Mounting the Truck Body
No. 2

Wewish at this time to impress upon
motor truck users the Importance of
proper body mounting. Very often the
success or failure of truck may be
traced directly to the body and how it
Is mounted.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
l. Drill no holes in frame.
2. Attach body with clips.
;. Use sills full length Of frame.
The first of these instructions is
probably the most important. drilling

where this sill rests.
These sills are bound to work or
move slightly on the frame. This
working in conjunction with dirt and

the sill to wear into the frame. This

then the longer whecl-base chassis

On chassis which have been equipped
with hydraulic hoists it is important to
keep the cables tight. that is, with no
slack in them when the body is resting
on the frame. Loose cables will cause
the body to start to raise with jerk
and will cause strain on the frame
greater than most of us realize.
These points touched upon in ref
erence to body mounting are important
and all truck owners and operators
should give heed to them.

THEREFORE Do Nor DRILL A FRAME
The dnder-sill construction of the
body is another very important matter.
There is one type of construction which
uses cross sills only. This type we are
glad to say seems to be disappearing.
In the first place it is very difficult
matter to properly clip this type to the
frame, especially if the body is trans
ferred from some other chassis. In the
second place it is seldom found when all

ST JOHNS, y. F., June 10. -
The steady shifting of Newfound-
land imports from Great Britain to
Canada and the United States is
shown i'm foreign trade figures just
made public here. Imports from
Great Britain in 1909 were valued
at s2.493.67O and in 1919 at So

ports from Canada increased from
$3,g37,OO9 to S12,777.6s4 and from

The climate % Newfoundland is
so severe that all OF its food sup
plies, except fish, a few farm prod

have to be imported. Practically
all clothing, furniture and household
goods also came from abroad. Until
about 20 years ago these imports
were divided almost equally between
Great Britain, Canada and the
United States. but since then the
tendency each year has been to buy

Because Of the rain, because of
the lack OF advance notices, or be
cause South Bend music-lOvers were
afraid OF the steep and candle-ight-

a dark night, the usual large and

Value Is Doubled.

imports from Great Britain is much

of transport across the Atlantic, es-
