-Ihat feature of the times. the pneu-
matte tire. was first thought of way back
IN 1915, when an langishman named
thompson took out patents in England
ana America for an invention which was
practically the double-tIIbe tire of To-day
says the Chicago Record lie made exneri
ments in Regents park with a vehicle
Weighing over 1000 pounds, using first or
binary steel tires and afterward pneumatic
tires, and conclusively proved that with
the steel tires a force of forty-one mounds
was required to draw the vehicle over a
hard road, while "a force of a little more
than twenty-five pounds sufIiced when the
pneumatic tires were used. THOMPSON did
not properly develop his invention and
Ike so many of his kind, made no profit
from II. But I'm 1889 a Belfast merchant
whose small son happened to have a very
noisy bicycle, was struck with the idea of
putting air cushions about the wheels and
this interest in a small boys plaything
was the means of giving TO the world the
modern pneumatic tire. Before the Belfast
man rediscovered Thompson's tire solid
rubber tires were used on bicycles all
over the world So late as 1890 cyclists were
almost shocked at the idea of using any,
thing else, and a bicycle publication in
June of that year spoke of 'the first pneu-
matte tire In America" and said: This
tire presents queer or rather ridiculous
appearance. II Is white In color and entire
