SEES RAILROAD
AUTO MARKET
Lines Will Eventually In
stall Truck Routes for
Short Hauls..

That the railroads of the country
will eventually furnish one of the
greatest markets for motor trucks
Is the prediction of c. B. Stanley,
manager of the research bureau OF
the Four Wheel Drive Auto Com
pany, Clintonville. Wis. This opin-
ion is based on the fact that the
motor truck established itself as an
economical transportation auxiliary
to the railroads during the pressure
of wartime haulsge. and that with
the return of the roads to private
ownership, and the restoration of
tie oldtime competitive spirit, this
economical phase of transportation
will be keenly developed by the rail-
roads.
The return of the railroads to
private ownership means that each
road will avail itself of every pos
sible means of increasing its trans
portation efficiency" says Mr.. Stan
ley. During the war the motor
truck proved its value in giving re-
lief to the overburdened railroads in
a way that demonstrated that II
could be used to transport goods
speedily, safely End economically.
Best for short Haals.
For short hauls II was apparent
that the truck was faster. safer and
mere economical. all of which added
to the popularity of the Ship by
Truck method. and an increased de =
mand for trucking service
with the unusual demands over,
however, and the return of the rail-
roads to private ownership, 1t is to
be expected that each road will be
out getting all the business it can.
They will look with jealous eye
upon any attempt to divert the traf-
: fic Of the country to new channels
with the consequent result that
rather than see competitive truck
ing service increase and a disposi-
ton on the part of truck ownersrto
enlarge this service, the railroads
will themselves inaugurate fleets OF
motor trucks to facilitate their
transportation.
Are More Economical.
The advantages of a motor truck
| transportation system for short
hauls to facilitate the work of the
! steam roads are numerous. Prob
ably the most striking is their eco
nomical feature. There is no ex-
pense for the right of way. while
the cost of up-keep is centered en-
tirely in the truck. There is nc
uncertainty about the terminal
charges and no necessity for ware
houses. Combined with this. the
truck has the added advantage OF
being able TOGO in any direction
without being forced to follow 9
definite line of rails.
"The concerted action of Fedora
! and State commissions to improve
the nations roads and highways IL
an added inducement that promise.

Rather Than Take
Chance on Waiting.

Buy a Motor Car Week, just pass
ed, which constituted this city's 1870
automobile show, has proved the
most pretentious and SUCCESSFUL
event of its kind ever held in the
National Capital. Seeds sown DUR
ing the six days from March 22 10
81, inclusive, will bear fruit to To-
cal motor car dealers for many
months, and the 'buy-a-car spirit
aroused by the various exhibits Will
doubtlessly prevail throughout the
spring and summer"
This was the opinion expressed py
s. Sidney Forst, chairman OF the
show committee of the Washington
Automotiye Trade Association. un-
der whose auspices Buy n Motor
Car Week" was held. and 1t seems
to, be, echoed by each of the otner
members Of the show committee.
and all of the dealers who en1oyed
a portion OF the record-breakine
patronage accorded by the Washing
ton public.
VIII Keep Decorations.
While both the individual exhibits
along Connecticut avenue, H street
and other prominent motor sales
rooms thoroughfares are officially
closed, il seemed to be the deci-
sion of the majority of dealers last
night to maintain all decorative
features as long as possible.
One fact has been impressed on
the minds of prospective automobile
purchasers during the week. 1t lis
that the shortage about which deal
ers and manufacturers have been
warning them for the last six
months is not merely a bugbear to
stimulate sales, but an actuality.
As a result persons who contem-
plate buying cars this year are
buying them now instead of waiting
until later in the season.
Dealers were impressed last week
by, the strict attention being paid
by buyers to serviceability of cars
In the last few years the automo-
bile public has been forced to use
its cars for longer periods than
heretofore; that is, persons who for
merly bought new models each year
have been forced to hold their old
models two or three seasons.
Keen for Cars That stand Up.
As a result they are keener about
purchasing a car of accessible ser.
viceability than they were when they
ran their cars only one season and
seldom had to sent them to the
service station.

