Tire recapping. A recap job on a passenger car tire. The tire with a tread strip of reclaimed camelback rubber is put into a curing mold. The old tread surface had previously been ground down evenly and coated with rubber adhesive. The plan to recap passenger tires with reclaimed rubber camelback, approved by rubber director William M. Jeffers, was put into effect in February 1943 to reduce the demand for replacement tires and still keep civilian cars in service

Headed for last cleanup. Six giant truck tires, of the non-directional type are being wheeled in for cleaning and painting. This pattern, developed for the U.S. Army in 1941 is used for field equipment....gives excellent traction in forward or reverse because of the horizontal cleats, yet rides well on the highway on the continuous center rib. Firestone (General) Tires, Akron, Ohio

Wrapping the finished tire. Seeing is not necessarily believing. Even when you see the tire-wrapping machine in operation, it is difficult to understand how it works....spinning a strand of paper around a tire as fast as the operator can feed them in. All the operator need do is place the tire in position; the machine does the rest. Firestone (General) Tires, Akron, Ohio

Fort Knox. Power line construction. This husky member of a construction crew, building a new 33,000 volt electric power line into Fort Knox, Kentucky, is performing an important war service. Thousands of soldiers are in training at Fort Knox, and the new line from a hydroelectric plant at Louisville is needed to supplement the existing power supply

Removing cured tube from mold. As the tire molds are all-automatic, so are the tube molds. This one has just opened; all the operator need do is remove the finished tube and put in another raw one. Note the seam marks in the mold itself, which leave their imprint on the tube. Thus a seamless tube may appear to have a collection of many sections. Firestone (General) Tires, Akron, Ohio
