HILL CLIMBS * MADE EASIER BY PRACTICE * (Continued from Page 25) | member when climbing a hill—first, to change into intermediate, or first speed, early and quickly, dropping the clutch back instantly; second, retarding the spark without wait- ing for the engine to knock. | Now this speed changing on hills | ~ is extremely easy to do—on a type- writer. In a machine it is difficult | until one gets the knack. Hence ll climbing is an art. Once this, s-vart is mastered there is nothing to it. What might be a successful climb “ean be spoiled by a clumsy change of gears. Every second of time is z=very important if the grade is steep, and the car is losing headway. If you wish to be an expert in hill climbing you must practice. The high-gear hill climber is first cousin to the scorcher, and both are bound to become wiser as time goes. on. These statements are made with the full understanding that the} ‘modern automobile is made to; cmb almost anything but trees. !
