VALVE MICE ; METHODS EXPOSED In making vnlvc clearance adjustments drivers are often deceived into thinking tliat they have set the clearances, at the minimum by reason of the tappet head having a central "crater." which has been formed by the constant hammering contact Detween tiie tappet neaa and tne vaivo stem. - It is desirable that a tannet head in this condition should have tJiia crater removed by filing or grinding awav the surrounding surface. This treatment is advisable not only to enable clearances for the reason that in the case of & well- worn engine of which the vnlve .guides have become oval, the valve may occa sionally be held off its seat when it has lengthened owing to high engine, temper atures, because of the tappet head. Wiicn this happens usually at high en- gino speeds the loss ; of compression occurring may not De noticed by a tail ing off of engine power, but the failure of a valvo ta reach its seat firmly will certainly result in the grindiug-in pro cess becoming ncessary earlier, and more frequently thun should be the -.case. Allen '.T. Saville. director nf the Tie partment of Public Vorks, Richmond, Va., recommends in his annual report thnt the city use the back lots in the business district as sites for narking buildings. "Jjike every other city," savs the re port, "we nave a parking problem. Due to the layout of the city, there may be a solution of this for us hero that will not prove Tory expensive. Our lots are. as a rule, very deep, with an. alley run ning through the block. ,"It might prove advisable for the city to purchase land on the" rear of these lots in the heart of the block and build two or three-story garages, . which care for more cars than can be parked around the block now.. These garages could be leased out for private operation on ft fixed scale of charges and then all cars could be forced from the streets when parked."
