Pneumatic rubber tires were applied
to wheels by r. w. Thompson, an En-
glish civil engineer. in 1886, with good
results, but the device lapsed. Now, in
Paris. such tires are in common use on
cab wheels. The economy Of their use
Is about SO per cent on good roads and
6S per cent on newly broken stone. The
result Is much the same whether the
road be muddy or covered with snow.
The solid rubber tire is better than the
iron tire, but the inflated tire Is best.
