Giant tire manufacturer. This husky workman, standing six feet four inches tall, looks small indeed as he uses air pressure to clean the lid of the world's largest vulcanizing unit in an Eastern tire plant. The top section of this mold being prepared to vulcanize a large bullet-sealing gasoline tank, weighs sixteen tons and can also be used to vulcanize tires over ten feet in diameter
