New Wood Floor for Steel Trucks

WashingtonA special hardn'ood floor overlay, designed "at the request of the Government to restore smoothness to Steel cargo truck body floors, has been developed under the nation's hardrvood research program at the laboratory of Timber Engineering Company, research affiliate of National Lumber Manfacturers Association.

The new floor, installed in a 2/2-ton Army truck, has started its longtime, rigorous loading tests at the Army's Aberdeen, Maryland, Proving Ground.

Made of red oak lumber, edge-glued with waterproof marine adhesive, the hardrvood floor is treated preservatively and for dimensional stabilization. It was developed as a solution to the military's problems presented by steel floors becoming dented into a "washboard" surface that makes cargo loading and handling difficult.

F'OR SALE

Wholesale lumber yard and mill, fully equipped, doing custom mif, work for over 50 retail lumber yards in the San Gabriel Valley.

Address Box C-2177, California Lumber Merchant l0B West 6th Street, Room 508, Los Angeles 14, Calif.

The hardwood flbor is designed for installation over the steel floors in the Army's present trucks. It not only restores a level surface to the truck body's fioor, but provides a more comfortable floor for personnel using it in any climatic extremes.

Successful performance of the wood floor throughout the Aberdeen tests is expected to result in its widespread installation in military and commercial vehicles.

This is the lumber industry's second research product offered to the military, within the past year, in the interest of national preparedness and conservation of resources.

First was the all-wood Army tru'ck body presented last March. Three prototypes of this innovation in vehicle construction are nearing completion of their long--duration road tests, at Aberdeen, with commendable performance records.
