BUMPS UNDER SPEED
COSTLY TO THE TIRE
Force of Blow From Road Oh
struction Is Horizontal and
Opens Way to Blowout.
VERTICAL SHOCK LESSER

You have been bounced off your seat.
Of course, and heard the outcry of pas
sengers in the rear seat to "cut her
down a little." just because you struck
hole or rocky. uneven spot in the
road. Then you wondered II any dam
age was done. You slowed up for a
short space and the old boat seemed
to go along all right and you speeded
her up again.
Perhaps a day or two later you were
forced to change tire. Upon show
ing it to the repair man, who tells you
that the carcass of the tire is in need
of repair because of a bruise, COM
monty called ''stone bruise." you re-
marked: Rather strange. I have no
recollection of hitting a stone; 1 have
travelled only on improved state roads
and city streets" But you fail to recall
the severe shock your car and its oc-
cupants experienced when you hit the
bump or the hole in the road.
One rarely stops to consider the force
of such a stroke when delivered to
the tire upon meeting such an obstruc-
ton or road irregularity.
Violence OF Road SHOCKS.
Harken back to school days for mo-
ment. if you will. and recall that old
law of physics: The energy OF a NOV
ing body varies as the square of lis
velocity. Apply this to your car and
you will note that by doubling the
speed the energy is increased four
times. Triple your. speed and the v;o-
lence Of the road shocks delivers a blow
to your tires the force Of which is in
creased nine times.
While an increase of speed greatly
multiplies the force of the road shocks.
the direction Of the blow is also
changed. In driving slowly over
slight obstruction or depression the
force of the blow is downward. due to
the dead weight of the car. and the
shock is received in a vertical direc-
ton. which is easily ABSORBED by the
cushion of air and the springs on the
car without injury to either.
By speeding up the car, the force Of
the blow from a road obstruction or
irregularity has changed it's direction
from vertical, straight up and down. 20
a horizontal force, as the weight of
the car not only has a downward
thrust on the obstacle, but a forward
one as well.

Blow Not Absorbed by Springs.

The cushioning effect of springs is
not used. hence they do mot absorb this
horizontal blow. which is aimed di-
rectly at the axle: therefore, it is a
dead blow on the tire which overtaxes
it's cushioning effect and stretches its
inner carcass construction to such a
degree inward that the inner ply Of
the cords or fabrics is strained or
broken and later develops into a blow
out The length of time for blowout
to develop depends on the force of the
blow. which in turn is governed by the
speed Of the car when the blow was
first received.
Thus you will note that the colliding
force of an automobile is governed alb
solutely by the speed. II you should
drive your automobile off the roof of
your house. which we will say is about
forty feet above the ground, what
would be the effect. Horrible. you say,
Quite right. The force Of the impact
when the car hit the ground would be
equal to its striking or collision force
of being driven at speed of thirty-five
miles an hour. A drop Of 1853 feet is
equal to a force delivered to a car when
travelling at a rate Of seventy miles an
hour. By doubling the speed you IN
crease the force Of the blow fourfold.
