The motor car has become such a vital element of transportation, in addition to its effective and often dramatic use for offensive warfare on the battlefields of Europe, that those In charge American military policies have thought it 'wise to crystallize its in forming plans for large possibilities the national defense. It is believed by Joseph A.

It is largely that which point lias enabled the German government to wage on three fronts campaigns own borders being invaded without its successfully to any extent, and in these operations it is as yet little appreciated what a tremendous role the automobile has played. Outside of Germany, the single conclusive instance may be cited of General Joffre's swift movement of motor car at the troops hour ofby the German rush to eleventhlargely Paris, a movement that admittedly saved the day for the allies.

How much heat will the magneto stand? S. T. Overheating the magnets will demagnetize them, but the heat which reaches the magneto in your case Is hardly Injurious. If there is sufficient heat to effect the mhagnetization of the magnets, this would also affect the lubrication of the bearings of the magneto. In your case, however, there seems to be nothing serious. Thre is not. much to the magneto from heat on danger the average engine.
