HOW TRUCK SUFFERS
FROM Overlooking
BY ]. j. HAAS,
Firestone Tire and Rubber Company.

Firestone Tire and Rubber Company.
A. q factor OF safety. trucks are con-
structed with Is per cent to 70 per cent
reserve strength. All manufacturers
place a metal plate on the chaissis
frame or In a conspicuous place near
the drivers seat. with a caution that
overlooking is detrimental to the truck,
and that loading beyond rated capacity
will void the guarantee. Demonstrations
and extravaganza claims Of some truck
salesmen may be largely responsible for
the overlooking abuse.
Overlooking affects truck frame.
springs. axles. axle bearings. wheels,
power plant, clutch. driving mechanism
and tires. Its results are various. as IN
dicated below:
FRAME-The frame Of truck IL
intended to carry a specific load. and
when subjected TO excessive weight.
the steel will take permanent set
after having reached It's elastic limit
and will not then recover to It's
original structure: It will be more
susceptible to fractures.
SPRINGS-If springs are heavy
enough to care for considerable over
lead. they will be too stiff when the
truck carries normal load. II. there's
fore follows that springs designed
for q specific load Will, when over
loaded, be subjected TO more shocks
and the steel will be affected. After
being overstrained In this manner.
the springs will not absorb road
shocks or cushion the truck with the
same degree of efficiency a. intended
by the manufacturer.
AxLES-Road bumps which are
not absorbed by over strained springs
will affect front and rear axles and
other members Of the truck, eventual
ly resulting In capitalization and
breakage.
MISUNDERSTANDING loads on
frames and springs will injure the
wheels; they are liable to become

DEBT LIMIT BARS CITY
IN BUYING GAS PLANT

Timber Lake, s. D., March 81.
carrying on a convincing campaign. the
faction wishing the city to purchase the
local gas plant came up against blank
wall and can find no way to get around
It. The state constitution provides that
the debt Of any city shall not exceed
s per cent Of the assessed valuation of
the taxable property therein. The last
assessment shows Rapid City's valua-
ton to be S4,637, 092 and, as the present
debt is $229, 1857, 1t is within $4,000 Of
the limit. The petition to the city COM
missioners, asking that the matter Of
purchasing the gas plant be put to a
vote of the people at the coming city
election, asked for the authorization Of
q bond issue of $4,000 for the pur-
chase. The commissioners were unable
to accept the petition on account Of the
financial handicap.
