Dirt in Motorcars
Causes Rust and Wear
Dirt Is undesirable no (natter
whero It Is, but the averago auto
mobile owner hns jet to Icaru that
dirt' on the running gear docs more
than merely cover up some painted
.or unpnlnted metal. Joints seeming
ly as tight as a mechanic can get
thcni allow dirt to pass through.
The reason for the dirt being so un
desirable near working parts of the
chassis Is not so much because It
doesn't look well, but becauso It
eventually gets to a moving surface
and starts rapid wear. If you own a
watch with n screw back on It and
j ou keep that wntch in one of your
pockets where odd things nrp put
occasionally, just remove that screw
back and notlco the dirt that has
worked its way in.
INTERNAL GEAR DRIVE
Republican. Trucks Show Clever
Method of Power Transmission
Kcmiblic trucks arc of the ltemililin.
Torbcnson internal lear-driven type
with extra large nickel steel gears
carr.ving the entile load, on drop forged
I-beam with the power transmitted
through live shafts and internal gears.
An advantage claimed for this typo of
gear is that It permits the use of hieb-
specd rotative parts from the engine to
tnc Urifttng wheels where the reduction
in speed and increase in power is effec
tive in the wheels themselves.
Tho axles arc provided with the
Powrlok differential, which prevents
one wheel from spinning whero it en
counters soft ground nnd permits the
other wheel to continue to propel the
truck, thus avoiding skidding and stall

"vtlue.
AVe Want tbem to consider, nut only the
individual units, but the sound engineering
and manufacturing experience that selects

AVe Want .them to assure themselves,
beyond the last least doubt, that Gramm
Bernstein is longer-lived, thst it docs
more work,' end harder work, at lower
cost.
