Word: car miles Part of Speech: noun 1. plural of car mile Labels: form-of, plural
Word: car mileage Part of Speech: noun 1. Car miles collectively. Labels: countable, uncountable Example: The figures which I submitted at Detroit two years ago, and which were based upon the ton mileage, indicated that the total car mileage for the year 1890, was about 11,878,947,768 miles. Had the whole number of roads reported to the commission for the year 1892, it is fair to assume that the total car mileage would approximate twelve billion miles, which, of course, includes the item given above showing the mileage of private cars. Example: That the passenger car mileage for the entire system for the year ending June 30th, 1906, was 44,779,961 miles, of which 6,812593 miles or 15.214 per cent., was in the state of Washington. 2. The amount paid by one railroad for the use of cars of another railroad. Labels: countable, uncountable Example: I need not say to any auditor, or any person who has ever had anything to do with the keeping and returns of car mileage, that if car mileage is properly kept and honestly returned, it would not involve ten per cent (our auditor says five) additional clerical force or time to return each car, over the present “aggregate returns” system. And this leads me to speak of the fact, that but few—even among railroad men—know how small mileage the average of freight cars (and of course freight car-wheels) is in a year. Example: Mr. Breed, purchasing agent and president's secretary of the Louisville and Nashville R. R., was called to the chair, and on taking it he said that two years ago last spring the question of individual car mileage was brought up at the Purchasing Agents' Convention. He stated that the keeping of the mileage of the passenger cars and engines was a very simple matter, from the fact that they are always on their own road. As far as freight cars were concerned, it was more difficult to obtain their mileage, from the fact that they were for a great portion of the time of foreign roads. 3. Used other than figuratively or idiomatically: see car, mileage. The number of miles that a car (or a similar vehicle) drives. Labels: countable, uncountable Example: The ratio of average annual truck mileage to passenger car mileage is therefore 1.23. Example: It is our experience and our belief, based upon our studies, that with proper tire care, and we mean the kind of care that is available through tire-service stations but which the owner has not heretofore found necessary because he had unlimited supplies of new rubber available, will increase the average car mileage from 18,000 miles to a conservative figure of 32,000 miles.
