Hauling Logs On Air

HIRRING along under un

W wieldy and dead-weight loads of

giant logs, Goodyear Pneumatic Cord Truck Tires have decisively proved their worth in lumber hauling in Florida.

Unquestionably there is little else in heavy hauling duty which is more arduous or trying than the grind of transporting huge timbers from the woods to a sawmill over a slippery sand trail.

Such conditions are encountered at Thonotosassa where the Mickler Lumber Company employs two 34-ton International trucks with trailers, all Goodyear-shod, to carry log loads averaging three a four-mile route, three-quarters of which measures a hard pull through deep sand.

half tons, made three round trips a day over the route described.

Contrast, then, the immense improvement in hauling speed and volume accomplished by these pneumatic-equipped motor transports which travel at a 15-milean-hour rate over the bad trail and make nine round trips each day. Their record totally eclipses all previous

Former attempts to negotiate this particular distance regularly with solid tire equipment were abandoned after many delays caused by the inability of this type of tire to secure traction in the soft ruts.

And these trucks and trailers, with Goodyear Pneumatic Cord Truck Tires bearing the brunt of the work, have permanently replaced two four-mule teams which, pulling loads of two and one

experience on the route, putting any consideration of even partial solid tire equipment out of the question and representing the delivery of 54,000 pounds a day as against 15,000 pounds with the mules.

Despite this immense increase in the work the expense of running each truck and trailer has been only five dollars a day higher than the former

cost for each mule team, so that logs are now delivered for considerably less than half the previous figures.

Thus Goodyear Pneumatic Cord Truck Tires, known as most economical on long hauls, have proved a distinct economy on these very short hauls and further emphasis is given to their tough construction which withstands the bad road conditions and the splinter-littered sawmill yard.

Except for small German outposts, fliers

Americans complete the capture of
Bultry and Belleau Woods and take
part of Wavrille Wood and Playon de
Traye.

October 25.-Despite desperate resistance by the Germans, east of the Meuse, states a dispatch from field headquarters, the Americans drive the enemy from the eastern ridge of the Bois d'Ormont. West of the Meuse, in the region of Grand pré, they straighten out their lines and capture several important ridges. The American line is also extended between Rappes Wood and Bantheville Wood.

The British push forward more than two miles south of Valenciennes, capturing Querenaing and Sepmeries, while on the north Odomez is taken. Les Tuileries, east of Solesmes, is also taken after stiff fighting. Since October 23, 8,400 prisoners and over 100 cannon have been captured in this section.

Austin No. 10-L Standard Wood Construction, showing new type of Austin Wood Lattice Truss. For those industries where
heating or ventilating ducts are necessary the Austin Timber Truss is recommended.

Ready for all Essential Industries

In Austin No. 10 Standard wood construction you'll find the same unobstructed, working spaces, and the same overhead clearance ventilation and lighting as possessed by its steel prototype.

Austin No. 10 Wood Trusses, Lattice or Timber, are both exact duplicates of the steel truss in point of strength. They carry the same shafting or monorail loads as the steel truss. Shafting can be placed at any desirable points. Provision is made for the addition of a crane-runway if desired.

Austin No. 10 Standard is approximately 150 ft. wide and may be built any length in multiples of 20 ft. Its width may be increased in multiples of 50 ft. The center aisle is approximately 50 ft. wide with a clearance of 31 ft. to the bottom chords of the roof trusses.

Ample floor-space for machine-shop work and assembling is provided by the two 50-ft. side aisles with 18-ft. clearance.

Where permit for steel buildings is not obtainable, investigate Austin Standard Wood Buildings. Let Austin Engineers give you complete engineering data covering the Austin Method of Wood Construction.
