Laboratory than another? What happens in th* water pump on Wheels in Coquille A fleet of laboratories on wheels that bring to local automobile me­ chanics and motor fleet operator* graphically^ demonstrated answers to many of their lubriation problems, is one of the latest contribution* of the Standard Oil Company of California to the scientific lubrication of modern, high-speed automotive equipment. On* of these moving laboratories is visiting Coquille this week, and auto­ mobile men who have seen it are com­ menting upon the clarity of it* dem­ onstrations. What happens inside the engine when the oil pressure gauge show* a .. decided 'drop ? Why does one oil form more carbon when a water-proof grease or other type of grease is used? These and numerous other questions of interest to the automotive trade 1 are answered by demonstrations with Specially constructed equipment, with ' permits the observer to see the actual 1 working of the bearings and the ef­ fect* caused by the use of different .ypes of lubricant*. Cutaway models, specially con­ structed testing equipment, apparatus that shows the actibn of oil under heat and pressure conditwns found in th* actual operation of automobiles and -rucks, and a variety of other scienti- .ic instruments, are incorporated in .hi* modern touring laboratory. With the introduction of numerous new mechanical devices, such as Free- Wheeling, Hypoid Geans, Synchro­ Mesh, etc., and with the decided in­ crease in speeds, temperatures and* pressure* at which bearing* in mod­ ern automotive equipment operate, many special oris and grease* ar* now required where one or two all-purpose lubricants formerly served. These comprehensive but compact laboratories clearly demonstrate how these various lubricants meet the re­ quirements for which they are devel­ oped. They bring to those interested in the operation of automobiles, truck* and tractors, in visual form, the ex­ perience of nearly a half century of research in th* lubrication by eci- entiats of the Standard Oil Company of California, who, with almost un- | limited facilities, are constantly de- | veloping bettek lubricants, better methods of refining, and better way* I >f meeting the many lubrication prob­ lems created by change* and improve­ ments in modern automotive equip- | ment.
