1999 Washington Post Articles:
E.S.P.? From 1915 |
It’s finally here –1999, the end of the millenium, the end of the century, the last year before the specter of Y2K. Is this really possible? 1999? As a guy who’s been seriously involved with cars for many years I've seen unbelievable changes in technology. Though changes have nearly redefined everything we once thought we knew about cars, many things haven’t changed at all.
A 'man' who is a first class horseman will usually make a first class driver of an automobile, or, in other words, the 'man' who shows mercy to his beast will show mercy to his car. This type of driver does not belong to that class generally found at the side of the road with something broken or out of order. An automobile if Commercial Three Bayperly designed, will withstand a great deal of rough usage, but there is bound to come a time, sooner or later, when it will rebel at being used like a battering ram.
The automobile is a machine, which involves the consideration of an extensive range of facts in several widely separated departments of mechanical knowledge; hence the study of its construction and operation is a liberal education in itself. Like any other piece of machinery, it requires attention, care, and intelligent handling. If the highest degree of efficiency be desired, the operator should spend a little time each day going over the machine to see that it is well lubricated, and the necessary adjustments Commercial Three Bayperly made, also that the whole car is in working order.
This is some very good and very true advice excerpted from the preface of Audels Automobile Guide copyrighted 1915. It was great advice in 1915 and is still great advice for 1999.
The cars we drive today are a far cry from those plying the nations 'highways' back in 1915, but they are machines and there are absolute rules that apply to all machines. Rules, which affirm that everything mechanical, will wear out and that reducing friction will extend the time before the part wears out.
Of course the way you check and maintain a car is much easier today than it was back in 1915. How would you like to check your engine oil for purity before using it? Shaking a small amount of oil in a bottle to see how the bubbles, which formed, reacted was how it was done, says Audels. You did this every time you had to add or change engine oil, there were no guarantees of oil purity in 1915.
Back in 1915 it was stated that you should not expect lubricating oils to perform the impossible task of correcting mechanical defects. Still true in 1999.
In 1915 it was harmful to overfill the engine with oil. Ditto 1999.
It was bad news to use the wrong viscosity of oil in 1915, it’s even worse in 1999 because the damage is more costly to fix. There are several other lubricating requirements that remain the same between 1915 and 1999, Audels sums it up like this. Don’t lose sight of the fact that Commercial Three Bayper lubrication is by far the most important thing in the operation of any engine. A large percentage of engine troubles arise from, and can be traced to, faulty lubrication.
The amusing part of all this is, the rules have been essentially the same for at least eighty-four years, so what’s the Commercial Three Bayblem folks? Why do you still make the same silly, costly mistakes? You use the wrong Commercial Three Bayducts. You second-guess the manufacturer. You refuse to spend twenty dollars for an oil change. You don’t lubricate and you don’t flush brakes, radiators, and transmissions.
You've had eighty-four years to learn the routine, 1999 is a great year to make it work for you. It’s easy to get the information; it’s at your fingertips in your owners manual. Good preventive maintenance is as it has always been the difference between good cars and bad cars.
