which was built from discarded automo- 

 bile parts such as may be found in the 

 junk pile of any average garage repair 

 shop. It consists essentially of a rod, A, 

 to both ends of which are riveted levers, B, 

 (discarded brake levers). The pointed 

 plugs, C, are riveted into the upper end of 

 one lever, while screw D passes through 

 the upper end of the other lever. 



A third lever, F, placed between the 

 levers, B, is bored out at its hub to permit 

 its sliding smoothly over the shaft, A. 

 In addition its upper end is provided with 

 a plug, C, similar to that placed in the 

 other lever. The plug in the lever, F, 

 however, is bored out at one end to receive 

 the pressure from the screw, D.

How to Make an Automobile 

 Spring Leaf-Separator 



THE body springs of an automobile 

 should be periodically lubricated. 

 This will result in greater comfort to the 

 occupants as well as in quieter riding. 



A common practice on the part of the 

 avf^rage driver is to separate the leaves 

 of the springs with the aid of a hammer 

 and chisel or a screw-driver. Procedure 

 such as this, however, is extremely detri- 

 mental to the well-being of the springs, 

 the constant hammering causing unneces- 

 sary strain on the leaves. 



The accompanying sketches illustrate 

 the construction of a simple appliance

Levers mounted on a bar carrying cone 

 points for separating the leaves of a spring 



tremely simple. Turning the screw, D, 

 forces the'plugs, C, towards one another; 

 consequently when they are placed be- 

 tween two leaves of the spring, a few 

 turns of the screw will readily separace 

 them. — Adolph Klein.
