers, switches and cnobs to operate mean easier driving. "Bill" rhone ii "wwnwi j.
