ENGINE THERMOMETER
WHAT SHOULD IT INDICATE? Making trouble is a bad business in automobile ownership. There is enough of it in the normal coarse of events without going to extra bother. Recently a motorist with a new car and a type of instrument board meter that was new to him gave himself and the service people a lot of unnecessary trouble by mistaking a normal situation for something that •wasn’t according to the rules. It seems that every time he switched off his engine the heat indicator started to register higher than when it was running. He was worrie^. Yet that is exactly as it should be. While the engine runs the water is circulating through the head and block, these parts continually receiving fresh supplies of cooled -water. But when the engine stops this cooling action ceases. The water remains stationary and for a short while is hotter than when the engine operates.
