rector of the original; Dunlop Com
pany was never in nor pf the rubber
industry, says the Indid Rubber Jour
nal of London.
Accounts differ as to the circum
stances under which he developed his
idea for the use of pneumatic tilies,
a patent for which was taken out on
the 23rd July, v1888. .Probably th'e
most reliable story is that said to
have been related by Mr. Dunlop. His
ten-years-old son had a tricycle which
bumped grieviously on the imperfect
Irish roads. Mr. Dunlop felt that
something ought to be done about it,
and he set to work. "I formed the
rims of the wheels," he said, "of Am
erican elm. I made an air-tube of
rubber, covered it with cloth, and then
with rubber again. My son rode this
tricycle to Belfast, and people stared
and laughed at the clumsy wheels,
but he out-distanced other cyclists
easily. In May, 1889, I turned out my
first racing bicycle with the new
tire, and it carried off all the first
I prizes at the Queen's College sports
' at Belfast." '
Dunlop's aptent might have passed
into oblivion in the same way as
Richard William Thomson's 1845 pat
ent for an elastic tire had not Harvey
(iu Cros, Sr., the'amateur light-weight
and midle:weight champion of Ireland
realized its possibilities and joined
lorces with Dunlop.
Tho first pneumatic tire company
wk, carted in Dublin in 1889, and of
the nominal capital of 25,000 pounds
only about IS',000 pounds was 'subscrib
ed. It was combined with a cycle
agency, the prospectus putting for
ward that if the pneumatic tire did
not succeed the cycle agency would
! pay dividends on the shares! With
in four years, however, a dividend of
200 per cent was declared. When the
tire factory was established in Dub

the adjoining residential area, raised
an outcry on account of the fumes
iron the factory, whereupon works
were established in England, and the
Lincoln Place premises were used as
a distributing center for Ireland. Mr.
Dunlop was often heard to deplore
the fact that Irish people did not
share in the benefits which an ever
increasing tire factory would have
brought to them. Tire Trade Journal.

About

John Boyd Dunlop, aged 81 years,
commonly regarded as the inventor
of the pneumatic tire, died in Dublin,
Ireland, on October 25. He was a na
tive o f Scotland and came to Belfast,
Ireland to practice as a veternariaa.
Later he removed to Dublin.
Although his name has become a
household word in the world of cy

as California is concerned. The out
look for the future continues bright,
with promise of greater prosperity in
1922 than has been enjoyed for a
number of years.
There is also a splendid and growing
market in the orient for American
made motors and tires, which is
awaiting develonment.
