WINTER DRIVING TESTS

MADISON. wis. -(P)--A lot Of
devices have been dreamed up to
give automobiles more traction in
ice and snow, but ordinary chains
are still the kingpins.
That's one of the conclusions
reached by Prof. Archie Easton OF
the University Of Wisconsin in 10
years Of testing many devices. He
is director of motor vehicle re-
search at the college Of engineer
ing.
Research revealed that reinforced
chains increase the driving efficien-
cv of regular tires on ice 4O9 per
cent, on hard-packed snow 3l3 per
cent. and increase their braking
efficiency on ice 153 per cent and
on hard-packed snow So per cent
Winter tread mud-snow tires
usually give at least 40 per cent
more efficiency in driving and Y
per cent more in braking on ice
and II per cent more efficiency II
driving and 33 more in braking OF
hard-packed snow.
Sanders in front Of regular tire'
increase their driving efficiency ~
per cent and their braking efficien
cv Is per cent on ice, and thei
driving efficiency 80 per cent Of
n hard-packed snow. But the sander
do no good at all in braklng o.
snow; the tests show.
