gan that it is possible to keep a
modern car running almost indef-
nitely by renewing parts as they
wear out. This was not the object
of the King Motor Car Company in
conducting the present test. The
desire of this instance was to demon
strate to the motoring public that
the King car could be run for a
mileage greater than the average
motorist puts behind him in two
years without any replacement of
parts or more than ordinary adjust
ments. This end was easily accom-
plished.
Some brief mention of the Specifi-
cations and equipment of the car
which performed this remarkable
feat will be interesting. The vehicle
was King registered stock, seven
passenger touring car, with a l20-
inch wheelbase. The tire equipment
was Firestone 34x4-inch castings and
tubes. non-skid treads being used in
the rear. II was fitted with an At
water-Kent ignition system and
Champion, Toledo-made spark plugs.
\ Ball e. Ball carburetor was fed
rom Carter gravity tank. Ward
Leonard starting and lighting equip
ment was used with Willard $50
battery. The weight of the car with
two passengers and $50 pounds of
sand on board tipped the beam at
$500 pounds.
Since the time lost in stops totalled
l4l2 hours out Of the grand total of
336 hours. the average speed of the
car was over 35.5 miles per hour for
l0.s50 miles. During the running
the car consumed about 80 quarts Of
OIL, an aver age of about 1850 miles
of running a gallon.
Stops made during the test for
supplies and changes Of crews con
sumed l4i2 hours. Obviously. then.
in two years running an owner would
have 10 consume this amount of time
IN the maintenance of his car. but
much of the time lost in changing
crews and in delays due TO exhaus-
ton of the pit men would have no
analogy in private operation, so that
the figures quoted are in extremely
generous allowance.
