The frame of the modern pas
senger motor car is usually so I'M
complaining in its performance OF
the strenuous duties assigned TO
it in the cars economy, that the
average owner may practically be
said to know nothing about It. 1t
is the parts of the mechanism that
give trouble that we learn to
know best. The frame gives COM
paratively little trouble and con-
sequently we take 1t for granted
and let it go at that.
As a matter of fact. a poorly
designed frame may easily throw
out the mechanical balance OF
the entire mechanism. A frame
constructed of poor materials will
sag after some service, causing no
end of trouble. If the car is made
too light to support the load on 1t
the same sort OF trouble will de-
velop. Some manufacturers in~the
past have tried to cut down ex-
penses on the frames used in their
cars. The result has been that
the structure cracked at the joints.
developed saggIng. squeaks were
numerous and vociferous, the door
fell out of line, and the whole
body work suffered, and in some
cases went to pieces, all as a re-
suit Of a penny-wise policy of saw
ing a little in frame cost.
During the past few years there
has been a distinct tendency to
progress in frame design and con-
struction. Not many years ago
every car manufacturer. no mat
ter how much care he might be-
stow on the rest of his vehicle,
how much individuality he might
achieve, considered 1t perfectly
satisfactory to buy the frames
from a parts maker. Now many
of the leading companies are turn
ing out their own frames, and a
number of new designs have been
developed and the ordinary motor
car owner ought TO know some
thing about what is occurring.
Until very recently it was con-
sidered an axiom that the frame Of
the car must be flexible, must be
able to yield to the twisting stresses
set up in the course OF travel over
all sorts OF roads. Today there are
a number OF prominent manufac-
turers using rigid frames of their
own design, which are giving ev-
cry satisfaction after the most
searching tests in ordinary travel
in the hands of thousands of pri-
waite owners. There is no question
that the rigid frame has come to
stay. though II may never entirely
displace the flexible construction.
There used to be another classi-
fication for car frames. as to
whether they were underslung or
overslung. That means whether
the frame is located above or be-
low the axle. The underslung
frame, however. has passed on and
there is not a single model using IL
in manufacture today.
The material employed in the
construction of most car frames is

TRUCK OVERLOAD
CURBSE EFFICIENCY

Overlooking the truck Is equivalent
to overlooking the motor. because the
motor is designed to produce power
equivalent to the performance OF the
truck with a normal load. This shows
plainly that IL the truck is overloaded

as well as higher gssolene consump-
ton, MUST be expected.
With the axles. wear and greater
resistance, caused by excess weight,
forces the wheels into the ground.
When the power is turned on. the diff
ferential gears are subjected to
greater stress to move the excess
weight Thus we can see that when
the load Is too far in excess, the driv-
ing EFFORT on the axles will also be
excessive.
Elastic Limit.
With the frame built to hold a GER
tain tonnage, an overload is bound to
cause a detection each time it is so
overloaded. II the elastic limit is
overstepped continually, the frame
will ventually break.
1t must not be forgotten that the
motor truck is built to perform a
certain service the same as any other
common carrier. was recently talk
ing with a driver of a motor truck
which I knew had been in commits
sion for q considerable number Of
years, I asked the driver how It was
that the truck was in such good con-
dition, and he answered: Because IL

get anything out OF them. They were
always in the repair shop, and when
they were in commission 1 was con-
tinually forced to shift gears on
grades that they should have taken
on high with ease. I had to be over
careful in rounding corners for fear
that q sudden Jolt or slight shifting
of weight would prove the breaking
point to the axles or frame. I was
never sure of reaching my destina-
ton without having to stop and
tighten up the bolts, and Instead OF

Ey knowing this beforehand, in load

so that when entirely loaded, there is
a minimum amount of waste space be-
tween the different cases. This not

weight, but makes the load more
compact and less liable to slide about
while in transit.

BY G. A KISSEL.


Motor truck owners and drivers in
helping to relieve the railroads OF
short hauls by employing trucks for
freighting purposes are apt to over
load them in their enthusiasm and de.
sire to haul as many tons per load as
possible.
The promptness with which inter
city and interstate motor truck trans
portation companies, return loads bu-
reaus, etc, were formed, is proof OF
Americas truck owners and drivers
patriotism 1t cannot be estimated at
this time how many hundreds OF thou
sands of tons of goods motor truck
owners have helped the railroads to
move, but that the amount is consider.
able, can be proven in most every city
where the motor truck has been
brought into play for this purpose.
But, with the growing scarcity OF
help in garages, due to the mobiliza-
zion of the country's mechanics and
expert automobile men to keep the
Governments trucks and service sta
tioHs going full speed, 1t has now be-
come just as patriotic for owners to
keep their trucks out OF repair shops
by not overlooking them as to keep
them in constant service.
increases the Cost.
Overlooking a motor truck not only
results in excessive strains and a
greatly accelerated rate of deprecia-
ton, but in unnecessary high main
tenance cost
Overlooking affects frame, springs,
wheels, axles, tires, power plant and
even the driving mechanism, and
while the truck is designed with a
certain factor of safety, this factor
was intended merely for emergencies,
and not for continuous and continual
abuse.
Overlooking means motor truck sui
eide. While IL is true that the IA
tigue OF steel is much slower than
that of flesh tissues, the fatigue is
there just the same.
The first bad effect on the motor
truck from overlooking is that the
springs are forced down to a fiatten-
ed position. This practice, II kept
up, reduces their fexibility, resulting
in the springs losing their life and
becoming inactive, like a solid bar
of steel or iron.
Greater tire wear Is another result
of overlooking. The heavier the load
the harder the tires are forced against
the road or pavement, causing great
er friction and wear. Truck tires are
guaranteed for so many miles. The
tire manufacturers base their guaran-
teed mileage on the fixed weight a
certain size tire is built to carry.
Thus a tire that is carrying an over
load cannot possess the mileage of
the tire which is carrying the rated
load.
