In case of deep cut or injury, a portion maybe removed, and a fresh piece substituted. The wearof these tires is excellent. The Ideal pneumatic tire has received its namebecause it possesses all the desirable features which. Ideal Pneumatic Tire. the imagination of writers has given to the perfectideal pneumatic tire, which may be enumerated asfollows : First.—Resiliency.—When mounted upon ourdouble hollow rim of cold rolled tempered steel, it 294 WHEELS AND WHEELING. possesses all the resiliency that can be given to com-pressed air and rubber backed by a rigid rim of themost improved construction.

Thecore is made of patent elastic felt, weighs but eightounces per wheel, does not interfere in the slightest de-gree with the resiliency of the tire, but effectually pre-vents any nipping or cutting on the rim, which is thereal cause of nine-tenths of all pu
