War Shows dood Service
Of Chain Driven Trucks

Tho war In Europe has demonstrated
that motor trucks OF the chain-driven
type give highly satisfactory service
at low cost for upkeep and repairs.
The lighter weight trucks, many OF
which were constructed on the chassis
originally designed for pleasure cars.
proved too light for the service that
was required OF them. First. because
the chassis was too light, and, second.
because the gear ratio was too high.
In order to overcome this Difficulty
form OF auxiliary rear construction was
designed equipped with q frame that
was capable OF being bolted directly 10
the original chassis OF the car.
The rear wheels OF the light car were
removed from their axles and the
aprocket wheel attached in their place.
From this sprocket a roller chain ex-
tends backward to large sprocket
wheels on the rear wheels OF the at
tachment, and are used for driving
purposes. BY this method the rear
axle OF the light truck becomes a. Jack
shaft from which power Is transmitted
to the driving wheels. This compina-
ton Increases the carrying capacity or
tho truck from 750 to 1000 pounds, while
tho driving power is more than doubled.

transmission, and engine.
1t only takes few hours to make
the change from a light, low-capacity
car to a one-ton truck, with n l3-inch
wheel base. Numbers of low-price de-
livery trucks have been changed n
this manner and are giving service

MILLION PEOPLE NOW
OPERATE OWN CARS

Official figures show that close TO
10000 motor cars were licensed IN this
country in 1915. and II is conservatively
estimated that at least 100000 per-
sons are driving their own cars this
year.

II Is q condition which means a ten

In this connection I. Is interesting to

Until persons on foot realize that
absolute safety lies only in crossing
