A
NEW AUTO HERE
TRAIL
When Mother Nature first designed
the caterpillar, her ultimate purimse
was the gorgeous butterfly. From the
slow moving creature was to come the
swiftly flying Insect; celerity from
sluggishness.
M. U Adams, of Fairbanks, has just
reversed Mother Nature. From a high
powered, high spirited automobile he
has created a caterpillar.
All of which is by way of Introduc
ing the latest mode of Alaskan trans
portation, styled by Adams the “Alas
ka Tank."
Stage driving in Alaska, specially
from Chitina to Fairbanks, over a dis
tance of 320 miles, is different from
stage driving in any other part of the
world. Snow, mud, gumbo, ice hills
and poor roads are only incidental
features of the long run, and the use
of an automobile has only been at
tempted because of the necessity of
making time.
When Adams first studied the situ
atlon carefully he determined that
the "tank" which the entente allies
were using on the Kuropcan front,
clambering in and out of trenches
over barriers and across broken stret
ehes of country, was the only practi
cal solution for the ('hitina-Fairbaiik?
route.
To obtain one of the tanks, how
ever, was practically impossible, and
for a time Adams was blocked. The
old proverb about Mahomet and the
mountain gave him an idea, and In
determined that If he could not buy
a tank to make one of his own.
The final device which he lias set
tied upon includes the use of a Twit
Six Packard 3-48 model for the driv
ing power. Six wheels roll under iht
capetpillar. four on the rear and tin
usual two In rront. The four real
wheels are divided, two on each side
being attached to the rear axle. Th<
body of the car is lengthened to ac
commodate the wheels.
The tread, which connects the real
wheels on either side, embodies the
idea of the “feet" which give the cat
erpillar such possibilities in climbing
over obstructions. The two wheels
are revolved by gears fastened on the
rear axles, and while speed is sacri
ficed to a certain extent the power
and flexibility are present, with the
ability to mount over seemingly un
surtnotintable obstacles.
When he had completed his plans
to his own satisfaction, Adams came
to Seattle to give them a practical
test. Through the Karnes & Fisher
Manufacturing Company of that city
the • tank" was built and tried out
last week on the Seattle streets. So
satisfactory did the tryout prove that
Adams and the caterpillar arrived In
Cordova yesterday on the Admiral
Evans, and the first Alaskan "tank "
will at once be placed In commission
on the government trail between
hCitina and Fairbanks.
