These figures may be in- fluenced by the style of automo- bile construction, the condition of the road, the weight and distribution of the load, and the experience’ or ig- norance and the care or carelessness of the chauffeur. Inflation has sore or less to do with resiliency, tho the latter is fi- nally depended .upon construction and innate quality. Other things be- ing equal, it is better for the strain of the load tq fall‘upon the tire than upon, the springs; for if air was ever intended to do anything in this world outside of being the medium that people breathe it was surely intend- ed to furnish a cushion on which au- tomobiles might the more easily ride. If you inflate a* tire to 70 pounds pressure and put a load of 800 pourids on your machine, you will find. that it runs more smoothly than if you feduce this load to 700 pounds, since up to a certain limit a heavier load promoted comfort, just as the modern lowslung, , close-to-the street trolley, car is very’ superior to the older} high-built, loose-sounding rattle-trap.
