BABY ON PNEUMATIC TIRES AND MAID UNTIRED 



Fven th<j lialiv must ride on ])nuuniatics these days. The baby 

 carriage equipped with pneumatic- 

 tired, ball-bearing wheels was sure 

 to come, and the tire used by the 

 pioneer manufacturer in this direction 

 is ilhistrated here. It has a practical 

 non-skid tread and in appearance 

 resembles a bicjxle tire but, of course, 

 is smaller. The designer of these car- 

 riages considered the baby's comfort 

 in providing the pneumatic tire, but 

 also thought of the one who must 

 push the carriage and added the ball- 

 bearings which make it glide along 

 easily with only slight pressure. — The

CORD TIRES FROM COAST TO COAST 



The develoimient of the cord tire during the last few years 

 and its demonstrated popularity has resulted in the establishment 

 of factory facilities for making high-grade cord tires in all 

 parts of the country. A few of the newer ones are shown here. 



The Knox cord tire is the product of a new factory opened 

 last year to manufacture both cord and fabric tires and red and 

 gray tubes of the best quality. — The Knox Tire & Rubber Co., 

 10 East Chestnut street, Columbus, Ohio. 



The "Savage" cord tire comes from the Pacific Coast. It is 

 oversize, hand-built from 17;4-ouncc Sea Island fabric and the 

 best quality plantation and Para rubber. There is a cushion 

 skim between the plies of fabric and a specially-woven breaker 

 strip and breaker cover, giving practically a double cushion. — 

 The Spreckels "Savage" Tire Co., San Diego, California. 



The "Autocrat" cord tire is particularly massive, has a mile- 

 age strip that insures long life, and a double grip to prevent 

 skidding. — McCIaren Rubber Co., Charlotte, North Carolina. 



The Amazon cord features a new tread design with wider non- 

 skid lugs This tire is made in all popular sizes including the 

 30 by S'A clincher for Ford and other light cars. — The .\mazon 

 Rubber Co., Akron, Ohio.

The "Holyoke" cord comes from "New England and is made 

 in one of the newer factories there, from the company's own 

 formulas, in its own molds. — New England Tire & Rubber Co., 

 Inc., Holvoke, Massachusetts. 



THE CLARK PEDMOBILE 



As seen by the illustration, the i)edmobilc is a specialized vehicle 

 for road use. It is neither a small bicycle nor a large pair of 

 .skates, yet either term is partially applicable to its description. 



Pneumatic-Tired Skates 



It is light and portable like a pair of roller skates, weighing 

 from four to six pounds, yet it glides over the roadway as 

 smoothly as a bicycle. 



The pedmobile is mounted on Palmer cord tires, either single 

 or inner tube, with detachable casings which are used at 100 to 

 125 pounds inflation pressure. Even at this pressure there is 

 enough flexibilitv- to permit easy steering which could not be 

 done were solid tires used. 



Another important feature of the pedmobile is the band 

 brake device that is efifectively operated by a forward pressure
