CLOUGH : Lditor Motor Service Bureau Review' of Reviewd Rear Curtain Lights THESE ARE AMONG the first parts of an open ear to become shabby and give out. As originally congeived, the top was supposed to be put up and down frequently, with inclement and pleasant weather ch es, but nowadays the ops of most cars are kept up all the time, agen: there is little oceasion for rolling up the rear curtain. the necessity for the rear lights being made of flexible, transparent cel- lulotd and permits the use of plate glass lights, whiéh are durable, Permanently transparent and capable of more secure fastening into the curtain fabric. From the standpoint of appearance as well as freedom from bothersome repairs, many users of open cars are finding it advis- able to replace their rear lights with lights of glass, as 800h as the , cracked or detached from the fabric and attractive glass Iights are obtainable to refill the curtain holes of most popular cars, the installation of which can be performed by the Owner. Wnere the window Spaces are very large--beyond the size in which glass can be used to advantage--Iit sometimes pays to obtaln a whole new curtain fitted with glass lights. In order to prevent the premature injury of celluloid rear. lights, the rear top straps must bs kept tight enough to prevent tension on the curtain, as otherwise the celluloid will be broken or the stitching pulled out.

Standardization service policies are dealt with in a recent article by Samuel Hopkins Adams, in Leslie's Weekly. "Where the 1922 purchas- ing public is going to profit chiefly is not by buying cheaper," says Mr. Adams, "but in increased utility at lowered expenses." "Service," he adds, "is the trade word, a term often abuséd to the point of parody. But the new form of service, as projected, is so per- fected and systematized as to com- prise perhaps the most important development that the industry has known for years. "That the initial cost of a car is not the principal item Js a lesson which has been hammered at the public in a series of highly effective started by advertising and precept is to be broadened to a scale which will enlighten the entire motoring public as to the wastefulness, in- efficiency, and trickery in the repair business. "The new service plan, upon which, with various minor divergen- cles of detail, I understand many ooncerns are working--will at once eliminate uncertainty and the op- portunity for the comscienceless deal- er to make an unfair profit, "To make the service station cheaper, quicker and more efficient' than the outside garage is the first alm of the new system. The factory will back up the Improved standards by a new policy of its own, which is almost revolutionary, expressed in the slogan 'Service First; Let the New Customer Wait.' That Is to say, satisfaction on sales already made. takes precedence over new - sales, All of which looks to the long- distance policy of cheapening opera tion and thereby making it possible for more people to own and operate cars. H. 0. D. asks: tensifiers injurious to the batteries | or coil of a car or to the magneto? Answer: No. Their use can have no possible effect upon the battery. Some people think that, owing to the slight increase in the total spark-gap, which the use of an in- tensifier brings about, there is a dangerous increase in the second- ary voltage at the coil, which may lead to the breakdown of its ingu- lation, but there is nothing in this idea, for the following reason: All spark coils are sufficiently safe- guarded as to successfully with- stand the great increase in sec- ondary voltage occasioned by the complete interruption of the spark- ing . circuit, which 'comes about when a plug cablesend becomes disconnected from its plug, for if they were not, the coil would be broken down the first time that this The Point to Consider When Buying a Used Car Whatever you buy, whether it be clothes, furniture or household necessities, you buy on good faith. Faith that the manufacturer has made a good product--faith that the concern that supplies you will stand squarely behind it. When you buy a used car from a McLaughlin Buick dealer, you can do so with absolute confidence, For the McLaughlin Motor Car Co., Limited, insists that McLaughlin-Buick dealers must typify and reflect McLaughlin-Buick stand- ards; that they must be men of strict integrity, of financial i --men who will live up to every promise made to a c summating the sale of a car.

Also, while coasting, with clutch disengaged, I cannot get into high Bear without.a pronounced clash- Ing. At the service station they thought the clutch was dragging. Can this trouble be due to faulty lubrication of the clutch shaft bearing? Answer: It seems likely that, if the clutch were dragging noticeably, you would have more serious trou- ble in ¢ ng from first to da speed than in getting inte high, but still, it may be that there is drag- ging. Lack of clutch-shaft lubri- cation would cause the gears to spin, just as would incomplete dis- engagement of the clutch discs and there is also the Possibility that your clutch-brake is not working as positively as it should, but often- times, failure to readily A safety | high negligible compared | dise wears, as otherwise there would be no occasion of re-meshing them.
