A slot iscut in tlie arm to allow the crosshead B to be moved over thelowest joint in the tire tread. The gaging screw C is then setdown till it bears on the tread of the tire. The amount that thescrew extends below the arm is subtracted from the distance lowers the screw 1/16 in. In order to get a square bearing forthe gage against the wheel rim care should be exercised to cleanoff the paint, so that there are no lumps. Holes arc drilledthrough A to lighten the gage.

Care must be exercised to allow forthe shoulder on the tire. The method of applying the gage isshown on the sketch. The part D is graduated its full length,as shown on the first inch.
