There was a time when it was claimed
that the longer the wheelbase of the car
the easier riding it would be. This fall
lacy has been explained by the Society
of Automobile Engineers. who are the
last word on motor car construction. Ac-
Cording to their way of thinking three
factors are primarily responsible for
riding quality, the inspiring weight, or
the weight of those parts below the
springs, as wheels and axles, the
sprung weight, or the weight of these
parts above the springs, and the weight
of the springs. !. e., the pounds pres
sure exerted per inch Of detection which
determines the fiexibility. In general
the less weight Of parts below the springs
IN comparison with that above, the easier
the car will ride.
There is a reason for the fact that
long wheelbase has been considered
necessary for easy riding. BY making
the wheelbase long the size of the body
was increased and in this manner the
ratio Of sprung to inspiring weight was
increased.
