AID TO TRUCK
SALES MANAGER
w. ]. Foster Is to Assist
Developing Truck
Program.

The appointment of W. J. Foster.
formerly assistant truck sales man
ager Of the New York branch of
the Packard Motor Car Company. as
d. transportation engineer and assis-
tant to the truck sales manager for
Hare's Motors. Inc, has been an
nounced.
Foster has specialized in automo-
tive engineering for eight years,
supplementing the education he re-
ceived in America with more ad-
yanced study in France, Switzerland
and Germany.
Upon his return to the United
States, Foster was made an instruc-
tor and subsequently principal of
the New York School of Automobile
Engineers Later he became prin-
cipal Of the Stewart Automobile
School. His ability as a lecturer on
suton1otive subjects led to his being
made q member OF the New York
public school board Of lectureship.
In his new position Foster will
work very closely with General
Truck Sales Manager Toland in pre-
pairing and developing a definite mo-
tor truck transportation program.
It is the aim of Hare's Motors to
keep all truck distributors in con-
stant touch with every new develop
ment In the freight Transportation
field. and the addition of Foster win
greatly hasten the development of
these plans. IL was asserted.

How AN AUTOMOBILE IS STEERED

to the end Of the axle on which
It is.
1t is easy to understand why this
must be SO by imagining you are
holding one end of a stick on the
other end of which is q wheel. II
the stick is bent near the wheel so
that the wheel is not at right
angles to the part held in the hand.
1t will be impossible to give the
wheel a perfect rolling motion by
swinging the stick about the held
end as a center. II the wheel is
not perfectly at right angles to the
stick there will be a dragging and
, slipping between 1t and the ground.
But as both wheels of an automo-
bile must be at right angles to the
lines drawn from the ends of the
| front axle to the center of turning,
and as these lines cannot be parallel
| with each other. the front wheels
cannot be parallel with each other
after they have been turned out of
the position for motion straight
ahead. This is a simple matter of
| simple geometry which can be
figured out easily by anyone with
the help of a diagram. The sharper
the turn the more out of parallel do
the front wheels become. II this is
not the case, there will be a rapid
grinding away of the tires.
Steering Angle Explained.
How is this necessarily varying
relationship of the front wheels OBJ
tanned when turns are being made
The answer Is that what Is known
as the steering angle does 1t. And
| what is the steering angle?
If you will notice how the front
wheels Of your automobile are con-
| nected together you will find that
there are two short arms, one con.
| nected to each of the two ends OF
the axle which carry the wheel
bearings and Swing to effect the
steering. These arms are SO shaped
that the tie rod which joins the
1 wheels together, when 1t is back of
the axle, is shorter than the center
or main portion of the front axle.
This being SO, a line drawn through
the center of the. pivoting at either
| end of the main axle and the point
at the outer end of the correspond
| ing arm where the tie rod is at
tached will not be parallel with the
wheel but will point in toward the
| center of the rear axle. Just what
| tHe dHBie snOufQ pe IN any case pe-
| tween this arm and the wheel de-
! pends upon the tread, or width be-
tween the wheels, and the wheel
base. or distance between the front
! and rear axles.
Unnecessary Tire Wear.
+ Now let us see how the placing of
| these steering arms at an agile with
! the wheels causes the wheels to turn
in varying degrees, the inside one
/, turning more out Of right angles
| with the axle than the other one.
| We shall have to refer to the dia-
gram with the lettering. Let US say,
then, that A B is the rod and c
and d are the steering arms, c
and d being the points where the
wheels are pivoted. In making a
turn to the left, the tie rod moves

the legislature to issue bonds for
construction and Reconstruction of
public roads. With funds provided
from this source, 1t will then be
possible to eomplete the $500 miles
Of State highway system in about
six or eight years time.
According to the highway officials
the Observation-Disclosures road will
be one of the first to receive atten-
tion and II Is expected that within
the next few years a modern boule-
ward type of surface will be provid-
ed to connect the two important cap
itals and thus serve as an opening
wedge for greater travel and trans
portation into the Southland. Motor
truck express lines will then begin
operating on daily schedules and
both farmers and merchants win
pront thereby. The tide of tourist
travel will greatly increase and
closer relation will be brought about
among the people especially through
the counties served by the more per

SEEK TO MEET
SPIRIT OF TIMES
Kelly-Springfeld Truck Prices
Reduced by Hare's
Motors, Inc.

A reduction in the price of Kelly
Springfield trucks is announced by
Hsre's Motors. Inc, following very
closely the taking over Of the Kelly
Springfield line by that company.
The reductions in the Kelly-Spring-
field line range from 500 on the one
and a half ton models to s40e on
the six-ton size.
The price reduction conforms with
the Hare's Motors policy Of meeting
the spirit of the times and doing
everything within its power to
hasten a return OF normal BUSINESS
conditions. A general reduction in
prices is the only thing that can
sufficiently increase the purchasing
power of a dollar to a point where
there will be sufficient money TO
properly finance the business needs
of the country.
The Kelly-Springfeld's new sched-
ule OF prices is based on the sntici-
pated reduction in the cost of manu-
facture which will be accelerated
just as fast as other manufacturers
take the initiative.

