HALF mile SPEEDWAY TO
TEST DODGE Bros CARS
Solidly Constructed Banked Track
Unique Addition to Testing Equip
ment at Big Detroit Plant; Steel
Test Hill Also to Be Built

Decidedly unique in design and con-
struction is the new half-mile speed
way and test-hill which is nearing COM
pletion on the grounds of Dodge Broth
ers, the big Detroit motor car manu-
facturers. Built to take care of testing
operations on the rapidly increasing
daily production of cars, Dodge Broth
ers' new test track has all the per-
manence of the speedway built for hip
podrome performances.
When finished within the next
thirty days, over 215,000 feet of lum-
ber will have gone into the construc-
tion of the new track. The speedway
is built on a foundation of clay and
cinders, banked at the turns to allow
high speed tests, and is surfaced with
fine grade of pine planking which
has been creosoted to afford a dust
less and smooth track As Dodge
Brothers production is rapidly ap-
preaching the 200-car- -per-day mark,
the new speedway bids fair to have
daily entry list far surprising that
of the Indianapolis Speedway on Me-
mortal Day.
The construction of the test hill in
the center of the speedway enclosure
is a striking example of bringing the
mountain to Mahomet AS practically
all the country in the vicinity of De-
troit is a fiat plain, the special advan-
tages of hill-testing are denied to
motor car makers. Dodge Brothers
very sensibly decided to provide an
artificial hill, and steel structure
542 feet long and 80 feet wide is al
ready under way. The steel hill has
two approaches with varying grades,
allowing testers to try out the climb
ing ability of the car on gradual and
steep ascents.
The speedway test is but one of
many given Dodge Brothers cars be-
fore being O.K.'d for shipment All
motors are first worked out under
electric power and then taken to the
gasoline bloek-testing room. Each mo-
tor must then produce a given amount
of power, on the dynamo meter before
it is turned over to the road workout.

5000 MILES IN 50 DAYS
Task FOR saxon ROADSTER
Schedule Of Car Over Boston and
Springfield Route Calls for 200
Mile-trip Each Day-Has Complet-
ed Halfway Mark

Covering 5000 miles in 80 days is
the task mapped out for the Saxon
roadster that is making a daily run
over the Boston and Springfield route.
The schedule of the car calls for a
2o0-mile round trip each day from Bos-
ton to Springfield and return via Wor-
cester.
From latest reports, this Saxon had
passed the halfway mark and was OPP
Grating as smoothly as the day it start.
ed the severe test
80 far as records show, no automobile
has ever attempted to cover so much
distance in the same length of time as
this 1896 car is making. 1t started
April l and is due to end its series of
trips on the night of April 80.
The run is being held simultaneously
with an endurance test that another
Saxon roadster is making between New
York and Albany along the Hudson riv-
er. The New York run is almost as
severe as the one being staged in New
England. 1t requires covering $500
miles, or $50 miles day for 80 days.
The best days record scored thus far
for the Boston and Springfield car was
when it completed one of its 200-mile
trips on six gallons of gasoline and two
and one-half quarts of oil. The fastest
trip it has scored was in making the
required distance in five hours and
fortyfive minutes of actual running
time. An average of better than thir-
ty miles on gallon of gasoline is be-
ing consistently maintained.
The car has encountered good deal
of bad weather that has made the roads
bad for touring, due to the fact that
the run is being held before the open
ing of the regular touring season.
Among other obstacles which the car
has encountered was a typical New
England snowstorm, which made the
roads muddy and rought practically all
the way.
G.. F. Lombard, who is plotting the
30day Saxon on it's rounds, reports
that the car is operating on schedule
with almost timetable regularity.
Driver Lombard starts from Boston
each morning at 'clock, reaches Wor-
cester at 9 and checks in at Springfield
at noon. At 2 O'Clock he sets out
edcH uay on the retuin "TRIP anu Sets
back to Boston before dark.
The car that is making the run is
a regular stock model. 1t was unloaded
from the freight car that took it to
Boston from the factory and carried
the standard equipment. On the panel
of the machine, directly under the seat,
is painted in white letters "6,000
miles in 80 days"
1t is expected that the results of
