The condensa and therefore Sentree keeps the water at a more even temperature 4 inoreases the efficiency of the engine. Frequent refilling of the radiator is unnecessary because of the fact that the vapors which ordinarily pase off thru the overflow pipe are imprisoned thru a closing of the overflow pipe and are tnatead con- Gensed and turned back into the cooling system, the Inventor claims. This feature results tn conserving antifreeze liquids and also results tm conserving heat In cold weather which otherwise would be syphoned off thru the overflow pipe. | A reference to the accompanying illustration will show how condensa- tion takes place and how the warn- ing signals are brought tnto play ‘The vapors arising from the water! cooling system pass thru the ports at A and circulate in the) chamber B, where they are cooled) by contact with the outer surface! which in turn ts kept cool by the rush of alr created by the car in motion A cooling of them to return and this liquid the vapors causes to the liquid state runa back into he cooling system, Should there be en- gine trouble, causing overheating, the increased preasure will raise the piston C, which i» extremely sensi tive, and will consequently raise the cap and expose the red surface D More heat and more pressure will send the piston a little higher and the compressed alr or vapors will rush thru the opening E and tion of vapors & a cooling process | OAKLAND UNDER S |for time between Milwaukee and St. | 1 |biie—a five-passenger Oukland The recently-built McKale service station, Eighth ave. and Union st., is claimed as one of the finest and most complete on the Improved Motometer Reaches Local Mart SPEEDWAY FANS ARE SATISFIED Game Is Clean Under A.
