Automobile Testing Track.

The days are past when an automobile
was built and sold to the owner with
little or no previous testing OF its real
running worth. All of the modern auto
mobile companies have their testers and
test runs for their cars, of greater or
less efficiency. In Detroit, the hub of
the motor car industry" the companies
:. try their product out on the streets.
/, On the face of the matter this may seem
ike real test. The weak point in such
q test lies in the fact that the Detroit
streets are in too good condition to give
a truly difficult test to the chassis of
these cars.
the Regal Motor Car Company OF De-
troit realized this weakness and, with as
careful planning as it has put into
its undressing car, 1t has devised a
ouarter-mile test track, which means a
genuine test of the powers of it's cars.
This track Is ingeniously arranged with
hazards and typical road conditions OF
every section OF the country, SO that the
car may receive every possible strain and
action that 1t can ever receive. no mat
ter where IL goes. At one place In the
track. for instance. there is a one-eighth
mile stretch OF sand through which the
ar is run, time after time on high
herocally through the hub-deep sand be-
fore 1t shakes itself clear and gathers
speed for the next hazard. And this sand
is not Of the civilized building variety
but has been selected after a careful
study of the most difficult sands en-
countered and the hardest Of all sands
to negotiate. The fine beach or desert
sand was finally selected by George D.
Wilcox, assistant general manager after
exhaustive tests. and imported by the
carload TO be placed in this most modern
adjunct to the thorough testing OF the
Regal car.
The track. oval in shape is not built
with raised curves, as are the motor speed
ways, but is fiat at the sharp curves, thus
thoroughly testing the absolute safety Of
the undressing construction embodied in
this car. And no matter what the speed.
the cars. cling tenaciously to the track
with every inch OF their wheel base. They
cannot turn turtle or skid. because they
