STUDY LARGER RIMS FOR TIRES

Auto Engineers Learn of Good and Bad Peints From Makers.

By Science Service

DETROIT, Jan. 10.—When you buy a new car next year, or the year after that, the wheels may have wider rims than those on the *41 models. Results of a co-opera-tive study by the tire and automobile industries have revealed a number of advantages—and some dis advantages—to larger rims, members of the Society of Automotive Engineers heard at their meeting here recently.

- The proposal is to use existing|.

tire sizes, but-on rims 1 to 1 inches wider than at present. This would make the ratio of rim width to tire width 75 per cent to 82 per cent; instead of 62 per cent to 68 per cent as they are now.

‘News came back to Indiana today of one of her sons who quit his job the day before Christmas, left his father and sister and hitch-hiked 800 miles to Toronto “to get a crack at the Nazis.” Oswald “Ossie” Brite, 24, of Evansville relates part of his experiences in a letter to J. E. O’Brien, of The Indianapolis Times staff. He just “up and left” after work Dec. 24, and wrote his father on arriving in Toronto to ask that his birth and educational certificates be forwarded for enlistment purposes. “Ossie,” who has had 60 hours of flying to his credit in Evansville, plans to join the R. C. A. F.

Tire & Rubber Co. dellared tests had revealed that with wide rim tires: ~ “1. There is an average improvement of 20 per cent in non-skid tread mileage, the increase ranging from 5 per cent for easy driving conditions to 80 per cent for tests at maximum speed under hard driving conditions. * “2, Stability and cornering power increase with rim width—approximately in the same proportion. + “3. The effect of increased stability is very evident in improved cross-wind handling, especially at high speed. “4, From two to four pounds per gquare inch reduction in tire pressure was found necessary with widerim tires to produce equivalent ride, equal harshness, thump, and so on.”

Ancther Balkan | Tale Squelched

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 10.—Mrs.| George H. Earle, wife of the Unit- | ed States Minister to Bulgaria, put an end today to one Balkan| rumor—that her husband had won her Christmas present, an emerald ring, in a pin ball game with Bulgaria's King Boris. “I think the whole story is fan=| tastic and it is a shame fo spoil my lovely Christmas present this| way,’ she said. “With the tension that has existed in the Balkans for some time, I am sure the King and my husband are too busy to

play a pin ball machine.” Mrs. JBarle doesn’t know who started the rumor, but it is gens erally known here that Mi. Earle bought a pin ball machine frorn a Philadelphia club and took 3 to Bulgaria with him.

Increase Stability

) R. D. Evans, manager of the Tire Research Development Department of the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., pointed out that engineers had long recognized that wider rims increased a car's lateral stability and cornering power. In these respects, he declared, widening the rim should have effects closely corresponding to increasing the inflation pressure, “As far as the tire is cpncerned, the major, if not the only discernible betterment of wide-base rims is that of treadwear,” he said.
