Tho raw tire Is placed in q steel
mould. but before the mould is closed
the tire receives Its serial and con-
struction numbers. Tho numbers are
stamped on small pieces OF tin and
these tins are placed In the mould.
During the curing process the rubber
forces Itself into the depressions in
tho tins and when. after curing. the
tins arc removed tho numbers appear
impressed In the tire.
The moulds also contain the re-
cesses into which the excess rubber
on the sides and top forces itself and
these recesses give to the tire the diff
ferent kinds of treads, arrows. letters
and designs OF different kind and are
known as mon skids."

canizers. from the kind that you can

Tho Inoulds are forced together by
hydraulic pressure and after tho vul-
canizer is alled 1t is closed and live
steam admitted. The steam does not
reach the rubber ~ the moulds are
too tightly closed but the moist heat
soon penetrates the moulds and the
curing process begins.

prosecution made II a point to ascertain
how they stand as to the different or

The first step toward the manufac-
turing Of tire is the inspection OF the
raw material. rubber and cotton
fabric. Upon the grade OF the tire
this inspection depends: or rather one
might say the result depends for cer-
tain grades OF tires require certain
qualities OF material.
The rubber as II comes from the
forest Is In chunks about the size of
cocoanut and the first process is TO
chop these chunks into slithers by
running them through a machine that
bears faint resemblance 10 a rock

out all possible dirt. Then II Is run
through a drying machine where ev-
