Show GOGDH WIRELESS TISJESILIEI "Tho selection df Goodrich resilient; wirelcas tires i,QT the G. V. electric , trucks operatea by the National Klec-trie Klec-trie Lump association in Clovclaiw!, to carry Mazda bulbs is a splendid Iribtite to the resiliency df our solid tires," says K. lv. Kautzer, local muuajjer of tho B. Goodrich company, Akron, Ohio. "Solid tires have always been con-bidered con-bidered absolutolv reliable, yot there was a time when Ihev were objected toj ou account of their lack of resiliency. Some manufacturers in nn effort to make their tiers more resilient, neglected neg-lected tho very necessary durability of tho tire. Our development department has, however, so improved the compound com-pound that it is not only wear resisting, but also highly resilient and eUicicnU hence these objections to the use ot Goodrich resilient wireless tires for electric trucks are groundless. "Furthermore, the resiliency or any tire bears an important relation to its power conservation. As a resilient compound distorts readily when it comes in contact with road inequalities, less power is used in forcing the weight of the truck up over the obstacle obsta-cle th?in with an unyielding compound. All tho power is used in propelling the truck forward, in an onward instead of an upward direction.. This question of power saving is a vital one with electric elec-tric vehicle oporators, becauao frequent recharging shortens a battery's lifo and materially reduces tho distance of tho truck's operations from its re-charginc. re-charginc. source." |
