New Phase of
Tire Repairing
Akron, O.. March. 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.
