UNCLE SAM AS TRUCK USER
Govsrnment Introduces Standardiza-
tion Which Is. Expected to Be of
Big Value to Industry.
The fact that Uncle Sam has
standardized his trucks, so that any
part broken in action may be re-
placed by a similar part taken from
another truck, does not necessarily
mean that the most efficient delivery
system can be obtained only by the
use of a fleet of trucks identical in
model and design, says H. W. Slau-
son, in Leslie’s. It does mean, how-
ever, that there must te at least a
certain standardization of methods
and a certain interchangeability of
parts which will enable each truck
to spend its actual time in the most
effective service. . .1
What the truck industry has need-
ed most has been a standardized sys-
tem of truck installation, operation
and cost keeping. Without such a
system it is impossible to determine
whether a truck or a fleet of trucks
is operating at its maximum effi-
ciency or whether an improvement
of acme 50 or even 100 per cent in
effectiveness could be made by a
change here or an elimination of
waste effort there. Now, however, it
seems probable that this deficiency
is to be changed, and that Uncle
Bam, as the world’s greatest truck
user, will evolve a truck system
which will pfove of intestimable
benefit to every user of trucks be-
fore, and during, as well as after the
war.

Mechanically Operated Loading Devloa
Keeps Belt Filled, Despite Con-
tinuous Use.
There comes now an inventor with
the significant name of Ford—not
Henry, however—with some start-
ling improvements for the machine
gun, asserts Edward C. Crossman in
the Popular Science Monthly.
The first one is a mechanically op-
erated loading machine to keep the
belt of the gun filled all the time re-
gardless of fire and the duration
thereof. The belt loader is operated
by the power of the machine on
which the gun is mounted, this to be
motorcycle, motor tricycle, automo-
bile, airplane or other power vehicle.
The second is a circulating water
coolihg system, a la automobile, in
which the water passes from the
jacket around the gun barrel to a
regular automobile radiator, which
in turn is cooled by a fan driven by
the power that operates the loading
mechanism and which in turn is
merely the power plant of the car. A
centrifugal pump makes the water
move, although it would surely ther-
mQsiphon hurriedly if this system
were used instead of the pump.
The third startler is the fact that
the gun is designed to be an integral
part of its carriage, which is a gas
engine propelled vehicle. Perhaps
this idea w»3 borrowed from the
fighting airplane, in which the ma-
chine gun is rigidly mounted to fire
through the propeller.
REASONABLE DEMAND. •
“Are you in favor of an eight-hour
working day?”
“I don’t go so far as that,” replied
Fanner Jacob. “If my boy Jake
was to work three a day two days in
| succession I’d think lie was doing
i purty well.”
