QUeStiOn--With 20 ,00O, 900 cars running in
America, does not the experience of users
largely take the place of factory tests?
Answer On the contrary The very fact that
motor transportation is so important in the
life OF every one imposes an additional oblga-
ton for searching tests on the tire manufaC-
turer. The makers of United States Tires do
not expect their customers to test their tires
for them.
Question-W What does the United States
Rubber Company Factory Test include?
Answer-Everyt thing from the Tree to the fin
lshed lire. Raw materials are tested before
they go into the tires, and the finished tires
ere tested in the Company S laboratories and
on the Company's road test cars, trucks and
buses. They are also watched in actual COM
mercial service.
Question: What do these tests prove?
Answer-The material tests insure the quality
of material used. The laboratory and road
tests of complete tires prove up" the correct
ness of manufacturing processes.
Question What r61U materials GreteSted?
Answer-Cotton cord, which furnishes the
strength and fleXibiiity of the tire; rubber,
which binds the various parts Of the tire to-
gether and forms the tread or wearing surface;
Compounding ingredients, which we mix with
the rubber to give it the necessary qualities;
ana, sJeel WIRE, winch Is USED III making the
beads of the tire.
Question What tests are made on the
cord?
Answer--Cord going into the manufacture Of
Web. Cord for United States Tires is tested
for strength stretch, size, twist, ply, length Of
staple, and freedom from imperfections.
Question: What tests are made on Rubber?
Answer-Even though the quality and uniform
ity Of Sprayed Rubber is controlled by the
processes used on our plantations in the Far
East, every shipment received at our factories
is again tested for uniformity and also, after
mixing with sulphur, it is tested for its rate of
vuIcanization, its tensile strength and stretch.
