TRUCKS should
NOT Be SPEEDED

Speeding is probably the greatest
crime that can be perpetrated upon
an innocent truck If a truck IS moved
along the road at 10 miles per hour
under full load, it is more than like
lv that il will continue to do so for
very long time without exhibiting
undue weakness at any point. But u
a truck is driven without any load az
20 miles per hour, remembering that
the truck weighs more or less than
60 per cent. Of the gross rated load,
II is certainty that the truck will
wear out long before it pays for ~
4 self in service. II is not believed thai
/ the average driver fully understands
how detrimental II is to the life Of 2
Z truck to drive it at high speed wher
4 it is empty. The energy stored in 9
I moving mass responds to the rule
which may for convenience be.cXpress-
( cd as follows:
The energy stored in moving mass
/ IS proportional TO the weight in
pounds. In other words. IL the speed
is doubled. the strain is multiplied by
four and the life of all parts mater
tally diminished.

CARE OF COMMUTATOR BRUSHES.

When the commutator brushes Of a
generator become worn slightly and
unevenly, so as to cause arcing, the
brushes should be filed so as to make
good contact with the commutator. A
small magnetic file can be used for
this purpose Should the commutator
itself be dirty, hold a piece of fine
sandpaper against IL while the genera
tor armature is revolving. A mistake
often made in adjusting the brushes
is that the springs are stretched too
much, causing the brushes to heat up
rapidly because of excessive friction.
This causes rapid wear. The brushes
should be set so as to just touch the
commutator lightly and yet not too
much so as to cause poor contact
