If a shell, whistling through the air At a speed of some thousand feet a second, is suddenly stopped; some disposition must be made of Its energy. Exactly the same assertion applies to the moving automobile. Wlhat the striking) or colliding energy of an automobile means has been made the subject of an Interesting Inquiry by "Dr. William F.

of Leiand Stanford University. The energy of a two thousand two hundred pound automobile at 60 miles an- hour, suddenly 'stopped, would serve to rupture some' thirty bars of steel, one inch square and a foot long. The same is enough to shear five hundred three-quarter-inch steel bolts, or two hundred and sixty one-inch steel rivets. A comparison with the projectile of a modern rifle proves even more tellingly the collision possibilities of a high-powered car.
