THE
WONDERFUL RECORD
Made by the Ford Model T in winning the World-Herald's Endurance Run against a field of the highest priced

Nothing happens in the mechanical world haphazard or because of luck. When a piece of
machinery stands up and goes through work that another by its side cannot, there must necessa
rily be a reason for the performance- It was so in the World-Herald Endurance Run last week.
The Ford Model T did not withstand the long grind because of any peculiar dispensation of Prov
idence but because its light weight and sturdy construction made its wonderful performance pos
sible. We can better show you the individual reasons for its successful run by taking them up
one at a time, which we have done below:
1. Nothing will so quickly affect the delicate adjustments of an automobile engine or
loosen up fenders, spring clips, etc. as the constant running over ruts in the road at a rapid rate.
Heavy cars are unable to stop as easy as lighter ones, because of the increased momentum caused
by their weight. The Ford No. 5 stopped easily and quickly when it approached a rut; ran over
the bad place easily, and quickly picked up its speed and was off in the lead again in a moments
time. The heavier cars, because of their weight, were unable to stop quickly before an approach
ing rut. hit it with a jar and a bump, and the damaged tires, Iocse fenders and creaking joints told
the story at the evenings controL
2. Between Grand Island and North Platte the road contains so many sharp corners that it
seems like turning at every section line. Here Ford light weight again demonstrated its superi
ority over the heavier built cars. In going around a sharp turn the heavy weight of the car nat
urally swings outward the heavier the car the more strain on the wheels, springs and rods. In
this part of the trip one of the common causes for penalties was strained wheels and axles. The
heaviest cars suffered the most The Ford lost not a single point. Again we point to the superi
ority of Ford light weight. One other significant fact to be noted isthe tire trouble experienced
by the several cars. Heat and sand will do as muck as natural wear to cause blowouts and gen
eral deteriorizatian af tires Especially was this noted during the last stage of the trip when
the road lay through deep burning sand and the sun was so hot that it was almost unbearable for
the drivers Tire after tire blew out during the afternoon and it seemed like there was no time
when there was not some machine out of the running because of tire trouble. It will be noted
from records of the run that the heavier cars had much more trouble in this respect than the
lighter ones. The heavy weight on the tire coupled with the weak condition of the rubber caused
by the hot sand, seemed to be more than an ordinary tire could stand. One of the heavier cars
had seven blowouts during the afternoon Other cars had like trouble in almost the same propor
tion as their weight. THE FORD DID NOT HAVE A SINGLE BLOWOUT OR PUNCTURE
DURING THE ENTIRE TRIP, yet it went over the same roads in the same time as the other
cars. We point to this as another proof of the superiority of Ford light weight.
4. The Ford was declared the winner of the race and it was the smallest and lightest car
entered. The technical committee after a critical examination found but fourteen points against
it, as compared with some of the heavier cars. In justice to the car we want to tell you what these
points were. At Lexington the Ford was standing still in the road when a large, heavy car skid
ded and came crashing into it in the rear. The impact threw the Ford into the rear on another
car with such force that the forward car was pushed five feet The collision broke one lamp,
loosened front wheel and damaged the fenders, for which the Ford was penalized fourteen points.
The Ford lost not one point in the entire race, making a perfect score as far as road work was
concerned. The enly thing that the technical committee could find worthy of penilization was
the damage done to the Ford when run into by a larger and heavier car.
