In discussing the rubber requirements of the armed] Services, the report recommended tests for utilization of
‘rayon, ‘nylon and steel (in place of cotton) which, being stronger, would demand less rubber. “For example. the committee said there was need for careful work and prompt decision whether “tHe con‘ditions under which equipment will be used permit redesign of the equip~ ment so as to save rubber. For example, the use of steel wheels in‘stead of rubber tires to a greater extent.” The committee also singled out the tire “sandal” as being one of many novel. tire substitutes which possessed promise of “giving relief to the less essential drivers in urban areas during the next few critical years.” The ‘sandal, developed by the United States Rubber Co. and to be made in Indianapolis, consists of carpet impregnated with asphalt ‘and is fitted over an ordinary tire too worn to be used further with Sate.
