RESCUE

TRUCKS TRIED
Stiff Competition Won By
Graham Truck With Dodge
Brothers Power Plant
. , For the urgent demands of
mine rescue work, the State of
Ohio required five more sturdy
trucks, In which the hardy crewB
of the rescue stations could he
rushed to the scene of mine fires
or explosions. To prove which of
many competing trucks was most
suitable for this rigorous work.
the official committee In charge of
this purchase decided to hold a
test run starting from Columbus,
and open to all comers. When the
test began, it was found that seven
different trucks of well-known
makes were entered in the com
petition. -. The run began from Coiumbus
to Jackaontown. thence over a de
tour to Thornville, and on to New
Lexington. After covering 4 0
miles over good pavements varied
with moderately bad roads, the
trucks were strung out for many
miles along the road. The first
to reachNew iex:nKton vas Gra
ham Brothers truck with Dodge
Brothers power plant.
For a conclusive test of hill
climbing power, the committee de
cided to continue the run to Lick
Run Hill, considered the worst
hill In the state. It is a mile and
a quarter long, unimproved, with
many bad curves and a grade of

from 18 per cent to 22 per cent.
For this final test, each truck was
loaded with approximately 4,000
pounds of pay load and body.
Graham Drotiers truck, as the
first to reach N'ew Lexington, was
chosen to bre3k the way. At a
point 100 feet up the hill it lost
traction and the driver was force 1
to back down 20 feet and start
again. This time he ' plowed
through to the top without any
trouble. No chains were used Ono
after another the six other trucks
made the attempt to plow up
through the mud, all of them u?
Ing chains. One advanced 50 feet
in 7 minutes. Another took 14
minutes to make the initial 30
feet of the climb, then stalled for
lack of power. None of the six ad
vanced more than 75 feet towards
the top of the hill, a mile and a
quarter distant.
For the committee, the test
was conclusive, but certain of the
competing drivers pointed out that
the only truck to make the grade
had the advantage of going np bo
fore the road was cut up. Billy
Morris, the driver of the Graham
Brothers truck, overheard them.
He proceeded to the top of the
hill, brought down his truck, and
tins time using chains, sailed up
the hill a second time withou. halt
or hesitation.

test, Charles Zimmerman Sonji Go.

Harry . Wenderoth. head of the
collections department of Ladd &
Bush bank, is the purchaser of
the first 1922 Special Six Stude
baker owned in the city of Sa
lem. The new model has many sur
prises in the way of additional
equipment and changes for com
fort and im?chanical efficiency.
Among these are new body lfties.
a dash clock, a cowl ventilator,
a locking side pocket for tools,
a one-piece windshield, latest
style barrel head lamps, built-in
parking lamps, transmission lock
cover and bevel plate crystal-
cover ignition and lighting switch
es.
Mechanically, the new model
has several improvements whicjh
add materially to the car. The
most radical change is in the
clutch, which is a single disc dry
plate clutch, with an anti-spin
brake. The new car has also an
improved hot-spot intake manifold
which vaporizes the gasoline, a
feature not generally found in
cars selling under $3000. Both
carburetor and manifold have
changed positions rendering the
working 'parts more accessible.
Another feature not found in cars
in less than the $3000 class Is
found in the Timken roller bear
ings In the steering knuckle and
steering worm. These give the
new car a maximum of eace in
steering and prevent wear on the
working parts.
