The word “coupe” was applied @riginally to a four-wheeled closed arriage for two persons inside, with Mm outside seat for the driver. It is Gerived from the French word mean- ing “to cut,” and is so called because it gives the appearance of a larger e cut in half. The word was taken over and applied to the nt inclosed car with one seat a driver's seat and an ‘The word “sedan” ts probably one Of the oldest terms applied to a ve- Ricle for transportation.

This name takes @ peculiar significance now, when is remembered that the sensation- al advance of Pershing’s fighters had reached Sedan when the armis- tice was signed.

Today it Is applied to the chauffeur driven car with an in- Glosed compartment.

Engineers to direct the work of turning the Goodyear Los Angeles land into a real factory site are ex- pected daily. When they begin their work the famous Ascot race track, where the late “Lucky” Baldwin had many of his racing triumphs, will disappear, for Ascot ia included in the Goodyear tract. The Goodyear Tire & Rubber company of California will be cap italized at $20,000,000; the Pacific Cotton mills at $5,000,000, F. A. Seiberling, creator and still president of the famous Goodyear en- terprise at Akron, Ohio, is spending @ busy week around Los Angeles, di- recting the beginning of the work. He is particularly desirous that there be no delays and that the tire factory and cotton mill be operated active ly well within a year, for Goodyear trade conditions are such that the company’s output {fs already over sold and no real product expansion can be attempted at Akron because of the crowded housing condition that exists there. Following Goodyear’s example, it ig understood that other industries are coming west of the Rockies with tributary factories, for the business field thus opened up is not confined to American states alone, but places production right at the gates of the Mighway to a great export market.

Schedules and Routings Are Motor Transport Features “One of the problems operators of trucks must face is the question of effective scheduling and routing. Care- ful planning and study of the territory to be covered, the intervals of trips, the density of traffic and other factors says W. D. Albright, branch are/have a direct bearing on profits of motor truck delivery, manager of the B. F. Good- rich Rubber company, who offers some valuable sugges- tions for fleet owners. First, the truck operator should definitely fix In his mind that the zone ig the basis of the delivery system. With the zones correctly outlined the delivry system bullded upon them will undoubtedly func- tion successfully. After an order is received it should be immediately “zoned.” Bins, demountable bodies, hampers and trunks should bear zone numbers, likewise invoices, shipping tickets and tally sheets. Drivers become familiar with fixed zones and eventually put in practice many shortcuts. Without fixed zones it would be impossible for the truck dispatcher to figure the probable time of deliveries, He would not know what load to pre- pare next or what truck to expect. Delivery costs would be difficult to figure. Unprofitable trips would be made without the truck opera- tor’s knowledge. . The first step in planning an ef- fictent delivery zone is to secure a map of the territory covered. This map should be sufficiently large tn scale to plainly designate all streets, roads, bridges, docks and ferries, It should hang in plain sight of everyone connected with the delivery system, including order fillers, dispatchers, loaders and drivers. It should be studied with thoughts of everlastingly seek- ing new routes. Weeks and proba- bly several months may be con- sumed before a satisfactory zone of delivery is layed out. Time re- quired to establish a system is well spent, for a well designated delivery route is as valuable as the truck that travels it. The route should be well balanced, serve the maximum number of customers with the least idle time, make use of the shortest cuts, traverse the best pavements, and avoid covering the same ground twice. After a careful study of the city map has been made the question of time analysis must be solved. Distance of trips is learned from the map, but time acheduling of trips is developed by experiments. The time study of the map meas- ures idle time, loading time and time made in stops. After dependa- ble figures on time to cover a East 9 given route, or the time distance between important points on & given route have been acquired, the operator is in a position to do further planning and arranging of his zone to increase their effective- ness. Among other elements entering into scheduling truck transporta- tion ts making the*schedules dove- tail with those of trains, ferries, and so forth, whose schedules can- not be changed. The same problem may be met by a study of street traffic by getting data on the time of street and bridge congestion. Probably one of the biggest money-saving {ideas adopted by truck operators is the sub-station, or depot for rehandling of orders. Large trucks carrying enormous loads of bundles go from the store to the sub-station without a stop. There they leave their loads and return, Light, fast and compara- tively inexpensive delivery cars split up the load and deliver bun- dies from house to house. The advantages of sub-station delivery are quickly obvious, One has merely to {magine an $800 de- livery car and a $5,000 truck stand- ing side by side to realize that it is costing less to deliver the par- cel with the small truck, and that with hundreds of deliveries to be made the difference In cost Is quite pronounced. In many cases the sub-station may also be used as a garage. The routing and planning of a delivery wagon system is similar in many ways to the problems of the railroad builder, “Tracks” must be laid over which the trucks must travel. Very few systems are per- fect. New ideas and time saving methods are continually presenting themselves to the open-minded, progressive motor truck operator. ABOUT BEARINGS In replacing a bearing on the front wheel spindle, on which it is a tight fit, owners often make the mistake of slipping the bearing on to the taper of the spindle and forcing it home by putting the wheel on and hammering wheel and bearing on at the same time, Frequently the hard- ened shoulder of the inner face is broken by this operation, because it is intended to withstand wear, but not sudden shocks like this. The proper method of doing the job is to slip a short piece of pipe over the spindle and hammer the outer |end carefully until the bearing slips into place, after which the wheel should be put on. A man may be the architect of his own fortune, but he can't induce the sun to shine In every room, slogan should be “Bulld now the na-| tional and county roads that are) needed “Everyone interested is thoroly convinced that the time is near at hand when all of the main high- ways should be built for heavy truck traffic,” says Wm. M. Hart- ford, general sales manager of the Shields-Livengood Motor Co., distrib utors of Traffic and Standard trucks for the states of Washington and Idaho. “With every mile of new road in the dealers’ territories the farmers and motor transport men «become more interested in trucks. There ts where the dealers’, part comes in., If you have your finger on the pulse of your com- munity you will know the men who are interested in trucks, and when you show @ truck with standard equipment thruout, he is sure to turn from a@ prospect to a satisfied | user.” This is a part of the problem that the truck dealer must solve with) the assistance of the distributor and| manufacturer. Most farmers, or any: | one who has hauling to do or does hauling, are ready to accept the big idea of “ship by truck.” The far-| mer who can ride to town for pleas | ure at the rate of 40 miles per hour! is not going to be satisfied with| hauling his products to town at a rate of five miles per hour, hence) the big fertile field for the sale of| trucks is with the farmer and rural dweller, \ 1920 BUICK | WINS FAVOR) That the 1920 Buick lives up in every way to past records is the good word brought back by A. 8. Eldridge, president of Eldridge Buick Com. pany, who has been on an extended trip to the Buick factory at Flint, Mich, “The Unes of the 1920 Buick open models are practically the same as those of 1919,” says Mr. Eldridge, “but the design of the closed modeis will prove @ treat to every fine car enthusiast.
