 EFFICIENCY RUN
Owners of Trucks Learned
 Importance Of Keeping Accurate Cost System To Keep Up Efficiency

Winners of s1oeo awards in the na- tional truck efficiency test conducted by the Packard Motor Car company are the What Cheer Chemical com pany of PaWtucket, R. l.; H. F. Cherigo and Sons of Baltimore, and w NJ Hoyt company of Chicago. Each of these firms was first in one of the three classes in the order named; class A representing 11s and 2ton trucks; class B, and 4-ton trucks, and Class c, , and 6-tonners.
 Second awards went to Edson, Moore and company Detroit; Salt Lake City Pressed Brick company, Salt Lake City, and Gottfried Krueger Brewing company, Newark, N. J.
 Third awards were won by Edson, Moore and company, Detroit; Harper & Wilz. Baltimore; H. F. Cherigo and Sons, Baltimore.
 Substantial prizes amounting to 1 s5.025 were awarded the winning drivers in the national test. In addi- tion to this sum, seven dealers put up prizes aggregating S3,625 for the driv- CTS making the best showing in their respective territories.
 The purpose of the test was primar fly to arouse practical response to the appeal for better trucking made by the Council of National Defense and the War Industries Board. and to dem onstrate on the road methods of get ting better results in motor truck l transportation.
 The test served also to impress on owners and drivers the importance oi keeping an accurate cost system, and | resulted in d widespread adoption o1 | the national standard forms, as per- fected by the Truck Owners Con- ference, Inc.
 All and even more than was hoped for came from the test. Its slogan Save a freight car for Uncle Sam.

K|ssEL TRUCK DOES
 STUNTS IN HAULING

An example of what a truck can accomplish in overland transportation is that of a trip a Kissel freighter truck made from Pocatelo Idaho, to Salt Lake City, Utah, loaded with 7,S00 pounds of household furniture" says c. H. Reubens, local Kissel distribu- tor. Tt is just such performances as this which makes me believe more than ever that the motor truck is here to stay in the transfer of freight. Ac- cording to figures now in my posses sion, this truck covered 186 miles in 15 hours running time, which I un- derstand is as good, if not better, than the time usually made by the local freight trains.
 The consumption of lubricating oil was F quarts and the gasoline used amounted to 1512 gallons. or practi- cally 1219 miles to the gallon. During the trip no trouble whatever was en- countered and within IF hours after reaching Salt Lake, the truck was un- loaded and reloaded with a capacity load for the return trip.
 When it is considered that on this particular trip the goods were only handled twice. loading on to the truck and unloading at destination, as com = pared with six handlings that would have been necessary if these goods had been shipped via freight train, ii does not take one very long to see the saving in time, and expense the motor truck affords"

HOW TO DETERMINE
 AND REMEDY KNOCKS

Are you familiar with the different knocks an engine makes so that you can tell one from the other? Engine knocks fall naturally into four classes: spark. overheating, carbon and loose or worn parts
 Spark knock is due to spark being advanced too far, particularly when going up a hill. The engine slows down and the explosion comes before dead center, causing knock If spark is retarded the knock disappears
 Overheating causes a knock by fir ing the gas before the piston reaches upper dead center on the compression stroke The exploding gas expanding meets the piston going up and causes a knock Overheating may be noted by steam at radiator.
 Carbon knock is caused by red-hot carbon in cylinder head setting fire to the mixture when the gas has been compressed to a certain point Re- move spark plug and look in cylinders for presence of carbon.
 The last classification is a large one as it includes wear or looseness of all moving parts of an engine. The prin- cipal knocks are main bearing, con- meeting rod, wrist pin, piston slap loose fly-wheel, etc.
