Iowa Brothers Set New World’s Record in Ford
Governor John Hammill of Iowa (left) and Walter FerreII, executive secretary of the Iowa chapter of the American
Automobile Association (extreme right), congratulating the Davis brothers on the establishment of a new world’s
non-motor, non-wheel stop automobile endurance record.
▼ OWA state officials and civic leaders witnessed the
I establishment of a new world’s non-motor, non-wheel
A stop automobile endurance record recently, when
Ralph and Rolland Davis, brothers, brought their Model A
Ford to a halt at the east entrance of the state capitol In
Des Moines after 2,775 hours and 46 minutes of continuous
driving.
When Governor Hammill, standing with Walter Ferrell,
executive secretary of the Iowa Chapter of the American
Automobile Association, gave the signal to stop, the Ford
had traveled a total of 47,138.3 miles over all sorts of roads
In all sorts of weather and had exceeded by 33,680 miles
and more than 2,335 hours the American non-stop endur-
ance record which, theretofore officially recognized, was
made by a much heavier car under almost ideal condi-
tions on the Indianapolis speedway last year. In the course
of the endurance run, the car, known as “The City of Des
Moines,” covered practically the entire state of Iowa.
Engineers who examined the Ford at the conclusion of
the run asserted that neither engine nor chassis showed
evidence of the gruelling strains to which they were sub-
jected during the 116 days of continuous driving. Both
apparently, according to the engineers, would have been
good for another 50,000 miles or more.
