Suitcase Holder for Running Board of Automobile

Two metal strips, ³⁄₁₆ by 1¹⁄₂ by 20 in., were used to make a strong and adjustable holder for suitcases carried on the running board of an automobile. One-inch slots were cut near the top of the strips, which were bent to form angles having an upright portion 12 in. long. The angles are adjusted at the bolts, as shown, and the suitcase is held in place by straps.—Lucien G. Baer, Los Angeles, Calif.
