A LIGHT CAR WEIGHING 1,750 POUNDS .\ND TR.WELING 25 MILES- 



per hour, covers 2,200 feet per minute and moves with a force 

 of nearly 4,000.000 foot pounds. \ heavy car weighing 5,300 

 pounds and going at 40 miles per hour, travels 3.520 feet per 

 minute, moving with a force in e.xcess of 18,500,000 foot pounds. 

 Tire testing experts say the force of road shocks runs into the 

 millions. Load the car with passengers or increase the speed and 

 you increase these forces millions more. To stand such strains,, 

 a standard make five-inch cord tire has 20 to 26 cords per inch. 

 Though each cord has a strength of fifteen pounds, there are 

 eight plies or layers of these cords. This gives the five-inch tire 

 a strength in fabric carcass alone of 2,400 to 3.000 pounds to the 

 square inch, irrespective of strength given by otlier parts. — Miller
