The following answers to queries and hints are by Wiliam H. Stewart, Jr., who is president of the Stewart Automobile academy of New York city, and regarded as the leading au- thorlty on motor car education ~in this country. Querijes from local au- toists will be cheerfully answered next week if possible. Motoring Department—To settle a bet will you kindly answer this ques- tion: out the order of explosions on a six- cylinder motor, which you try for the first time? Kindly state the several ways. Thanking you in advance, T remain,— T. F. H. You can determine the order firing of the cylinders by the operation of the exhaust or intake valves. Turn the motor by hand until tHe valve of cylinder of XNo. 1 opens and then note the order | -in which the like valves operate in succession. There are three firing orders, name- 1-4-2-6-3-5 or 1-5 6-2-4 or 1-3- 2-6-4-5. Motoring Department—1. Please explain the difference between semi1 and full floating rear axle? sible, please give diagram. 2, (a) Is the contention true that in motor construction where the transmission is mounted-over the rear axle, separate from the motor, the stradn of the. twisting.frame is thrown on the separate units, their supports and connections and throws them out of alignment and continual repetition of this causes crystallization of the metals and broken parts and is not as strong a construction as the three- point suspension power plant, where motor, clutch, and transmission all in one unit? (b) What advan- tages do they claim for having trans- mission in a separate unit? 3. Does the power that is required to run a standard lighting and start- ing system on an auto lessen the Dower of the motor to any great ex- tent? 1. In a semi-floating type of axle the transverse axle shaft is usually anchored in the hub of the wheel and not only serves to transmit driving power, but also to support the weight of the car. In the full floating type of axle the transverse shaft floats within the axle housing and simply transmits the driving power of the wheel, but does not support any weight. Most any automobile instruction book has sketches setting forth the How would you proceed to find | | consideration, Again the question observing | valves | It pos- | are | here are many excellent made which use the different types of construction. The question of merit is determined by design. It would not be fair or just to criticize different methods, as all are being used with success by the different high manufacturers, Any type will not prove satisfactory if not properly de- signed and constructed. The manu- facturers making the different types set forth their claims supporting their designs and it would be best for you cars i to consult them and then draw your own conclusion. 3. The loss of power due to the attachment of the lighting and start- ing system is hardly worth taking into of design and construction enters.

The oil consumption depends to a great extent upon the design of the lubricating system. The consumption of a quart of oil for every 100 miles is not considered excessive. If there are any oil leaks, of course, a large quantity of oil will be wasted. In tine modern lubricating system the oil is used over and over and as little. as possible is permitted to reach the combustion chamber. Enough must reach the working parts for proper lubrication. Too much is not only wasteful, but causes carbonization, leaky valves, etc. s Motoring Department—The pression of my motor has fallen off since T had the valves on my car ground. How can I get the car to de- velop its full power again, and what is the cause of my present trouble?— AT, As the valves are ground to their seats they are naturally set lower. It is possible that there is not sufficient clearance at the end of the valve stems or that the upper end of the valve lifters—the push rod adjusting nuts—are worn irregularly. If the ad- justment is close at this point a slight {irregularity at these points is sufficient to partially unseat the valves. If the valves are ground and adjusted there should be no leaks at these points; it is possible that the compression leaks are elsewhere. Compression leaks through the valves may result any time. A slight piece of dislodged carbon will unseat a valve. This may happen after a motor has been thoroughly overhauled, This is especially applicable to the ex- (Continued on Tenth Page.) com- i Try a glass next time and you will quickly 34 appreciate why they are so popular.
