Ne,c Solid Tire
For Trucks Has
Too NoueL Points

new solid truck tire embodying
two entirely new principles of CON
struction is now being placed on the
market by the United States Tire Com
pany, according to C. H. Whidden, man
ager Of the solid truck tire department
of that company.
One of the claims made Is that a
method has been discovered Of elimi-
mating the grain" in the rubber and
cracking, one of the chief causes Of
trouble in solid tires. The other is
that long step forward has been made
in solving the problem of preventing
tires from separating from the tire
bands.
With regard to this second claim.
it is pointed out that it has been the
custom until now to fasten the rubber
tire to the steel base by means of
dove-tailed grooves IN the steel banI
This union was mechanical and served
the purpose Of holding the rubber on
the band with varying degree Of
success.
The United States Tire Company's
laboratories report a process which
enables them to form chemical union
between the steel and rubber, and an
nounce that rubber can be vulcanized
TO steel, provided the steel is treated
IN the peculiar manner developed by
their chemists. This feature will prac-
tically eliminate base separation, one
of the most bothersome Of all solid
tire troubles.
The other Improvement embodied in
the new tire relates to the rubber it,
self and is the result of long study of
rubber and rubber compounds.
Every one is familiar with the fact
that many materials possess a marked
grain. This has been noticed par
ticularly in wood and in some rock for
nations, but it has not been generally
known that it is also chara CITE ristic
OF rubber.
Rubber has grain of spiral forma-
ton which, although invisible, is
nevertheless present. When the rubber
tire with this grain is affected by over
loading or rough usage it will chip or
crack on the sides Of wearing surfaces.
