Previous efforts to obtain comfortable riding-qualities for passenger-carrying automobiles are mentioned, and a device that combines a recording seismograph and a spring-action recorder is illustrated and described, since such a device is essential in conducting investigations of this character.Methods governing the use of the device when studying spring action and chassis vibration are outlined, and the results obtained are presented graphically and discussed. Several unique features characterize these tests and are worthy of consideration, not only because of the results obtained thereby but as being good illustrations of what can be accomplished by substituting unusual and perhaps spectacular methods in special instances for ordinary practice that has failed to produce some desired result.
