European Export Man
ager Writes of
Autos in War

The Hupp Motor Car Co. Is lust
IN receipt Of a letter from John l..
Poole. Hupmobile export manager at
Paris, In which he tells OF the some
OF the terrific conditions under which
motor cars are forced to travel dur.
Ing war time.
Mr.. Poole arrived In France short
ly after the outbreak of the war. He
Immediately received a commission
from the French government to con.
stiuct a number of special armoured
Hupmobiles equipped to carry q IL
millimeter mitrailleuse battery for
rapid-fire work.
The success OF the HupmobR6s
was so great that the military au.
thorities placed an order for large
quantity. According to Poole ther
are now nearly 500 Hupmobiles in
use with the allied armies.
These armoured Hupmobiles, .
writes Poole from Paris, April s.
ARE used principally for reconnoit
ering work. When a detachment
wishes to ind out Just the exact
position OF the enemy on their front
one Of the Hupmobfle armoured

Hupmobiles are rushed out to cover
the enemy's front and impede their
advance until troops can be sent to

tured by the Consolidated Car com
pany OF Detroit - now on the mar
ket. the first shipments having been
made during the past week.
Preliminary announcements con-
corning this new contender for hun
ors In the field OF eights had already
been published and, considerable inr
terest was manifested owing to the
standing previously won, by Abbott
Detroit cars In the field OF fours and
skies where they have long enjoyed
an excellent reputation and a wide
popularity. The builders Of the new
eight therefore feel sure OF com
manding a respectful attention for
their newest and most advanced
product.
The new Abbott .s-44" is prae-
tically continuation Of the reliable
Abbott Model F, except that II EN-.
bodies the eightcyIinder principle
and includes many refinements. The
purpose OF the designers and buHd-
ers has been to endow 1t with the
same qualities of staunchness and
reliability that characterized the cid
er Abbott models which. az Abbott
owners know, had fiue reputation
for standing up" under long and
severe usage.
The most distinctive and import
ant feature Of the new Abbott eight
IL. of course. it's motor. This is a
special Abbott design built by the
Herschell-Spillman company for
whose work is claimed a refinement
and finish that suggests the perfec-
ticn OF the watch. The eight-cylinder
motor Is no experiment for the
Observation-Disclosures people. for they
have long specialized in the eight
cylinder aeroplane engine and are
said to turn out the best of this type

Nothing daunted. however. the pro

/. Right at the outset Mr.. Baker
discovered a prime prerequisite OF
the concrete road. II was a prere-
quisite that needs must be errectu.
ally met II the roads. In the large
sense were TO prove a success. The
need that Mr.. Baker q. once discoy'
cred was the necessit yof armorins
the edges Of the many seotions OF
which a concrete road is made up
To the. uninitiated Il deserves to
be explained that q concrete road
does not consist OF one, long, un.
jointed strip OF concrete.s running
through the land. Concrete high
ways have otbe built In sections In
order 10 provide for expansion and
contraction. such as Is occasioned
by heat and cold. and moro pro
nouncedly still, Il Is likely, by the
varying degrees of moisture which
the concrete takes up. or gives up,
under the varying conditions mat
from time to time prevail. One con-
tinuous strip Of concrete would be
wholly impractical. That such ID
the case, must be, apparent to every.
one who pauses TO consider.
But since the concrete road has TO
be built In sections how, could the
edges OF the various sections be pre-
served against the abrasive action
to which they were sure TO be con,
stantly subjected In even greater
degree than the other parts OF
the pavement This was Just the
question that Mr.. Baker had to face.
No one, nor no book. could tell him
how TO meet the problem. II was up
to him to devise an expedient that
would answer. and answer wen.
sfr. Baker met the problem above
outlined with a device that proved
successful. not alone In It's first ap-
plication. but has proven increas-
ingiy successful as concrete road
building has been so widely taken
up. since the success of the Wayne
county experiment In concrete
roads.
The way In which Mr.. Baker met
his problem was by what he terms
the armor plate device. In other
words. the various sections Of con-
crete roadway are armored against
wear at their edges by strip OF
steel that extends from curb TO
curb. This slip OF steel Is firmly
and permanently anchored to the
concrete nj the time OF binding the
road. and the steel and the con-
crete thereafter remain unit.
But not alone did Mr.. Baker show
great foresight, judgment and I'm
genuity I'm reinforcing the concrete
at its most vulnerable point. but he
devised a means of applying this
steel reinforcement that stiIl stands
10 his credit as road engineer. His
system Of installing the armored
joints In the concrete roadway CON
sists in a clamping device, extend.
ing rom curb TO curb. conforming

rigidly In place until the concrete
can be poured upNto Il. The clamp
may then be easily and quickly re.
moved,
Fxperience with the first strips
OF concrete armor steel has led to
some slight changes. such as bevel-
Ing the steel strip In a way to keep
the concrete and steel from separat-
ing, and also providing that the
wear Of the steel and concrete shall
90 on by equal stages: but. essen
TALLY. the idea H. the same as when
Mr.. Bater devised Il to meet a
need IN road building never before
encountered. !.
Mr.. Bakers success with the steel
armor strip for concrete roads led
him to devise other devices for ex.
pediting and safeguarding concrete
construction. He Is now manufac-
turing and Offering q system OF In
destructible side forms that greatly
facilitate concrete road building. He
has also devised q system Of indie
structible curb forms. The device
by which these forms are so easily
and firmly locked In place Is one Of
their chief recommendation. The
manner in which rigidity is SO cas-
lily and quickly obtained runs
through all OF Mr.. Bakers devices.
Other than the above devices.
which followed naturally after Mr..
Bakers first success with the steel
armor, plate device. he has also per-
fected an adjustable steel circle
form. which may be used on any
radius. These forms may be used
'interchangeably for plain curb build
Ing. curb and gutter. and on road
work. One OF the particular ad-
vantages OF this form IL that II 10
20 readily adapted TO the building
Of work on winding roadways. de-
sired SO commonly In parks and In
private grouns.
: Another invention Of Mr.. Bakers
is what he terms the Baker Auto
matte Finishing Machine. As the
name indicates. the machine Is used
to give the finish to concrete road
after the concrete IL in place and
formed TO the desired crown. This
work OF finishing the surface OF a
concrete road has heretofore been
largely accomplished by means Of
handIwielded. wooden floats. but the
Baker device has proved a great
labor saver. The Baker devices will
do very much for the standardisa-
ton OF concrete roads throughout
the county. The success OF con-
crete road building is in very large
degree attributable to Mr.. Baker.
