The Atlantic Fleet uses Philadel-
phia as a base and is one of the six
units in different parts of the country
which are making exhaustive tests OF
the endurance OF Goodrich Tires on
all sorts of roads.
Cars of every type, from the light
est to the heaviest, are represented
in the squadron, thereby tests of all
size tires are made This squadron Of
cars has nothing to do but wear out
tires. The fleet is captained by H. H.
Brown, of the Akron Factory, accom-
panied by Mr.. T. D. Brewster repre-
senting the B. F. Goodrich Rubber
Company in this vicinity.
The orders under which the test
cars work require that the cars must
run for eight consecutive hours day
after day until the tires are literally
torn to pieces. In other words, they
are not to be replaced by other cas-
es until they are completely worn
out
In former years the Goodrich Test
Car Fleets have been operating daily
over the roads in the vicinity of Ak
ron. Information obtained from these
Test Cars, although of great value,
was not complete in view of the fact
that road conditions around Akron
were not the same as those around
Westminster, or in the Middle west
ern states, and were again entirely
different from Arizona and New Mex
leo, and there we're still other prob
lens to be met with in Pennsylvania
and other Atlantic Coast States.
The B. F. Goodrich Company, there
fore, decided to test out the actual en-
durance of Goodrich Fabric and Sill
vertOwn Tires in connection with &C
tual road conditions so far as possible,
in every section of the United States.
There are, in all, fOrty-six cars of
different makes and types testing
out Goodrich Fabric and Silvertown
Tires on all sorts of roads and, so
far as possible, under normal work
ing conditions such as a tourist
would encounter Every day the tires
are carefully inspected and these rec
Ords are sent to the Goodrich Lab
ratOries at Akron, Ohio. The develop
ment department Of the factory has
found the information received from
the actual road testing of tires inval-
liable in manufacturing better tires
for motorists in this section.
