Great video. Thanks for the lead. Those people sure worked hard for their money! Tires back then were practically hand made!

Re: Tire Manufacturing in 1934 - Video
I don't think I would have worn a tie to work like I saw on some workers with all that open exposed machinery. I recall an engineer incident where he bent down over to look at a running lathe and his tie was grabbed by the chuck and he was killed. The video is great and I liked all the necessary operations that were required back then to make a REAL rubber tire.

Re: Tire Manufacturing in 1934 - Video
I wonder how accurate the test were back then compared to todays computers? Do they use the same type of tests today?

I am fascinated by pre-war technology. They built those manufacturing machines, products and invented stuff with slide rules and paper, not only that it was built to LAST! A far cry from the design teams, computer models and design, calculators, automated manufacturing, spell check and planned obsolescense that we have today. |

Re: Tire Manufacturing in 1934 - Video
Interesting video. I have worked in the manufacturing sector for two major tire manufacturers both in Europe, the US and Canada. I can tell you that modern manufacturing techniques for tires do not differ greatly from that seen in the video. The basic process is the same. Bias ply machines today are very similar. Radial tire machines are slightly different. The major difference in manufacturing today is the curing process which normally today uses presses that are single or doubles. Some autoclaves however are still used. The chemistry and basic process of heating the tire with a water bag in the middle of the tire pushing the carcass against the mold which is steam heated remains the same.
I was surprised that I had never heard of Brunswick Tires. Whatever happened to them? Dick |
