Page 304 - ... one of the contact points. The blade is made of a strip of spring brass welded to a strip of nickel steel, a combination which warps at its free end, when heated, due to the greater expansion of the brass side. The spring tension is fixed so that it holds the two contacts firmly RCVERSECUKKENT cur.-our INDUCTION ,-COIL REflOVABLE COVER FiG.
Page 461 - Most skids can be corrected by the manipulation of the steering and brakes. An expert driver can keep his car straight under almost any conditions, but it is impossible to explain just how he does it. Usually the rear end skids first, and in the right hand direction, this being caused by the crown of the road. Under such conditions, the skidding action will be aggravated if the brakes are applied, and the car may be ditched or continue to skid until it hits the curb. The correct action in an emergency...
Page 248 - Where the specific gravity in any cell tests more than 25 points lower than the average of the other cells in the battery, it is an indication that this cell is out of order. Dependence should not be placed, however, on a single reading where there is any question as to the specific gravity. Take several readings and average them. Variations in cell readings may be...
Page 296 - ... current flowing in the voltage coil, will overcome the spring pull and the contact arm will be drawn toward the core, thus opening the contacts and inserting the resistance in the generator-field circuit.
Page 252 - DC supply, using rheostat for resistance. serious injury may result to the battery. The charging wires may be tested for polarity either by using a voltmeter or by immersing the ends of the wires in a glass of water to which a few drops of acid or a little salt have been added, when excessive bubbles will form on the negative wire. In charging from a 110-volt direct-current supply it is necessary to introduce either a rheostat (an adjustable resistance unit), Fig.
Page 134 - This relation is very useful for calculating power in terms of electrical units. The watt is too small a unit for convenient use in many cases, so that the kilowatt, or 1,000 watts, is frequently used. This is...
Page 165 - When contact points are working properly, small particles of tungsten will be carried from one point to the other, sometimes forming a roughness and a dark gray color on their surfaces. This roughness does not in any way affect the proper working of the points, owing to the fact that the rough surfaces fit into each other perfectly. However, when it becomes necessary to take up the distance between these points due to natural wear, it is advisable to remove both contact screw and contact spring,...
Page 296 - It is obvious that increasing the tension of the regulator spring will increase the constant voltage which the generator will maintain. Under no circumstances should the regulator spring tension be increased in an attempt to have the generator charge at a higher rate at low speed. The generator cannot begin to charge until the cut-out closes, and the closing of the cut-out is independent of the action of the regulator.
Page 447 - Lamps go out for an instant only.—if the lamps in one circuit act this way, there is probably a loose connection on the circuit so affected. If all the lamps go out for an instant there is probably loose connection at one end of the wire from the generator terminal to the fuse box.
Page 140 - When two magnets are brought together, it is found that the North pole of one attracts the South pole of the other, and that two like poles, either North and North or South and South, repel each other.
