chines they used in the Middle
Ages to force the truth out of people
always intrigued me.
I thought, though, that sort of
thing was all washed out. But I've
1'ust been in a Torture Chamber.
ve seen a torture wheel at work.
Forcing the truth out of TIRES!
This Torture Chamber 13 in a
safety research laboratory at Good
rich. The torture wheel is a gaunt
steel brute, standing higher than I
do, and I'm no midget. On the rim
of the wheel are heavy steel cleats
vicious ones. .
The safety seekers forced a Good
rich Safety Silvertown Tire against
this cleated rim, under pressure of
1,500 pounds. They pulled a lever,
and the steel monster began to turn.
Faster and faster! They moved
another lever, and the strength of
nine horses pulled backward on the
tire. One force against another, try
ing to tear its muscles and ligaments
to pieces!
By this time the tire was whirling
at 18,000 revolutions an hour. The
steel cleats were hitting it 450 times
a minute each time with a clout of
10,700 pounds!
PUNISHMENT? WHY,
THAT'S TORTURE! And just to
make sure no form of torture was
overlooked, the temperature in that
chamber was 120 degrees! The heat
of Sahara sand.
They SHOWED me !
The Goodrich safety searchers didn't
ask me to believe anything they
SHOWED me. They pummeled the
truth out of the Safety Silvertown
with the Torture Wheel. They drove
a car on Safety Silvertowns around
a "V" corner on wet asphalt at 42
miles an hour WITHOUT SKID
DING AN INCH.
I saw PLENTY. This
tire has GOT it. Yet they
told me it sells for the
price of any standard tire
not a eent extra! . . .
With thousands smashed
up or killed every year
in accidents due to skids
and blowouts. 111 say
this tire is NEWS in a
big way!
