The stop light is con nected with both the brakes and accelerator of the car, said Ro ley. and flashes when the foot is lifted from the accelerator as well as when the brakes are ap plied, giving added protection to the car. Two small models of the trail er invented by H. R. Randleman were exhibited. Larry Meyer, an experienced trucker, explained the trailers and their actions on the road. The leverage principal and the coil springs used on the trailer will stabilize the load and avoid the shifting of weight on turns and it will float the load around the curves, said Meyer. The shock absorbing action of the spring assembly is perfect and neither the tires nor the' load is subject to the shock of fast starting or stopping. The coil spring, said Meyer, is far su perior to and outlasts a flat spring and it has the added ad vantage of being much lighter weight. A letter from the Bentnle Manufacturing company of Port land was read, stating the trailer had been equipped with Warner electric brakes and tested as to loads, speeds and miles enough to wear out one st oef tires. "We found that the action of the trail er was absolutely perfect when being brought to a halt by the electric brakes. We examined skid marks 150 feet long without a bounce, was the report. Randleman a berry farmer in 1 Rogue River, built two trailers which he has been using about his farm for three years and he has been very' generous in offer ing use of them to his friends and neighbors, thus the Rogue River men have had an opportu nity to test the trailers in action and all are enthusiastic over the plans to manufacture the trailer here.
