THE WIRING SYSTEM.
METHOD OF INSPECTION. Start with the battery and follow •each one of the cables through the switches, making sure of every con- '< nection. At the same time be sure that there are no short circuits \ caused by the wearing through of insulation or by bits of wire that sometimes drop in where they do not belong. So much for the wiring, but at the same time it is a good thing to have the starting, lighting and ignition units and the storage battery looked over by a service station specialising in battery and electrical service. There are a certain few things that it is always well for the motorist £6 remember in regard to the electrical system .of his car. The storage battery is tucked away out of sight, but it should not be allowed to be “ out of mind.” Even if it does look as solid and durable as the rear axles it should not be taken for granted that it will last as long. On the contrary, a storage battery is an
dectro-chemical combination and very sensitive to influences which would not affect any of the mechanical parts of the car. Certain conditions will produce results which may put it out of commission at any time durng its life. One of the most harmful influences to guard against in summer is overheating.
