Results of studies based on experiments carried out with oscillographic recorder in tonneau of car which gives record of variation in distance between rear axle and body while going over "washboards" and various other obstructions; tests show that rear axle frequently vibrates through vertical amplitudes many times greater than depth of corrugations; laboratory model of rear end of automobile was built; curves taken show relationship in time between rear axle and road surface and that at certain speeds greatest pressure of tire on road comes in trough of corrugation.
