Handy man's workshop and laboratory . y nearest to the engine, so as to use short wires. Throttle lever, rods, etc., should be set backward as the timer 3^4 HANDY MANS WORKSHOP AND LABORATORY was. A simple, inexpensive carbureter is advisable, such as aSchebler model E, which has only two adjustments to make, onefor the air and another for the gas. Screw the air adjustmentscrew about half way down, and lock it there. Then adjust thegas to give the best results. When the gas throttle is closed, thelever on the steering post should be in rearward position, that is,toward the driver. The gasoline tank should be made to fit between the sills of theseat and fastened on the right-hand side, leaving the space overthe engine open. The tank can be made in any tinshop, of gal-vanized iron with strap iron supports, as in Fig. 321. A force-feed oiler will give the best results, and can be drivenby leather or spring-wire belt from a pulley on the crankshaft. Radius rods are made from %-inch hexagon stock, turned down H1 ah Ten s i o n. ffrrows md/cate direct/ori Batteries Ground Wire Fig. 323—Wiring diagram for engine as in Fig. 322, and with right and left threads cut on the ends,so that they can be lengthened or shortened by turning. A two-speed planetary transmission is used, which also has areverse gear. The band nearest the flywheel gives reverse motion,and the other is for first or slow speed ahead. High speed iscontrolled by a lever on the side, which, when pushed forward,locks all the gears, the transmission turning as a unit, so thatthe drive is direct at the same speed as the engine. First speedand reverse are controlled by pedals, which, when pushed forward,tighten the friction bands around the drums on the bands should be free of the drums when the car is not run- HANDY MANS WORKSHOP AND LABORATORY 385 ning. Otherwise the machine will have a tendency to creepforward or backward when the engine is running and the gearsare not engaged, according to w
