Brantford "Ideal" gas and gasoline engines : instruction book . hey are kept clean and dry. Dampness and dirt aretheir direct enemies. They are provided with compression grease cups and wick-oilers, etc., and need butlittle oil. When used too freely lubricating oil becomes dirt. If the dynamo does not generate, when it is running near the speed which is indicated on it, and in theright direction for which it is connected, tne trouble may be caused by the brushes making poor contact withthe commutator. In this case, increase tension on the brushes by means of the springs, and if the commutatorlooks dirty, clean with a piece of clean rag, chamois skin, or number O. O. sand paper. If the dynamo is driven by small friction wheel against the fly-wheel, see that the governor actspromptly, and that the speed does not exceed the number of revolutions marked on the dynamo. If the dynamo is driven from tae fly-wneel or shaft by belt, see that tne driven pulley on the dynamois tight and does not slip. We can also supply magneto for sparking, when ordered. 14. FIG. 7. 15 The current from a dynamo ignition is tested, while the dynamo is running at its rated speed, by at-taching a piece of wire to one binding post of the machine, and snapping the other end off the other bindingpost, or better still, by placing the spark coil in the circuit, and you get the full benefit of the current, andcan judge the igniting qualities of the spark by its size and color. THE UNDERLYING PRINCIPLES OF THE ENGINE. It is not absolutely necessary that the purchaser or operator of our engine should understand all itsdetails or intricacies in order to operate it successfull. This is far from being the case, since there are manyowners cf our engines today, who have no trouble whatever in operating them successfully, and yet know butlittle more than how to start and stop them. New, the aim of this book is to give a purchaser such an insight into the workings of our engine, thathe may be able to fix anyth
