The I-beam isthickened appreciably at the points where the radiusrods are fastened in order to resist nny stresses in-duced at those points. The balance of the axle is verysimilar to standard motor truck axle construction withthe exception that the camber is taken out of the spindles. The axle center at the steering heads is bushed withhardened and ground steel and the king pin is of nickelsteel carbonized, hardened and ground, the whole con-struction at this point being inclosed. The thrust istaken on two hardened and ground steel washers of largearea. The steering knuckles and steering arms are low. Shuler farm nickel chrome steel drop forgings, heat treated, the steer-ing arms being bushed with steel. The cross rod is ofcold-rolled steel. The rod ends are drop forgings, tied tothe arms with a hardened and ground pin. The steeringarm ball is of 3*4 per cent nickel steel, hardened andground, and may be located on either side of the axle witheither the fore and aft or cross type of steer. The tierod, however, is always placed behind the axle. The wheelspindles are equipped with Timken roller bearings. The Shuler Axle Mfg. Co., who build these axles, supplywheels of their own design also if desired, these beingeither a fabricated type of wheel or an integral castwheel of malleable iron. 748 AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRIES THE AUTOMOBILE April 7, 1921 A Device for Automatic Control of Airplanes Is designed to relieve the pilot from fatigue in long flights.
