Learning to Drive Advice for New Autoists

Adjusting Carburetor Guidance for Seasonal Tuning

How Many Tires We Use in the Nation
In round numbers there are 1 600 000 automobiles and each car needs at least four tires yearly. A conservative figure is six tires per car, totaling 9 600 000 tires. With 600 000 new cars in 1916 needing 2 400 000 tires, the minimum rises to 12 000 000 tires. Realistically the total is higher due to retreated tires and covers. Taxicabs and high powered cars may require up to 20 tires annually. Tire spending in 1914 in the United States probably exceeded 200 000 000 dollars.
