Building Up an Automobile Tire in Rubber Plant, Akron, Ohio, circa 1900
01
Artifact Overview
Tires were built on cylindrical drums. Plies were layered on the drum one at a time, and beads were added to the sides, to create what was called a carcass. The carcass was then removed from the drum and shaped in a tire mold. This stereograph shows part of the process at a tire factory in Akron, Ohio, about 1900.
