fiat cars at one point and received at
the destination in terminal which
would allow the transfer Of the con-
tainers by crane to motor chasses,
similarly standardized to receive the
containers. The freight cars used
tainer compartments would be de-
tachable from the fiat cars and at
tachable to the chasses.
This would eliminate the individual
handling of consignments." Mr.. Co.
lumbus stated. "The car would come
in, the crane would detach the com
partments, the trucks would be load
ed and the operation concluded with
the elimination of much labor and in
dividual effort - -
tor traffic good roads must be built.
Good roads are the foundation for
such program. Then must come the
assurance of return haul. When in
competition with railroad freight the
motor truck must have the assurance
empty one. which would mean that
the payee for the original trip would
be paying for the return load Of the
empty truck, thus virtually doubling
the expense.
Poor Roads Mean Breakaxe.
For fragile merchandise, also, good
roads are a necessity. For instance.
s!IppeIs y! emma, DreakableS and
similar articles would prefer the
smooth steel rails to rutted road.
The Army trucks gave an evidence
during the war on the Washington
baltimore boulevard of the damage
which could be wrought to roads. had
roads also mean higher depreciation.
The plan is good one, and the
obstacles may be overcome in the fu-
ture. look forward to the establish j.
ment of motorized motor freight
transportation"
