SAVING TROUBLE AND TIME. RULES TO OBSERVE As in most other simple mechanical tasks, there are small points worth remembering that will reduce the time and trouble otherwise expended in changing a wheel. First —and this is important —the owner-driver should make a habit of inflating the spare tyre whenever attending to those in service.

Second, a new car is put into service, it is well to unearth the jack and the wheel brace, In order to make
