 DETAIL OF BRAKE AND CLUTCH LEVER
Fig. 9
The Brake is Controlled by a Pedal, and a Clutch Lever is Mounted on the
Central Shaft, and Set by Means of a Ratchet Device and Grip-Release Rod

The engine is cooled by the draft through the wire-mesh opening

in the front of the hood, and through the openings under the hood. If
desirable, a wooden split pulley, with grooved rim and rope belt, may
be fitted on the extension of the engine shaft, and connected with a
two-blade metal fan, as shown in Fig. 2.
The lighting arrangement may next be installed, gas or electric
lamps, run on batteries, being used. Mudguards are desirable if the
car is to be used on muddy roads. Strong bicycle mudguards can be
installed, the guard braces being bolted on the axles. A strong pipe,
with a drawbolt passing through its length, is mounted across the
front of the frame. The body is built of ⁷⁄₈-in. stock, preferably white
wood, and is 2 ft. 4 in. wide. A priming coat should be applied to the
woodwork, followed by two coats of the body color, and one or two
coats of varnish. The metal parts, except at the working surfaces,
may be painted, or enameled.
 Combined Label and Cover Pad for Preserve
Glasses

A neat and convenient method of making a label for jars of

preserves, or similar preparations, to serve as a tab for removing the
cover of paraffin on the glass, or dish, is shown in the sketch. The
tabs are cut from tag board, notched, as shown, and bent on the
dotted line. When melted paraffin is poured on top of the material in
the jar, the tab is imbedded in it. To remove the paraffin cover intact,
a pointed knife is run around the edge, or the glass warmed
sufficiently to loosen the cover, which is then easily removed.—
Arthur M. Cranford, St. Louis, Mo.
 Motor-Driven Entertainer for the Baby

A contrivance that keeps the baby entertained, by the hour, at

intervals, and is a big help to a busy mother, was made in a short
time. I mounted four wooden arms on a small motor, as shown. On
the ends of two of the arms, I fixed small pin wheels, one blue and
the other yellow. The other arms hold curious-shaped pieces of
bright cardboard, one red and the other green. The driving motor is
run by one two-volt cell. The revolving colored pin wheels amuse
baby in his high chair, and the device has well repaid the little trouble
of making it.—A. H. Lange, St. Paul, Minn.
 Simple Concealed Locking Device for Cases of
Drawers
A simple method of providing a homemade locking device for a tier
of drawers, the use of only one keyed lock being necessary, as is
common in manufactured cases, is shown in the sketch. This is
applicable to new or old cases, where a space of about 1¹⁄₂ in. is
available between the back of the drawers and the rear of the case.
 The device, as detailed, consists of a locking bar sliding in guides,
screwed or fastened to the back of the case. Attached to the bar are
latches one less in number than there are drawers, and spaced apart
the distance that each drawer top is above the one below. The upper
latch is the master feature. The top of this is beveled off, forcing it
downward when the top drawer is closed. The locking bar, with the
other latches, also moves down, and the latch fingers engage the
backs of the drawers. The connecting bar is operated by a light coil
spring, set on a shouldered rod at the bottom of the bar, as detailed.
The master latch may be attached at any place on the bar, and
should be placed at the bottom drawer, for cases too high to be
reached handily. To make the device for a small space, a ¹⁄₄-in. metal
rod, with metal fingers clamped on, can be used. Metal striking
plates are then put on the back edges of the drawers.—G. A. Luers,
Washington, D. C.

¶Steam-pipe drains should be provided at all points in the line where

water is likely to accumulate.
 Support for Wagon Pole Aids in Hooking Up
Team

To do away with the annoyance and strain of holding up the heavy

pole of a mowing machine while fastening the yoke strap to the
hames of a restless team of horses, I equipped the pole with a drop
stick, or rest. This was made of a 30-in. piece of an old carriage
shaft. One end of the rod was hinged to the underside of the pole as
shown. When the machine is in operation, the stick is tied up out of
the way by means of a rope. This appliance also lengthens the life of
the pole, and can be used on various kinds of vehicles.—T. H.
Linthicum, Annapolis, Maryland.
 String-Cutting Ring Made of Horseshoe Nail

