Motor Department. The « isentinel:
I have a six-cylinder car that i have
run four years, and it has been sails
factory, except in the lighting system
In running at night it blows out the
'i'use when I change to second or first,
does all right when running in high.
I have had it in your city for adjust-
ment, but the parties tailed to and the
to you.
Thanking you in advance for any in-
!ormation you may give E. B
~ ‘ There must be a short circuit on
Jim line which is eii'ective when you
shift gears. Perhaps a loose strand of
wire at one of the terminals or the in-
sulation is worn, and the added vibra-
tion causes the short circuit to take
place. Would suggest a. careful in-
spection of all the wires and arrange
in in such a manner to avoid chaf-
g. It should not be a didicult mat-
ter to trace the source of trouble.

carbon taken out of the cyunders and;
it seems a little better. Hesse give

Motor Sumac, The Sentinel:
Please settle an ornament as to the
comaoiame of 1the coil used with:

 

 

ssyssn.

spark coil. some on induction coil and
others a transformer eoil. -Which is
“sit? ”seamen

They are all correct. but the name
most trequeutly used is inductioucoii.
This is because the battery currents:
low mags induces another current
'ot high voltage. As this transforms

the voltage it is properly called a
'transformer coil or a step-up trans-
former The name “spark coil" we;
formerly courted to a single wound

cell used with the make and hroaki'

system of ignition. but is now applied
to any coil which will give snark]
