Why You Can Keep a Motor Car uppose the light in your front hall burns out and you have no extra bulbs in the house. You don’t go to the electrician and say, “I want a bulb for my house at 250 East Main street, for the front hall light. There should be five threads on the screw, the plug is 114 inches in diameter, and I don’t know what kind of current we use. The light is to be screwed into a chandelier which hangs down from the ceiling of my front hall and is turned on and off by a button placed in the hall |at the foot of the sta You merely say that you want an Jelectric light bulb of a certain candle power and a certain kind of glass—clear, frosted or blue—and at the same time | you can buy a dozen and know that they will not all need to be used in the front hall. Any of these will fit every electric light opening in your house, from cellar to attic, and you do not hi to count the number of threads or measure the size of the opening. Electric lights, plugs and sockets have become stand- ardized. | Now, supposing about twenty ago you were driving one of the e: makes of cars out in the country jfound that you needed a new tire. |dealers were few and far between then, pose you might ask for a tire of a certain | nd then find that it would not fit wheel of your car because of some ion in measurement. Tires that were built to fit your car would fit no other, even though the wheels were of the same size. one years the Look at that sign!” qORTUNATELY, that was many years ago. To-day, the tire dealer does not need to know the make of your car or whether it was built in 1912 or 1923. Merely tell him the size and type (whether straight-side or clincher) and you will receive a tire that you will know will fit your car. And even the number of Sizes from which to choose is rapidl becoming reduced to a few standardized and most popular dimensions. Just realize what it would mean if there were as many different combinations of sizes of tires as there are makes of cars in this country. If one manufacturer of a popular car specified a tire 30x 315, another 3014 x 31% and a third 31 x 3), the average tire dealer would find it necessary to carry so many different sizes that he would concentrate only on the most popular, and the owner of a car which was not in such general use would find it difficult to have his tire needs supplied. The same is true of spark plugs, nuts and bolts, ball and roller bearings and other vital parts of a car which may need to be renewed occasionally. The Society of Automotive Engineers, the Association and the Motor and Manufacturers Association endeavored to reduce varying dimensions to the smallest possible number and to standardize certain like parts which are common to cars of all makes and all size For instance, there are only three different sizes of | spark plug holes and these three spark plug s will fit every one of the tw million cars in this country, representing the product of probably some four hundred manufacturers. :T, as important as standardization of dimensions of parts which are common to various makes of cars, is the interchangeability of parts among cars of the same make and model. In the days of hand-made machines every part would vary in size by an appreciable amount irom that of a similar part entering into another machine. All parts comicbooks.com
