LIGHT WEIGHT in
CAR DESIRABLE
mt Must Be Determined Scien-
tifically. Says Chalmers
Man

Prominent among those points most
generally discussed during the present
season. regarding the different phases
OF automobile construction, has been
weight. That weight in motor car
b not mere matter OF opinion. but
one mat should BIO scientifically de-
termined according to the work to be
done ty each part. Is the opinion OF
Geo. w. Durham, consulting engineer
OF the Chalmers Motor company.
As the designer Of the famous ChaL
mers Skies" Mr.. Durham IN recog-
nized as one OF the foremost automo-
bile engineers. While he is con.
sentative, cars OF his design have al
ways been leaders In important Inn
provements and noted for their good
second quality. simplicity and dur
ability.
There Is no doubt but that some
OF the builders have followed the lure
OF light weight too far" said Mr.. Dun
ham In q recent interview. The elm
nation OF superfiuous weight In unde-
n'ably good thing, but In the strug-
gle to seccre mere lightness. many
designers have gone TO extremes, re-
ducing the factors Of endurance and
stability beyond all reason.
IT seems foolish TO suppose that
any manufacturer puts extra weight
into his car when he can avoid It. In
the first place, the cost OF material n
the main item OF expense In produc.
Ing an automobile. Excessive use Of
IRE stees. bronze, brass and alum
mum simply as raw materials alone
brings up the manufacturing cost OF
Q car much more than one would real
Ire From the other viewpoint. II
seems 10 me preposterons to suppose
thar any manufacturer would wilfully
increase the gasoline consumption Of
his car or raise the cost Of tire main
tenance for his users by adding un-
necessary weight. especially when any
extra weight means an unnecessary
increase Of cost to the builder himself.
"A little analysis will show why
there Ii more weight In some cars
than In others. In the endeavor to
reduce the weight OF what are known
a. the large size light cars, every
piecc In the car has been cut to the
limit. reducing the thickness OF the
metal sheets. cutting down the diam
eter Of the rods, reducing the sections
OF the forgings and levers, even 60
ing 20 far az to cut the section Of the
wheei spokes and felloes and reducing
the bracing in the body to the narrow
est limit.
Il would be one of the first to
criticize q car which carries super
lous weight but I do maintain that
the weight Of the many parts that 90
into q motor car should be determined
scientifically. Every part should have
q suficient factor OF safety. II should
be inside large enough to guarantee
this factor Of safety. The art Of auto
mobile building II now old enough to
provide plenty Of experience and data
for comparison. There II now no fur
ther need to susss- the. necessary
strength Of various parts. II - al
ways possible to determine accurate
ly the experience to which each part

part to insure stability. safety and sat
isfaction. Carrying superfluous weight

from scientifically determined neces-
sary weight 10 positive menace"
