Control of the speed of the car is obtained by the shifting of the members of the device. Rings That Will Not Leak. There sre several “leak proof” rings on the market. They overcome the disadvantage of the slot in the ordi- nary ring and so improve the sompres- sion to a great extent. It would be well to put one at the top of each pis- ton, but a complete set would be some- what expensive. If the rings are bad- ly worn they should certainly be re- placed. Some owners make a practice of replacing broken rings with leak- proof rings. By this means the cost is distributed over a longer time. About Gears. The planetary gear is so named be- cause the change-speed gears revolve around a center gear attached to the main shaft, the motion of the gearing resembling that of the planets around the sun. The main gear, which Is at- tached to the central shaft, Is termed the “sun” gear, while the assembly members are called “planet” gears. MOTORISTS USE INCLINES INSTEAD OF GATES in many parts of the West and Southwest where automobiles are numer- ous it is becoming common to drive one’s car over a fence instead of stopping to open a gate, drive through, and then shut it. The new and quicker methoa is made possible by the construction of inclines which make it an easy matte? to mount te the top of the barrier and then descend on the other side, The inclines are usually composed of two tracks, set the proper distance apart for automobile wheels and supported by posts. The tracks are equipped with a guard at one side, which prevents a car from running off, although accidents happen occasionally in spite of this provision. Cattle will not walk up these inclines, since ordinarily no floor is laid between the tracks.—Popular Me chanics Magazine, ee ee ie eee RELA D ELG | Why That Lame Back?
