An intermediate piece between the yoke endproper and the rod is provided with ears or finger pieces sothat it can be readily turned without the use of tools. This intermediate piece is in the form of a threaded collar whichturns comparatively freely in the hub of the yoke proper,but the tendency of vibration to work it out of adjustmentis prevented by providing one head with a V-shaped pro-jection which engages with a corresponding notch in thehub of the yoke under the pressure of a coiled spring. This adjustable yoke end takes the place of the adjust-able yoke and turnbuckle. It is claimed to be easier toassemble, to adjust either by hand or wrench and to be lessexpensive than a separate yoke end and The Gemmer yoke end THE Merchant Venturers Technical College, whichprovides the Faculty of Engineering of the Uni-versity of Bristol, and maintains a separate Departmentof Automobile Engineering, is just completing the re-equipment of the automobile laboratory. Several firms,recognizing the value of such a department devoted tothe study of the problems of the industry and to thetraining of automobile engineers, have presented valu-able specimens of engines and equipment to the collegefrom time to time. The latest gift, presented by DouglasMotors, Ltd., is a standard 2% twin air-cooled same company has also promised one of its newO. H. V. engines immediately they are in production. Theengine will be used both for demonstration and researchwork, with results, it is hoped, beneficial to the makers,students and the motor trade generally. 900 AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRIES THE AUTOMOBILE April 28, 1921 The Central Research Laboratory ofthe General Motors Company
