STORY has been handed A down through the ages about one of our ancestors of the Stone Age who built up a large trade by winding serpents around solid stone wheels, as tires. The re- sult id to have looked more or less like our balloon equipped disc wheels of today. Inasmuch as there are no witnesses living toda story will have to be accepted or left; as you think best. However, in 1846 a Scotchman, named Thompson, patented this Egyptian idea. His tire was a crude contrivance—a leather cover bolted on the wooden rim of the wheel. The tire proved to be impractical and was spon abandoned, ‘Thomp- son had foresight, though, for his patent also included a rubber inner tube on the same principle as those used today—in effect the first pneu- matic tire. In 1871 Thompson built several road steamers of the traction type and equipped them with solid rub- ber tires five inches thick and ten inches wide. ‘These were the pioneer heavy truck tires. ‘Tie two-wheeled “Bone-Shaker” or velocipede was int ii Paris in 1864 or 1865. This torture ne was. originally equipped flat iron tires and hickory wheels. Later, solid rubber tires made of flat strips of rubher nailed to the wheel frames were used, esenar eet At left, tho earliest of solid rub- ber bicycle tires. At top, two sec- tions of the tire used on the “Phan- tom,” the bicycle de luxe of 1869. This tire was the first mechanically fastened solid rubber tire. The Thompson tire of 1846, above, was but without success. With the advent of the small- wheeled bicycle cycling was talfen up more generally and the question of vibration became an important The “Phantom” bicycle, the pride of 186 s of the old type. Radical changes in bicycle and "tire construction _ followed. Wood was abandoned and wire sus- pension wheels were introduced. Thick, solid rubber tires were vul- canized on a stecl ribbon, not quite meeting at the ends. ‘Two nuts were fixed to the steel ribbon together right hi da left hand This st complete mecha ically fastened tire of the solid typ: It was not until 1888 that a from Belfa ast.

The veterinarian’s first tire con- sisted of an air tube made of sheet rubber, around which wrapped a canvas bag whose sides overlapped. The rim made of a circular piece of wood. On top of this tire was fitted a strip of rubber serving as a cover and taking the road wear.

Also 8 single tube diagonally wrapped thread type which reduced the weight and gave more resiliency. Then for a short while a laced-up doubled tubed tired gained popularity, These various types of cushion tires were cautiously received in the United States and it was not until about 1894 that they were really ac- cepted. The improvement of the tire has heen rapid since then, culminat- ing in the present day distinct type of automobile tire, built up by con- stant experiment; improved by ex- perience and reaching its highest de- velopment in the modern flexible cord tire, with bead construction looped into the fabric itself. Cords of this type give a long, uninter- rupted mileage, with great riding comfort and perfect traction.
