Rear shock absorbers were mounted at an angle to provide a level floor. New seats for greater comfort have been installed. The gear shift lever, for greater convenience, was placed on the steering column. This improvement will save wearing effort on the part of men and women of all ages who will drive the new jeep. Additional features have been m m 18-in- ch panel, the governor permits regulated engine speeds from 1,000 to 2,600 rpm in steps of 200 rpm. Traction. By no means new, but increasingly effective for postwar use, is the drive, never before available to civilians in a vehicle of the jeep's size and weight. This feature, which helped build a world-wid- e reputation for the military jeep, promises to play an equally important part in hundreds of peacetime assignments. By spreading the jeep's drive over four wheels, tremendous tractive power is achieved and the vehicle becomes a glutton for tough terrain. It is particularly effective on uneven or loose soil, where vehicles driven from only one axle frequently push their front wheels into the ground and stall. On the jeep, the front wheels do not push, they pull. There has been much discussion about the jeep's gas consumption record. Extensive field tests have proven the postwar vehicle's economy compared with other forms of tractive power. On the highway, it will deliver up to 19 miles per gallon. It is also economical in belt pulley operations. It is well to remember that gasoline consumption is a matter of how efficient the engine is, how heavy the load may be, the quality of gasoline used, whether time saved is more to be valued than gasoline consumed and whether the vehicle which is being tested is moving over roads, through mud or sand or loamy soil. The jeep, of course, is built for use. It is a relatively light vehicle with an even distribution of weight and a center of gravity which prevents overturning. Unlike other vehicles for general use, it pushes no great load in front. The weight it hauls is attached and is pulled in most instances. In connection' with gasoline consumption, it is well to discuss draw bar pull briefly, for draw bar pull has to do with the load, and that is one of the determining factors in gasoline consumption. Another name for draw bar pull is traction. It expresses the amount of work a vehicle will do. 'The jeep will pull a trailed load of 5,500 pounds over the highway, with adequate reserve power for steep grades. In the field where continuous pulling is required for long periods of time the jeep has a rated draw bar pull of 1,200 pounds, which has been shown by numerous tests to be adequate for most agricultural work and to provide ample reserve as well for unusual conditions. The jeep can compete on a basis of economy and performance with Four-Whe- four-whe- el el hard-surfac-ed i ruwer irom me convenienuy ? oi ine new jeep can such as buzz saws, feed grinders, and hay balers. added to the new jeep, either as standard equipment or as accessories. Among these are seven-inc- h headlights which meet aU legal requirements, a tail gate which enables it to function effectively as a pick-u- p truck, an automatic windshield wiper, a large tool box, and front and rear tops. Owners of the vehicle will be able to purchase a list of special accessories which widen the range of the jeep's usefulness, including snow plow and grader attachments, spray painting equipment, and others.

At any rate, with his characteristic thoroughness, he already has a committee of agricultural experts at work studying basic agricultural problems with the idea of bringing forth a set of recommendations for the postwar period.
