spark plug falling on to font chamber of the carburetter.
Continuing, Mr. Lambert said: "The petrol from the tank flows through the bottom of the car- buretter, the dow being controlled by the float, which, if damaged in any way, may start a joint and leak. The petrol then gets into the float, which instead of flouting in the petrol in the bowl of the carburetter, sinks. The petrol then starts to come out through a small hole in the font chamber cover and Hoods over the engine.

Rotarian A. L. Shields desired information on the question of starting a cold engine, mentioning that it was usual to close the choke and give the engine as much gas as it could absorb.
Cold Engine Starting.
Demonstrating An Explosien, For the demonstration the speaker used an empty cake tin, one side of which held the spark plug and the other side the earth plug. An external circuit connected the tin to the magneto. Mr. Lambert dropped three drops of petrol into the tin, and placed the lid on, and excluding the alr.
