The Sentinel— ! am a model-4‘ 1your paper and would be lost Without it, I read your answers on motor troubles. I have a Maxwell special 1912. My trouble to solve-is this: When 1- have the foot brake working right, the clutch and brake being on the same pedal and one person sitting in the back seat, it works tine. When ll get a load in’the back seat tbe'Ibot brake binds and l have trouble shitting the levers. I have had good men working on it and cannot find the trouble. I will look in the next issue of the pap- er for what you thinktis the trouble and try it.—READER. The trouble should be located by ex- amining the brake mechanism when the car is loaded. Perhaps you have shortened too much the brake rod run- ning Irom pedal back. [lengthen this rod and make necessary adjustments on the two short rods further back. This will also permit more throw to clutch pedal and sheet a better clutch release action.

There should be no necessity for putting alcohol into your cylinders at night it youusea good grade oI all. Your piston rings and cylinders are probably worn or the ridges": stick. ing in the grooves. The alcohol in the cylinders makes any oil present so thin that you lose compression be- lI you are using alcohol to remove carbon, it is not an eillclent method.

Motoring Department, The Sentinel—— Will you please tell me throughi your columns a few things about solid tires? First. how are the tirea fixed on the rim of an electric? la the tire made separate from the rim. or is it made on to it? Is there a solid tire: made that is not made on a rim? Do solid tires come in sizes like pneu- matic tires, and will a solid tire at a wheel or rim that'a pneumatic tire will? Second. what sizes do tires come in Ior trucks? Are they made on the rim? Is there a solid truck tire made that is not made on the rimlplease give sires that solid tirea come in.— L..'M Solid tires are either built solid on a demountoble m or they are placed in position in 11 11b built on the wheel-by meant oi a special ap- pliance. In either can the rim is diI- ferent Irom one used for a pneumatic tire. so that a solid tire cannot he no- ed on a rim adapted for a pneumatic tire. While the necessary change on the wheel can be made. it is usually bad practice to empIOy solid tires on a car built for pneumatic unless the speed or the car is much reduced a!- ter making the change. as the vibra- tion becomes excessive.

Then in order to get the gears shifted. I had it necessary to slow down to almost a dead stop and throw the gear into low. 2nd. and than high. When I try to shift from high to low, the gears will not mesh unless the car is practically stopped. Carr Back filing in carburetor cannoti very well be prevented. OI course. the intake valves should be properlyi ground. but even so, back tiring will result at times. In the event of the carburetor taking tire it is most ad~ visable to crank the motor imcdiat- sly and get the engine running. By doing this the -_iia1ne will be drawn back into the carburetor and mani- fold. allowing the surplus gasoleno on bu‘rn. If this is not done the flame will in short order melt the solder- ing connections and permit a flow oI gas, in which case it~ is hardly pos- sible to. control it.