Persons having to tie a large number of packages or parcels soon

find that their fingers become sore from breaking the heavy cord in
the usual manner by wrapping it around the finger to form a cutting
loop. A handy device, that can easily be made, is a string-cutting ring
fashioned from a horseshoe nail, as shown. The point of the nail is
curled into a hook, and the inner edge of the hook is sharpened. The
string is quickly looped around the hook and cut by a slight pull on
the free end. The ring is worn on the little finger.—C. C. Spreen,
Flint, Mich.
¶A block of soft rubber, 1¹⁄₂ by 3 by 5 in., is useful as a pad for
sandpaper in smoothing curved surfaces.
 Teakettle Cover Held by Dent in Edge

To prevent kettle covers from dropping off, and the fingers from
being burned by the escaping steam, make a small dent in the edge
of the lid, as shown. In setting the lid into place, arrange it so that the
dent is at the point opposite the spout. Thus, when the water is
poured from the kettle, the lid cannot easily tip forward.—W. J.
Parks, LaSalle, Ill.
 Candlesticks Wired Neatly for Electric Lamps

A number of wooden candlesticks were to be fitted with fixtures for

electric lights, and it was found that the types ordinarily available
could not be attached in the usual manner. A simple method was,
therefore, devised, as shown in the sketch, and proved practical. A
short length of brass tubing, A, was screwed into a hole drilled in the
bottom of the candle socket, both ends of the tube being threaded. A
hole was drilled through the side of the tube, and another through
the side of the candlestick cup, as indicated. The hole in the wood
was fitted with an insulation ring, B. The wiring, suitably taped, was
carried through the opening for it, into the tube, and fastened in the
usual manner to a standard keyless socket, which was then screwed
to the end of the tube, making a substantial support. The lights were
controlled conveniently at the usual wall switches.—Livingston
Haviland, Buffalo, N. Y.
 Handy Parcel Carrier with Caster Supports

The Parcels are Handled Easily and with Little Danger of Damage by the Use
of This Homemade Carrier

Instead of carrying out an armload, or a boxful, of miscellaneous

parcels to the delivery wagon or the customer’s vehicle, an
enterprising grocery clerk made a parcel carrier fitted with casters,
as shown in the sketch. An ordinary wooden box was used for the
tray, and handles were fitted at the ends. The legs were made of
light strips nailed as shown. The parcels are loaded into the tray and
the arrangement carried or rolled along on the casters, as is
convenient. Besides making the work of handling the articles easier,
they are kept clean, since it is not necessary to lay them on the walk
or other undesirable place.—Avis Gordon Vestal, Chicago, Ill.
 Kinks in Cleaning a Typewriter
Irregularities in the feeding of the paper into a typewriter are often
due to slippery spots on the platen. To overcome this trouble, clean
the platen thoroughly with a mixture of two parts of denatured
alcohol to one part of ether. Rub the polished parts with No. 2 emery
cloth, then smooth the surface with No. 0 emery cloth. In cleaning a
typewriter with gasoline, the effect is to leave the parts dry. A better
method is to use a mixture of one part of typewriter oil to 50 parts
gasoline. This will leave a fine coating of oil, which is too fine to
collect dust, on the working parts.—William Doenges, Fort Sam
Houston, Texas.
 Red Lens Hinged to Flash Light for Dark-Room
Use

A Ruby Cap Hinged over the Lens of an Ordinary Flash Light Is a

Convenience for the Dark Room

Amateur photographers will find a red lens attachment for a hand

flash light a useful arrangement for the dark room, when going in or
out, and during the process of developing, especially in temporary
quarters. To fit the device in place, measure the distance around the
outside of the lens holder, and lay out this dimension on a strip of tin,
or other metal, 1 in. wide, as shown. Then add ¹⁄₈ in. at each end,
and an extra strip, which should be cut into ¹⁄₄-in. sections, along the
whole length. A spring tab, midway along the top edge of the metal,
is also made. Curl the piece to a cylindrical form and clinch the joint
as detailed, and bend the notched tabs into place. Slip a piece of
ruby glass into the cylinder and hold it against the notched tabs with
a spring ring. Then solder a small hinge to the edge of the cylinder
and to the lens holder on the flash light, so that the spring tab will
snap into place. When a white light is wanted, the red-glass fitting is
released, as shown.
