Officially the trip started at Wash

from Baltimore with San Francisco as
its final destination. The expedition

motor trucks, t motorcycles and 8 pas
senger cars. The motor trucks ftnd
motorcycles were driven by men of the
detachment while the convoy's officers
drove the passenger cars.
The cavalcade came through Rich
mond, Raleigh, Charlotte, Atlanta,
Memphis, Little Rock, Texarkana,
Dallas, Fort Worth, El Paso, Blsbee,
Tucson, Yuma, 151 Oentro, San Diego,
and Los Angeles to San Francisco over
route embracing every conceivable
road condition.
Among the main purposes of the
cross country tour was the desire to
obtain first hand evidence concerning
the performance of pneumatic cord
tires on heavy army trucks, and with
this object about half the trucks in the
convoy were pneumatic tire equipped.
Extensive reports were made daily
concerning the. operation of the solid
tired freighters and the trucks wear
ing pneumatics. Based on these daily
records, a comprehensive report Is to
be made later by the commanding of
ficer to the War Department, showing
the compartlve efficiency of the
trucks on these two types of tires.
As pneumatic tires had never before
figured heavily in tours sof this kind
the officers "played safo" and trans
ported a large supply of spares for use
in emergencies. But so little trouble
was experienced with the pneumatic
that a whole truck load of spares was
left at El Pasco, as it was quite evid
cnt no use for them would develop.
Two large trucks on Goodyear pneu.
mattes, the B2 and B7, .wearing 38x7
front and 40x8 rear tires, completed
the entire transcontinental pjourney
without a single tire change, arriving
at the coast with the original Mary
land air in the tires.
- And despite the exacting road con
ditions, ranging from southern swamps
to western deserts and rocky moun
tain roads, the tires finished the tour
In fine condition, appearing good for
many more miles of service. In addi
tion to the pair of trucks that came
through without a tire change, a num
her of trucks on Goodyears came
through wkh only one or two replace
ments of tire equipment. , .
Officers and men are unanimous in
their praise of the service rendered
