RUBBER TIRES
ON FIRE ENGINES

NEW YORK. July ii.-Fire En-
gine Company No. 80. today made
It's FIRST run since the four-inch rub
Der tires were placed on the engine
wheels. They are said to be the lar
gest ruber tires in tho world, and
they proved n great success.
when the engine was going at top
speed there was so little vibration
that the firemen were astonished
The crucial test was TO be the sud
den turning into a street with car
tracks. With steel tires the wheels
frequently catch the tracks. and ex-
treme care had to be exercised 20
prevent the top heavy engine from
careening. The tracks were struck
in Second avenue. which Is asphalt
ed.
The rubber tires slid over them
with little more vibration than on the
regular roadway. and without sla ok
ening speed. the horses sped on fast
er than ever they had drawn an en-
gine before. They made record time
TO the IRE. The engines rapidly on
asphalt Ia remarkable. due to the
fact that the rubber takes n tighter
hold on the steel.
