To the Editors of the Union and American:
Srs: IL the following calculation does
not dtmonstrG'e The fsilscy of 'spring
power AS applied to locomotion, then
wish some of your numerous readers may
sci me right. Suppose we have a spring,
Which, hen wound up, would exert q
force Of 100 pounds over four feet. Now
suppose this spring is attached to any
kind of vehicle, and is so gearcd as 10
run one quarter of a mile without wind
liz, up five degree grade, which is
about ore foot in twelve. One quar'er OF
= mile is 1920 feet. Now since the
lprinC eycrts force of 100 pounds over
four feet, the same force exerted over
|, 800 feet would be only of 1920 or
5SOth part of 100 pounds or shout one
third of oro pound, as the force exerted
continuously over one quarter of mile.
Now, suppose the spring and its pro
portion of gearing connected with II
weigh twelve pounds.
Then the force required TO sustain the
spring snd its gearing On this incline OF
one in twelve viii be one pound. The
Fpring We have seen only exeTts sus-
tanning 70 &C e one-thiId of a pound.
hence tie spring in the case supposed is
able to sustain only one third of its own
weight; OF, in other words, if the spring
vas Only T. qaiTed u run one.thiId of the
-tlisiapce, or one twelfth of a mile, with
cut winding, 1t would jast b, able to sup
n ;rt its own weight. In this case the
vehicle would run as well without springs
as with them.
The came results will follow whether
the springs are large or small.
