GATES TIRES TESTED
IN NOVEL SPEEDWAY
SECOND WHEEL JUST ADDED To
ARM OF "MILE HIGH SPEED.
WAY" AT DENVER

So that two tires may be tested
been added to the arm of the mile
high speedway on top of factory
unit of the Gates Rubber company in
Denver. Colo, the local agents, Tire
Service company, were notified this
week.
This novel speedway. the only one
of its kind in the world. is used for
testing tire and tube products of the
Gates factory. 1t is a cement track
about which revolves long steel arm
supported by wheels shod with Gates
tires and Gates tubes. The arm re-
wolves from pivot in the center of
the track, and the wheels are weight
ed to the heft of a heavily loaded
automobile.
Propelled by electricity. the device
spins about the track "a hours a day
during test. Every bit of new ma
terial that goes into Gates products
is thus tested Also tests are made
before any new tube or tire designed
or any change in design is placed on
the market.
New tires, or tires made from new
material, must stand 5,0O0-mile
test over this track before they re-
ceive final o. X. from the factory,
and no material is finally accepted
until the first products into which it
Is manufactured have been given a
speedway try out more severe than
actual service.
Different stretches of the track are
designed to conform to varying con-
ditions of roads. For instance there
are several feet of smooth surface
representing an asphalt street. This
is follow ed suddenly by rough cobble
stones an i chunks of sharp iron pro-
truding from and imbedded into the
more severe than actual service, as
the wheels on the device are turning
continuously giving the tread the
grinding motion to which it would be
subject on car that was forever
turning q corner.
When first operated, the mile high
speedway had only one wheel. max
ing possible test of only one tire or
tube at a single run. But the output
of the Gates factory has increased so
rapidly in the last few months that
the addition of second wheel was
found necessary if the policy of the
company-to test everything before
offering it for sale-was to be fol-
| lowed. A third wheel, to run over a
| x,, L. ,x,; L. -, kA
way, is now contemplated.
