First step in re-capping process, if tire needs section filler,
1 Is raw rubber plug. Like an infected tooth, tire cavity is
drilled out and layers of rubber inserted. Cement and co
hesive action make it stick. Earl Young shows how it's done.
l Tire is then placed In section mould which "cooks" It at
200-degree heat, makes plug unrecognizable part of whole
tire. Above, Young is adjusting mould gear.

plied for IH hours under ISO-pound prenure. Rubber melts for first IS' minutes, then hardens
with continued heat. Above, Wilson places tire in "cooker."
Ready for re-capping, tire's old tread Is buffed down
smooth with automatic high speed buffer. Rotation of tire
during process Insures even job on entire circumference.
