TRUCK PIONEER
TALKS0F MOTORS
Development of These Vehicles
Greater Than That of
Locomotives.

T. G. Shumard chief engineer of tho
United States Motor Truck company
Of Cincinnati. started In a small way
to develop and perfect motor car II
years ago II was five years later that
people of Cincinnati were surprised 10
see wagons with heavy loads travelling
thru the city streets without horses.
People OF today can hardly realize
problems that had to he solved by
those OF us In the mechanical world
In 1900 and in later years said Mr..
Shumard THE motor car Of today Is
more intricate than the finest ral-
road locomotive and is vastly the SUI
pcrior of the locomotive in perform
nncc
ut will travel faster on the road anl
longer than any railroad engine has
ever travelled on "a smooth track. All
this development coming within -
years should cause amazoment II
must bc recalled that II took nearly
one hundred years to perfect the rail-
road locomotive as wa see IL today.
Sull this machine can only he op-
Grated by "a skilled engineer and that
after years of training.
This is not all-the finest locomo-
tive Of today is only allowed 10 run
from eighty to l25 miles when 1t
must bc sent to the shop 10 undergo
u thoro inspection. cleaning and ad-
usting. The motor truck in hard use
should receive at least one-half the re-
spcct, care and skill in handling that
is given the locomotive Provided
the attention thus given to the loco
motive pays. it is reasonable to believe
that "a motor truck operated by
skilled driver who Is thoroly familiar
with its mechanism, because his
knowledge can save rapid wear aud
broakage of parts, would be of greater
profit to the owner.
Motor trucks are too often sent ou.
with incapable drivers, who oVerspeeG,
overload. fail to adjust parts and -
| tighten bolts as required who waste
gasoline and misuse the throttle ana
spark control while running. Capable
drivers should be employed and such
would save the extra wages In gasn-
line, wear ana tear oiling, adjusting
and cleaning and in many other ways.
With successful driving there is a sure
profit on the investment made In \

Gns For Motorcyclcs.

The shortage of petrol, as gasoline

The prevailing idea seems TO be

Altho wood Is still the most favored
material for wheels and for body
frames, ii is not possessed of the last

there is more metal and less wood
employed. In body work there are
two substitutes for the wood frame
the cast aluminium body and the
pressed steel welded body. The former
Is good and expensive. the latter is
good and cheap. The aluminium
body has more solidity, is stronger
and more rigid, the present steel con-

cost advantage over the wood and

sort today.
