The spring ends extend far into the hubsand are notched to insure a perfect bond. It is stated thaton tests to destruction the springs will be broken withoutloosening in the hubs. Three sets of laminae are used ineach joint. As the flexible members are cast in the hubsthe whole joint is one piece, and it requires no lubricationor attention by the operator. The illustration shows theconstruction. When two of these universals are used inan automobile drive no slip joint is required. The Splitdorf Electrical Co. has brought out an auto-matic advance coupling for magnetos. It consists of acentrifugal governor of simple and compact design asshown in Fig. 3. The governor weights are pivoted to thehousing and connect by
