Oil Pumps And How They Work, Continued—
The Plunger Pump
Cl
HE Illustration shows, in principle, an oil pump of the plunger tspe.
operated by an up and down motion and essentially like the domestic
force-pump. The parts are shown in partial cross-section, A being
1 the cylinder or barrel, in which slides the tightly fitted plunger or
P-ston B. The inlet Cis immersed in the oil of the sump or piped to It
and the inlet passage C can be closed by the
‘eating, in its spherical scat, of the steel
hall D. A passage N leads upward from the
lower part of the cylinder to the outlet or
delivery passage F, which can be closed by
the seating of its ball valve E. MM are
supports by which the pump is attached to
the inside of the crank-ca.-e. Such a pump
may be driven by one of the valv -cams, iiy
a crank and connecting-rod or it may hp
operated by an eccentric, a- -•> shown.
G is the cam-shaft or some r engine
shaft, having keyed to it the e. .t tic plats
H which, when it turns, move in a '•lrp
sided" manner, the motion ot its outside
edge being partly indicated by the dotted
line. The eccentric strap K is fitted around
H and slides upon it as well as moving with
it as II rotates. The connecting tod It is
fastened to strap K and to the upper end of
the pump plunger B at the hinge L, with
the result that, as G turns plunger B moves
up and down and R oscillates as wei; as
having an up and down motion. In the
igram, the plunger B is shown making |*s
.p-stroke and oil entering the space P
through passage C, which'has been opened
by the unseating of ball-valve D, as a result
of the tendency toward a vacuum in P as
it enlarges by the upward motion of the
plunger. The suction in P also acts to hold
bail valve E tightly closed. This condition
continues until B has reached the top of its
stroke and the cylinder space under it is
filled with oil. B then commences to descend
and, as it does so. exerts pressure upon the
oil under it. which closes the ball-valve D.
preventing oil from being forced back
ihrough inlet C. At the same time oil pres-
sure, communicated through N, opens ball valve E and allows oi! to b<*
forced to the c-ngine supply-pipes through discharge passage F. which
action goes on until II reaches the lowest point in its stroke. These
ire kept up indefinitely, the pump filling on its tip stroke and discharging
on its down stroke. This type of pump has positive suction power ana :b
capable of filling itself with oil.

Simple Tests Of Engine Oil
in The Matter Of Oil •*The Best Is The Cheapest”
I
T SOMETIMES HAPPENS that a motorist experiences engine troubles,
which may be attributed ti» the quality of the cylinder oi! used, such
as persistently oily plugs, overheating and diminished power and rapid
growih of carbon deposits. While he cannot make any rigid scientific
'SKts, there are certain simple experiments, through which he can put the
suspected lubricant, that may prove illuminating. It has been found that
oils, which permanently mix or ‘'emulsify” with water, decompose rapidly
under cylinder heat and are generally unsatisfactory, and he can take *
bottle, (ill it with equal quantities of oil and water, cork it and shake it
briskly for a few minutes. If, after it is allowed to set tor perhaps a day,
the oil riser and the water settles, leaving a pretty clean-cut line between
tnem, the oil is satisfactory in this respect, hut if they remain mingled in
a somewhat curdly mass, containing small globules, like the olive oil and
wnegar in salad dressing, it Is best to make a new venture In oil buying
Some idea as to how the oil withstands heat may be obtained by filling a
bottle with it, placing a pan of sand over a gas stove burner, partly burying
tne bottle in the sand, raising the temperature of the sample until It just
begins to give off inflammable vapor, keeping it at this degree of heat for
i quarter of an hour or so and then setting it awajn Should the sample
sfter a time, show a considerable amount of black sludgy solid matter at
ibe bottom, it is a sign that the motorist should "guess again” on the oil
question. If the sample is only uniformly darkened in color or even has
a trace of deposit, this is evidence tbat it is a good article. When, on
cold mornings, an engine is so stiff that it can hardly he turned over, the

ARDLY SECOND IN IMPORTANCE to providing a sufficiency of oil
to all parts of an engine, at ail times, is the question of the quality
of the oil furnished it. The following remarks relate to the properties,
which a g6od oil should possess and as to what tests are employed
10 demonstrate them. (1) A gas engine cylinder oil should he of purely
mineral origin, as otherwise corrosive fatty acids will be present. (2) At
all oils become thinner with Increase of temperature, a reliable oil should
resist this thinning effect to such an extent that, at the temperature of
boiling water, it sball still have thickness or "body” enough, so as not tc
bo squeezed out. uuder pres.vre. from between the surfaces to be lubri
caled, thus allowing them to come Into contact and cut each other. Ill)
Since, on the other hand, all oils tend to become thick «nd ‘‘buttery’' when
cooled, practical use requires one which shall remain fluid and capable of
free circulation at the lowest temperature existing wit.,in an engine, after
•t is in operation. (4) In order that it may be durable as a lubricant and
not foul tde Interna! engine parts with carbonaceous substances, it must
possess the power of resisting blasts of extremely hot cases and contact
with hot metals, not only as against rapid evaporation but also as against
decomposition. If an engine oil fails to answer requirement (1) there wll.
be some roughening and pitting of engine part*. through corrosive action
if it falls in (2) there wilt be an undue loss of power through excessive
irlction, abnormal wear of parts, unusual beating and possibly cylinder
scoring and burned out bearings, especially If an engine is worked hard.
If requirement (3) Is not successfully met. (here will bo danger of scratched
cylinders and melted bearing? in starting an engine from a cold condition,
on account of the thickened oil falling to reach and distrlbnte over the
nearing surfaces promptly enough. Any failure to fulfill condition 14) will
result In an abnormal consumption of oil, in a smoky exhaust In fouled
spark plugs and f&ultv Ignition. In rapid carbonization of valves, pistons anu
cylinder heads and- in case water finds its way Into the crankcase—ln
tne emulsification or ‘‘beating together" of ihe oil and water. In which
condition lubricating qualit'es are lessened and there is dungci of o!)
passages becoming obstructed.

Answer: The most likely explana
ion seems to be that, on these occa
sions. the carhure.tor gives a greatly
overrich mixture, which chokes the
engine and finally fouls the plugs so
that firing becomes uncertain. With
a carburetor depending upon an au
