Truck Wheel and Tire, November 1937
01
Artifact Overview
In 1937, Ford Motor Company created a series of photographs showing the process of removing a truck tire from its wheel. At the time, most tires still relied on a separate inner tube to maintain pressure and shape. Replacing a damaged tube meant manipulating the tire's bead along the wheel rim with a tire iron, a foot, and much determination.
