HANDLING STEERING WHEEL. BP A AA rian How do you hold your steering wheel? Is your "stance" patterned after that of any of the speed kings of the motor world, or do you just grab hold? The control a race driver has over his car often means the difference between life and death, Have you ever given this matter'a thought? Most of the drivers prefer the average sized wheel, but Dario Resta's car, with which he took so many of America's races In 1915- 1916 and won the championship, was equipped with a large wheel. Some of them hold the wheel with apparently a loose grasp, while oth- ers tightly clench the felloe. The majority grasp the wheel with their hands opposite almost Tn the centre. Several hold the wheel by. the lower segment and some codtrol their cars by gripping the upper half. Eddie Rickenbacher has one of the most peculiar grips, taking hold of the wheel with a firm grasp of the upper half and "extending his elbows to give more purchase on the rim. lLouls Chevrolet, Ray Har- roun, Ralph De Palma and Joe Daw- son take hold of the wheel with ap- parently an easy grip and control the car by using the lower segment, Earl Cooper, Jan Chassagne, Ar- thur Duray and Joe Chtristiens place their hands almost opposite on the wheel, but with one hand below and the other above a 'centre line through the wheel. Barney Disbrow, Gil Anderson and John Aitken em- ploy a grip that places the hands on a centre line through the wheels, BI A Gees Beret § [ NEWEST NOTES | | OF SCIENCE ed eB Br BA btt 80 that a watch will be as acces- sible as §#f worn on a 'wrist an fnven- tor har patented a pouch to be sus- pended from a halt.
