DESEARCH Of q highly prac-
~ teal nature is that Of the
National Research Councils
Highway Research Board on
such questions as the relative ef-
fects of different types Of roadbed
on the wear Of automobile tires
and on the consumption Of gaso.
line and oil.
Thus far the roads found to
show the least wear on tires are
those constructed Of concrete and
brick. This is, perhaps. what
most automobiles who give any
attention to such matters would
have expected. Over hard.
smooth, unyieIding surface the
wheels run easily, without bounc-
ing or EARRING, and one may feel
pretty certain that when driver
and passengers are comfortable
in that respect the tires are con.
tented also.
But there may be some sur.
prise over the wide differences
OF wearing effects shown by diff
ferent types Of roads, as they are
reported by Prof. s. S. Steinberg,
of the University Of Maryland,
who is associated with the Re-
search Board mentioned, and
whose conclusions are abStracted
by Science Service.
Pavement Easier
For instance, it appears that
while the average loss Of weight
from wear by each tire is about
one ounce for every. 500 miles run
on brick or concrete, it is from
two to seven times as great on
gravel roads, and the wear on
macadam varies from 10 to SO
times the wear on concr ate or
brick. depending upon the condi-
ton Of the surface.
The next point considered in
the summing up of the results of
the research concerns the rela-
tive degree Of wear on front and
rear tires. This, too, in a general
way accords with what common
observation shows, but still 1t has
some cumulative surprises.
Thus 1t Is found that the wear
of the front tires is from so to
Is per cent less than that IF the
rear ones. The relatively greater
wear of the rear tires Is attributed
by Prof. Steinberg to 1.-The bound.
ing and spring Of the rear wheels
when travelling over rough sur
faces"
In connection with this comes
an interesting and informing
statement which sufficiently ex-
plains the remarkable Impressions
often made on the ground when q
heavy car is quickly put In mo.
ton:
Experiments show that when
we start our cars from rest the
rear wheels exert a downward
kick on the pavement rsOagiag
