IS THE CHASSIS IN SAFE RUNNING ORDER?—It is an excellent plan to make a habit of examining the chassis. If this be done small defects may be noticed which, if they had remained undiscovered, might have had serious consequences on the road. Loose nuts or the commencement of a crack in a shackle or spring leaf are cases in point. Inadvertent stops on the road—always irritating and sometimes even dangerous—can be made highly unlikely by regular attention to the ignition system, petrol filters, and the lubrication of engine, gearbox and rear axle, using only the best oil and grease. The drawing shows a typical chassis, and indicates the points at which wear may take place. —“Autocar.”
