Just what is a cord tiro and why
are cord tires so superior to fabric
tires that tires of cord construe
lion are slowly tout surely elbowing
fabrio ttrea out of public favor?
These are questions, says the
United States Ttre company that
are of Interest to every tire user
-who cares anything abut the cost
oft bis tires. The autoniobilist who
wants his tires to give him the
most miles for the fewest dollars
is interested in knowing "what a
cord tire is and why the cord tire
construction may be expected to
give far better service than a fab
ric tire.
The intelligent motorist is in
terested iu knowing why it is thai
it a car rolls down the hill under
its own momentum it will go many
feet further it equipped with cord
tires than on fabric tires. He is in
terested in knowing why a journey
on cord tires Is more comfortable
than on other tires, and why the
cord tires are less likely to skid
than those of the fabric construc
tion. Magic Found by Users.
The United States Tire company
finds that a large number of the
users of its famous Royal cords
knows that there is some magic
in these tires that makes them roll
along for thousands of miles more
than fabric tires, hut know only in
a hazy way that there is something
radically different about the meth
ods of construction of the Royal
cords.
: When the average motorist
thinks of a tire, he thinks of rub
ber and rubber only. When he looks
at a tire all he sees is rubber and
it is natural for him to assume that
on the quality and durability of the
rubber depends the strength .of tho
tire. But doop in iha Iioart of a
ttre Is a carcass, built up layer,
upon layer of tough cotton, and It
Is upon the strength of the Innor
carcass of cotton that the tiro must
rely for Its real strength.
In the so-called fabrio tiros, this
carcass Is made up of layers of clos
ly woven cotton fabric. Tho threads
which go Into the fabrio are tough
and make a fabric so strong that
tho casual observer could not be
lieve that It might bo Improved up
on as a material out of which to
construct the tire foundation.
Cross Weaves Produce Heat.
In cross woven fabrics the thread
crosses Itself and whon the tires go
into action the cross threads begin
to see-saw against each other. This
see-saw In g has two harmful effects,
First, it causes a great deal of frlc-'
tional heat the worst enemy of
long life for a tire and, second, it
causes' the threads to wear out
where they cross each other.
It one of the threuds in this fab
ric is pulled out of the cloth it
will be found to be full of little
crinkles, where the thread has
passed over and under the cross
threads. These crinkles are the be
ginning of the breaking down pro
cess which takes place after the tire
has been in long service.
Cord construction does away with
the cross treads in the construction
of a tire. When a Royal cord tire
is built, one Vtyer after another of
cords is built into the carcass. In
each layer the cords lie side by sldeJ
and run in the same direction. The
cords look exactly as a piece of the
cross-woven fabric would look it
it had no cross threads. Each ol the
cords is about as thick and fully as
strong as a piece of fish cord.

cut. or the storage buttery. It
indicates whether the generator is
charging the storage battery and
at what rate. It also indicates the
rate of discharge of batery to
lamps. It shows whether or nut the
whole system is working properly.
When the battery Is neither charg
ing or discharging the indicator
should show zero. The ammeter is
placed in scries with the circuit
and shows the amount or quantity
of current tho lights, horn and Ig
nition use. It does not show the
amount of current consumed by the
starter because of the high amper
age or quantity of current used by
this motor.
Ammeter troubles may he di
vided into two classes. Those that
manifest themselves when the en
gine is idle, and those that show
only when the engine is running.
Both cluses have two subdivisions;
with the lamps on and with the
lumps off.
It should show charge above 7
miles per hour. If the ammeter Is
showing charge when it should show
discharge, or vice versa, either the
wires back of the ammeter are re
versed or the battery leads are re
versed. It the ammeter shows zero
when running above nine miles
per hour, it shows either cut-out
or generator trouble. If ammeter
does not show charge with the en
gine speeded up and shows no dis
charge with tho lights on and the
engine at rest, it indicates loose
battery wires, battery terminals,
corroded dynamo terminals, or loose
