Show War Is Being Waged on Many Kinds of Covers There is a determined effort on the part of experienced mechanics to discourage dis-courage the use of covers of all kinds. Most owners have come to appreciate that It is not good to cover a new tire unless such covering Is taken off after rain storms to allow the rubber to dry thoroughly. Many others are discovering discov-ering that while spring covers keep dirt out they also keep rust and dirt in, and are less than 25 per cent efficient effi-cient as lubricators of spring leaves. Now the repairers are condemning the boots that are intended to protect otherwise oth-erwise exposed universal joints. The argument is that since universals must throw gases through centrifugal action such grease accumulates inside the cover and causes it to "belly." Soon the cover is a rotation weigh! that tends to unbalance the propeller shaft. |
