AN AUTO WHEEL WITH SPRINGS. 



TTIE Standard Resilient Wheel Co., 62 Reade street, Xew 

 •'■ York, has been at work for some time on an automobile 

 wheel in wliich the resiliency is to be provided by steel springs 

 in place of pneumatic tires. The wheel is made entirely of steel 

 but has a solid rubber tire. The resiliency, which it is claimed 

 equals fully one inch (which is considerably in excess of the 

 resiliency of the pneumatic tire) comes from the constant play 

 when the car is in motion of i2 steel springs. 



There are 8 hollow steel spokes, at each end of which are 

 two steel springs. Connected with these springs is a piston 



which plays in 

 the hollow 

 spoke for about 

 half its length. 

 The accom- 

 panying cut 

 shows two 

 of these springs 

 at the inner 

 end of the 

 spoke. There 

 are two similar 

 sprnigs at the 

 outer end where 

 the spoke meets 

 the rim. The 

 wheel is so con- 

 structed that 



_ n iir when the car 



Stand.^ri) Re.silient Wheel • . ^ ^x_ 



IS at rest the 



wheel is rigid, and none of the sprmgs are extended ; but when 



the car is in motion the springs yield to every obstacle and 



absorb the natural jar and jolt of rough roadways. Not only 



are the springs directly over the point of contact affected, but 



all the 32 springs are constantly at work contributing to the 



general resiliency of the wheel. 



The advantage claimed for this wheel is the avoidance of 

 all trouble and annoyance, and the saving of about half the 

 expense of the pneumatic tire ; as with this wheel a solid rubber 

 tire is good for twice the service that it would give on an 

 ordinary wheel. While the first cost of this wheel is greater 

 than that of the ordinary wheel, it is claimed that this extra 

 cost will be more than balanced by the extra service of the 

 first two tires used upon the wheel. 



This Standard wheel has been given a great many tests in 

 the vicinity of New York but on June 10 a Thomas car, 

 equipped with four of these wheels, will start for Chicago and 

 other points in the West on a six weeks' trying-out trip. 



The fire at the South Boston warehouse of the American Wax 

 Co., which occurred on May 4, did not interfere with the ability of 

 that company to make its usual deliveries. This was an extra 

 warehouse, kept only to supply local rush orders and for export 

 orders that could not w.iit for the regular sailings of Baltimore 

 steamers. The company immediately secured the three buildings 

 formerly occupied by the Farrington Co., in Jamaica Plain, which 

 gives it twice the store area which it previously had and within 

 a week's time it had a new supply on hand sufficient for any re- 

 quirements.
