Wears Out Experiments Test Oil Used in Circulating Systems
Tests by Professors Carpenter and Sewden at Cornell University show oil used continuously in circulating systems gains viscosity and density as heat drives off constituents but friction coefficients shift slightly. Central oiling and filtration samples indicate that continued added fresh oil is needed to maintain near constant viscosity.

Nonskid Road Test Underway In Western Maryland
Authorities in the mountainous districts of Western Maryland conduct an experiment testing a new nonskid road surface. The trial uses macadam on a water bound binder with tar and polymer layers to reduce slipperiness when wet. Early results focus on traction under heavy traffic and wet conditions, aiming to curb accidents on steep grades and sharp curves.

Experimental paving binding shows safer traffic in wet weather
Early results indicate the binding material remains stable under rollers, with no flush and improved grip in wet conditions. Skidding of automobiles and trucks has been greatly reduced, making motoring safer while tests continue.
Winter Safety Claims for Freely Effective Tire Treads
Readers are urged to note the improved tread design that remains effective under icy sleet and freezing rain. The article argues that a longer step toward safety reduces slipperiness as well as tire wear, eliminating the need for chains in many winter conditions and promising home and travel cost savings.
