Aside from diminutive segtione of road built on this prinoiple by two private individuale merely toillustratepossible modes of Construction,, the first of these expert. meats oonaieled in the oonstruotion, is 1897, near Cleveland, by the State High. way Commissioner of Ohio, of a single piece of molt road 500 feet long. In 1898 the Oftioe of Road Inquiry, io the Depart. Mout of Agriculture, built au exited. mental sootion of snob road at the Tram*. Mississippi Exposition at Omaha, and soon afterwards, E. G. Bardeen, road ex- pert of that Moe, laid two similar sec: tions, 150 and 180 feet long, reepeobively, at the agrioultural experiment stations at St. Anthony's Park, Minn., and at Amos, Ia. Tho oonstruotion involved in each ease two parallel lines of steel plates, eight limber: wide, opaoed for the wheels of standard guage vehicles. Each line of plates has half inch flanges rising at its outer edges to confine the wheels, and deep flangoe projecting on either side, three or four inches downward, and then equally as far outward. These latter, being imbedded in the eubstruoture, gave the plates rigidity. This substructure is concrete resting on crushed atone, and the space between the plates is macadam- ized. The plates are also kept horizon• ta] and equi distant by steel flee. Some of the traction tests made on these roads were quite interesting. For example, in one of these a load of eleven tons, re• quiring twenty horses to draw it over an ordinary village road, was drawn over this road by a single horse. The availi- bility of such tracks for bicycles or automobiles is also evident. The three principle advantages claim- ed for such a road are cheapness, durabil• ity and reduced draft power. It is esti mated that after the method of construe. tion had become established, such a road would not cost on the average over $3,000 per mile, and that it would, without the need of important repairs, sustain a de• gree of wear and tear quite out of propor- tion to that sustained by ordinary macadam roads. The third and greatest advantage urged in its behalf is, however, that it would reduce the amount of draft power requisite for a given load to a mere fraction of what is now necessary, and would at the same time facilitate a great increment in speed. It is also pointed out that the existence of such smooth and permanent roads would accelerate the lessening of the needless heights of wheels and overweight of framework, which DOW characterize nearly all vehicles ex- cept tbe bicycle, would forward the use of mechanical propulsion, and would thus promote revolutionary changes in rural transportation. A peculiar interest at. taches to these experiments, which rests principally upon the important and un- questioned economy of a steel track, as compared with any other surface for the traction of vehicles, and they awaken significant expectations for theprophesied age of steel roads as against that of dirt or even atone roads in the country.
