1. One of the causes of a disc clutch takir.p hold suddenly is because of insufficient lubricant in which the clutch turns or because the oil is too thin. -. Tli" best way to remove dust from thi polijhod surface cf a car is first to use a soft dust brush. When all the loose dust is off. wash the car. Xever wipe off the car with a rag. as this will cause the dust rarticles to scratch the paint surface. 3. Ixraking at the outlet or inlet connections of a water rump ;s commonly caused by loos packing at those connections, praw up or tichien the packing' nut and then if leaking continues, replace the packinc of (trsphited asbestos. 4. The purpose of a shock absorber is to k-'eo th sprinsr from working too fast either in deflection or in the rebound after deflection. In other worj.

Kxoessive friction between the beat expanded pis-ton nuts and the- cylind-T wall will epiiekly wear the bore and burn the ring's unless sufficient oil is soon provided. 7. Automobiles carry more passengers than the railroads in this country. 8. A ball bearing will be injured if run with one ball missing because ihe strain which the missing: member should carry is placed upon the remaining balls which quickly wears the ball race and froquenty causes the breaking of the balls. !. Tn driving a car backward or forward tbe motor always revolves in the simp direction. Hatios of speed are controlled by engaging different sized transmission 6ar" arranged on a transmission or driving shaft and a counter shaft, among which are gears which when meshed will turn the driving shaft in the reverse direction, moving the cur backwards when the clutch is engaged. 10. A water cooled cylinder should not be heated above 112 degrees, the boiling point of water. la fact, it should be kept below tho boiling point of water. In fact t should be kern below the boiling point always. At 212 or above, evaporation will occur in tlio water in the cooling system and if thi evaporation is allowed to continue the temperature of the cvlinders will rise and the working parts will very likely be injured and warped.
