Eclipsing ;i]? previous exhibitions In genu?

at Mudlson Square Garden promises to
break all attendance records, .ven as the
pleasure ear display last week overshad
dowed all otliers. Replete with many at?

It Is not at all surprising that progres?
sive manufacturers are adopting ths self
starter, inasmuch as so much of the life
of a commercial vehicle Is occupied In
loading and unloading freight. Mnnv truck
motors are difficult t?> -rank, particularly
when cold, and operators keep the engine
running while loading nnd unloading to
dodge the effort of ?cranking This wastes
gasolene ard oil. besides having s tendency
to heat and wear out the motor. In this
respect self-Starters on commercial vehi- les
save considerable more money than they
do on pleasure cars

FAR AHEAD OF OLD RECORD
Aleo Truck Pounding Off the
Hours Over New Jersey Roads.
"did re-ord, i US hours; new record. 259
hours i and the non-stop Ale?? truck Is still
pounding on* the hours for the United
States Express ?ompany over the ley hills
of New Jersey."
That was the word received last night
from the crew in charge of this vehicle,
which Is engaged In what ta generally
considered the most practical demonstra?
tion of motor truck economy end reliability
e\-.?r held. When the shift of drivers
?hanged in the evening It was announced
that close to 150 tons of merchandise?
-"3t.2!r7 pound:?, to be exact?have been
liau!??d to their destinations since the run
.started Totals of 67:' miles and 934 stops
for purpose of loading and distributing
goods have been registered.
The truck continued In service yesterday,
contending with the same obstacles that
have beset It since the service began?
Ice coated hilly, bad roads, winds and near
zero weather. In twenty-four hours the
vehicle hauled ?7.S00 pounds of parcels and
boxes, .?.v'-red seventy-one miles and made
?four stops in the course of sixteen
nips between Connnunlpaw and Hoooken.
At tb ofBcea of the Aleo Harry 8.
manager of sales, expressed his
? at ion of the success of this remark
able truck.
"Figures received thus far on the service
performed show beyond doubt the su?
periority of the motor truck. This truck
has replaced five two-horse teams, which
means teh horses, and four men are doing
the work formerly calling for ten," said
Mr. Iloupt. "This run was undertaken to
prove bv actual business tests?the kind
that business men are Interested in?Just
what are the possibilities of the motor
truck."

Since the first arnouncement of the Stand

throughout the country has kept Mr. Kru? -
g<r and bis colleagues busy. Until the car
appeared at the Qrand <"?ntral Palace, how
did not appretsiate the demand
for a moderate priced electric car.
Th?- Standard electric he? tion at the show
.en liierally hoolng*id from the outset
bj spectators attracted by the modish lines
and the superior mechanicr-.l features of
? up?''. The common question has been:
' How can you sell It for so little money*"'
res which have elicited attention and
admiration are the long wheel base (%
i. low- hung frame, the non-vibrating
steering apparatus, and. most of all, the
straight Une shaft drive, without the uni?
versal Joint, and the continuous torque
controller, permitting of six speeds for
w.ir?l and three reverse, and a range of
from five to twenty-five miles an
hour.

THE NATIONAL AUTO SHOW, at New
Grand Central Palace, closes to-night at
10:30 P. M. It is the last opportunity of
the year to see in New York so many popular
makes of Passenger and Commercial Vehicles
displayed at the same time.
Th? predominant part played by motor vehi?
cles in solving the transportation problems of
to-day has given the annual Auto Show an
educational value never before so fully realized.
The present-day comfort in which a person
may ride and the dispatch and economy with
which commercial work may be accomplished
were unheard of a few years ago.
The closing hours of the Palace Show promise
to be even more busy than those which have
gone before. Prospective purchasers who have
left the final selection until the last moment
and exhibitors anxious to close all possible
sales will have their hands full until the end.
The National Auto Show at Grand Central
Palace will be the only sanctioned exhibition to
be neld in New York next year.

The Factor of Safety is Five
EVERY Aleo truck is built to
?withstand ? shock five time*
[greater than the norma] strain.
Tin- factor of safety built into the
Aleo trink is five. This is a high
factor,, an ?ill engineeri know. In a
hue?- ?bridge the factor of safety is
only two.
Aseume thai .?? five ton AlcoHruclr;
?with five tons aboard is travelling
aloug at nine miles an hour. Assume
that a rear ? bed drops accidentally into
a hole ton inches deep. The rear
springs, til?" ?rear axle anil the frame
are prepared for ?the shock.
They arc prepared for even a far
pnaior shock?and not only ono hut
hundreds and hundreds like it.
Por Aleo springs, and axles and
?Trames aro tested in the Aleo shops by
?Special superhuman machines which
register how much strain each can
withstand.
As an instance an Aleo truck is
run over the country near the Aleo
shops tor ?i road test. A wheel is
dropped into a bole. An instrument
attached records the strain in pounds
pressure. The Aleo engineers know
l)v ?leading the instrument if the
springs have the desired factor of
safety.
To test an nr\le in the Aleo physics
laboral on, the axle i-> plac-ed on a
machine representing spring seats and
wheel centers, und the load is applied.
If it is a five ton rear axle the
pressure applied is five times the
capacity load, or 25 tons, plus the
weight of the chassis. The machine
AMERICAN LOCOMOTIVE COMPANY,
which does the testing is capable of a
draw-bar pull of 500,000 pounds.
That is the reason ytm never .tee the
wheel* of an Alen truck toeing in at the
top and ont at the bottom. When a
tcheel toe* in at the top and out at the
bottom it is a sure indication of a ueak
a.rle.
Rut a largo factor of safety, such
as five, in the Aleo truck, does not
mean a super-heavy monster. a
The Aleo truck is no heavier than |
the average truck of its rating. The
reason for this is clear : by using
materials of high physical properties
with great ductility?materials that
show a high elastic limit and tensile
strength ? materials minus seams,
flaws, checks, pipes and cracks, the
weight can be reduced to a minimum.
The analysis and specifications
covering these materials are deter?
mined by long heat treating and labo?
ratory tests?an experience common to
the American Locomotive Company.
A large factor of safety also means
long life. No one can tell hozc many
years an Jico frame :cill last?perhaps
longer than a man s lifetime. A front
or a rear axle may last twenty, 'hirty
or forty years.
And thus through the truck. An
Aleo truck never wears out.
... ?
Few considerations are as impor?
tant in buying a truck as that of the
factor of safety. Study it in the Aleo
exhibit at the motor truck show. You
will see with your own eyes what a
transportation experience qf seventy-six
years means in motor truck building.
