MILFORD SETS RECORD
AS ENDURANCE DRIVER
Drives 1879 Miles in Twenty-Four
Housekeeping Wheel All
the While.

When Ralph milford broke the TWEEN
ty-four-hour record last week on the
track at Sheepshead Bay, l.. l., he not
only clipped o3s miles off the record es-
| t. blished by S. F. Edge on the Brook
land. England, track nine years ago.
but set up a new record as an endur-
ance driver. He drove 1919 miles in
, the twenty -four hours himself, without
any relief driver, and averaged IS 1924
miles an hour. He drove the same
Hudson super six in which he covered a
mile in 35.11 seconds. or at the rate
of 102.22 miles per hour, at Ormond
Beach. Fla, a few weeks ago. The
former record for twenty-four hours
was made in an English six-cylinder
Napier car.
The trial was on official one. as it
was sanctioned by the American
Automobile Association. and their
representatives acted as tuners
and judges Incidentally. Mulford's
was the fastest sustained long distance
fight made by man on air. land or
water. He started his attack against
old Father Time a 6:04.46 in the even
ing, and at the end of the first hour
had covered seventy seven miles. All
through the night he drove by the aid
of the cars own electric system as
sisted by the searchlights on some OF
the touring cars placed on the runs
averaging about seventyseven miles
an hour. or about eleven miles faster
than Edges time.
He stopped every $50 miles for gaso-
line and oil. His only other stops were
made after he had covered 1870 miles.
when he changed the left rear tire. as
it seemed slightly worn. Another stop
was made later TO clean some dirt out
of his carburetor and again to change
the spark plugs his motor.
After covering - miles in the first
hour milford covered 500 miles in S1a
hours. 923l2 miles in 3 hours. When
he was 124iz miles ahead of Edges
record he had covered !. 900 miles in a
trife less than ~ hours. He kept up
his work, and shortly before o'clock
the next afternoon passed Edges rec
ord OF 58l miles and finished a t 6:04:46
with a record of ,s19 miles.

ing to compensate for the difference IN
pressure caused by increase in tenn
perature of the tire through lower in
fation in the summer time than would
be caused by such increase IN pressure
itself This increase is so slight that 1t
need not be taken into consideration.
1t is almost negligible from the view
point of the car owner.
The tensile strength of single layer
of 1114 ounce sea island fabric is ap-
proximately $50 pounds to the square
inch. In a fve-inch tire, where seven
LAYERS of fabric are used, the tensile
strength of the carcass is in excess OF
1000 pounds to the square inch, and in
perfectly built tire it would require
this amount of hydraulic pressure to
blow it out.
Experiments along this line nave
been conducted in which more than
1000 pounds of air have been placed in
a tire and the iron rim itself has given
away before the tire, and the hydraulic
pumps have broken down before the
pressure in the tire being subjected to
the tests has given away.

Thumb Method a Convenience.

True enough there is very conven-
lent rule of thumb method by which the
infiat ton pressure can be determined
with fair accuracy for any tire under
ordinary loads. This method is one
that is more widely known than OBJ
served. It is as follows:
Pump the tires to twenty pounds for
each inch of cross-sectionaI diameter.
That is. four-inch tire, eighty pounds,
and
While this is good general rule, il
cannot be relied upon to give sufficient
imitation, on the one hand. when very
heavy loads are carried, nor sufficient
easy riding. on the other hand when
the car is overtired or the weight per
tire is considera bly, under the normal
The pressure to which a tire should
be inflated depends upon the maximum
alloWa BILE DETECTION of the tire under
load. that is. the degree to which it
fattens out at its point of contact with
the ground This detection varies di =
rectly as the load carried and inversely
s the pressure within the tire. That
is, the greater the load the greater the
DETECTION with the same pressure and
the greater the pressure the less the
DETECTION with the same load.

NEW AUTO RECORD is
MADE IN CALIFORNIA
Round Trip Los Angeles to Bakers
field, 26O Miles, Negotiated in
5 Hours and 40 Minutes.

