Wind Resistance Tests Con-

Roads and Friction Hindrances
Also Are To Be Determined.

Manhattan. Kan. July 1s.-A test
to determine the amount and effect
of wind resistance on automobiles is
being conducted by the engineers of
the Kansas State Agricultural college.
Manufacturers and owners recognize
that the wind is one of the three ele-
mentS with which they have to con-
tend, the others being resistance Of
fered 8y roads. and internal friction.
The purpose of this experiment is to
determine how much of the operating
cost is due to the wind
An apparatus designed to measure
the resistance of the wind is located
on hill on the college grounds where
the Kansas breezes can blow unob-
structed.
The apparatus consists of a shallow
tank floating inside q larger tank. A
vehicle headed toward the wind is
placed upon the former in such a
manner that it tends to move with
the wind. A spring balance connected
to a recording device counteracts the
motion of the car and the wind
changes are recorded by a pencil NOV

cars and trucks of various makes are
being tested to determine the amount
of wind resistance.
Tests have already been completed.
one relative to the resistance offered
by the roads and the other internal
friction. and when this last test has
been completed, the results will be
available to designers and manufac-
turers in the automobile industry who
will be enabled to construct automo-
bile5 of greater endurance.
