Better Ways to Summer Driving Comfort Cited
ice of your car air conditioner.
Hot Weather Hints
During hot summer days al-
ways park in the shade — or
leave your windows open. Your
car will cool -down much
quicker if the interior doesn't
become super-heated. Parked
in the sun on a 90° day (with
windows closed)', the can
inside your car can soar
to a tremendous 140° — the
htghest degree..to which most
people are• ever subjected.
Should the interior of your
car become super-heated,, turn
your air conditioner on "high"
and place the temperature'
control at its highest setting.
Drive a few blocks with all
windows rolled down. This
quickly removes ha air' and
permits, quicker cooling. Air
must circulate through the
condenser coil before your
unit will.function at maximum
efficiency, thus your' car must
be moving for it to cool prott-
erly.
When you park, remember
to turn your air conditioner off
— this makes-starting your car
much easier. -
If unit doesn't cool, move
temperature control to cold-
est setting. If cooling doesn't
occur then, turn unit off (to
avoid possible damage) and
see your service man for a
check-up.
Sometimes on -a long trip,
frost may form on the cooling
coil. This may be evident .by
a ladk of cold air, since frost
will prevent air circulation. To
correct, move temperature
control toward off position and
turn fan control to high. This
will melt ice and allow unit to
again cool properly.
Care, g-eiwice Uinta

Overheating Can
Be Forestalled .
.By These Checks
While most cars made today
.have cooling sYStems.that are
"sealed" in•the factory, a wise'
motorist still 'takes precau-
tions against engine overheat-
ing, Here are some basic pre-
cautions to take to make sure
your car keeps its cool.
Test the anti-freeze to make
sure it hasn't lost its rust in-
hibiting elements. If it has,
drain and flush the cooling
system before installing new
'anti-freeze.
Test the condition and ten-
sion of all drive belts as well
as radiator hoses. Check the
radiator and hoses for leaks.
Also check pump gaskets and
tightness of the pulley hub on
the water pump.
Cheek to see that there is
no foreign Matter on the cool-
ing fins and that the overflow
tube is not obstructed.

First Test Track
Built in 1915
Proving grounds were intro-
duced by the industry in 1924.
But what probably was the
first test track designed spe-
cifically to test ,and evaluate
production vehicles was built
by a Detroit auto maker back
in 1915. A half-mile planked
track circled a steel-fabricated
"hill" More than 40 feet high,
which cars had to climb prior
to leaving the factory.
Cars were also required to
plow through a sand pit and
travel around the track at all
speeds before being approved
for shipment. Before the track
was built, newly-assembled
vehicles were tested on nearby
city streets.
