Slo.u Movie Films
Show Wear of Roads

Slow moving pictures. recently used
as unique features Of pictorial news
weeklies, to show every motion Of a
person In various sports. have found
a field in many lines OF industrial ex-
periments that will prove invaluable
to future development.
By the use Of q new type of camera
exposures arc made at the rate OF
100 instead OF sixteen to the second
and then projected at one-tenth nor
NAL speed. With the aid Of this cam
era, experts are able to record pho
Geographically the comparative road
impact and chassis shock of motor
trucks shod with pneumatic or solid
tires.
The records made In this way seem
to show that the pneumatic tires alb
sorb most Of the shock Of the vertical
drop, the truck leaving the ground
only slightly, while tho solid tired
truck bounded after tho impact. The
recording device showed that the
pneumatically equipped truck hit the
ground less than two-thirds as hard
as the other.
Results from these unique movie
tests indicate that . seven and one
half ton truck on pneumatic tires
would do less damage to roads than Q
five-ton truck operating at the same
speed and under tho same rough road
conditions.

It Is important to the life OF tire
that You should keep wheels in ali en-
ment. II the wheel II out Of line the
whole tire Is distorted. Strain at all
points result. Moreover, a wobbly
wheel causes friction from several d.

The greatest wear takes place on
the tread Of q tire--it is built to with

a thin coating of rubber to protect the

them.
You have experienced the neei of

Helpful Hints to

sential that the driver see that wires

ings.

why many tires fail to give maxi
mum mileage. TO determine quickly
what air pressure to carry on tires:
For three-inch tires divide the
weight of the load by 80; for four

by "a. Tire mileage will be increased
