CLOUOH Editor Motor Sarvtea Bureau Pevkn of Qavieuh Copyright 1919, 6y Te International jpyalicufe r The Small Cax And High Speed . For High Speed Driving Vte A High Speed C yERT FAST DRIVING is always excessively (expensive as compared with driving at moderate speeds. If a person habitually works himself to the limit or In other ways ''livefc fast", his health and longevity are thereby sacrificed and It Is the tame with a motor oar. It is credibly stated that the tires on a car, driven at an average of fifteen miles per hour, give twice the mileage of those om a ear driven at thirty f miles per hour average speed. Overcoming the (extreme air and road resistances and the high internal engine losses (Incident to very high . speed, makes excessive inroads upon fuel and oil slipplles. The increased expense for repairs Is, however, the heaviest penalty) Imposed for Indulgence In exorbitant speed, not only because the rate of wear and the risk of breakage become unduly high, but because the liability of accident is enormously increased. There are many large, powerful oars, driven by engines of very perfect "balance and fitted with Running gears 'of great stability, that can be driven as fast as even an extreme speed devotee cares to drive, without any lack of controllibillty j signs of distress upon the part of the power plant Such cars are designed for high speed operation and, while the law of the costliness ofi high speed inevitably applies to them, operating them very fast is not unreasonably injudicious. . Indeed, the possible speed of such cars Is so high that they ere seldom driven nearly to the limit of their capacity. There are, on the other hand, a vast number of small cars, with four cylinder engines of rather crude balance, geared very low and with small wheels and running gears of only moderate stability. Such cars when driven at two-thirds the speed at which . a big car can perform with ease, are operating at nearly their utmost speed. Controllability is usually far from being absolute, if indeed it is adequate for safe operation and the engine Bhows distress by the most noticeable and disagreeable vibration. Such a car is not Intended for high speed use , and will prove extremely costly to maintain if used in this way. No piece of machinery operated at its limit of performance long proves satisfactory. If one must drive furiously one should use a big car, having surplus speed capacity, and not gush a little car to early destruction. CLUTCH DISCS STUCK IN ENGAGEMENT G. W. D. writes: I have just been trying' to put my car into service, after keeping it laid up during the winter, but find that the clutch will not throw out although I push as hard upon the pedal as I dare to. What shall I do? Answer: We -tmagine that your clutch must be of the disc type and , that the plates have remained pressed together so long that their surfaces have adhered rather strong ly. If this Is a lubricated metal disc clutch, kerosene squirted In among the discs will probably free them, but if the discs are asbestos faced and intended to operate dry, this treatment would be inadvisable. You might jack up a rear wheel, throw the gears into high, start the engine, push on the clutch pedal strongly and gently apply the foot brake. This ought to cause the discs to separate. If you can get at them, you might try prying them apart with a broad screwdriver, while someone pushes on the clutch pedal. Next time, you lay up your car, you better leave the clutch disengaged by fitting a stick, cut to the correct length, between the pedal and the heel board, and thus avoid a repetition of this trouble. COAL OIL FOR CARBON J. P. asks: (1) Is coal oil good to use to clean out an engine? (2) Is a cut out of any; benefit and in what way? Answer: (1 It used to be thought valuable for removing carbon, but is little used now. However it has some effect, if used frequently and It does keep the piston rings from gumming In their grooves. You will get better results by using some well known brand of carbon remover, fol lowing directions carefully. Even water, drawn through the carburetor air-intake, tends to loosen carbon. (2) Some people consider a output useful in detecting cylinders that miss fire for, when it 1s open, each explosion can tie heard distinctly and a "miss" is readily apparent to the car. Unless a car has a badly clogged or altogether , too small a muffler, opening the cut out will not afford appreciably Increased power, al though motorists often imagine that it does. . Manufacturers no -longer put on cut outs, their use is contrary to law In many places and is an an noyance to the public, which no con siderate driver should be guilty of creating.
