GERMAN SUBSTITUTES
FOR RIRRER TIRES

Rubber being scarce in Germany
nowadays, a number of bicycle tires
made of substitutes for rubber are
reported to have appeared on tA
German market, says the Popular
Mechanics Magazine. First came a
tire made of steel wire about 3-16 in.
thick, closely coiled, with ends weld
ed together. This was high priced,
damaged pavements and ratified in
use. Then came three different types
of wooden tires, the cheapest being
made of a single piece of wood, while
others are made of wooden sections.
Another type of wood tire has the
outer surface covered with leather
strip. Steel springs are used with all
the wooden tires, either in forks or
between tire and rim, which adds
considerably to their cost. Tires COW
cred with leather or with canvas, in
stead o. rubber. are also on the mar
ket, But the best substitute for the
rubber tire has an outer tube of pre-
pared canvas, and cloth-wound in
ner tube filled with a solid prepara-
tion resembling rubber, that is. said
to be quite elastic.
