REMOVING SNOW FROM ROADS
cause of Large Amount of Travel
During Winter.

Snow removal from highways is be-
coming increasingly important be-
cause of the large amount of travel by
motortrucks and automobiles. Sew
eral states have made appropriations
for removal of snow from the main
highways but in other states there has
been no appropriation of funds for
this purpose. Vast quantities of com
modities must be hauled over the high
ways next winter because of the lack
of sufficient railway cars to move them,
and state money, rather than local
funds ought to be used to keep truck
highways open.

and speed. Many such attempts are
foredoomed to failure, because the
body is designed with no reference to
drawings, patterns or the tool equip
ment involved.
Preliminary to anything else, scale
drawing of the chassis and the new
body should be made, and after the
| builder has established, to his own
satisfaction, that the new body will
| fit the chassis, then only should the
actual work be undertaken. However,
a complete set of full-sized paper pat
| terms should be made; with these the
| builder can determine whether the
parts will fit together correctly, and
at the same time rectify any errors
of calculation, or judgment, that may
have been made in the preliminary
scale drawing.
| The illustration shows a body that
possesses straight lines throughout, as
it is easier to work the sheet metal
with sharp, angular lines than any
other way, but the variety of design
is infinite, and is only limited by the
skill, cash and facilities at the com
mand of the builder
Use Sheet Iron.
| The material most commonly used
is No. 10 or 20 gauge sheet iron, al
though the lighter and more expensive
aluminium can be used as well as a
| lighter-gauge iron, but the latter is
inadvisable. For work of the kind
! shown in the drawing, the most essen
tial tools will consist of a wooden NAL
| let, tin shears and riveting and sol
dering equipment. Most amateur
builders fall into the error of trying
to apply the component parts of the
! body to a wooden frame with nails,
which invariably results in a botched
and unsatisfactory Job.
Disk Wheels Not Liked.
Disk wheels are merely sheet-metal
disks bolted to both sides of the
wheels, with an opening for access to
the tire valve. Such wheels, on the
average light car, are not to be par
ticularly commended, however as they
are not entirely satisfactory, and at
the same time detract from that Glow,
rakish" appearance usually sought.
! It should be remembered that the
aim is to build a neat, individual auto
mobile body and not boiler, and that,
therefore, the use of rivets and nails
for closing seams should be Stunned,
since both give positive evidence of
an amateurs handiwork.-Popular
Mechanics Magazine.

rubber.
In cases of chronically squeaky
springs. try jacking up the car so that
the weight is removed from the
springs and then soaking these latter
with kerosene.
Chronic squeaking in the braking
system is generally due to dirt that
has been imbedded in the lining and
is pressed against the drum when the
brakes are operated.
Every motorist ought to know that
wire brushes are the best possible

Splitting at high speeds in a car
