Re: Found it in my shop
I have a 1932 DeSoto that came with the Goodyear 700x15 airwheel on Detroit wooden spoke wheels. On the old tire the pressure was stated to be in the 13 pound range.
I have toured over 1000 miles with new Firestone 700x15 tires @ 28 lbs and have never had a problem. GEG |

Re : The "double" tubes. Remember the the lyrics of "Hot Rod Lincoln"?
"I've got safety tubes and I'm not scared The brakes are good, and the tires are fair" Is this what he's talking about? |

Re: Found it in my shop
years ago i worked in a gas station we fixed flats the chrysler cars had those tubes .what happened was they would get a leak in the outer tube & not know it. then they would get a flat on the inner tub may be months later when you tried to fix the flat the tube was stuck to the tire it took 4 men & a boy to get that tube out & when you did you could not repair it

Re: Found it in my shop
I remember back when I was in the Army we had the tube patch kits with the similar tool above. The kit came with these discs the size of the patch. After clamping it all together you would light the compound in the disc and it would burn for awhile essentially “hot” vulcanizing the repair.

Re: Found it in my shop
My Dad had a 1953 Caddy. It had Goodyear ' Double Eagle ' Tires. The tubes were like the ones above. The guys at the filling station hated it when he need a tube repaired or changed. They were supposed to be a safety feature. All this took place 57 years ago so I hope my memory serves!
