GENERAL NOTES.
- Overspeeding of a light car is more dangerous than the speeding of a car of a larger size. Cover the spare tyre. Kubber that is permitted to lie in the sunlight for a long time cracks and oxidises. When working about head lamps, spread out a robe or blanket under the lamp. This will ensure safety to the lens if it should suddenly slip out of its frame. A- reader asks if it is a good thing to lubricate the throttle before setting out on a journey ?—Yes, if sufficient water is taken with it, followed by a cough lozenge in case of accident. Brakeband lining must be kept free from embedded grit and metal particles by frequent washing and brushing, and no metal wires should protrude through the fabric surface. The. deadly carbon monoxide gas is colourless, tasteless, and practically odourless. The first effect of carbon monoxide poisoning is a headache, followed in- a few minutes by a giddy feeling.