Word has been received in this city
announcing another California achieve
ment in the automobile world, when
the round trip between Los Angeles
and Bakersfield was negotiated in 5
hours 30 minutes for the $50 miles.
The new record was hung up by an
eight-cylnder Cadillac. The former
record was held by a twelve cylinder
car, over the same route. the time,
however, being l hour and "a minutes
slower.
This new record follows closely a
number of victories recently won by
this make car.
Repeatedly. in various parts of the
country stock models of the Cadillac
eight have set fast road records, racing
against time and against railroad
trains. over dangerous mountain roads
and. level plain One of the early
achievements was last June, when one
of these ears was driven from Los An
geIes to San Francisco in competition
with the Southern Pacifics fastest
train between the two cities, known as
the Lark Most of the Cadillac's trip
of 49, miles was made in the dark, at
an average speed of better than forty
miles per hour over dangerous noun
tain roads. The train was beaten by a
/
Soon afterward came word of the
cars feat in beating by almost two
hours the time over the l25 miles from
Butte to Missoula, Mont, in the Yellow
stone Trail relay run. This distance
was made in 3 hours and - minutes,
at average speed of 22.3 miles an
hour. a against the best previous mo-
tor car record of ) hours 40 minutes
In quick succession followed the race
from Denver to Cheyenne between a
Union Pacific special train and a Cad
lilac eight, the train travelling 1l2
miles TO the Cadlllac's 1l6 miles. New
ertheless the car arrived two minutes
before the train, having averaged
about fifty miles an hour to make the
run in hours / ? minutes.
Next. Indiana came in with the usual
result-fast train beaten by Cadillac
eight. This was between Indianapolis
and Terre Haute. the car making the
seventy-two miles in - minutes
against 81 minutes for the train.
Opposed to all these records of high
speed is the slow speed, high gear test
of Cadillac eight in Seattle. Wash.
There the car averaged Sc miles per
hour for LII feet. requiring minutes
10 seconds to cover the distance
The car carried five passengers, and the
driver left his seat and walked back
ward ahead of it for an entire block.

Basis of Imitation Ia bles.

Consequently, within limits il is pos
shle 10 make up for increased load by
increasing the air pressure. This is the
basis upon which most of the tire In
1ation tables are written. For certain
specified loads a given tire must have
"a certain specified pressure.
Instead of determining by tests the
proper tire imitation for given load
and leaving to the owner to determine
the load on the tire for himself and
then find from the table the proper
pressure to prevent detection, the
Goodrich company has developed an
instrument which it calls tire caliper
by which the owner read the de
Election directly and thus initiate the
tire to A point at which il shows the
allowable DETECTION when the caliper
is applied.
This. then. takes the place of the
load on the tire, the tire table to de-
termine the proper imitation and the air
pressure gauge to make sure that the
proper initiation is obtained.
In the matter of tire gauges they ca
be considered quite reliable If properly
cared for. Whether not the tire
gauge which is used by every Tom.
Dick ana Harry that avails himself of
the garages air system is relia BILE in
every instance is questionable. To be
on the safe side the owner should car
~ his own tire gauge and should keep
the stem free from dirt. The occasion
al checking up with other gauges is
recommended. 1t pays to buy rather
good gauge, some Of the cheapest
/ ones are not likely always to be uni
form in their reading.

Air Pressure Considered.

The owner inevita bly, has the ques-

not too great pressure to give easy
riding on the other hand and motor
lists are prone to allow their tires to
run a little bit under the proper pres

simply is utilizing his tire to perform
the functions that the springs and
shock absorbers should perform.
Tires are not meant to do this work.
Rubber and fabric cannot take the
place of steel. When the tire ca sing is

slight additional cost in the increased
mileage that may be obtained from

Views of Manufacturers Com

Automobile Operators.
SPECIAL STRESS PLACED
UPON THE AIR PRESSURE
Pumping-Up Process Considered in
Connection With Temperature
Changes and Other Conditions.

With the touring season now at hand
one of the important questions to be
studied is that of imitation of automo-
bile tires. One large tire manufacture
ing concern compares a motor car en-
CINE with the tire. making the point
that no engine is guaranteed to work
satisfactorily without sufficient oil. and
no tire. no matter how we'll made.
should be expected to give its best re-
suits or its proper mileage without
being pumped up to the proper
pressure. Air. il is claimed. is as neces-
sary fabrication is to motor service
In order to impress this need of inf1a
ton upon motorists and to get the ex
act status of what effect different
weather conditions have upon tire in
f1ation, Motor Age has asked a number
of tire manufacturers to submit their
views upon four questions.
Obtains Views Upon Four Questions.
These are:
/. What is the proper imitation
pressure for the various tire sizes?
=. What is the load per tire recon-
mended and the proper pressure of tires
under these loads?
3. Should the tires be carried a. less
pressure for a long drive on hot day
than is recommended for the tire on a
cold day? That is. is the increase in
pressure caused by increase in temper
ature sufficient to be taken into account
in determining the imitation pressure?
4. Are the tire gauges that the car
owner has to use in different garages
sufficiently accurate to be relied upon
What precautions should the owner
take to be sure he is getting the de-
sired imitation?
Tire manufacturers have responded
very willingly in answering these ques-
tons and they are almost a unit in
their appreciation Of the opportunity to
assist in the dispensing of the tire in
fation gospel. The one fact that is
brought out most forcibIy is that the
weight on the tire is chief factor in
determining its proper imitation pres
sure. The motorist must take the load
on his tires into consideration when de-
termining the pressure to which they
are to be pumped up rather than en-
deavoring to keep them to any definite
pressure regardless of the weight car
