AUTO VIBRATIONS
BEST POINT FOUND
Engineers Session Told Two
or Three JoItS Per Second
Are Easiest.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, w. Va,
June I9.-The feeling Of an auto driver
that sometimes the ''old bus" takes the
bumps smoother than at others was
justified scientifically at the annual
meeting of the Society of Automotive
Engineers yesterday. :.
It Is all a matter of speed OF vertical
vibration. If the up and down motions
occur at the rate Of two or three per
second, they are more pleasing to the
average human body than at any other
rate. Even slower vibrations are more
annoying. Harmony In rhythm Is the
explanation.
Joint Report Made.
The statistics, gained from some new
testing devices recently built at Purdue
University, were presented in q joint
paper by H. M. Jaclin, professor OF
automobile engineering, and Ammon
Swope, professor of industrial educa-
ton. A shake meter was devised to
create artificially the vertical and the
horizontal vibrations Of standard auto
mobiles, and psychological tests were
used to obtain the reactions OF 81 per-
sons. The riders were II women from
19 to 40 years old and 81 men from
81 to SO.
In addition to the most pleasing rate
of vibration, the experiments showed
that apparently passengers body is
subjected to fairly large forces at fire.
quencies of between one and one-half
and Is vibrations per second"
A clue to fatigue of ankles and knees
was found In vibrations ranging from
6 to 10 per second. Within this range
those parts are subjected to greater
