AUTO SPRINGS IEMAND CARE Riding Comfort and Long Life Both Assured by Proper | Care of Springs | Comfort is an important consider: | ation for passengers in a car. At the same’ time freedom from shock and vibration is equally important. The} vital element in protecting the mach- anism is the spring. The tires take car of the small roughness of the road automatically. The more severe shocks should be absorbed by the prings. There are several types of springs ] uuse, named from their shape. full elliptic has the gene: outline of an ellipse. ‘ The three-quarter elliptic and the} semi-elliptic explain themselves, The platform type is an arrangement of three semi-elliptics supporting the rear end. The cantilever is a form of curved spring fastened to the rear arle and the frame with the curveed side down. The push of the rear wheels is transmitted in this and some of the other types through the springs. All of these are of the flat leaf type, a number of leaves being fastened together to give the propeer strength. These leaves work back and forth over each other as the frame moves. up and down. There is a great deal of pressure between the leaves, par- ticularly at the ends, and sothey must be lubricated. If this is not attend- ed to the car will not ride as easily and the springs will squeak. Thee most thorough method of lu- brication is to remove thee spring completely-and to take it apart. JaJck up the frame to take the weight off the spring, remove the bolts holding it in place, drive the pins out of the shackles at each end and lay the spring on the bench. Remove the bolts holding the spring leaves to- gether. % To prevent the leaves from flying apart hold them by means of a “C’” clampor put the spring in a vise. Af- ter the bolt is reemoved release ethe leaves gradually. If they are slightly rusty they may be touched up with emery cloth, but if they are badly rusted the rust must be removed with a file. Use graphite grease as a lub- ricant. Oil will run off and squeeze out whereas the graphite grease fills; up the minute pits in the steel and feeds it out as needed. Graphite tends ing akyr cJosc rl-tilachowu ecortt,eec eeeece etaoin shrdlu cmfwyppunuppn to smooth over the rough surfaces by filling the pits with a solid lubri- cant. Cover both sides of each leaf with grease. Then run a rod through |. the holes in the laaves and rdaw them together wit ha “C” clamp or vise. If the holes are not lined up, bp means of a piece of meta! passing thruogh them it will be impossible to replace the bolt. Secure the bolt firmly and | tage of stopping any squeaks which method of lubrication has the advan- replace the spring on the car. This may tend to develop at the center where the bolt holds ‘the spring to-| gether, F A quicker method* but one that is not so thorough is to pry the leaves | apart. After cleaning with a_ stiff brush you should jack up the frame o fthe car so as to releave the pres- | sure on the springs and then pry them apart by means of a screw driv-| er or cold-chisel. Graphite grease | may then be inserted with a knife. Oil should be injected into the parts not} reached by the grease. There is | tool on the market which may be} used to spread the leaves of the} spring without jacking up the frame. It serves its purpose very well. | A ttill quicker method is to use| kerogene to catry oil in between the leaves. Pour kerosene on the top | leaf, guiding it. down the sidey with | the fingers. It runs in between the leaves, cutting the rust which would | repel the lubricant. Then pour: oil) on the sides of the springs same | way, guiding it down. with the fingers. | The kerosene thins it and it is frawn | in between the leaves of the springs} as they move. + To hasten this, shake the car, | cither by standing on the running} bourd op on the spring hangers at! the ends. lybrication, but it must be repeated | more frequently than the others.

SEATTLE, Oct. 18—An Ameri- | can explorer, Harold Noice, formerly | a member of Vilhjalmur Stefansson’s | party, is working his way eastward on foot along the route of the northwest passage on the northern rim of the continent. according to word receiv- ed here. He expects to reach the Hudson Bay county and civilization some time next summer. Storker storkerson, formerly se- cond in command of the Stefansson party, -who~ w«urrived --here’ re- cently from the far north, said that Noice, accompained only by Eskimos: mapping portions of the coast lines as he goes. A stretch of the coast line of Victoria | Land,’ heretofore unmapped, is being charted by Noice. Noice may visit the interior of Victoria Land, which, according to all reports: has never been explored by white.men. All explorers: traders and trappers who have touched Vic- toria Land have only journeyed along its shores. Stefansson found the tribe of “blond Eskimos” in the Victoria Land country. Noice has no ship and but few sup- plies: He depends almost entirely upon his gun for his living. Stefans- son, his former chief, who is noted among explorers as being able to live off the barren white lands of thethe post here more north, probably taught Noice how toprobable that a plan, whereby a mem. get about without carrying many sup-ber of the Army and Navy club will | plies.
