Firestone, Chairman of the Board of The Firestone Tire and Rubber Company, this achievement has been very gratifying. For a year or more Firestone engineers worked to perfect the pneumatic tires used on this remarkable trip. Florida was chosen for the run because under the blazing sun of the Everglades the tires would he put to an extremely severe test. The route was from Miami to Jacksonville. Commenting on the accomplishment, Mr. Firestone said that hundreds of miles of railroad tracks unused today will he put into service again through the development of this new type of transportation. He believes that the pneumatic tired wheel will not only he a great boon to the railroad industry in reviving the operation of these unused lines, but that it will bring new speed and comfort in rail travel. With Clifford D. Smith, Firestone engineer in charge of tire development. at the throttle, the car semi-tropic- 47 minutes, for an 70 2 miles an hour. average speed of There were three passengers accompanying Mr. Smith on the fast and thrilling journey. They were Larrv Stmts, newspaper observer, M. H. Gold, Seaboard Air Line trainmaster, and M. L. McClung, Soon after Seaboard conductor. the car had left Miami, the news spread rapidly along the route that an automobile riding on railroad tracks was tearing northward at a terrific clip. This caused crowds to gather at the stations in various towns and hamlets, and as the car shot past them they hailed it with cheers and waving of arms. At timer the car, running so quietly that it did not disturb the peace and tranquillity of the country side, bore down upon flocks of buzzards, herons, ducks and cranes before the birds were aware of it. They barely had time to get out of the way. One hdzzard, in fact, was not quick enough in eluding the new meteor of transportation and was hit by the log books with perfect ease while gliding along at 75 and 80 miles an hour. Imagine trying that in an automobile making 30 miles an hour on a highway, or a train rocking along at 60. It was almost as fast as airplane travel, but infinitely We more quiet and comfortable. were able to talk in ordinary conversational tones. At the end of the ride, all four of us were fresh and rested. It was no more tiring than a ride out to the suburbs. When the car pulled into Jacksonville after a run of 405.7 miles, Mr. Smith made a close inspection of the tires. They showed no perceptible wear and less heating than would have been evident in driving the same car over the highway. In this connection, Mr. Smith made the fol' lowing statement: The tires behaved perfectly throughout the trip, running without heating at a maximum speed of 87.3 miles, which we maintained for several minutes between Baldwin and Jacksonville.
