.The story : behind the remark
' able success of the Seiberiing spe
cial serrice tire, It Is revealed to
day,' marks a, great forward step
, "in the production of rubber tires
la the United States. ;
- Tire life Ixnger-
The last' decade "has seen some
-astoundlnr developments in tire
construction," Mr. - Zosel - said
"Onlv a few years ago, motorists
, were delighted to get five or six
-tnousandmlles were from their
tires. But now if the rubber
"doesn't last twice that long, at
least, there's something wrong
The confidence of manufacturers
in; their products is exemplified
; by the; Seiberiing " tire protection
plan, which gives the motorist a
" full year's protection against any
tire damage caused by accident or
road hazard. ?
. " "And now, after freeing the
motorist from tire worry, the
Seiberiing company comes along
with , a new compound that in
creases the life of the tire by at
least 3S ner sent. During the
process- of vulcanization, this
compound causes a much closer
affinity between the rubber mole-
, eules hence the name 'af finite .
, The result is a tighter, stronger
and - toucher tread virtually a
-wear-proof tire."
' The new product was put
- - tbrouch exhaustive tests before
- being made a part of the new
. Seiberlinr special service tire,
Mr. Zosel explained. An abra
. slon test, in which the af finltq
tread and the old tread were held
-under equal- tension against a
" friction - wheef. showed that the
new tread stock wore down 35
per cent les rapidly than the
best stock heretofore known.
Careful Test Made 1
"One of the most interesting of
the testa,"" Mr. Zosel continued,
"was a 10,000 mile road tert
made with a composite tire half
"af finite and the other half the
old type of tread. Examination
after the test showed that the old
stock was worn nearly smooth,
while " the affinite half still
showed a heavy margin of Its non
skid surface. ;
"With the new Seiberiing tread
design, which, because of its
greater depth and width gives 40
tire accident from .any one of the
per cent greater traction, the in
creased efficiency of the " new
tire is brought well over 37 per
cent. ; '
The Hew 6eiberllng special ser
vice tire, " like all other Seiber.
ling tires, is sold under he Sei-
.lerllng tire protection plan, Mr.
Zosel added. Under the- Seiber
iing - tire protection plan, any
Seiberiing user Is entitled to free
repair for a full year, for every
- 6,000 Seiberiing dealers through
out the country. When a tire is
injured beyond repair, a new one
Is provided by- any Seiberiing
dealer at one-twelfth the origin
al cost if the accident occurs dur
ing the first month;, .at. two-
twelfths the original cost if it oc
curs during the second month

FORD PUTS OUT

Automatic Reverse Brake
Used 25 Years Ago
Bj- William E. IWrhtoUl
Associated Press Automobile
. Editor
DETROIT, (AP) The auto
matic reverse brake, now bidding
to a place as standard equipment
on automobiles, was used s cruder
form upon expensive cars of 2i
years ago.
The forerunner of the 1929 au
tomatic reverse brake was a sprag.
which was raised and - lowered
manuaUy by a cable. It contributed
to the safety of the automobile
and passengers and was of mater,
la! assistance In starting grades,
because it eliminated the necessity
of simultaneous release of brakes
and engagement of clutch. "
Starting a car on an upgrade
for years has depended upon the
skill of the driver, and' motorists
a level cities and , country ' have ,
Iglren little thought to the prob-
em. It Is the driver In hilly coun
try who has sought an . aid to
Uarting on an upgradeas well as
something to keep him from slip
ping should his engine stall.
Engineers have been work Ing
upon a means tof preventing re
versed rolling automatically Jor
more than two y.ears. The men
who have perfected the new auto
matic reverse brake say that they
found a-marked Improvement In
dsjvlng comfort even while driv
ing in level cities with the new
device,."-'. ' .. -
Drivers alwars have taken it for
granted that ft Is necessary to
restrain the car from rolling back
ward when stopping In traffic on
slight grades, at street i intersec
tions. The new 'device. Its design.
2fs say, prevents the car from roll
ing backward and saves manipula
tion of. the clutch or brake. .-,

show, .according to the engineers'
reports.: that it is durable and ef
fective. Engineering analysis
shows that the parts have ample
strength to 'hold the car from

grade where the wheels will not

that the horsepower loss caused

On October 20, 1927 Henry
Ford stamped the figure -1 on the
first Model s A motor, to be as
sembled, and building of the new
engine was ' under way.. It . was
slow' aCfirst, but Ford so-ordina-tlon
of Tmen, materials and ma
chinery soon sent the output to
higher levels, until It has reached
the total of a 'million new automotive-power

company presents a striking con

bad facilities for producing two
million Model T cars and trucks

to build a new car. Manufacture
of the Model T, except for service
psrts, ceased. The new Model A
car -was developed.
It was necessary . te change
over all the plants to meet' the
building requirements of the new
car. New machinery had to be
installed. Other machinery was
specially designed, developed and
built, and old machines- re
