81 expect to see another effort made
to reach some sort of an agreement
in the selling of bicycle tires for next
years business" said a rubber man
last night. "The margin has been re-
duced to almost nothing by undersell-
ing, and with the price of rubber going
UP, something must be done If there
is to be any money in the business.
A sort of 'Gentlemen's agreement ex-
listed once upon time, but it has been
ignored, and each company has blam-
ed the others for cutting prices"
The fabric" which enters into the
framework Of bicycle tires, and the
nature Of the threads that go to make
it up, has been the most perplexlng
things the manufacturers of pneumat.
ic tires have had to contend with.
Tires are known, largely by the ma,
ture Of, the. fabric that enters into
their makeup. The springiness and re
silence of pneumatic tires has always
been an important consideration in
their manufacture and much time ant
money has been expended to make the
fabric as cheaply and as well as pos
sible.
Everything from seagrass to cottor
has been tried, and results have
shown that the material must be ex
pensive to give results.
The rubber factories receive it il
great rolls, the width adjusted to th'
size of the tire and the length to tn
mills capacity. 'Stock cutters" ar
employed to cut the fabric according
to the size and quality of the tire de
sired, and they become very profcien
at their work. :"
Large sums are expended each yea
on experiments with tire fabric by tn
local rubber companies.
