In order to reduce the noise of street
cars, and particularly the flat wheel
nuisance. it was suggested at IL recent
meeting of the Tramways association,
In Newcastle, England. that street cars
be provided with tires OF rubber. 1t
was argued that the wear on the rails
would be much reduced. ana the life
of the rubber tire would exceed that on
motor trucks and buses. which are
credited with an average life of 10000
miles. 1t was also argued that a higher
rate of speed would be possible With
the flexible tire.
