MOTORCYCLE NOTES

Motorcycles are being used IN soly-
ing the problem of parcel post deliv-
cry at Cleveland. o.
Early in December Postmaster Floyd
arranged for the use of five motor
cycle vans with which TO deliver par
Gel post packages. He expects to add
ten more machines-or as many as are
necessary 10 insure prompt deliveries
The parcel post Packages are dis
tributed by street car TO the six Cleve-
land sub-stations and from there are
hurried to their destinations in the
motorcycle vans, Each of the motor
cycle vans has a capacity OF 500
pounds.
This same arrangement is un6oubt-
eddy being made by other postmasters
who are now busy with the problem OF
parcel post delivery. The motorcycles
assures quicq and economical delivery
and thus has many qualifications for
this peculiar service.
Uncle Sam himself will also be ex-
perimenting soon with motorcycles in
the mail service, having asked for bids
on twenty-five machines. This expert
ment. however. does rot interfere with
arrangements which may be made by
individual postmas.ers who must
adopt the best possible means to IA
cilitate parcel post deliveries.
Harry E. Patterson. of Pittsburg. is
one of the latest to join the constantly
growing squad of motorcycle trans
continentalists.
He rode from Pittsburg TO Whittier.

being about 5000 miles.
Patterson was in the saddle So days,
making an average run of about 12S
miles per day His best days run was
