We have frequentlyreflected about the evil and tried mentallyto devise a remedy, but nothing seemedpracticable as long as steel tires werepermitted to roll upon steel rails. Wenow believe that an inventor has per-fected a wheel which will prove an ef-fective remedy and enable elevated trainsto be operated without objectionablenoise. Major R. P. Tomassek, a military andcivil engineer of mature experience inthe construction and operating of streetcar tires, has been for years devotinghimself to the inventing of a noiselesscar wheel, and we believe that he hasnow succeeded in improving a wheelwhich will meet all the requirements oftrain or street car service. Vulcanizedsolid rubber tires have seemed practi-cable for
