The same motorist also tells of a time
when he wanted to light his gas headlights
and found that the generator had
mysteriously disappeared. As he had to
have light and his lamps would burn
nothing but gas, he was obliged to make
the gas in some way or other. So he
procured two tin cans, one with a top
and a bottom, and the other with only
a bottom. In the one with both top and
bottom, he made a very small hole, and
in the side of the other, he put a piece
of threaded pipe, fastened by two nuts,
one on either side of the metal. To this
pipe he attached the hose that fed gas to
the headlights. Then, filling the latter
can with carbide, and the other with
water, he fastened them together, one
above the other, with rubber bands, so
the water would leak out of the top one
upon the carbide in the lower one. The
nature of the calcium carbide and the
water did the rest, and he went on his
way rejoicing.
ANOTHER QUESTION
ANSWERED
M C H A L L we take the limousine, or the
tow near'" That is a question often
asked, in the home of the man who is
AUTOMOBILE TIPS 261
fortunate enough to have a sample of
each kind of those two city cars. This
article will not be of any interest to that
man. But there are men who can afford
to have a limousine, or a town car, but
not both of them. Those men can now
have their choice of either at a moment's
notice.
For the designers of automobile
bodies, in their effort to produce something
that is new, and at the same time,
something that will appeal to the greatest
number of people, have now brought
forth the limousine that can be converted
into a town car in two minutes, or a
town car that can be made into a perfectappearing
limousine in the same length
of time.
There is a break in the roof of the
limousine, just where it covers the partition
between the driver's part and the
passenger's part of the car. This break
is practically invisible, and the car is just
the same in appearance, as any other
limousine. When it is desired to use it
as a town car, the roof over the driver's
part of the car can be removed at the
break and at the place where it joins the
windshield, in less time than it takes to
put up a side curtain. There are two
patent catches at the rear end and two
others at the front end, so all the man
has to do, is lift the roof off, when he
has unlocked the four catches, and set it
away until the limousine is called for.
