MOTOR TRUCKS ARE 1
MORE IN FAVOR
MERCHANTS ARE BEGINNING TO
FIND REAL WORTH OF
UTILITY VEHICLES.

1T is much easier to get the ear OF
the merchant today on the question or
motor trucks than It was even as late
as six months ago." says Gleeson Muir
ply. vice-president OF General Motors
Truck company. The reason for this
Is that he has been doing n little
studying on his own account. He has
been watching the development of the
/ industry, and has conducted, in
quiet way, an investigation into the
merits and advantages OF the motor
truck.
However, these are not the most
vital reason for his conversion. What
has made the deep impression Is the
example set by his competitors, for he
has closely watched the Introduction
of trucks in the delivery systems of
the largest corporations II must not
be thought that this move was made
because the firms were wealthy and
, could afford to try what might be-
termed an experiment for this is
not so. The delivery end of bust
ness is watched just az closely az
any other branch. for it Is anexpense
pure and simple and the department
is conducted on economical lines.
Take for example, the large ex
press companies--that's their bust
ness to a certain extent delivering
the thing they deal In, and still you
must admit that the motor truck has
revolutionlzed their entire system. Do
YOU think that they would have adopt
ed this new method Of conveyance
and spent hundreds Of thousands Of
dollars IL they were not satisfied that
the truck would not only prove more
efficient but. by it's high standard of
. service, prove just as economical If
not more so than the horse, and wagon
system?
What is true OF the large user
applies equally TO the firm needing one
or two trucks. The efficiency and ex-
! pense is in proportion, and the great
increase in business since the first OF
the year terds to prove that these
deductions are correct and that the
/ business man LIZ finding out for him

Clutches used on automobiles are all
Of the friction type, says William II ..
Stewart. Jr.. OF New York city There
are three popular types in common
use--tbe cone. the multiple disc and
the band clutch The cone clutch has
the advantage of being simple and ac-
cessible. The usual cone clutch is
faced with leather, fitting into the
flywheel, Springs are arranged in Il
manner to hold it engaged while 1t is
disengaged from the iywheel by
means Of tho rlutch pedal. The 1eath-
or facing requires some little atten-
ton as il may become hard and glaz-
ed duo to friction with the flywheel.
In that event it should be treated
with some good vegetable oil, ma
chine oil having detrimental effect
upon leather. II il should be found
that grease or oil from the engine or
transmission has lodged upon it,
causing it to slip, wash ii carefully
and treat afterward with vegetable oil
The multiple disc clutch is COM
posed of a number OF steel discs fast
ened to the crank shaft alternately
with other discs fastened to the clutch
shaft. These are compressed by
springs and disengaged by the clutch
pedal. The dies running in oil make
the clutch very flexible. 1t also has a
comparatively greater frictional sur
face over all other types, which tends
to prolong the life of the clutch.
The band clutch Is of two types
contracting and expanding. A band
fastened to the clutch shaft either
contracts or expands on a drum at
tached to the fiywheel while some
cars use a leather faced drum. The
treatment for that type is much the
same as the cone clutch Still others
use a metal to metal combination, the
drum usually being made OF bronze
while the band is of steel. On this
type OF drum it is advisable occasion
ally to apply little praphine and oil
so as to keep a glazed surface, thereby
preventing the bronze from becoming
raw and wearing excessively.
The handling of the clutch properly
il Hear ming -tte-4lfir+-- stfa aatonfohife n
the most difficult feature TO acquire.
Care should always be exercised not
to slip the clutch any more than Is
absolutely necessary in starting from
q standstill. Failure to disengage the
clutch at the moment of gear chang
ing may result in broken transmits
sion gears. and one should always
throw the clutch before moving the
gear shift lever.

Motor For OF Sprinkler.

Road engineers agree that the most
effective method AT present discovered
fDr preserving the roads against the
Misunderstanding action of horses and
Vehicles is by spraying them with
crude oil. The first method Of ac-
enmplishine this was by means of the
ordinary sprinkler carts sucil as are
used fer watering the streets, merely
Substituting OH ~ place II water IN
the tanks.
A. crude oil Is more viScid than
water however. IL does NOT flow
readily from the ordinary water

pressure and does not spread effective
Ii when thus used. tending to accumu-
late IN pools and distribute unevenly.
To insure the best results from oil
treatment, 1T has been found neces-
eHry that the upper surface Of the
roadbed be uniformly saturated with
the oil. and the only satisfactory way
Of accomplishing this Is by means Of
the power operated pump which
sprays the oil under pressure equally
over the entire roadbed.
The first motor truck built IN this
country equipped with this system OF
oil spraying device for road work
has now been in service for over a
year. II III equipped with tank
