"In regard to the verdict rendered,
it is clear that it rested on very un-

Ring Shaped Tubes
Modern competition necessitates a superior product made
without any increase in cost. Manufacturing inner tubes is
no exception.=
Compare, for instance, an ordinary tube and a circular-cured- -
ring-shaped tube.
Inflate both of these tubes and on the inner surfaces of the
E ordinary tube you will find a large number of ripples. These
ripples and wrinkles are the result of forcing the straight- c
madrel-cured tube to become round-and every ripple rep-
resents a point of possible weakness. The circular-cured =
tube, on the other hand, will have a smooth surface all
around, indicating that the rubber is in an unstretched condi-
tion and able tobgive much more service than is usually
cexpected of a tube. -
