A BATTERY built by WESTINGHOUSE! Westinghouse represents some of the most successful manufacturing achievements in the country. Westinghouse Air Brakes and other devices for safety in transportation are world-noteWestinghouse superiority is everywhere recognized. The battery permitted to bear the name Westinghouse must be more than just a good battery. It must excel! It does! in vigor, resourcefulness, long life, dependability. It is engineered by minds long trained and built by hands especially skilled in battery construction. th As to the cars performance, a brief experience will reveal its superiority far more convincingly than we could tell it d. 2.

A large proportion universal Joint buthinge of "burnt-ou- t are due to the grease leaking out of the housing end the operator not giving attention to thle quickly enough. We may have leakage of five fluids, namely, the grease or heavy oil from the transmission, universal or differential; oil from the engine; water from the cooling yetem; gasoline or mixture In the cylinders. The latter has been gone Into rather carefully under "loss of compression," and wlU not be taken up In this talk. As to the leakage of tho greaso or oil This wlU genfrom the transmission. erally be at one of two points; the front tn which case of main the shaft, bearing It will get Into the clutch housing, or at main rear shaft. the bearing of the To take care of this leakage, felt washers are furnished. When the washer on the front becomes worn It muet be replaced, and to do this It usually Is necessary to remove the entire transmission. As a rule, the felt at the rear Is tapered, and a tapered washer presses against It In such a way that when the washer Is forced In It will spread the felt end so bring It closer to the shaft. This will stop the leakage. In back of the taper washer Is a large nut, usually of the castellated type. By screwing this nut In ,the leakage will generally be stopped. If this fails to atop the leakage, a new felt must be Installed. The nut referred to above la shown In Figure 1, lettered A. B Is a locking device to keep It from turning, and must be yerxipyed ,bfor,lhe Tnnt can be 'turned. Sometimes there will be leakage at the bottom or Jack Bhaft bearings of the To prevent this, a flange, transmission. ee C, Fig. 1, is furnished. To prevent leakage here, thla flange and a gasket (washer) of paper (blotting paper la excellent) then made. The paper Is then given a coating of shellac on both sides and tha flange replaced. Leakage at the universal Is usually due to the packing of the ehutter (1, Fig. I, becoming worn. To take up for this wear. It la only nocesaary to tighten the aleeve nut (E). The small screw (F muet first be loosened, however, es this Is a clamping screw to prevent the not turning. At tho differential the grease will sometimes leak out, at the front of the pln'on housing, where a felt washer Is furnished to prevent It. The remedy le to replace the felt, to do which the Urge forward nut Is nutcrewed, end then the flat. waaher-llk- e Internal nut. On this last nut the felt, which la usually split, will ba found. Thera la also often leakage at the differential housing cover. The grease I prevented fro mleaklng here by means of a paper gasket, which can easily be When this cover la replaced, but little pressure must be exerted on the wrench when the (bolts) are tightened or the threads in the housing, which is very thin, will be stripped. lhls will cause leakage through tho holes. If only one. or two which ere well separated, are stripped, probably the beat way to pravent this leakage Is to remove the entirely and drive a cork Into the hole. An annoying and ev4n dangerous leakage Is that of the grease or oil of the differential along the shaft and Into (he brake drum. On the hub of the wheel there la a felt to atop thla. but even It will not always atop tha laakage. Ford cars are very frequently subjected to thla trouble, and It often Is Impossible to stop it by the standard equipment. Special patented felts can ba purchased, which will help much, or the outer roller and waste bearings can be removed packed around tha shaft so aa to coma In back of the bearing. Leakage of the engine oil ta most often at the crankshaft, where It comes out of the front of the timing gear housing Here, too, a felt Is used, which must be replaced. It generally Is necessary to remove the housing to do this. There will also often be leakage at the Joint between the housing and engine crankcase. This will mean a new paper gasket. As the valve push rods and their guides become worn, the push rods will carry oh up through the guide, which will then escape through (ha valve cover. Very often this can be remedied by making a gasket of heavy blotting paper for the cover and filing a little groove under the guide so as to let the oil run back into the crankcase. Water leakage is usually either at the hose or along the pump shaft. If the hoae leaks, the leakage can often b stopped by loosening the binding clamp, giving it a half turn and rettghtenlng Of course, U the leakage Is due to the hosa being rotted.; It must be replaced. This la easily done and inexpensive. On most cars, leakage will begin at the pump shafts about every 20v0 miles, bat this can be corrected by simply the runs about half a lum. When the nut has been screwed up es far as It will go, it must be completely unscrewed and some lamp wick (which looks like white cord, and can be purchased at a plumbers supply store, In case the accessory dealer does not have it) must be wrapped around the shaft and the nut replaced. Enough lamp wick should be used to prevent the leakage when the nut Is screwed on about half way. Thle will allow for taking up the wear, by giving the nut a alight turn now and then. Gasoline leakage Is rare, and when not due to joints opening, le most often due to the union nuts working back If tightening does not remedy the leakage It can probably be best stopped by the nut and then cutting off about to of an Inch of the tubing The new end of the can then be tubing enlarged by turning GENUINE j, , ' X leakage of grease le not only annoy- -' t the greaw I trig, but It Indicates-tha- one-eigh- tn -- jy .

Few motor truck operators appreciate to the full the vital necessity of proper load distribution on tho platform of the truck. All portions of tho truck chassis are designed to carry a certain definite load, centered at a certain point In tho frame,. If the center of the weight load la at a different point, then naturally the chaaaie la not going to receive the property balanced etrees It waa designed to of trucks Most operators withstand. know that tho weight should center In tlie middle of the body, but they do not know bow to distribute their loada to disgain thle end..

It Is advisable to change tha oil entirely at Intervals, because the fluid loses frequent Its lubricating qualities by abpart of sorbing the dust and metal particles from tha working parts which form a sort of abrasive compound, promoting excessive year. In thla operation tha cylinder and pump should be flushed out with kerosene after the old oH has been 'drained out.
