A feature of the universal joints is that theyare automatically lubricated, one from the gearset andthe other from the rear axle casing. The back axle is of the semi-floating type with self-. aligning ball bearings on the ends of the tapered ex-tensions of the axle center. The rear semi-ellipticsprings take torque and drive and are arranged imme-diately under the side frame members. Internal ex-panding brakes are used on the rear wheels, which arewire spoked. 204 AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRIESTHE AUTOMOBILE February 8, 1921 Three Point Chassis Mounting Featureof New Speed Truck Transverse front spring with pivot joint connection to frame renderstruck especially suitable for farm use or on rough roads.
