Headed for last cleanup. Six giant truck tires, of the non-directional type are being wheeled in for cleaning and painting. This pattern, developed for the U.S. Army in 1941 is used for field equipment....gives excellent traction in forward or reverse because of the horizontal cleats, yet rides well on the highway on the continuous center rib.

New oversize trailer for war workers. Note modern floating axle on the new oversize bus trailer which holds 141 persons and may be the answer to the problem of transporting war workers to outlying defense plants. Designed and built by Office of Defense Transportation and War Production Board (WPB) officials with cooperation of private companies, the trailer rolls on eight standard truck size tires, with the usual six tires on the power unit. The truck trailer unit as a whole is fifty-five feet long

Wrapping the finished tire. Seeing is not necessarily believing. Even when you see the tire-wrapping machine in operation, it is difficult to understand how it works....spinning a strand of paper around a tire as fast as the operator can feed them in. All the operator need do is place the tire in position; the machine does the rest. Firestone (General) Tires, Akron, Ohio
