TIRE HEATERS DOUBLE SPINDLE GRINDER It has been claimed that a tire can be expanded and removedfrom the wheel center after ten minutes heating, but in theseclaims the time for attaching and removing the heater is notmentioned. In the development of the Hauck portable tireheater for roundhouse and similar work, it has been consideredof prime importance to use the least possible time in attachingand detaching the outfit. The flexible casing of this heater ismade up of sectional interchangeable steel segments in any num-. Hauck Stationary Tire Heater. tier required and of the general form shown. Attached to thesesegments are brackets furnished with an index to assist in set-ting to any required diameter of tire. A steel frame truck isprovided, if desired. These heaters are adapted for burningcrude oil, and the tire casing can be adjusted to fit tires in. to 96 in. in diameter. For mounting new or old tires it is customary to heat as many^ets as can be conveniently handled by the force or equipment .A new 18-in. disc grinder, having several interesting features,has been developed by C. H. Besly & Company, Chicago. Ithas two discs for grinding two parallel surfaces simultaneously,each being directly mounted on the shaft of a motor. The right-hand motor and its disc can be moved by means of a gear andrack, and clamped at any desired distance within a maximum of10 inches from the other disc. In order to bring the discs incontact with the work the shaft and disc of the right-ha
