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.
