NEW USE FOR MOTOR TRUCK
New York Contractor Uses a. Type
Equipped with II Dumping
Body.

A suitable dumping body has at last been
designed for the motor truck, and is placed
in operation by a firm in New York City.
This firm has contract In New York City
FOR hauling coal. ashes. gravel and similar
city work, and the White company were
asked to design a suitable dumping body
which would rapidly, handle and make the
motor truck feasible and economical.
The first truck has now been in opera
ton some two months and has proven a
revelation in efficiency and economy Of OPP
GRAFTON. This truck is carrying wet ashes
from power house situated on the Harlem
river at Two Hundred and Twenty fourth
street, to new street which Is being filled
in at Broadway and Two Hundred and For
tieth street
. The truck carries a load of seven cubic
yards of ashes a distance of mile In
comparison with horses the regular teams
which have been used on this work have
been hauling three and half cubic yards
to a load. The daily trips average from
| five to six trips. The truck has been car
rying twice as great a load aud has aver
aged from ten to twelve trips, or double the
number Of trips. In other words, 1t has
easily done four times the work or taken
the place Of four horse drawn wagons.
OF course there can. be no comparison
of expense Of the up-keep % four teams as
| compared with one motor truck.

the manoeuVers described above. one must
be conversant with the changes Of mechan-
ism involved in changing speeds We have
two spur-gears Of unequal size revolving at
unequal speed and wish to mesh" them;
obviously the first thing to do is To reduce
them to Yas nearly an equal sped "a pos
sibe. When running On She low sea- the
spur-wEeel on the clutch-shaft.t being
smaller than that on the counte~-shaft. re-
wolves at a much greater rate than the
latter; therefore the rate OF the counter
shaft should be increased. by speeding up
before the clutch ia released: the release
allows the man-shaft to slow down. and
thus an equilibrium is obtained during
which the change Is made; the clutch must
then be instantly thrown in again and the
engine al the same time quickened by ad-
vanclng the spark. so that when the new
gears, the relative Size or which is the
converse of that prior to the change, come
into play. the main shaft may be driving
the commensurate. not vice versa.
Failure to get sufficient speed on the en-
CINE besore fuzzy reclutching means a jerk,
a strain on the mechanism, and often a
stalled engine.
The rationale Of the opel alton Of coming
to lower speed is exactly the opposite OF
the above. The effects just described are
much more perceptible on the road than
when the wheels are running free in the
air. The ease and smoothness with which
gears are changed is one Of the best tests
o. the efficiency of a motor driver; ex-
perts can change the gearsi without the oc-
cupants of the car being aware of the ac-
ton
Though no force must be used the gear
lever must always be thrust in boldly and
decisively; hesitation is fatal to success
and produces a grinding of the spur wheels
which is detrimental to them and disagree
able to the passengers.
While the car is stationary it is well to
practice the use OF the brakes so that both
hand and.foot may become efficient in find
ing and applying them without the aid of
the eyes. Mistaking the gear lever for the
brake lever, when Hurried has proved a
costly error to more than one novice on
the road.
When facility in all these manipulations
is attained. the car may be taken out on a
level secluded road

Having ascertained that. the gasolene, oil,
and water tanks are, well supplied and the
engine running smoothly, the driver should
mesh the low gear and, letting the clutch
slip in very gradually, start the car at a
slow speed, increasing the momentum as

ART OF AUTO DRIVING TOLD
Many Essential Points Can Be
Learned in Garage.
MUST FIRST LEARN THE PARTS
Driver Can Get hest Knowledge by
setting Engine Into Action and
Watching Mechanism work
-RuIes of the Road.

