Paper Car Wheels.

In making paper car wheels 100 TO
$50 layers are put together with -four
paste and subjected to pressure OF
500 tons while zt a temperature OF 100
degrees Fahrenheit. The blocks are
then turned in a lathe. slightly larger
than the tire. and the hole is bored for
the eastiron center. In turning, the
paper blocks make a shaving that re
semble strips OF leather. The average
life Of the tire OF a paper wheel is
about see. 900 miles. That represents
about one and one-quarter inch wear.
The centers do not seem to be affect
ed by service. and they are always
good for renewal of tires unless some
accident happens to them.
