European and American Manufacturers Favor Two Diamet- ncaifUpposite Types, Flexible and Ifcgid " The motorist today drives the most mechanically, perfect machine yet derised by man, iwapJ the con certed opinion of engineers -who attended the National Automobile .Show in New Vprk jilait week. Leaders of the j industry predict that future development will cen ter about building safer fend more artistic bodies, ,.'!! . New styles in bodies ' was the among manufacturers at the show. major topic - under discussion Two'types are Jbeing proposed, one finding its popularity )n Europe and one in America. Europeans are developing-',) a" flexible body composed of a wooden frame held together by metal joints; jwhich al low considerable movement, cov ered by a cloth or imitation leath- ; er finish. The Americans are forging ahead with . an all-steel body built upon the principle of the all-steel railway rdach for greater strength in , case of acci dents. ;j ' These .two bodies wre exten sively discussed by J. R; Edwards in the automobile show number of Automobile Digest. : 1 "Designers have departed from the middle grpund : of ' . wooden framing made as rigid as possible, to prevent' the squeaks and rattles that are so annoying,"! Mr. Ed wards says. : ''While they have the same object ink view, they, have taken widely divergent paths to accomplish their" purpose. Those advocating one; type have pur posely made the body fes - flexible at possible. - They havb adhered to the wooden framing but instead- of the wooden parts dove tailing into one anotherj the Joints are left open, the connection be ing made by metal strips similar to limited hinges and jj which al low each Joint to-give under the strain With a rigid exterior; such as metal, this type: of construction would be worse than useless, for It would Immediately j result in atiffening of the body.: To ob viate this, fabric covering is called upon, to give the same freedom of motion to the entire body that the type of framing allows, "As stated, the f ran ,ng' is very light when compared to -that of - the normal automobile1 body. Un like the normal automobile body also, the flexible. framing is built upon the chassis1 piece by piece where it remains until; the job is completed.4- -. jj "When the frame isi completed light but strong canvas is stretch ed over it to form a! foundation for padding: this is needed to pro ride a swelled surface upon which to apply the outer covering of leather cloth, j I - "Its advantages aTej j First, the body Is flexible from the start, so that there are no joints to loosen; second, since practically none of J the wooden parts actually touch each other, their movement as the body flexes cannot set! UP squeaks. This is in contrast to rigid wooden joints which when theM do become loosened. allow the steral pieces to rnb upon each other. It has a third advantage in light weight. Its cost is figured to; be about 75 per cent of other custom-made bodies: I : "Its principle disadvantage is probably-thatiof frailness. The leather cloth covering! can easily be torn in minor collisions. In major: accidents, incorporating turnover, the body would probably be completely j demolished. Not only would the: body be destroyed, but It would offer rici protection to the occupants. In jcase of such an accident. Practically all of us have seen at least one accident Jn which the car hai (turned tur tle, with the body of! the car sup oortinr the chassis and allowing the occupants to escape practically uninjured. - Had the j body col lapsed, and the weight of the en tire chassis brought upon those in th car. a different story would have been told. This body is be tnz taken. ; od very seriously In Enrobe. " : . ,' ! "It Is rather untlkeiy thatthis type of body will evei be used to any great extent in tbia country, vet it Is of JnterestHi indicating tha dissatisfaction of many engin eertf iwith the present wood and metal body, and their efforts ' t6 npply ; the one that will jmore nearly conform -to the ; require ment of the automobile. j ' "A direct 'opposite to the type of body just described is the all steel body, being advocated) by a group of American engineers, and actually adopted In some Instances as standard equipment in j this country.-: : : - .:,;!( L. . ,f "The advantages of the al-steel body In comparison to the wood-and-metal body, as presented by Its advocates, are strength per manence, absence of squeaks and rattles,, and lightness. J -"Due to the greater strength of steel, much less of this material need be used. The relative strength of wood and steel is pic tured In one of the accompanying illustrations. Moreover, steel is a more tractable material j than wood, and it can be formed into sections that provide even greater strength for the amount of ma terial used than la apparent from the relative strength of steM and wooa. a pillar or beam can b constructed of steel that will not only be stronger than a similar one of wood, but also lighter. Thus bodies may be built with steel framing that are both strong er and lighter than the same body Duiit upon a foundation of; wood. This feature not only makes tos- sible a, lighter and stronger body; but also allows many of the body parts to be made smaller, provid ing more, room .inside the body with the same outside dimensions. "The pillarsfbetween the doors in closed bodies, and between the doors and the windshield, may also be made (of smaller dimen sions, allowing clearer j vision. More than one1 accident has oc curred because a portion : of the road was concealed from -the driv er by a wide strip of body Be tween the front door and the windshield. ' ! 'It is in the frame joints, how ever, that the biggest advantage in the all-metal frame is to be had. With metal these joints may be riveted or welded together, making the several parts-las firm as if they were actually 'of one piece." There are no screws to loosen undeV'fepeated strains and twists or from 'Welling and shrinking of the wood under sea sonable changes. j "From the standpoint of safety. the steel body leaves little to be' desired. The principal reason for the modern all-steel railroad coach is the safety to passengers it af fords in case of a wreck.) There is no' reason why the all-steel au tomobile body should not furnish proportionate amount of safety in case of an automobile accident, particularly cases' involving a turnover of a closed body! .job. A modern all-steel body has suffi cient strength to support Its chas sis in practically any type of turn over, excepting, of course, a drop down over the side of a precipice. and even in such a case it should furnish more protection 'than a body whose principal framing is of wood. j "Designers today are; dissatis fied with the old combination wood and metal bodies. : In their. quest for a suitable one, they have taken opposite paths. One to a body of wood and cloth; that is flexible in every part, the other to an. Inflexible steel body design ed to remain inflexible. Which will become the final type, time will tell, but the less freskfsh. all metal body would seem, to have the superior handicap.": COMMISSIONERS COURT (Continued (nm pin 4)"" cuM laying laying cul- 2.40 " 2.40 1.60 1.60 1.60 37.00 9.00 15.00 24.00 42S.85 25.00 3.00 ; 1.60 r 1.60 20 50 Reiger, Joe, vert', . . . .
