The relation ol static -and dy- inamlc balance to an automobile i engine Is explained by Earl Smith, f hler inspector . of V .Olds .; Motor r j works. . f :US:J-Ji, -i b j : "Static balance refers to that ilmlance of a circular dic or shaft when it is not in motion," he iex i plains. A good .example of lack ' of static balance fs the irdinary i automobile wheel. . :This lack! of i balance Is due to . the weight of ithe valve stem, which causes that part, of the wheel to turn Jo the i bottom whejr the wheel is raise off the ground. Incidentally. ; Oldsmobjile has overcome this fae- j tor by balancing all wheels with a S counterweight placed opposite ihe valve stem. While.thia : wheel ! balance may appear to be a negli : gible factor to the layman. Olds mobile engineers have definitely j proven that it adds materiall to ! smooth road performance at high .speeas.-. ,s-,.v i -dynamic balance refers to the I balance of a shaft when it Is in i metion. ' A crankshaft may be t.' sutically balanced but out of Ijal , due to an extra-weight on the ; ance dynamically. . The lack of dynamic balance in the shaft may i be due to an extra .weight on he right side .at one end and a cor responding-weight on the left side , at the tther end.
