Wobbly Wheels For Tractors It seems Man did the rong fining when .. he invented the wheel all those aeons ago. If only he had put an elliptical tree trunk under.that heavy load to roll it --instead of a round one, modern research has shown he ...would have done a lot better. For, as Richard Oliver pointed out in a BBC broadcast, wheels can sometimes be more effective if the`, are not round. In In mud, the rotund wheel just digs itself in by pushing theinud back instead of rolling itself forward. But now imagine an elliptical wheel. This, too, .will dig in but _having done this, it ,will also'push back' against the' mud wall it has built itself. Thus an elliptical wheel can get out of mud which defeats round ones. But -won't . odd -shaped wheels make the vehicle jump along like a kangaroo? The trouble is, that the distance from'the ground [b , the „axle varies as an el iptieat, wheel'' turns But; you ca n get over 'this easily__.:..Lf you fix the wheels to the a ' so that the . shaft is ,high on one side when it is low on the other, 'then .the axle just see -saws instead of the kangaroo, ;motion. The centre point or .the ;axle stays at the same distance from the ground all the time — and it is here you fix the suspension. Fine! But where can ybu get elliptical „,,.,, ,1 wels? , Difficult, but. you can get much -the same effect by using • round ones, mounted off-centre. commercially and for leisure enjoyment, has' been born. Aft of , the West Annex . Building, 20,000 square feet, will d'►9nlay most of the now over half ,4 hundred - lines of .these 'new. machines. Also clothing and -acnessbries -`"that ' increase the. enjoyment of this relatively new winter activity will be modelled.. • + Your local Fainm Equipment Dealerwill be pleased- to give you free admission cards. Only adults '' require these.. . The This .fascinating idea is now, being put into production in Britain as a 150 pound conversion kit for the'Fbrd 4.00 tractor. The conversion kit — a pair of, spacial eccentric hub mounts for the wheels allows you' to change between eccentric and normal running at the touch, of a couple. of levers. ',You use normal drive till you bog down, then change to eccentric running. This gives about double the normal tractive effort to get you unstuck — and you then change back to normal.. At a recent' demonstration by the makers, Elliptical Drirn `ltd.; a modified. tractor'with off-centre wheels kept going through thick mud, while • a tractor with - normal wheels just dug a grave for itself.
