Headlight Illumination.

At Detroit this week the electrical
equipment division will report on the
proper limitation of headlight illumi-
nation in cities. In several of the cities
ordinances have been passed defining
permissible glare" of headlights. The
S. A. E. committee will attempt to set
forth the conditions of proper car illu-
mination, particularly on the relatively
dark streets and parks found in many
of the large cities. Tests will be made
of some of the dimming shading and
screening devices now on the market
as illustrating the principles under
consideration.
1t is also the intention to refine fur
Their the standards of bulb bases, SOCK
cts and connector plugs for the sake
of better interchangeabilitya and con-
sequent improved operation. In addi-
ton, the possibility of standardzing
| the arrangement of engines for at
| taching starting motors will be taken
up.
With regard to international stand
| ards of pneumatic and solid tires, the
| question is commercial well as
| engineering one. 1t is not however,
| more commercial than many other

all standards is commercial. There are
| two kinds of formulas, the fundamental

! the empirical, which is based on the
| average current practice. 1t is posi-
| BILE to establish either fundamental or

than we Americans used.

Form Fitting Upholstery Preferred.

1t required several years for body
builders to learn that automobile COM
fort was to be attained not SO much
by deep cushions as by upholstery of
the form fitting kind. Even yet many
designers seem to be of the opinion
that bodily ease is assured by the
selection of d certain angle for the
seat or Il definite bulge in the back. VI
the two methods, the automatic shap-
ing of the deeply sprung cushion to the
passengers shape would seem to be
the more promising. but experience
shows that upholstery may yield too
much for ultimate comfort. though al

Tire Question Proper Subject.

The Society of Automobile Engineers
has been extraordinarily successful in
establishing empirical standards The
international tire question is so com
plicated and of such Importance that it
seems a proper subject for fundamen-
tai treatment; in fact, it is likely that
here only fundamental standard has
any chance of world wide adoption.
New data are expected from the iron
and steel division on the physical prop
critics of S. A. f. alloy steels as well
as further recomme ndations as to spe-
cifications of steel castings and the va
nadium minimum limit in vanadium
steels. 1t has been suggested that a
standard tooth form for silent chains
be adopted. The Importance of this is
realized by car manufacturers using
more than one make of chain. AS it is
now it is absolutely necessary for them
to have differently cut sprockets for
each make OF chain to get proper re-
suits. 1t would be of great advantage
if the chain makers would adopt some
standard. and a report as to the feast
bility of doing this VIII be made at the
coming meeting of the $. A. T. stand
ards committee.

Widely and Vital Matters to
Trade Simplified.

At it's meeting to be held in Detroit

gineers' standards committee, which
consists of about $50 automobile and
automobile parts designers and pro-
ducers. eleven of the fourteen divisions
or sub committees will make reports or
submit communications formulated at
meetings held prior to the meeting of
the whole committee.
The recommended practices and
standards of the Society of Automobile
Engineers are said to have been of in
calculable benefit to the automobile
industry at large. They reduce and
simplify labor. the work in the engi-
neering department being safer and
more rapid They help in the purchas-
ing and assembling departments, as
well as in the designing department
The use of the standards is, naturally,
extending very widely.
