GASOLINE ENGINE TROUBLES MADE EASY-A CHART SHOWING SECTIONAL VIEW OF GASOLINE ENGINE. Compiled by Victor W. Pagé. It shows clearly all parts of a typical four-cylinder gasoline engine of the four-cycle type. It outlines distinctly all parts liable to give trouble and also details the derangements apt to interfere with smooth engine operation.

men, chauffeurs, motor-boat owners, motor-truck and tractor drivers, aviators, motor-
cyclists, and all others who have to do with gasoline power plants.

It simplifies location of all engine troubles, and while it will prove invaluable to the
novice, it can be used to advantage by the more expert. It should be on the walls of
every public and private garage, automobile repair shop, club house or school.
It can
be carried in the automobile or pocket with ease and will insure against loss of time
when engine trouble manifests itself.
This sectional view of engine is a complete review of all motor troubles.
It is pre-
pared by a practical motorist for all who motor. No details omitted. Size 25x38
inches.

VICTOR W. PAGÉ, M.E.

This shows clear sectional views depicting all portions of the Ford power plant and
auxiliary groups. It outlines clearly all parts of the engine, fuel supply system,
ignition group and cooling system, that are apt to give trouble, detailing all derange-
ments that are liable to make an engine lose power, start hard or work irregularly. This
chart is valuable to students, owners, and drivers, as it simplifies location of all engine
faults. Of great advantage as an instructor for the novice, it can be used equally well
by the more expert as a work of reference and review. It can be carried in the tool-
box or pocket with ease and will save its cost in labor eliminated the first time engine
trouble manifests itself. Prepared with special reference to the average man's needs
and is a practical review of all motor troubles because it is based on the actual ex-
perience of an automobile engineer-mechanic with the mechanism the chart describes.
It enables the non-technical owner or operator of a Ford car to locate engine de-
rangements by systematic search, guided by easily recognized symptoms instead of by
guesswork. It makes the average owner independent of the roadside repair shop
when touring. Must be seen to be appreciated. Size 25x38 inches. Printed on heavy

DIES METAL WORK

DIES: THEIR CONSTRUCTION AND USE FOR THE MODERN WORKING OF SHEET METALS. By J. V. WOODWORTH.

A most useful book, and one which should be in the hands of all engaged in the press working of metals; treating on the Designing, Constructing, and Use of Tools, Fixtures and Devices, together with the manner in which they should be used in the Power Press, for the cheap and rapid production of the great variety of sheet-metal articles now in use. It is designed as a guide to the production of sheet-metal parts at the minimum of cost with the maximum of output. The hardening and tempering of Press tools and the classes of work which may be produced to the best advantage by the use of dies in the power press are fully treated.
