SIX STANDARD SIZES
FOR RIMS APPROVED
Society Of Automotive Engineers
o. ks Table for Use with
Balloon Tires.

A restricted list of six standard rim
sizes for low.pressure or balloon tires
has been approved by the standards
committee and council of the Society
Of Automotive Engineers. The step
was taken to reduce confusion and
the multiplicity OF sizes of this type
Of tire. The approved sizes, In
inches, are as follows:
21xsls rim for 2sx4.4o and S0x4.75
tires.
2Oxi rim for 2sx4.75 and sox5,25
! 2Ix4 rim for aox4.s5 and s1xs.a5
tires.
2ox4M rim for sox5.77 and s2xs
tires.
2lx4ls rim for s2xs.20 and SAKE
and 33x6.20 tires.
21x5 rim for 33x6.75 tires.
The tire sizes are not part of the
Society of Automotive Engineers
recommended practice, but are given
to show the regular sizes of tire that
can be mounted on the several rims.
1t is also recommended that the de.
tailed dimensions OF the rims conform
with the standards OF the Tire and
Rim Association Of America. No ac-
ton was taken regarding high.
pressure tires, as they have been
superseded SO extensively by low
pressure tires on new passenger cars.
Neither was any action taken on low
pressure tires or rims for motor
coaches, as these are regarded as still
subject to much further development.

.HYPO|DGEARS GIVE
HIGHER EFFICIENCY

Type.

eHypoid" gears are the newest
thing in Anal drive for automobiles.
Lowered frame and quieter operation
are the major advantages claimed for
this type by A. L. Stewart and Er.
nest Wildhaber of the Gleason Works,
who described the gears and the new
method Of forming the teeth in ad-
dresses before the Society Of Auto
motive Engineers last week These
gears, the engineers were told, have
been tested extensively under severe
conditions and have successfully car
fsed overloads while continuing to OPP
etate with an unusual degree of'quiet.
Have Offset Axes
Hypoid gears are tapered gears hav.
ing Offset axes. In general, II was
explained, they look like spiral bevel
gears. but the pinion can be placed
below or above the center line of the
ring gear from ! n TO 31z inches. de-
pending upon the diameter of the
gear ring and the gear reduction ratio
between 1t and the pinion. They diff
fer from spiral bevel gears in that,
for the same size OF ring gear, the
pinion is considerably larger than the
beyel pinion and has q greater load
carrying capacity Moreover, the
teeth in the hypoid gear ring shave a
small spiral angle, while those in the
pinion have a large angle. This diff
ference in tooth inclination usSults in
a combination Of rolling and sliding
tooth contact that has an important
bearing on the quietness of operation.
Because OF the larger size OF the
pinion and the form Of the teeth.
smaller gear can be used to transmGt a
given horsepower, and this increases
the road clearance and also allows the
floor Of the car TO be lowered over
the rear axle.
Cost Very Little,
Hypoid gears can be cut like spiral
hevef gears on existing gear general.
ing machines and the pinions can be
cut on machines OF the same general
design, hence the set of gears will
cost very little, II any more. to pro.

No other road in the entire United

than the Boston Post, this year to q

Sworn to Deliver Mail.
He further made known to Gov.
Winthrop that the messenger was
sworn to deliver the mail, which was
sent gratis, and that he expected the
same courtesy for the return letters.
The plan OF Gov. Lovelace was to
have q messenger start from New
York each Monday and return within
month with the return mail, using
Hartford ais the first stopping place
for a change OF horses.
The Boston Post Road today is a
fine piece OF highway. passing through
prosperous and thriving towns, quaint
villages and intensively cultivated
farm lands. In 1858 the Boston Post
Road, for the most part, passed
through an unbroken wilderness, and
the road itself was a trail, beset by
dangers OF one sort or another. The
motor tourist finds the road perfectly
planned In every way. and in a letter
from far-seeing Gov. Lovelaee to Gov
Winthrop one reason is clearly shown.
Said the governor:
