Substitutes For
Rubber Fail In
Tire Manufacture

The var has proven c~onclusively one
thing-that truck tires can be made Of
nothing but rubber, The b, f. Good
rich Rubber company points out that
incalCulable efforts have been made to
find a satisfactory and cheaper substi-
tute for rubber, but nothing approach
ing success has been accomplished.
Steel, wood fiber and cotton. each in
its turn, have been experimental with
but to no result.
Steel tires are durable enough, but
they fail in all three essentials. They
fail to give traction, they transmit
vibration to the truck mechanism and
they do not cushion the load. Even
with air used as a cushion beneath a
steel tire results were unsatisfactory.
This construction proved resilient at
slow speeds, but at high speeds the
inertia Of the rim prevented the tire
from acting quickly enough to absorb
the road shocks and it also failed to
give traction.
Wood blocks and wood fiber we're re-
tired after they failed to display re-
silence, much less the durability Of
steel, Cotton fabric, likewise, bowed to
rubber after a trial, The cotton fabric
vas highly compressed and applied. 1t
was fairly resilient, but lacked tractive
grip, n hence was useless on a
vehicle which propels itself by power
delivered at the rims of its wheels.
Rubber, consequently, continues i'm