MOTOR CAR LOAD
Important Feature of Car
Design, but Needs More
Attention.

OF the many problems met in au-
tomobile design that of weight dis
trioution rs not the least important,
nor Is 1t one that has received the
FULLEST measure of attention on the
part OF the designer, says a writer
in American Motorist.
Like all the tasks imposed by
modern automobile construction
weight distribution must be largely
matter of compromise. In this
respect the problem resembles that
involved In spring design. in which
becomes evident the difficulty of
providing a spring that will give
fun resiliency under an empty BODY
as well as under one that is loaded
down to its full rated capacity,
Similarly, weight distribution be-
comes somewhat complex PROPOSE
tion when it is considered that il Is
impossible to distribute the dead
weight OF an automobile in such a
manner that the mechanical equil-
ibrium will not be interfered with
when the car is run with a load or
without one.
Hard to Strike q Mean
These questions, however, while
interesting TO the engineer, are of
less Importance to the average auto
mobile user, except in the relation
they bear to his tire CONSUMPTION.
Here. too, it Is impossible to strike
fair mean. 1t is out of the ques-
tion to secure for one tire as little
wear as Is encountered in the other,
even though all four tires be of uni
form quality and structure. Even
In a car carrying the greater part
OF its weight in front, the greater
weight is borne by the rear tires.
Il must be remembered in this con-
nect!on that the propulsion of a
motor vehicle differs from that OF
the horse-drawn vehicle. in that the
latter is pulled over the road while
the former is pushed along by the
tractive effort transmitted to the
rear or drive wheels. In conse-
quence Of the driving stresses, the
rolling friction Of the road, and the
slfppage that is absolutely unavoid-
able, the tires of the rear wheels
encounter most Of the wear to which
the automobile tires are regularly
subjected.
Light Car Tire Cost.
As far as the weight of the car
itself Is concerned, regardless of its
distribution, it Is common expert
ence that the lightest car produces
the smallest tire bills. The fact Is
that the life of a tire is proportional
to the cube of the load 1t supports,
so that IL the load be doubled the
average wear and tear will be null
tiplied by eight.
There are other points worthy of
attention in considering the wear.
some OF them having to do with the
manner in which such units as
power plant and transmission are
supported. In some constructions
road shocks are more readily alb
sorbed by the framework and sus-
pension means, which accommodate
themselves more or less to the dis
tortions to which the Inequalities
of the road surface give rise.

Motorists Need Not Fear
Mud Stretch Any More
Entire Road, Including New Section, VIII Be
Opened This Week.

The old Chopawamsic swamp sec
tion on the road from Washing
ton to Richmond. which has here
tofore served as q barrier and ter
ror to motorists, comparing in no
toriety with the Everglades Of Flor
ida, has been concreted, and what
was once q veritable mud lane now
has been converted into a fine,
wide highway. Representatives OF
the touring bureau of the Ameri-
can Automobile Association made
an inspection trip over the entire
route last week and found condi-
tions all along the line, generally
better.
More than nifty large arrow signs
and danger signals were placed at
confusing points and at cautionary
turns or grades. Not once was II
necessary to use chains, even
though rain overlook the travellers
on returning from Fredericksburg.
The contractor in charge of COM
pletinx the last half mile advised
the pathfinders that the entire new
road would be open to traffic this
week. and it is only a matter OF al

tial construction. The A A A. has
been very active in urging improve
ment Of this one particular link

The motorist stops his car and
disgustedly gets out To examine
the blowout. To HIS amaze
ment the tire has not gone fat
and the tread Is still intact.
Technically this trouble Is known
as a gum blowout" Pocketed
air in the side wall, caused by
an obstructed puncture, simply
reached the bursting point and
exploded.
The facts of the case are that

seaief by the tread, so that air

the tread. assists in corking up
the hole.
A sIow~t1be leak results, and
air seeps through the fabric\ac-
cording to Miller tire REPAIR

tween the tread and fabric.
Each revolution of the tire
acts like a force pump on this
pocketed air. forcing IL further
and further from under the tread
toward the side wall Here IL
forms blister. similar to a mud
boil.
When the. blister breaks, due
to excessive pressure, a ragged

cular motion about the points C
and d as centers. II will be noticed
that the angle through which the
arm B d has passed is much greater
than that through which The arm

the inside or left-hand wheel has
been turned more than the outside

The angle between the steering
arms and the wheels must be just
right or the wheels will not be
turned into their proper positions
with the result that there will be
unnecessary wear on the tires. When
cars are banged about, run into
curbs, against rocks and treated
