seIf-starters for Trucks.

Since the use of automatic starting
mechanisms on automobiles has be-
come general, there has been consid-
cradle discussion as to the advisability
Of equipping motor trucks and other
self-propelled Industrial vehicles with
them. The engineering department Of
a leading motor-truck company at
Lansing, Mich. recently conducted .
series of experiments with its new
1,500-pound delivery wagon. The
results show that q self-starter
will more than pay for itself by the
gasoline that 1t will save In the first
year. 1t is also said that the appara-
tus will prolong the. life Of the car,
because 1t eliminates the wear and
tear that goes on when the engine il
running free. As a.result of the tests,
the company has decided to equip all
OF its motor wagons with self-starters.

Motorcar Designed to Afford Pro-

PROOF AGAINST RIFLE FIRE
American Ingenuity Has Evolved
Truck Which Will Be Formidable
on the BattIefieId-Means Much
In the Campaign for
Preparedness.

The first unit Of the armored motor
car train recently presented to the
New York National Guard has been
constructed. The truck is of the two
ton worm-drive type, protected with
2,4O0 pounds Of armOr plate which is
proof against rifle fire at so yards.
Every portion Of the chassis is COM
pletely housed. The machine complete
weighs 9,052 pounds. 1t is equipped
with an electric lighting and starting
system, disappearing searchlight and
headlamps which are set close to the
ground SO that their rays cannot carry
far. The armament consists Of two
machine guns mounted on shielded tur-
rets. The drivers seat is placed as
low as those in racing cars so that the
occupant is given good protection and
is out of the way of the gunners. En-
trance to the car Is gained through a
door at the rear. There Is no roof.
The streamline steel body is designed
in four parts: The hood, cab and two
rear portions. the latter being capable
of removal when it is wished to trans
port supplies on the platform. The
crank case and radiator are both well
protected with armOr, while the hood
Is SO hinged that ready access is given
to the motor. The wheels are made of
wood and armored with steel disks,
those in the rear also being half COW
cred by the sides Of the car. A port
hole is provided in each side Of the
drivers cab, two in both sides of the
body. and one at the rear. 1t is under
stood that essentially the same body
design will be used on the other ma
chimes for the guard.-POpular Me-
