SPEED WAGON SHORTS
UP TAMALPAIS ON TIES

"Power as we'll as speed" thus Mr..
Malgahn, local REQ dealer character
ICES the trip which REQ Speed Wa
eon recently made to "Tamalpais"'
top. "Tamalpais is San Francisco's
famous mountain" says Mr.. Ma!zahn.
From its summit more geography is
in evidence than from any other point
in the world, fourteen cities and coun-
ties, numerous bays, capes, straits,
peninsulas, islands, mountains and the
Pacific ocean. It is also possible to
see Mount Shasta, 200 miles away, on
a clear day."
The trip which the REQ Speed Wa
gon made up this mountain emphasiz-
es the tendency Of the general public
to freely acknowledge the speed of
the REQ without knowing its surplus
Of power4
Tamalpais presented an opportunity
for very unusual test to bring out

this contention. Through the cour-
tesy of the Tamalpais and Muir
Railway company, a special arrange
ment was made whereby the truck,
with an official pilot representing dis
patcher's orders, was permitted to
negotiate the grade over the railroad
right of way. .... 49,
This road has the. unique distinc.
ton of being the crookedest railroad
in the world--281 curves. To make
the climb a. truck must run over the
ties and ballast and straddle the rails.
The Speed Wagon, which was reg
ular canopy express job, loaded to ca
pacity Zone and one-fourth tons,)
made the trip without difficulty, with
out heating and without the slightest
damage to the load. This bears addi-
tional testimony to the general con-
struction, especially the springs. -.
The trip took fifty minutes. The
train takes one hour and FIVE minutes.

work req Tres a special type of gear

Speed Wagon equipped with Road
Floater and Dump Body is one OF the
most interesting exhibits and a dis.
play which is attracting unusual at
tention.
In speaking of the job, Mr.. NAL
zahn says: "A Speed Wagon equip.
ped with road floater will replace
up to six teams of horses in doing
this class of work. It has demon
strated it's ability to do better and
faster work than horse drawn euuip.
ment. 1t will handle gravel at a speed
OF from ten to fifteen miles an hour.
At this speed it will spread the gravel
more evenly and fill up all the little
cups and ruts. 1t has proved equally
effective in maintaining the ordinary
type of dirt road"
The foater, or leveling apparatus,
can be hung on either side of the
Speed Wagon. It is adjustable to diff
1erent pressures on the road. With
dump body the Speed Wagon will
