Greater Comfort Sought
Engineers Set to Work on Question

WASHINGTON. May s.-one Of
the greatest problems upon which
automotIye engineers arc ccnicrine
their attention Is that Of producing
better riding comfort for automobile
passengers.
This Is one OF the five major prof
ccts before the research department,
OF the Society OF Automotivo Engi
ncers this year. The other four arc
fuels. truck transportation costs
gears and highway construction.
The problem Of riding comfort
offers particular difficulty TO the en-
gineers in that they havo the human
element 10 contend with. There Il
nothing stable which they can meas
nrc. Every person is different In bis
feelings and reactions from the rest
Little Information has been avail
able even In learning what aro the
basic factors that determine the rid
ing qualities OF automobiles let alone
trying to study them md improve or
them.
There In. however. generally nc
ocptod working basis for the research
activities into this line OF automotIvt
engineering.
Tho physiological and physloloei
cal effects OF auto riding nre being
studied. for instance. What cffcct
change OF speed has ON a passenger
whether one speed feels better thar
another. or what effect the seat UP
holstcring has on the rider arc al
important questions TO DO consid

Of tires. types OF seats. backs ant
