Page 164 - Camp machine (fig. 30) the distributer proper is mounted on separate wheels and coupled to the rear of the tank wagon, the slip tongue being removed. The oil runs from the tank through a flexible hose. It has an oil reservoir and three sets of fingers. The first set makes furrows just ahead of the oil-discharging pipes. The second set of fingers (or curved teeth) covers up the oil, and the third set stirs up the combination of oil and dirt. There is also a drag to crush any globules or chunks which...
Page 154 - Automobile Association of America is completed, it is fair to comment on it. To our mind the whole thing has been an almost entirely unmitigated nuisance.

Page 431 - Persons making use of horses, as the means of travel or traffic by the highways, have no rights therein superior to those who make use of the ways in other modes. It is true that locomotion upon the public roads has hitherto been chiefly by means of horses and similar animals, but persons using them have no prescriptive rights, and are entitled only to the same reasonable use of the ways which they must accord to all others.

It is true that locomotion upon the public roads has hitherto been chiefly by means of horses and similar animals, but persons using them have no prescriptive rights, and are entitled only to the same reasonable use of the ways which they must accord to all others. Improved methods of locomotion are perfectly admissible if any shall be discovered, and they cannot be excluded from the existing public roads provided their use is consistent with the present methods.
Page 154 - Union, one of the influential papers of the state, regarded their visit as an "unmitigated nuisance" and an "outrage that ought to be stopped once and for all ... If these people think of coming here another year we hope the law against speeding and scorching will be promptly and vigorously enforced. Let a few of them stay in jail two or three days and they and all the rest of us will be the better for it.
Page 154 - There seems no reason at all why the people of the community should be subjected to such things. Automobiles are good things and some of the people who own them or drive them are fit to be trusted with them; but, to tell the thing exactly as it is, most of them are not. They seem to think they have the right to use the road to the exclusion or discomfort of other people, to say the least. A few entirely disregard the danger they cause to the lives and property of the people who live here and built...

Let a few of them stay in jail for two or three days and all the rest of us will be the better for it.
