Nepean H'way. and Centre Dandenong-rd Cheltenham (just past the traffic lights). Forget Trams and Trains The suspension, which Is neither firm nor spongy, was, just the thing for some reallv had Datches In the hill timber country between Noo- lee ana poweiitown. The responsiveness of engine, brakes- and step, ing meant the difference between merely getting through, or making good time in the hills.

The engine adequately answered our demands on uie trip, out curing tne acceleration tests wp nnt.ir.ed slight pause before quick get-aways from low speeds, The motor seems to really I taice noict oetween za-au m.p.h., a boon in traffic. There is something different about the feel of a fiat-four engine, hut we came to like that in the Javelin for its smoothness, silence and ability to quickly reach a high cruising rate. Well Planned Mono-construction ol body and chassis and torsion bar springing have reduced weight of the Javelin. Such construction also helps provide room without bulkiness, but "large car" leg room for six persons on the Bat floor is made possible by placing the engine just ahead of the front axle. This also brings passengers ahead of the rear wheels.

As the passengers have been so well placed, it has been possible to smooth out body contours according to best areodynamic principles This reduces wind noise and helps economy. Spaciousness is a feature of the Javelin, and passenger and driver comfort has not been forgotten. No seating position is more comfortable than another and each passenger has an armrest. Offset pedals take some getting used to and a little practice is required to use the toe instead of the ball of the foot on the brake pedal, which Is rather close to the steering column. Palming the steering column gear lever away and up into 3rd gear position is advisable to avoid "knuckling" a switch on the Jacla.

Tilts Back Otherwise the gear change Is delightful; it is handy and positive. The squab of the front seat tilts back as the seat is wound forward. This is an excellent idea for longdistance travelling, but not so good for a driver of short stature. Walnut panelling and thoroughly serviceable upholstery are conservative, and attractive. The excellent Instruments must be praised for legibility and grouping in front of the driver.

The tools have their own compartments in the large platform-type boot, signs of thoughtfulness which would be appreciated in some other popular makes of cars, as would the same amount of space for packages, When we took over one ot the de luxe models Tor a test we knew the Javelin was unconventional; we knew- had a "flat-four" engine. But the whole car also seemed unconventional. Why 1 We had our answer in the car's response to some hard driving. The Javelin proved to be a m-litre car with the performance, roominess and comfort of a 2-litre model, but with the petrol consumption of the former. We added features such as reliability and willingness for hard work and had a car for many purposes.

Surprised A 216 miles round trip, Including city traffic, high speed open country running and low gear work in the hills, was a good test for overall consumption. Aft.pr 90 milpR nf rir.v wnrlr the route took in Prankston, rooraain, Lang Lang, Drouin, Warragul, Noojee. Lilydale, Croydon ana "home." The excellent figure of 30.8 m.p.g. was recorded.

cruising and fast, rough hlli work. We were surprised at the hill-climbing ability of this car. The bridge and bad turn at the foot of the Vj mile pull up into Lang View was approached at under 30 m.p.h., because of that frequent nuisance, wandering stock, but the Javelin climbed steadily without much extra pressure on the accelerator and was doing better than 40 m.p.h. at the top. ar handled and rode like a thorougbred on a wide variety of roads and bends.

Heavy current draw Is not detrimental to a healthy, charged battery, but will noticeably affect a battery in low charge. If the engine does not start readily, look for the cause rather than use up the battery output T1B CAST CARBURET-lJ TORS have an annoying habit ol farming a greyish solution in the float chamber. Periodically check and clean to prevent jet obstruction.

gines exhaust valves must have at least .020 in, clearance when cold so that they will not be propped off the seats when not. This wide clearance results in noisy operation when the engine is well below real working temperature. O.H.V. engines with aluminium pushrods do not alter much between hot and cold, as the various expansions cancel each other out, but on side-valve engines the inlet clearance widens and the exhaust closes up. Insufficient clearance causes the followers to ride continuously on the cams and may cause groovees in the followers.

When deep enough these will cause noise, however close the clearance is set, and are also certain to burn out exhaust valves. This occurs because the opening is very gradual and takes place too soon when the gas in the cylinder is still very hot and at a high pressure. wide clearances cause noise and wear the valves and seats because of ham-merine action when clos ing. occasionally, however, one meets an engine which will run for long distances with clearances just a little wider than standard, but if readjusted rapidly returns to the old figure. In this case, accept the position.

303-305 ELIZABETH STREET, MELBOURNE, C.I. This slackness Is essential for correct operation and is usually referred to as "tappet clearance," although there may not be any tappets Incorporated In the design. The correct figure Is always stated in the maker's instruction book and should be rigidly adhered to. The reasons for differences in clearance are bound up in the shape of the cams and whether they have "quietening" curves or not, the type of valve gear and the metals of which the head, barrel, valves and pushrods are made. Materials have a marked effect because their different thermal expansion rates may tend to make the clearances wider when hot or may have the opposite effect.
