According to officers interested in the subject, it is the endeavor to evolve a vehicle with a demjountable self-la) ing track, so that’ in case of bad roads or across country the caterpi lar traction may be used, and where good roads are available the track may be taken off and the vehicle may travel on rubber-tired wheels. This purpose has been attained in the Crristie mount, it is claimed. and further studies and experiments are being made to bring it to a higher degree of perfection. Preliminary trials indicate that the combination wheel and caterpillar mount pos- sesses’ gredt- possibilities. Promotion and Back Pay.
