—W——i 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.