MENT.

Q. Ny car recently developed a
terrific knock, which comes from
the fioorboards. Not long before 1
put in a new universal joint and
right after that the knocking began.
The local repair man wants to tear
out the rear end. the transmission
and everything, which looks like a
costly job, unless you can tell me
just what part 1t is in. My car Is
an Oakland with unit power plant.
A. Try this: Listen for the pc
riodicity of the sound in first speed,
second and high. If the sound oc-
ours with greater rapidity in second
than in high, and also more in first
than in second, / would say a bro
ken transmission bearing or a bent
shaft. AS a matter of fact that. is
the first unit / would suspect under
1.-THE circumstances.
Q. see that Westcott and a lot
of other makers advertise the new
Continental Model 7R motor. Is this
new motor, and what is there diff
ferent. about it? Does Paige use a
iContinental, and how about Jordan?
What engine does the Locomobile
use?
A. Model 7R is a new Red Seal
engine, which is a highly improved
model. 1t has a four bearing crank
shaft. instead of a three. and shows
changes in detail. For complete de-
tails about this engine write Con-
ltinental Motors, Detroit. Mich. Paige
uses a Continental in one of its
models. Jordan uses a Continental
| in both models. Locomobile makes
its own engine.
Q. Is 1t possible to obtain parts
for the Stoddard-Dayton car?
have a chance to get one of these
cars cheap. and I wonder il 1t would
be a good buy.
A. The Standard Motor Parts Co.,
Newcastle, Ind, can supply Stod-
idard-Dayton parts. II this car Is
in reasonably good condition there
is no reason why it should not be a
good buy. Condition Is the determ-
lining factor and you had better have
the car looked over by an expert,
unless you are qualified to pass upon
it's condition.

combination with straight roller
and annular ball bearings to
take end thrust).
There are two kinds of work
which bearings must do. One is to
carry radial loads and the other is
to take thrust. BY radial load is
meant the withstanding of pressure
which is applied directly toward
the center about which the bear
ings turns. By thrust is meant the
endwise push which is imposed
when force is applied longitudinally
along the shaft which the bearing
supports.
Where ever you have bevel gears
you have end thrust, for the ten
dency of the gears to force them
selves apart is resolved into two
| components, one of which rs direct
! ed toward the center of the shaft
| carrying either gear and the other,
| longitudinally along the shaft. The
| first of these, components tends to
break or bend the shaft and the
| second. to push it back endwise
! from the gear. When. therefore, a
| plain bearing or a straight roller
or annular ball bearing is used on
a shaft driving or driven by a bevel
gear. it Is necessary to use also
some kind of thrust bearing to
take up this endwise pressure.
In a wheel bearing. as one of our
| illustrations shows, when turning a
| corher, a tremendous side pressure
or thrust is imposed on the wheel
! bearings. In the case shown the
thrust is taken by a double row
ball bearing of well-known make
which is designed to take radial
and thrust loads equally well. This
same thrust is present when run
ming on the side of a crowded road
with the weight of the car imposing
a sidewise strain on the bottom OF
the wheels.
some types of annular ball bear
ings, the double row type of bear
ing just referred to and the taper
roller bearing all take thrust as
well as radial loads. That Is why
they are or may be used in wheel
I hubs and in rear axles at the diff
ferential without other means foI
taking the thrust.
In the gear-box there Is practi.
cally no end thrust under normal
conditions as the gears are all OF
what is known as. the spur type
and they impose only radial thrust
For this reason, straight roller OF
! annular ball bearings can be used
| for the gear shafts.
Upon the proper adjustment OF
/ the bearings in the gear-box and
in the rear axle depends. to very
large extent, the smooth and quiet
running of the car. Wear IN oil
faulty adjustment of the bearings
(which support shafts carrying gears
will bring the. geau teeth out OF
proper Relationship and thus cause
fnoise and loss of power. II the
