ADANAC, LTD.

Tyre Fillings. Stand 218 TTSERS of vehicles 'which are shod

LJ with of tyres are, always faced with the possibility of puncture, although following the increasing reliability of the inner tube the chances of road trouble of this kind have been much reduced. So long as they exist, however, manufacturers of tyre fillings will possess a talking point in favour of the substitution of the air tube.

,,This tyre filling is a spongy substance which is installed in a solidified condition in existing outer covers, and is guaranteed against hardening, flattening or change of consistency due to -varying climatic ,conditions. It is said to give resilience equal to that of the pneumatic tyre, and to enable 50 per cent, more mileage to be obtained from outer covers as a result of the constant pressure which is maintained. An interesting point is that the filling is interchangeable from a worn-out cover to a 'new one.
