Automotive industries . nd as theirusefulness must be apparent to every purchaser, it seemsa good plan to make them a part of the regular of bumpers also has been influenced by war ex-perience, and the latest Transport and Indiana models arefitted with wooden bumpers similar to that on the Class Bwar truck. Brackets and Fittings The brackets and fittings of truck frames are graduallygetting neater, and quite a technique is developing inmotor truck design. Some trucks are fitted with channelsteel bumpers whose ends are curved slightly backward,and in that case the spring horns are formed with pro-jections which accurately fit into the bumper brackets save on machining and are usedlargely for the forward ends of truck frames. An exampleof this is found on the new Selden model. A single castingserves as a spring bracket, bumper bracket and radiatorguard bracket. The Nash Quad, although not a new truck, arrests at-tention because of its many unusual features. Thus the m &. Clark overhead internal geai axle on Kelly-Springfield truck half elliptic springs are very light, giving a very flexiblesuspension for relatively smooth roads, but in addition tothese there are volute auxiliary springs, which share theload with the half-elliptics when unusually severe bumpsare sustained. There is considerable variety in the design of most common practice is to use two pressed steelhangers, and either a wooden or embossed metal step. Onthe Ward-La France truck, the step is made of pressedsteel and forms a part of the front fender. Some manu-facturers object to making the step a part of the frontfender, arguing that the continued use of the step willtend to cause the fender to get out of shape. On theTransport truck the fender consists of two cast hangersriveted to the frame and an easily renewable wooden for the step has the advantage that it does not getslippery with wear.
