to redeem it after another period of six
months the pledges are sold, but if they

Why Rubber Tires Grow Hot

When an automobile is running at
high speed the rubber tires are rap
idly warmed, and the heat sometimes
becomes very great, with resultant in
jury to the rubber. The cause of this
accumulation Of heat in the tire is
ascribed to the kneading of the rubber,
which generates heat faster than it can
be radiated away. For this reason
manufacturers have found it to be an
advantage to have metal parts in the
tread. such as the ends of rivets, in
contact with the tire, because the metal
being good radiator helps to carry
off the heat to the outer air.
