The Clark Detachable Tire.

The Clark Tire Company, of Chicago,

111., have recently placed upon the market

a new detachable tire, differing considerably

from the usual tire of this description.

It is composed of a strut band, a casing

and an inner tubing.

The strut band is composed of a strip of

metal to which are attached a number of

struts so spaced and arranged that when

placed on the rim five of the struts engage

the openings in a standard rim.

The casing is made of the Para rubber

and constricting fabric; it is molded in

oval form to give it a compressed tread.

Upon each side of the casing is a chafing

roll so placed as to lie directly upon the

rim edges, thus preventing the rim from

coming in contact with the casing proper.

Eyelets are placed in the casing under the

chafing rolls and so spaced as to engage

the struts on the band.

The tube is said to be of extra heavy

construction.

The compressed tread is an advantage,

as by its means cuts or punctures have a

tendency to close immediately. The manufacturers,

however, do not claim a puncture

proof tire.

Repairs can be effected on the road, and

without the use of tools any part of the

casing can be released and the inner tube

withdrawn at the place punctured, a patch

applied and a permanent repair effected,

without the loss of much time.

Minor Mention

During his recent visit to London the
Shah of Persia bought six automobiles,
each of 12 horse power, roofed and convertible
into a close carriage. Each car
has seating accommodations for eight
persons. Two of the vehicles are to be
sent to Persia immediately with engineers
who have been engaged for them.

Removal

To secure more room we have moved our office from the
sixth to the thirteenth floor of the American Tract Society
Building, where our advertisers and subscribers are invited to

Alcohol Motors

In the Acetylene Number, to be issued in May, we shall

also consider the availability of alcohol as a fuel for vehicle

motors. It is well known that alcohol is a poor fuel as compared

with gasoline or kerosene, and that its economical use

in motors would only be possible if the price of gasoline were

raised to the point of extortion or its supply should fail and

the tax on alcohol now levied by the Government were abolished.

Still, we shall endeavor to present some interesting

facts in regard to this fuel.
