BY ALEXANDER JOHNSTON
Editor OF Motor

I y /. Z
The average man who Is interested
in automobiles does not realize that ev-
cry time he steps on the accelerator
pedal, that the ear tends to wind itself
around the rear axle and that, if the
tendency were carried far enough, the
car would stand on its real wheels. as
la mettiesome horse stands on his hind
legs and paws the air. "a
1t is true that in actual practice this
tendency never goes far enough to
cause the front wheels to leave the
ground, but it does set up certain re-
actions which are very strongly pro-
nounced at the rear end of the car.
This reaction is known as torque and
it is necessary to use certain members
to counteract its effect on the chassis
of the car. >,
Torque reaction is not only set up
when the car is accelerated, but also
when the brakes are applied. This time
instead of trying to raise the front end
of the car, the forward part is pressed
down heavily.
There are several methods of absorb
ing torque reactionss In a majority of
American cars what is known as the
Hotchkiss drive is used. In this sys-
tenn both the driving thrust and the
torque care absorbed through the main
leaves of the springs. In other cars the
torque .Iis absorbed by a torque J, tube,
which surrounds the propeller shaft. or
by d torqHe arm, which extends for
ward from the rear axle parallel with
the propeller shaft to point generally
somewhere near the middle of the
chassis. u
1t is easy to explain just what it is

Ties Given Turkish Bath"

Railway construction engineers have
found that railway ties, even when
air-dried for a considerable time. still
contain 10 per cent or more moisture,
and therefore are susceptible TO de-
cay since bacterial growth requires
moisture. In recent experiments an
effort has been made TO drive out
moisture by using the same process
that nature does. and dissolve, neu-
tralize and wash out the sap and 9th
er liquids which obstruct and close
the pores. Warm air saturated with
moisture is circulated among the ties.
This opens and cleans the pores OF the
wood just as a Turkish bath does the
