 Ut was, of course. apparent that the grade was too steep to afford any traction for rubber tires, so a road was made up the hill constructed of plank rails with holes bored in them at regular intervals. The back tires Of the machine were then fitted with steel castings studded with round teeth to get the holes in the rails.
 The day of the proposed stunt was widely advertised in Long Beach and a large crowd gathered to wit ness the performance, as the opinion prevailed among the skeptical that the hill was too steep for any car to climb.
 'An doubt was removed. however, when the Dodge Brothers car was put into low gear and made the top of the hill at 15 miles an hour
