PNEUMATIC TIRES
RECOMMEND
FOR TRUCK USE

The development of the rural motor
truck express in America from an oc
casional private enterprise to that Of
nation wide business. with many
companies operating fleets of trucks,
brought with it a demand for in
creased speed, with protection to the
expensive truck mechanism and a
larger radius of delivery territory.
This demand presented a serious
problem to tire manufacturers. The
higher rates of speed could not be OBJ
tanned from trucks equipped with solid
tires. The solid tire met the problem
of heavy hauling such as the carrying
of ore, lumber and steel but with this
new form of light motor truck service.
the need was recognized for tire equip
ment that would give the resiliency
and speed of pneumatic tires and yet
Withstand the heavy weight of a mo-
tor truck.
The Firestone Tire and Rubber com
pany being among the foremost in
their field, met this demand for speed
with protection TO the truck mechan-
ism through the development of the
Ffrestone giant pneumatic cord tire.
The Firestone company has kept pace
with every step forward in the truck
industry by building a tire for every
commercial vehicle and every type OF
service. Starting with the benefit OF
ideas brought out in the development
of the Firestone cord tire for passen
ger cars. the Firestone engineers and
chemists went to work with the object
in view of increasing the size of the
cord tire to withstand the heavy
weight of motor trucks and at the
same time be as resilient as the small
er sizes proved to be, after severa
years of service on passenger cars.
After months of study, testing an6
labor the iF'restone giant cord tire was
finally placed upon the market. The
success it met with was due to q spe-
cial process of construction and cure
which produced unequal strength, dur
ability and flexible action. First-Tht
body is built Of walls Of stout cord
each imbedded in pure gum-no two
cords ever touch to cause friction
Second--The cushion, which is undel
the tread to absorb shocks. is an cX-
tremely thick layer of pure gum. Thirt
The tread is tough and thick witt
a large surface of corrugations to pre-
vent skidding. Fourth-The bead
which hold the tire to the rim, ar
specially reinforced with heavy cabl
wire to further withstand the exces
sive weight of the truck, and Fifth
The side wall is heavily reinforced t
give extra strength against the posi-
bility of rim cut and to raise the bend
ing point
The advantages to be realize,
Arizona republican. [volume] (Phoenix, Ariz.) 1890-1930, 1918-12-29

through the use of giant cord tires
on trucks are greater mileage throuGS
the reduction of internal friction and
the evil effects Of stone bruises-fuel
saving because Of exceptional resili-
ency the truck is carried farther, gal
Ion for gallon of gasoline-and through
greater air capacity and plant rub
ber road distractions and shocks are
bridged over or absorbed within the
tire, which results in smoother riding
and longer life to the truck.
This form of tire is adaptable to
trucks from one to two and one-half
tons without body fender changes.
Heavier trucks can be easily adjusted
so that the tire can be used with per
feet ease. Realizing that this tire
would be called upon to give service
to trucks of different weights and
sizes, the Frestone builders developed
a large choice of sizes, these ranginS
at the present time from 56X6 to 44Xl0.
Not being satisfied with the de-
velopment of the Firestone giant pneu-
matte cord tire the Firestone company
Immediately went to work to build Il
rim that would facilitate the easy and
quick change of the tire, should Il
mishap occur while on the road. The
quick change abilit yof these tires IS
a more vital consideration in truck
service than<in passenger car service,
because while a passenger car may be
run a short distance after the tire has
been Debated without receiving a
great amount of injury. a large truck
tire under load, cannot be run at all
without sustaining great damage.
The structural principle is the same
as that of all FirestOne demountable
rims for pneumatic tires. This prin-
ciple is wedge on continuous sur
face contact between rim and felloe
| by split wedge rim in such manner
| that the rim can never be sprung out
of true circumferential or lateral
alignment. Thus the tire is assured
uniform support and uniform wear
/ throughout it's circumference.
This type OF rim. is the well known
/ type C Firestone demountable rim
/ 1t has been made for passenger cars
4 for the past ten years and during the
/ last three years over million rims OF
! this type have been placed on the
/ highest grade American cars.
Thus with these two new develop
ments in truck tire equipment, truck
operators and shippers will reap the
! advantages of express truck service
where there was but freight before
And through increased speed and IA
( dius of operation the truck operator
receives a larger return on his in

he has been listed as the first of the

Durant has withheld the name of his
driver, and it may be that some pilot
other than the western champion will
be seen at the wheel of the Chevrolet.

somewhat similar to that at Indianan-

SCHOOL ENTERTAINMENT.

The teachers and pupils of the local high school have been rendering all assistance consistent in promulgating the work of the Ress Cross. A very interesting program was rendered at the Masonic hall last Friday evening by the first, second and third grades, assisted by Miss Moore's music class. The patriotic songs, drills, marches
 and recitations were listened to with much interest by those present. The manner in which the little folks con- ducted themselves showed that htey had been we'll trained and, like true Americans, they were sufficiently in spired to put plenty of ginger and pep into their every action. The pro- gram was unusually interesting and every person present enjoyed the whole thing. The door receits amounted to nearly $100. Together with other money raised by the school
