Wabbling Wheels.
It is wise to make an occasional
examination1 of the front wheels to
see whether they are wabbling.
This may be done by jacking up
each wheel and- revolving it and
walking away a few feet to see if it
wabbles as it revolves. By having
some one else drive the car the own-
erjean very quickly see if the wheels
are shaking by taking his stand a
short distance down the street.
Some times the wheel itself may run
true, but the rim and tire may be
incorrectly mounted so as to give
the impressioon that the whole
wheel is wabbling.
Windshield Supports.
On many cars the windshield is
supported by steel arms which pro
trude through the cowl and are fas
tened underneath by a nut and lock
nut. Some times these nuts work
loose through vibration, with the re
sult that the windshield is allowed
to move slightly. The first sign of
this trouble is seen in cracked finish
in the vicinity of the windshield
supports. When the owner makes
his regular periodic Inspection for
loose nuts and bolts these wind
shield nuts should not be forgotten.
Battery Sediment.
While sediment forms in the bot
tom of storage battery jars, it will
seldom accumulate in such quantity
as to reach the plates. Nevertheless
whenever a cell is taken apart for
any reason this sediment should be
carefully Vashed out.
Carbon Dust.
In the generator where carbon
brushes are used a certain amount
of fine carbon dust is inevitably de
posited in the bottom of the gener
ator. This should be blown out with
compressed air whenever the pe
riodic inspection is being made.

The Merit Points that Give
the Sterling Track Power
Three-point Flexible Motor Suspension
The SteiGng is truly die one flexible truck adjusts itself at once to all road
curvature and depteisiaos, wuhout affecting in the slightest any part of the
power or transmission mechanism.
V'Shape Multiple Disc Clutch
The steel and copper plates are so uniquely shaped and specially designed
that there is extreme flexibility even in starting and positive control. The
Sterling Gutch is a wonder. The plates operate in a complete bath of ol
Selective Clutch Type Transmission
Sterling transmission costs over 100 more man the transmission ordinarily
used. But we consider the extra cost well spent because the ordinary trans
mission couldn't perform to Sterling standards.
Gears Always in Mesh
This means you can shift gears on a Sterling on a level or grade without
grinding the gears or making a noise like artillery m action. Gear replace
ments are banished.
Pressed Steel- Wood Inlaid Frame
The wood-lined frame an exclusive Sterling feature-; adds strength,
acts as a cushion, absorbs vibration, prevents crystallization. Try hitting a
stone with a steel-handled hammer, and then with a wood-handled hammer.
Youll appreciate the difference between the Sterling wood inlay frame con
struction and an all-metal frame,
Long and Wide Springs
What other truck has a rear spring as long and wide as that of the Sterling?
Then consider that this -means extra speed without excess vibration or
, depredation. A money-saving feature.
Magfitto Dual Automatic Spark Advance
The Sterling has an automatic spark control. No back "kick" or broken arms
less carbon practically no chance of overheating gasoline economy
easier in starting positive timed ignition at all motor speeds maximum
efficiency all the time not just when you think to place the spark lever in
proper position. It means the driver cannot waste the gasoline.
