And that is exactly the reason for Dominion
Tire Depots — not just to repair your tires when
trouble occurs, but to inspect them regularly —
to remove every cause of trouble and to correct
every injury at its beginning.

rJ1he recent installation of Mack Tractors and'
Lapeer Trailers by the Dominion Transport Com
pany Limited, for the transfer of l.c.l. freight be
tween the Canadian Pacific Place Viger freight sheds
find their outlying terminals in this city, was de-
tfnonstrated before E. W. Beatty, Chairman and. Presi
dent, and other executives of the railway outside the
Windsor Street Station.
Mr. Beatty was specially interested in the me
chanism by which the trailer is connected up witk
'the tractor. This is done by the simple Operation
•of backing, the tractor slowly Into the trailer. Un
coupling is actuated from the tractor by the simple
moving of a lever. The President had these Opera
tions performed several times and expressed his ap
preciation of their simplicity.
Coupling and uncoupling of the trailer is operated
flby means of a mechanism known as a fifth wheel
’■Which is bolted to the tractor frame and upon which
the front end of the trailer rides, interlocks itself
. mechanically with the trailer’ through the use of rail
toad type double locking jaw couplers. . Brakes of
;Uoth the tractor and trailer ate applied irdividually
i'and separately by th$ driver and are at all. times
^minder his control. Were it possible for a trailer to
(become disconnected from a 'tractor at any time when
•tin motion, the brakes of the former arc automatically
I applied bringing it almost immediately to a stop.
! Through the Use of a “Dolly” which consists of a
I fifth wheel mounted on a pair of road wheels, two
[-or more attendant trailers may be attached to one
tractor thereby forming a tractor train and by so
[doing much increasing the total load capacity* With
.'the addition of the extra trailer wheels the total
j weight of the vehicle and load, is divided over a
[•greater road surface tire area, thus overcoming , the
deteriorating effect of heavily loaded trucks on the
•(highways and city streets.
J The capacity of the trailers '•used is 10,000 to
i'15,000 pounds with ah inside dimension of approxi-
jimately 16 feet long, 6*4 feet Wide arid 7 feet high.
rThe tractor is of the internationally known “Bull
|DogP type and Its draw-bar pull is far in excess of
[anything that wall be required Of but was deemed
Advisable to use in view of the heavy road conditions
prevailing in Montreal during the winter months.
I While the tractor is of standard Mack design,
»nly the chassis Is so in the ease of the trailer, the
Jwdy being bi$t ahd finished In the Transport com-
pany’s plant in Montreal. The body is of oak
throughout with a sheet metal covering and the whole
equipment is highly finished in dark blue with red
wheels and undergear, the standard colors of the
company, making a very handsome appearance. The
centre side panels or sliding doors of the trailer as
well as the tear doors and front panel are decorated
with the Maple Leaf and Beaver, insignia of the
Canadian Pacific Railway. The doors of the tractor
bear the same crest. The Dominion Transport Com
pany have at preseht nine “trailers in operation and
will increase this number to twelve in the next few
weeks. Similar automotive equipment has been
ordered for use in Toronto by the company.
Mack Tractors and Lapeer trailers represent the
latest and most efficient method of handling freight.
It consists of spotting one or more trailers at strate
gic points where freight is to be picked up* When
the trailer Is loaded the tractor calls for each in
turn, taking them to their respective destinations
under what is known as the Shuttle System. By
this method no time is lost by full trailers waiting
to be moved, as they are operated on an hourly
schedule between each of the outlying, freight de
pots and the central station, thereby giving the mer
chants and manufacturers of these outlyiiig districts
the same despatch with their freight as those who
are move centrally located*
