In the engine the wrist pin, which travels up and down the -cylinder at the rate of about two thousand times a minute, is likely to work loose. •If this happens it may come in contact with the cylinder wall. Since the wrist pin is made of hard steel and the cyl- inder wall is composed of soft cast be said that the manufacturers have gone to great lengths to equip cars with such locking devices for parts as will insure the greatest passible safety to automobile owners. Many parts of a ear are made fast through the use of bolts with the threads on them and nuts that turn on the' threads and make the parts tight.