Though skillfuI driving can be learned
only by experience on the roads, there are
many essential preliminaries that can be
best acquired in the privacy of the private
garage or grounds, according to n. New
man Davis.
The best method for the novice in learn
ing to drive car is first to master the
use and rationale of the component parts
of the driving mechanism; then block the
front wheels of the car by means of Jack,
and raise the rear end till the driving
wheels are just clear of the ground, sup
porting the rear axle carefully at both ends,
so that there may be no danger of the car
slipping down. Having done this and re-
moved the footboard so as to expose the
clutch, start the engine in the following
manner having turned on the cock from
the gasoline tank, set the spark lever back
to the full extent Of the quadrant and the
throttle-iever about midway; close the
sparkling Circuit by means Of the switch on
the dashboard, and proceed to crank. In
case of a car which is fired by a magnetic
generator only. it will be necessary to
spin" the engine several times to obtain
ignition; when batteries or storage cells are
used, half or quarter turn will often suf-
flee. Cranking should always be started
with an upward stroke, never downward
and directly the engine has begun to act the
spark lever should be advanced about half
way and the throttle lever brought back to
the utmost consistent with regular running
When the engine has not been standing
long IL may usually, unless magneto-fired
be started ION compression" that is, with
out cranking, by the following method: Ad-
vance the spark lever to the limit set the
throttle half way open, switch on the cur

While on the subject OF brakes ! would
strongly urge my readers to avoid skidding
the wheels; brake gives its highest effect
just short of skdding, SO that sIiddns

be avoided is pulling up SO close to the

cially among traffic Instead of starting

usual method run backward; on starting
again, the car can be turned in the de
sired direction without further maneuver-
ing OF course care must be taken to see
that the road is clear before starting the
backward movement.
In negotiating corners and sharp turns
it is best to throttle down the engine, de-
clutch. and run round by momentum only
at moderate speed; this not only reduces
the strain on the tires but is also much
more comfortable for the occupants OF the
car.
In case of slde-slip never apply the
brakes; this will only aggravate matters;
counteract the slipping by steering, and re-
duce the speed, but keep a little driving

travels in the line of least resistance, the
fact of side-slipping shows that there is

GOTHAM NATIONAL AUTO SHOW
Eleventh Annual Exhibition VIII

That the Association Of Licensed Auto
mobile Manufacturers propose to make the
eleventh National Automobile show, to he
held in Madison Square Garden January
to 81 1911, the most important i'm the his
tory OF motordom was made evident this
week by the issuance of floor diagrams
showing the arrangement of space for ex-
hibitors at the double show.
Although the show is some three months
distant, the show committee, consisting
of Colonel George Pope, chairman; Charles
Clifton Alfred Reeves and Merle l..
Downs, secretary, will leave no stone un-
turned to make the forthcoming exhibit
tions infinitely typical Of the gigantic in
dustry they now represent
The automobile industry is now one OF
Americas foremost keystones and IT Is
proper that the great annual display OF
all that is latest in the automobile world
should be fittingly set forth in compre-
hensive order for the edification of the
American public. The automobile indus
try long has passed the embryonic stage
and the purchaser OF a car today needs no
further guarantee Of it's reliability than
the stamp of the Association OF Licensed
Automobile Manufacturers.
The forthcoming show will be the larg-
est in the history of the trade, for no less
than elghty-three manufacturers and inn
porters licensed under the Selden patent
will house their exhibits within the con-
fines Of the nationally famous Madison
Square Garden. Former show-goers will
scarcely be able to, recognize the familiar
lines of the amphitheater so radical are
the changes planned in its interior con-
struction.

vioJs experiments on the stationary car.
The feet should be kept constantly on the
pedals OF the clutch and foot-brake respec-
lively. and ability to slow down and to
pull up suddenly should be cultivated above
all other tactics.
There are two recognized ways of holding
the steering wheel, which are shown in
the accompanying Illustrations and both
have their advantages.
The "accelerator.' or foot-throttle found
on most cars has been purposely omitted
from the foregoing directions. because il
should not be used until complete mastery
of the car is attained; many drivers, how
ever. drive by it alone and disregard the
hand throttle entirely.
Duties of Driver.
The motor drivers duties to the public
are: To drive his car on his own side of
the road and al moderate speed, especi-
ally when negotiating curN es and turns: to
keep a good lookout ahead, to sound his
horn vigorously when he cannO. see far
ahead, TO signal to vehicles behind when
about to stop or turn off; to respect the
rights of pedestrians and other users Of
the road; to avoid a smoky exhaust and a
cut-Out muffler; to carry efficient lights
at night, and to watch for frightened
horses. This last precauton is generally
superfluous in tho cities where al horses
are Injured to motors, but in country dis
tricts it is one of the most important items
in the list.

of watching the ears of every horse l meet:
