Study Car Operating Cost.

any speed on any highway or hin? TIE
good roads section Of the Iowa cnsin-
Ieering experiment station has develop
ed machine which indicates the
miles per gallon at any instant Just
as a speedOmeter indicates the speed
per hour.
The machine Is not being used for
that purpose, however, as it was per
fected only to aid in the stations study
Of highway design and the tractive
resistance of various types of road sur
faces and different grades of hills.
With such machine as this the exact
effect Of ever degree Of grade. every
turn and every kind of road surface on
4 cars consumption Of gasoline can be
measured. In this way the exact cost
Of transporting ton of hay or corn
over one mile of ordinary dirt road,
graveled highway, oiled road, or pave
ment can be ascertained and the actual
saving, from proposed improvements
can be balanced against the cost of
such an improvement. With such a

definite amount of certain kind of
traffic passes over that hill annually.
