The show is an amplifed version of
the one which broke all records IN pat

The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-08-08

Birmingham is full of inventors, and many practical things have been perfect ed by them. These inventions are helping in a great measure to build up small industries here, while as a rule their eX- eellence and popularity have materially built up the business of certain local shopsN
 These inventions have covered almost every conceivable line of modern indus try Many of them have been splendid articles and proved to be just what was needed, so that an instant, immense de- mand has been created for them all over the entire country To Birmingham's discredit be it said that some of these inventors have been forced to turn to other places to have their invention man ufactured on account of there being no shop here doing that particular class of work.
 One late invention conceived and pat ented by a local man bids fair to build up the business of some shops here. and in all probability finally result in the es- tablishment of a large plant for the sole manufacture of this particular article.
 This is the Denegre one-bolt demount- able automobile wheel rim, invented and patented by Charles Denegre, who op- crates the Southern garage. MT. Den egre has but recently conceived this idea and recent tests have shown it to be very practical and a thing for which automobiists have long yearned.
 There have been demountable rims manufactured for some time, but draw

BY JAMES 3. KEELING.

back to their use has been in the fact that they required anywhere from five to a dozen bolts. The Denegre rim, how ever, uses but one bolt making it pos sible to make complete change of rims within five minutes
 The demountable rim was designed for the saving of time in case of puncture Instead of being forced to work an hour or two slipping in a new inner tube the idea Is that the rim and tire be re- moved and another rim and tire substi- tuted. With the large number of bolts required in the demountable rims using five or more, the time consumed amount ed 10 practically as much as the time re- quired to repair the puneture. All that is necessary in this one is to unscrew one bolt, slip the rim off and then slip an- other rim with tire already upon 1t in it's place.
 Other demountable rims have used as many a s seven Jugs on their lightest rims while the Denegre uses only five. For the very heaviest rear wheels, however many as nine can be used. The rim cannot slip out on account of the exten- sion on the Jugs. The number of Jugs makes no difference in the time required to make a change in rims as the rims slip easily into place. Only drop forgings are used, the Swedish bolts furnished being of such toughness that they will bend half an inch before they will break. These are manufactured in Birmingham. At present it is necessary to import the steel rims from Pennsylvania, but it Is hoped in time to be able to manufacture them here.
 Experiments have been made on locai cars with marked success and the rims are already on the market. It will be several weeks, however, before the ar
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-08-08

engagements are completed for a full sale all over the country.
 Another local invention is the Bullard car door. A great amount of capital stock has already been subscribed and the men behind the matter announce that they will soon begin work on the put ting up of a plant to manufacture this door.
 Plans for the establishment of two or three more small industries in Birming- ham are known to be well under way and final arrangements in the matter are eX- pected to be complete within few weeks. It is understood that one small plant ex- poets to begin operations this week.
 Full announcement regarding this par ticular plant will be made next week. Its conception grew out of the recently in augurated campaign for the securing or new industries in Birmingham and Inc popularity of the movement demanding Made In Birmingham" products. The Chamber of Commerce started this move ment some time ago and out of 1t grew the demand for more small industries, it being discovered that great variety of things were in demand here which were being shipped in from other places
 Joseph B. Babb, secretary of the Cham- Der of Commerce. has been diligent in this movement and any persons contemplating the establishment of a plant here to manu- fracture some certain article or who desires to put up plant but is a little uncer- tain as to the product he wishes to turn out, can be given valuable information by MT. Babb.
 Business in Birmingham is picking up at a lively rate to take the word of many conservative business men in varied lines of business, and the man with small amount of money or hustle can fine golden opportunity in the Magic City.
