If vou have this khowlédge, it will hélp you a great deal in giving your car intel- ligent attention atid will also help Hyou, if the enginé is not running properly, to locaté the catise of the trouble. The illustration shows oné eylin- der of the engine as it would look if the side were cut away. This il- lustration shows the valvés ranged at the side of the cylinder. Sometimes, however, they are ar- ed on top, but no matter where are located, the principle on which the engine operates is the A _ To obtain power from the engine it is necessary to draw into the cylinders a mixture of ga ait, then compress th mixture or gas. After the mix.ure is com- pressed a spark occurs at the points of the spark plug and explodes it, his drives the piston down and causes the engine to operate.

To carry out this series of opera- tions requires four strokes. of the piston, two up and two down, and it is for this reason that this type of engine is called a “Four Stroke” engine and Operates on thé four stroke principle. The strokes aré (1) Suction Stroke. (2) Compres- sion Stroke. (3)_ Explosion or Power Stroke. (4) Exhaust Stroke. There are two valves used in each cylindér, an Intake Valve and an Exhatst Valve.

In the chassis—the pull of a plunger, a second of time, and oil is on the way to the 45 points requiring regular attention. In the motor—the oil rectifier, automatic in action, insures that every drop of oil remains pure oil. The result—long life, of parts, quietness of operation, and peace of mind for the Packard owner.
