APPLIANCES THAT HELPmE FORDSON DEALERMAKESALES
The Vnrtltntx Tractor is now ex¬ tensively use<l and will increase in favor as its ability is better under- stowl. Thc Tac9 fniickstbp Aiitomntic Hitch for use with it is a tirne saving fltivice. This hitch prevents the plow breaking in stony soil by throw¬ ing up the clutch and stopping the tractor when an obstacle is encoun¬ tered. That part of thc hitch which fastens to the clutch pedal alsfi forms a clutch lock, which can be used for holding out the clutch when doing belt work.
This clutch lock is also furnished as a Separate appliance, and is a prac¬ tical necessity. It permits the oper- :iU>r to stop thc belt ptilley without stopping the motor of the tractor. It also takes thc place of keeping; an operator on the machine with his foot on the clutch pedal to hold out the clutch when it is desired to stop the belt pulley for any Ic^pth of time. New Belt Qnldm
The function of the Taco Belt Guide is to plrevent the belt dragging on the axle, which causes consider¬ able friction and the loss of horse power. Thc Taco fielt Roller con- si.lts of a roller of ample diameter and light weight made of Shelby seamless steel tubing, with thc head pressed in¬ to cither end. The ends protrude be¬ yond the roller to form flanges |to guide the belt, which flanges are set at an angle of forty-five degrees to prevent injury to the belt.
The roller is mounted on ball bear¬ ings similar to those used on the front wheel of the Ford touring car and provided with felt rings to keep the dust out and the grease in. The frame for this roller is a semi-steel casting provided with suitable lugs to engage over thc front axle in such a manner as to prevent any side slip of the mechanism, A set screw is provided to enable leveling of the rol¬ ler should one wheel stand higher than the other. This Belt Roller or Guide should find a place on any Fordson tractor, because thc Fordson is built to last a long time, and there js no economy in wearing out three or four cheap rollers during thc life of the tractor.
The present combination wood and steel demountable wheels that arc used .ou tbe Ford cars as factory equip¬ ment have many advantages over the old wood felloe type, and dealers should be in a position to explain this construction to their prospective customers.
Featnrea of Construction Essentially, the distinguishing fea¬ ture of the steel felloe wheel is the elimination of the wood felloe and the steel felloe band of the standard artillery type wheel. From the sub¬ stitution of the metal felloe several distinct advantages immediately re¬ sult. Of primary importance in re¬ spect to material resources is thc fact tliat only half as much wood supply per wheel is necessary; the difficult and wasteful wood bending operation is obviated, the entire tree can be cut into spoke billets of a uniform size. From the standpoint of serviceability, thc combination type of wheel is su¬ perior, because of the emploj'ment of the one-piece felloe, and also because of the permanence of the metal stnic- ture. Shrinkage in wood, which is never avoidable, occurs in a plane transverse to theaxis, that is to say, across the grain, and also in a plane of least resist ence to compression. The, prime difficulty in the old style of construction was to make a true felloe and one which would not work loose at the point of least area, which was 'at the spoke ends. This diffi¬ culty is entirely eliminated in the use of the rigid and naturally perfect metal felloe.
Made 600>0M Seta
The Hayes Wheel Co., of Jackson, Michigan, who have made over 600,000 set's of this type of wheel for light cars, are now going to merchan¬ dise this type of wheel to the general public in addition to making it as fac¬ tory equipment.
The characteristics of the^ wheel manufactured by this company include the design and method of assembly. Thc spokes are fitted together at the hub with a straight mitre, which af¬ fords positive jbining of the butts when the wheel has been set Up. The tenon at the outer end is similar to that of the conventional type of wheel, save for a Urge fillet This increases tht projected bearing area ou tbc end of the spoke, and at the same time increases the resistence of the tenon to shearing strains. Procesa of Assembly
In the process of assembly the spokes are laid in place, the tenons being entered into sockets in the fel¬ loe and the butts forced into the plane of the wheel. The felloe is then hot'Shnink into place, in exactly the same manner that a wagon wheel is - ^ '^his has the effect of tightening:
jthe felloe nn Um «nd of the spcAts^ . seating the fillets on the tenons in j the corresponding thimbles in the fel- lloe and al* forcing thc spokes onto their mitre scats. The finished wheel Us thus built under permanent radical compression, in the sense in which it is loaded in normal use.
No Strain—Alwiiri TIabt
With this tjrpe of construction the wheel is bound to remain tight, since the wood is loaded axially with re¬ spect to the grain, and therefore is nf)t subject to appreciable shrinkage, while the felloe, being hot-shrunk, is left in a natural state of tension. Thc pressing of the thimbles or sockets radically outward in the felloe is a special feature, aflPording a liberal bearing for the spoke ends and a tapen fit over the fillet on the tenons. Pelkte and Rim Featoreit
Thc felloe and rim attachment fea¬ tures arc unique. Thc felloe is a double-flanged channel section with a lip turned outward on the inside and inward on the outside, to form the usual tapered seat for the rim. This formation renders the wheel uniform in appearance on both sides, and af¬ fords a metal seat for the bolts, which pass through the channel from side to side.
The rim lugs are attached perman¬ ently to the rim, and bolts are thereby given a straight pull in seating the rim on the inrollcd beads, on which it rides, instead of a lever action, such as is employed where the lug is built in the form of a "dog."
Anotlier feature is the employment of nuts having conical extensions, whereby they are seated in corres¬ ponding conical holes in the lugs, when drawn up. This construction permits thc use of abundant clearance over thc bolts for ease in mounting and demounting, as well as enabling the bolts to be used as drivers. The usual driving pin is thus entirely elim¬ inated. This equipment is very much lighter in weight than the old type. In fact, the Ford size weighs about 8J4 pounds less than the older type.K Actual tests have shown that these new wheels are 25 per cent stronger than the standard form.
Development of the wheel for the Hayes Company, including the test¬ ing, perfecting of the design, and the work of actually getting them into production, has been the work of J. H. Wagonhorst, who has beCn long identified with rim and wheel con¬ struction. Mr. Wagonhorst has been working on' this type of wheel for some eighteen years, and its present success is directly due to his efforts. 1

Why Vis. and Os.? The twp abbreviations, vis. and os., are seen and used dally, yet it Is doubtful If many know their or^rln. Vis. Is from the flrst two letters of videlect; a Latin word meaning "namely." The s is a corruption of an ancient slRn, something like a 3, tbat was placed nt the end of an ab¬ breviated word. In course of time the 3 bas become a z. Tlie same applies to OS., the abbreviation for ounce.

This is not practical in ordinaiy cases, and. though we shoal4 prefer a fresh water bath, a substi¬ tute has to be employed. There are' fteverni systems by which this is ac¬ complished. First n strainer is used to remove large particles snch as grit Then It Is necessary to sterlitee the water. This can be done In several ways, either by exposure to the open air or by subjecting the water to the effects of ozone, and finally by the use of ultraviolet light But It Is essential that the water should alao bo filtered.—Popular Science Monthly.
