ECONOMY OF MOTOR
VAN IS PROVED
Recent Tests Show That the
Motor Car Is a Profitable
Machine

While figures showing the economy
and efficiency of the motor van in
commercial. pursuits, as compared with
the old fashioned horse drawn vehicle,
have been varied and numerous, it has
remained for a large English retail
provision house which for some time
has substituted motor vans for delivery
wagons, to give a new twist to the old
subject. They estimate that each van
averages 10 hours work daily at an
average speed of 10 miles an hour, in
cluding stoppages for delivery, and car
ries an average load of 1,120 pounds.
According to this estimate it per-
forms during that period work equal
to 1920 horsepower. arrived at by
multiplying the load in pounds by the
number of feet it is moved, 10 miles
by 10 hours, 100 miles or 52S, 900 feet,
giving sci, 100000 foot pounds, which,
divided by $4,000 foot pounds, the es-
timated power exerted by a horse in
lifting 900 pounds one foot in one
minute, gives the horsepower men
toned.
A horse performs in one day under
the conditions mentioned work only
equal to 11.200 pounds by 224.4 400 feet,
or 251, 1928, 900 foot pounds; which re-
duced to horsepower equals 1916 daily,
considerably less than half that OBJ
tained from a motor van.

might have half my winnings, for he
would surely earn all of that"
This brought up the question of the
remuneration of mechanics, and it was
learned that the general rule is to pay
the mechanic about 10 per cent of the
prize money sometimes auarter and
seldom a third. The driver seeks "a
man for secondary position who will be
trustworthy and who will take the care
of the car off his hands. Far too many
drivers are forced to work all the night
before a hard race and then enter the
contest far from being in shape to
tackle the job. This is not as it should
be, for the, driver should be rested and
should have all of his nerve with him
when race starts. Condition to carry
out the work is important to him and
the possession of a. poor mechanic
oftentimes results in fatalities through
pure collapse. The graduation of the
mechanic to driver of racing car
comes as a matter of course, for the
secondary position is a great schooling

driver, but i'll posted in the operating

TORPEDO BODIES

The new 30 horsepower chassis of
the Locomobile Company of America
for 1910 may be fitted with limousine
body and a design has been evolved
which is claimed to be specially hand
some and commodious. This vehicle
will accommodate six or seven persons,
five of them inside all of the inside
passengers facing forward. Although
the body is quite large the car can be
readily handled in traffic, as it can be
turned around in a 3S foot street with
out backing. While the car is par
ticularly adapted for suburban work.
it is claimed to have sufficient speed
and power to make it suitable for
touring. Closed cars may now be heat
ed by means of the exhaust gases or by
means of electric stoves, and it is even
possible to prepare hot beverages in the
car while on tour.
