tion in the cj Under;., the former caus
ed by leaking cf alvcs or piston rings and tho latter by the former causes or

ons, now bearing and shims mounted
with other bearings on crankshaft that are old, worn or have shims removed,

10 Wind rc?lstaco is measured by
the square of tho speed at which the car la traveling. If a car is going at
the rate of twenty miles per hour, its wind resistance Mill be four times as great as a ten mile an hour speed will have. At forty miles an hour the wind
resistance will be sixteen tiroes as
great.
