All wheels of thistype made by the Clarkcompany are cast withbosses on both sides of theweb, through which holesare drilled. This permitsof the application of anytype of hook the manufac-turer may desire.

Methods of attaching anti-skid chains to cast steel disk wheels The Engineering Sub-committee of the EmpireMotor Fuels Committee,under the chairmanship ofDr. W. R.
