Careless Application
OF The Tube

Since the almost universal use OF
the one-piece transversely split tire
rims, as used on most of the modern
cars, the repair men in general have
often commented upon the large
number of tubes that were being pre-
scented to them for repairs because
of a small hole within the radius OF
an incn or two of the valve stems.
An official of a prominent tire
company says it is quite common
practice for a motorist, in applying
a tube and casing to the rim, to push
the tube valve-stems through the
hole in the rim and then pull the
stem through as far as possible. The
beads Of the casing are then proper
ly seated on the rim and it is locked
and the air pressure put in the tube
for initiating.
By pulling the valve stem all the
way thru in the manner above men
toned, the valve spreader on the
tube is tilted up on the casing bead
in such a manner that that portion
of the tube is pinched between the
spreader and the bead and as soon
as air is applied the tube under pres
sure endeavorS to loosen itself from
the pinch between the spreader and
beads. The result is a small hole in
the tube.
Often the valve stem does not
point straight and the motorist in
endeay oring to straighten it, pinches
the tube as mentioned above.
