that the lubricant that was not con

cant that is only partially consumed
leaves a carbon deposit, while the lu-

SOME HISTORY OF
PNEUMATIC TIRES

One OF the spectators at the first
pneumatic tired bicycle race was w.
B. Harding. head OF the indianapolis
plant Of the United States Time Cong
pany.
The race took place at track meet
in Ireland in the late summer Of 1889.
Bicycle racing was popular in Great
Britain at the time and at this particu-
lar meet the best wheelmen Of the
prominent clubs participated.
Much Interest and surprise We're
evidenced" says Mr. Harding, in a lit
tie booklet giving the history OF the
pneumatic tire, when, for one of the
events Of the day, Mr.. DuCross and
his two sons appeared on the track
with bicycles equipped with what
sr.meu to everybody thai the time 10 be
balloon tires, and a good deal Of
comment OF q rfther sarcastic nature
was ~nade regarding them.
THE tires justified their lnlroduc-
ton right from the start, however, as
the DuCross placed first. second and
third in every race In which they took
part, They followed up their success
on this track by further astonishing
demonstrations in different parts Of the
country, so quickly convincing the rid
ing public Of Great Britain OF the mer-
its OF the pneumatic tire that before
the end Of 1890 every bicycle made was
equipped with them.
Although Robert W. Thompson was
the first inventor of the pneumatic tire,
so little use was made Of the patent.
that all credit for the introduction Of
the pneumatic tire i'm connection with
modern vehicles should be given to Dr.
Dunlop, the Irish veterinary surgeon.
who revived and revised the pneumatic
Tire, and who was granted a patent for
his Invention, which was later held
invalid because OF the priority Of
claims. To this day Dunlop
tire is practically the only one manu-
faciSred In England and Messrs. Du-
Cross control its destnies."
With these tires as the first step, The
tire industry took a quick leap forward
and soon this country led the world
In quality and quantity Of production

quickly gained dominance were Morgan
