"He kn uvs only too wel' that ehanlm? a t'.re meins lost time, sometime-; a lost ap; oli5tn -ent, a Nt tim, a late (iinner. a disanpmnto 1 riend. an ouUnc marred, not to sav amtlvnc of sme 1 clothes, LTt'imv hands, willed collar, or, if In winter. 1 inue-s eh Hied to the bone, temper i riiini d. "Tiu -oref h-ally, the demountable rim was i to have prevented all this. The seasoned driver knows it did not. It mea ns al-; al-; most as mueh work as the elincher tire. It Is still n ease of getting oat and u-et-j tint; busy. The heay iron rim is held on the wheel with five or more holdins nuts. K.aeh of the-e must le unscrewed, i ta ken off.

"Now see t lie di :'treneo with a demountable de-mountable wheel well named the minute J wheel. i "I'raetieally the only time reoulred is that of jacking tip the cjir. ' This preliminary pre-liminary operation for all t Ire ehnir.'inc I is about all there is to t he chanplnff of a minute wheel you can easily lower the six t y-seeond reeord. "With the cur .iaeked up, pull out the loekiner slide on the hub, place the wrench on the larse nut holding the wheel to the flanee you do not even have to take off tho huh cap spin the wheel around, hold- 1m? the wrench firmly, and the nut is off ' pull off the wheel. ! "Slide onthe other wheel with tire nl-readv nl-readv Inflated.

"So easv and so simple Is the operation that a blind 'man could do the trick, N'o trouble lamp Is therefore needed. The tire can be changed on the darkest, stormiest, foulest, rainy nights as quickly quick-ly and simply as in d:vlicht. Tiie lare nut is easv to find and the lartre wrench erives ample leverage to jar it loose. After that, slmp'v hold the wrench and twirl the wheel and off comes the nut. You'll lauth at the trouble you used to have. Von can change a tire and eaieh the partv who passed you when your tire went flat. "You'd be ten miles on your wav while J the other fellow was look In i: for the tools' be needs to replace a tire in the old wav. j Von are back at t he wheel with ha nds clean, y,iner unruffled, no wilted collar, nntired. and it's taken you no longer than the time to lisht a pipe." The minute wheel will be shown and demonstrated at tho comintr Bonneville exhibit by the Inter-Mountain Electric company. |
