One of the most significant experiments in a new phase of tire repairing, con ducted by Miller tire engineers, has resulted in an unheard-of record for added mileage to tires, some of which were almost ready for the junk heap. A total of 419,550 miles has been added to 142 bus tires by the use of cord-patches, rubber ce ment and a preparation of rubber compound for plugging holes and other repairs In tire treaas. ine most outstanding feature of the ex periment, engineers say, is the fact that plaster cord patches arc self vulcanizing. one tire was repaired in mis manner after it had gone 15,847 miles. At this time It has reached a total of 25,221 miles and is still going. Out of the total of 142 tires, are still in service. The total or nearly half million miles added, represents cord patch repairs on a little more than half the total num ber of tires. Several tires have piled up a total of more than 5,000 miles each, since they were repaired, Miller tire men assert. According to tire engineers, the use of cord patches, rubber cement and plugging material is common enough on smaller tires and sub stantial added mileage is not un common. But the test of this meth od of patching large bjs tires, us ually overloaded, is said to be the supreme test of this method of tire repairing. Miller tire engineers, in their report of the experiment, ex plain that in making repairs they often had to pyramid two or three cord patches on top of each other. It is estimated that a total of 1,- 000,000 miles will probably be added to the tires on one fleet of busses before the experiment is concluded. Miller Tires Sold in Salem by Russ Smith 197 S.
