TYPICAL "FOUR WHEEL DRIVE" TRUCK. STEERS ON ALL FOUR WHEELS. ORDINARY COMMERCIAL "TWO WHEEL DRIVE" TRUCK. STEERS ON FRONT WHEELS ONLY
MOTOR TRANSPORT FOR FIELD ARTILLERY or opinions expressed are purely personal and have no official sanction. Macadam, dirt and soft-cinder roads as well as the rock testing road, shown in Fig. 8, were available on the Arsenal grounds, also sodded ground, plowed fields, deep gumbo and wet bog such as shown in Figs. 16 and 17. Hills with almost any desired grade were within a few minutes run of the reservation, and in general the difficulties likely to be encountered in field service were better simulated than might be expected on a small reservation practically within city limits. Trucks used for commercial hauling, farm tractors of the wheeled type, such as shown in Fig. 13, and tractors of the caterpillar type shown in Fig. 15, are the three commercial types possessing probable usefulness for artillery purposes and one or more representatives of each class were tested. The general appearance of all trucks is about the same, and barring size and technical details the principal features of construction of most of them are similar. There is, however, a growing minority designed especially for country delivery, desert hauling, ore transportation, etc., and these are naturally the ones that may be best expected to keep moving in field service when good roads are not available. Fig 2 shows schematically the principal mechanical features of each type. The arrangement of the ordinary truck shown at the bottom is essentially the same as that of the ordinary pleasure car. Power is delivered to the rear wheels only, and the reductions in speed and increase in torque of the moving parts made in the transmission case (containing the change speed gears) and in the axle differential (which takes care of difference of speed of wheels in turning corners) are moderate. In other words the torque at the wheels is sufficient for all ordinary cases but not for extraordinary ones. None of the weight carried on the front wheels adds to the grip of the power wheels on the ground. Brakes are on two wheels only and good, but hardly good enough, for extreme conditions unless carefully adjusted. 27
