The worlds largest industrial
truck tire, huge 'doughnut" of
rubber and steel capable of car
rying more than seven tons, has
just rolled off the production line
at the B. F. Goodrich Company,
Akron, o. Weighing 206 pounds,
including the single flange steel
base to which it is bonded, the
tire is designed for use on indus
trial fork and ram trucks used in
steel mills for moving strip
steel.
Made of solid rubber, with
grooved thread construction, the
tire is designated in size as ok
16x16, with the first dimension
representing the overall dame
ter in inches. the second the
width at the junction with the
steel base band, and the third
the diameter of the wheel on
which it is installed by press
fit APPLICATION.
Rated carrying capacity of the
new tire is 14,450 pounds, at
speeds of 8 to % miles an hour,
compared with the 140 pounds
carried by the Aka size, which
is the smallest unit in B. F.
Goodrich's industrial tire line.

Push Synthetic Rubber

Manufacture of synthetic rub
Der had been increased greatly.
even before the Japs struck at
Hawaii and Manila and closed
off the Pacific supply. Now the
rubber companies are intensity
ing their efforts to get greater
stock on hand. Our stock pile
has been built up to a record
figure by recent importations
from the Far East, but the in
creased military needs is ex-
pected to deplete it again.
AS for copper, experts FORE
cast that automobiles may soon
use a combination steel and cop
per radiator to save the greater
part of the so pounds used in
automobiles. Heretofore sugges-
tons to drop the copper radi-
ator for steel has been met by
the objection that it would mean
too great a change in design
and too many new machine
tools which are impossible to
get.
The hybrid radiator, however,
is said to overcome these objec-
tons.

Longer Work Hours
Should Be Rule for
Those in War Jobs
BY b. G. FORBES
Longer hours, more work.


That should be the rule forth
with for all engaged in war
work-and for government en-
ployes. whose rolls are multi
plying inordinately.
Labor leaders are expressing
such ardent loyalty that they
doubtless will raise no objec-
tons, no barriers.
Will they be prepared. in the
national interest, TO increase the
normal work week without de-
manding time-and-half for at
least a few additional hours,
say four? Such an arrangement
say four? Such an arrangement
would not only save taxpayers a
lot of money, but would facili-
tate expansion of production.
l am hopeful that labor unions
will alter their whole attitude
now that we are at war, that
they will refrain from hasty
stoppages of work. that they
will willingly submit disputes to
arbitration, that they will in
crease their output.

To Get Materials
May Force New Cuts
By sILER FREEMAN

The war developments spell
only one thing to the automobile
industry-further curtailmert. 1t
may not be the setting OF far
lower quotas. although that is al
most a certainty to which the
industry is resigned.
But availability Of materials
is the factor which will cut fur
Their into production schedules,
company officials fear. The Far
East situation makes rubber
probably the most critical ma
terial on the market. The copper
scarcity is not far behind and
steel is the third factor, now
that the war effort must be
stepped up.
Only essential production OF
cars will be permitted by Feb
ruary or March. is the forecast.
The certificate of need to get a
new car, long rumored and used
just recently by a salesman as q
lever to obtain an order. may
come into being with the new
emergency.
