e Dependable Dealers Use ™ These Pages FIVE FOOT TInt MADE. IN AKRON PLANT FOR U. 3. Army Air Service Col- laborates in Making World’s Largest. The largest tire in the world is being built at the Goodrich factories in Akron, O. The tire, designed by the engineering division of the Unit- ed States Army Air service, with Whom Goodrich engineers collabor- ated, will measure more than five feet high with cross-sectional mea- surement of 14 inches. Goodrich engineers estimate that the building of this tire, which is the first of set, will require ap. proximately yards of fabric, 52 inches wide, several pounds’ of steel wire for the bead construction and approximately 70 pounds of. com- pounded rubber. If this: amount of raw material was applied in the construction of 30x3%4inch tires, it would make 35 of them. However, more rubber would be needed in the costruction of the small automo- bile cases, for a smaller proportion- ate amount of rubber is used in the construction of airplan tires owing to the small amount of wear exper: ienced by the tread. The special molds for the struction and vulcanization of this b'g tire requires special machinery to handle. ‘This equipment was re- cant!y completed at the Goodrich pliant, where plans have been made to build more of these large tires as the ‘teris are completed on the one con: now being built. The huge tire will be part of the eauipment on a new type of giant aircraft, which is soon to be tried at McCook Field, Dayton, 0. The tire—a 64x14 inch straight bead cord—will sustain a normal load of 20,000 pounds at an inflation pres: 5 pounds. A spectal wheel has been designed to accommodate this new tire. The wheel assemb!y ‘Ione will tip the scales at better than 300 pounds, DODGE IS CHOSEN FOR EXPLORATION TRIP TO : SEEK OUT THE ANCIENTS: Having established to their own satisfaction the fact that man existed 600.000 years ¢ scientists Will now attempt to trace his origin back another million years. Led by Re Chapman Andrews who returned from with a nest of million years old, another expedition wailed from the United States May 26 for China. Thence the party will proceed into the heart of the Gobi desert, in Mongolia, where it is hoped a five-year search will reveal further amazing secrets concerning life of man, beast and arly reptile. As in the previous expedition, the scientists will rely on Amertican-bullt motor cars and trucks for transpor- tation, although reads are unknown in most of the vast territory to be explored. Mr. Andrews recently visited Dedge Brothers factory tn Detroit, where five cars were being | equipped for the expedition.

If you take e bar of lron or steel about two inches in diameter and eighteen inches long and heat one end until it is red hot with the other end, cool and place it in a barrel of ol] the c: on will form approximately one third of the distance from the hot end. At this point the temperature {3 -between 1100 and }200 degrees... “As this is the carbonjzing tem- perature the object is to keep the metal at a temperature below that point. n developing the Wills Sainte Claire engine tha thickness of the top of the piston was very carefully alculated so that the ten:perature Would be below the carbonizing tem ture. he cylinder walls were also kept to certain thickness in order to help regulaté the temperature. ‘The design of the piston In the Wilis Sainte Claire engine is cue of the achievements of C.

While scientists differ on the sub- ject, expecially since the discovery Gf the 600,000-year-old Foxiill man in England, Mr. Andrews is of the belief that man evolved in Asia and that it will be in the younger rocks of Mongolia, if anywhere, that traces of his first activities will be found, He is strongly supported, in this theory by such an eminent scientiet as Henry Fairfield Osborn who wes refefred to by William | Jennings Bryan, in thetr famous de bate on ¢volution, as “a tall profes: sor who comes down’ out of the trees to push good people who be Meve in God off the sidewalk.” t e—_—_—_ Automotive Melting Pot (Continuee from Page One) Uneovered Wagon"—on their totter ing Ford.
