PNEUMATIC TIRE DOOMED
Air Spring Likely to Save Big
Money for Automobilists

Pittsburg, July 5. 49, Announcement was
made here this afternoon that George
Westinghouse has perfected an air spring
device. which. it is declared. will do away
with the use Of pneumatic tires on auto
mobiles.
Mr. Westinghouse has been working on
this invention for several years. II is de-
clared that tests OF the spring. with cush-
ion tires. have been made under the most
severe conditions, and that these have
demonstrated that its general use will
work a revolution in the tire industry and
mean a saving OF millions Of dollars an
nually 20 automobile owners.
Coincident with the announcement that
the air spring had been perfected was one
70 the effect that M. Westinghouse mad
organized concern for the manufacture
Of the device.
The description OF the invention shows
that the main feature is a double cylinder
The upper cylinder is attached az the toy
10 the chassis frame and a lower one Is
attached az the bottom 70 the axle
one cylinder telescopes into the other
Inside these are other tubes permitting OF
piston action In oil and air.
When the car is running the pistons are
working constantly. The spring suspension
is accurately and automatically adjusted
70 suit the load For every inch Of tele-
scopic action the air is compressed DY a
greater percentage Of its original volume,
consequently the resistance increases more
rapidly.
