WAR TRUCK ISA
BIC TRIUMPH
Production Records Broken
on Army Vehicle; Many
Engineers Assist.

Setting a record in American pro-
Cuction, the new war truck has been
completed ahead OF schedule and the
sensational feat OF the Liberty avia-
ton motor has been eQualed 4 not &C
tually outdone. The first two trucks.
assembled from parts made IN a score
OF scattered plants and representing
the contributions OF the best brains OF
the truck industry, are in successful
operation.
These ''Har trucks are doing on
the road JUS. what they we designed
60 do on the drafting boards. Despite
the fact that there Vas blending OF
hundreds OF thoughts into one. the
truck, in Its completion Built 10 carry
a normal load Of three tons and cap
able OF hauling five. the trucks have
exceeded the expectations OF not only
Gen. Clancy 3. Baker, Of the
quartermast department, which has
directed the work, but also Of the
Two score Of engineers and hundreds
o. craftsmen VINO worked on the de-
sign IN this city
Early tests OF the engine showed
50 horsepower AZ 1880 revolutions per
minute and the engine tOrque cur1 q
is better than anticipated.
Il is now assured that the United
states heavy duty war truck IS one
OF the greatest engineering successes
Of the var. and that IL is destined TO
revolutiC1ize army truck work so far
as operation. and maintenance are
concerned. and that the truck viii
play a large part in affecting truck
design in commercial circles.
That the war department, as well as
the members OF the Society OF Auto
mobile Engineers who cOODerate1 in
the design work are convinced that
the truck Is right IS shown by the
fact that orders for 10000
parts fOr the truck have already been
placed. these including engines, aZles
and other parts
These orders have been widely
placed over the Industry. three or
receiving orders for each Of the DIFF
ferent parts.
Now that the war truck" as Il has
been christened, IS a reality. the her
culean work Of the 40 or more S. \ Z
members who developed the design
under the direction Of Capt ". N
Britton, stands out in strong relief
The work Of speedy cooperation that
Characterized the production Of the
Liberty aviation engine has been
equaled IN the case Of the war truck.
In spite Of the fact that a great num-
Der OF interests were involved IN the
building OF the truck. making COM
promises in design more difficult
great unanimity Of feeling among
those participating makes the result
the more remarkable, and II anything
more unusual than the performance
OF the relatively few engineers en-
gagged IN the case OF the Liberty air
plane engine.
