placed in the form, the inner plies of cord or fabric arc then 

 stitched upon the inner surface of the tire. 



If it is desired to operate the form at a comparatively fast 

 rate of speed, the treadle E is depressed, moving the friction 

 roller C out of engagement with the belt and throwing the fric- 

 tion roller F into engagement with the belt. 



These inner cords or fabric may be composed of any desired 

 number of layers according to the size or type of tire to be 

 built, The beads are then placed in their proper position and 

 tlie remainder of the cord or fabric plies placed over the beads 

 and stitched in place by the stitching wheel. 



After the tire is thus built up the form is separated and the 

 tire removed and finished by vulcanization in the usual manner.

MACHINES FOR VARNISHING AND VULCANIZING AUTO 

 TOP FABRICS. 



Ill the manufacture of auto top fabrics tlie success of the 

 linal varnishing and curing processes is largely dependent on 

 machines of special design and construction.

varnished and is not sticky' and' 

 when ready to be cured, the- 

 festooning machine shown in 

 Fig. 1 is utilized. This is- 

 shifted in front of the vulcan- 

 izer and two rolls of double- 

 texture fabric are placed in the 

 machine which delivers the 

 .sheets, one upon the other, in 

 festoons into the heater. 



Single te.xture fabrics are 

 first calendered or coated on 

 a spreader and then varnished 

 and cured, the two latter oper- 

 ations being performed on the- 

 apparatus shown in Fig. 2. 

 This machine takes the fabric 

 from the roll, varnishes it and 

 delivers it into the heater in 

 festoons of single sheets. (Cy-
