RUBBER IMPORTS UP

Eight Per Cent Increase This Year

Rubber. third a year ago among
the leading import commodities of the
United States, has leaped into first
place with a value more than double
that of last year, according to figures
of the Foreign Commerce Depart
ment of the Chamber Of Commerce
of the United States. The quantity
imported, however represents gain
of only 8 per cent. The increase in
value, at the same time, is III per
cent.
The average import price per pound
of crude rubber for the first half of
1925 was 34.5 cents. This year it has
reached 69.5 cents, slightly more than
double the cost last year.
The total value Of imported crude
rubber for the first six months of

BUMPS IN ROUGH ROADS HELD
SOURCE OF DAMAGE TO MOTOR

Motorists who have driven over
rough roads are conscious of the fact
that the procedure is quite annoying,
but actual figures on the tremendous
upward force impaired to the car by
even a slight bump should give them
a real surprise.
On a uniform rise Of only l inch IN
9 feet the upward acceleratiOn or
thrust in the case of car travelling
about 20 miles an hour equals the
weight Of the car. At any higher
speed the wheels of a vehicle that has
no springs would leave the surface
Of the road.
This Is pointed out by F. c. Mock.
research engineer of the Stromberg
Motor Devices Co, in the Journal OF
the Society of Automotive Engineers
for September in a paper on the ef-
feet of spring action on riding com
fort.
Effect OH Springs
With any spring interposed between
the wheels and the body, he says, the
upward force acting on the body is
much less, and the force Is decreased
as the spring is more flexible, but
since a spring is merely reservoir OF
energy, a further action occurs. The
spring yields on the bump, but after
ward not only returns to it's former
shape, but tends to go as far beyond
it as it had been compressed. For
this reason some persons say that
flexible springs, even though they
yield more on the bump, give hard rid
ing because of their large recoils.
Another factor to be considered.
however. is the time element. The
quick upward jolt Of the body occurs
in the time the car is passing directly
over the bump, and the spring COM
preston occurs simultaneously. The
recoil usually occupies a much longer
time, the car travelling forward 10
feet or more during the recoil period OF
the rear springs. Thus, whereas at
a speed of 80 miles an hour a stir
spring having an oscillation rate OF
120 per minute will jolt the body up
ward 9 inches in one-forty.fourth OF
second on 1-inch rise, a, spring twice
as flexible will jolt it upward only half
as far, and after the bump the stiff
spring will recoil 2 inches in % sec
onds and the flexible spring inches
in 35 seconds.
By using a recoil check or shock alb.
