188 MOTOR ROAD TRANSPORT
Tyre Life and Battery Renewal.
When the saving in wages, due to the faet that the
one truck replaces five or six handbarrows, is taken
into account, it will be seen that a very appreciable
reduction in transport charges can be made in trades
where the nature of the goods and the conditions of
service allow the use of such a vehicle.
It is, moreover, only fair to the makers of these
machines to point out that the figures, in order that
they may prove the more reliable guide to the un-
initiated, are founded upon a decidedly conservative
basis.
Tyre life, for instan.ee, is taken at 4,000 miles,
which should be on the safe side, while battery renewal
is reckoned for at the end of two years, though
accumulators often last considerably longer.
