Highways on Pacific Coast Show Road Pull Variances
The California State Automobile Association, with Prok J. B. Davidson and Austin B. Pletcher, conducted tests on a standard 6,000 pound wagon to measure required pulls on different road surfaces. Results show 27–30 lb per ton on smooth concrete, rising to 60 lb on surfaced concrete with screenings, and up to 218 lb on muddy earth roads.
