Use OF ACCESSORIES
PRESERVES OLD Tires
Goodyear Company's Expert Tells
How Automobiles May Cut
Yearly Repair Bills.
EXPERIMENT IS INTERESTING

Several instances have proved to INV
own satisfaction that the use of tire ac-
cessories saves tire expense" says L. C.
Rockhill, manager automobile tire de.
partment, the Goodrich Tire and Rubber
Company.
Mr.. Rockhill was recently in need of a
tire for his touring car. Instead of pur-
chasing new one he resolved to make
an experiment He went down to the
factory and from a pile of old returned
tires picked one that had been sent in
by a branch and had been replaced
for SO. The inspection OF the tire ad-
tuster read as follows:
Side walls weakened. due to underin-
fation. Fabric broken and blown our
due to shock. Customer will not stand
for repair"
Mr.. Rockhin took it to the garape
where he had a blowout patch inserted.
and an inside tire protector The tube
was then inserted and the tire was
placed on the machine.
After the tire had given 1000 miles of
service the tread became worn, SO n
was not deemed safe to run IL longer.
All this additional mileage cost him in
tire expense was the cost of the acces-
sories and the accessories themselves
were in good condition at the finish and
could be used in other tires.
This is just an illustration that shows
the amount of tire mileage that is being
thrown away by automobile owners
every day." says Mr.. Rockhill, because
they do not understand the value Of the
different tire accessories.

CYCLECARS feature
OF new YORK SHOW
Exhibition in Grand Crystal Palace
January 3 to 10 Will Bring
Out New Models.
GENERAL MEETING MAY BE HELD

The initial appearance of cyclecars as
a part of a motorcar exhibition will be
made at the national automobile show
which is to be held in the Grand Central
Palace, New York City, January to TO-
under the auspices of the Automobile
Chamber of Commerce. 1t will be the
first collective exhibition Of cyclecars ever
held in this country, and the display
will be representative of the industry
which is yet in its swaddling clothes.
Not only will complete cars be shown at
the Palace. but there will be also a big
display of parts, motors and accessories
for this type OF vehicle. In all there
will be forty-eight exhibitors, whose
PRODUCTS will be of interest to followers
of cyclecars. OF this number three will
be complete exhibits OF cycIecars of the
following makes: Comedian. Lamox, and
Twombly.
In all probability there will be several
additional cyclecar makers added to the
list of exhibitors before the show opens.
A number of makers have asked for
space, but have been unable to produce
the type that they wish to display at
the show. Some of the cyclecar makers
are holding back until they have per-
fected their output Many state that they
will exhibit at the 1915 motorcar show,
The cyclecar is a miniature automo-
bile reduced to its simplest form, weigh
ing less than $50 pounds and fitted with a
light motor. Its general appearance and
construction is similar to an automobile.
A movement is Cn foot among the
cyclecar makers to form an organization
for the purpose of developing the indus
try and promoting its welfare. 1t is ex-
pected that a general meeting of the
manufacturers for this purpose will be
held in New York during show week

ENGINE ATTACHMENT
AFFECTS EASE OF CAR
T. Lamar jackson Discusses Value Of
Proper Placement Of Power
in Lessening Jolts,

Ease of riding is more affected by the
method OF attaching the engine and its
connections to the frame than is gen.
orally realized" said T. Lamar jackson,
local agent of the Stevens-Duryea-
IF the power plant is rigidly attached
and the car lurches because the wheels
on one side are raised higher than those
of the other, the lurch is aggravated by
the weight of the engine thrown violently
In the direction in which the car tips.
With flexible attachment, while the en-
gine moves with the chassis, Of course,
it swings on its three-point support and
holds its general position firmly, so not
only does it not exaggerate the motion
caused by uneven running, but on the
contrary helps to preserve the balance"
Continuing Mr.. Jackson said that the
engineering stan of the company un-
qualifiedly went on record that the three
point support, in addition to contributing
immeasurably to the comfort, gives fric-
ton, strain, power, and materially in
creases smoothness Of running, ease OF
riding, and length of life.
