A CAR-WASHING BRUSH.
A very useful and economical carwasher can be made from an old dusting brush—such as housewives use—and a length of rubber tubing. A hole Sin in diameter is first drilled or burnt with a red-hot steel rod from the handle of the brush almost to the other end. Leading into this a number of smaller holes are drilled, say, iin in diameter, at an angle of 45 degrees and two abreast. A length of suitable rubber tubing is then procured, and one end slid over the brush handle and wired on, while the other end is connected to the nearest tap and the washer is complete. When the water is turned on, it will issue from the small holes in little jets, and a vigorous application of the brush to the muddy chassis will not only remove the surface dust, but wash away the foundation of caked mud as well. Of course, it is inadvisable to use the brush on very delicate paintwork; but the wings and other parts of the chassis can be scrubbed with impunity.
