Second TVA engineer testifies of challenges monitoring fly ash site
Testimony Tuesday during the second day of a federal trial over TVA's coal ash spill at the Kingston Fossil Plant painted a picture of an agency heavily compartmentalized, with employees doing their jobs in a vacuum.
A TVA engineer described trying to maintain a groundwater monitoring system at the Kingston plant in the years before the Dec. 22, 2008, disaster, but TVA crews kept running over the his monitoring devices with mowers or heavy equipment. A technician tasked with entering data from the monitoring system on spreadsheets ignored some of the information because there was no place to record it. He said no one told him what to do with the information and, he admitted, he didn't ask.
However, cross examination by TVA attorney Brent Marquand indicated readings from some of the monitoring devices would not have been that useful in warning about conditions that might have precipitated the collapse of a holding cell that allowed 5.4 million cubic yards of coal fly ash to spill into the Emory River and onto nearby property.
The bench trial, expected to last weeks, entered its second day in the courtroom of U.S. District Judge Tom Varlan. The five cases he is hearing represent about 230 plaintiffs who are suing TVA over property damage and health effects from the spill.
Under questioning by plaintiffs' attorney Greg Davis, TVA engineer Matthew D. Williams described his efforts since 2005 to maintain a groundwater monitoring system at the Kingston plant's coal ash holding cells. The system used piezometers and monitoring wells mostly. Williams said both are similar devices in the form of a pipe placed in the ground but piezometers only give groundwater pressure readings, while monitoring wells record such information but also can be used to allow water to drain.
Over the years, Williams' team sent monthly reports to various TVA engineers whose duties included keeping an eye on conditions at the ash impoundments. At times, especially in 2003 and 2006 when there were "blowouts" at the dikes supporting the ponds, the monitoring devices showed spikes in groundwater pressure. There generally was no feedback from the engineers so Williams said he wouldn't know how his information was used.
One of the challenges was just maintaining the system at Kingston as other workers would drive heavy equipment over the monitoring devices. At one point, Williams got approval to put small flags up to mark the devices.
Three piezometers were in the northeast side of the dike of the holding cell in the same area that would rupture in December 2008. A month before the collapse, Williams' team recorded a steep spike in groundwater pressure, especially with the three piezometers. Water had risen by eight feet in one, seven feet in another and six feet in the third.
At the time, Williams' team also was trying to do an accounting of damaged or nonfunctioning monitoring devices and this delayed the report, which didn't reach engineer Chris Buttram until Dec. 18, just days before the collapse.
Davis characterized this as missing a last chance to avert the disaster, but Williams disagreed. It was typical to see groundwater spikes during the fall rainy months so the spike may not have been significant. Also, Williams said he was not sure that Buttram would have been the one who could have acted anyway.
"I am a middle man and it is possible that Chris was a middle man, too," he said.
In testimony Monday, Buttram told how he took steps to remove some of the monitoring data taken at the time of the spill from a program that contractor Geosyntec Consultants Inc. had set up for TVA to record onto spreadsheets. Buttram said he left data from piezometers, which run about five feet below ground, but deleted readings from well points, which are similar to monitoring wells and are placed about 20 feet below ground.
Buttram claimed then, and Marquand reiterated Tuesday, that such devices don't give the same quality of information as piezometers and engineers don't rely heavily on them.
The court also learned Tuesday of other water monitoring information that did not make it onto the spreadsheets. At the time of the spill, TVA employee Christopher Hensley was a technician charged with taking the information sent by Williams and entering it into the Geosyntec system to make spreadsheets that he would print and give to Buttram, his supervisor at the time. Hensley said he had no idea what his superiors did with the information.
Under questioning by plaintiffs' attorney Paul Brandes, Hensley said the spreadsheets had spaces to record readings from piezometers and monitoring wells but not well points, so he just left out that information.
Hensley said his supervisors never told him what he should do with this data and he never asked.
Testimony continues today.

Travel Consultants in the United States with more than 10 years of experience in their profession represent about three in five of Travel Consultants. Salaries average out to around $39K annually and spread from $24K to $52K per year. Career length is the biggest factor affecting pay for this group, followed by geography. There are far more female Travel Consultants who answered the questionnaire than men, making up 84 percent. Job satisfaction for Travel Consultants is high. Just under one in three of professionals in this line of work do not receive benefits; however, the larger part report medical coverage and just over a half claim dental coverage as well. Figures cited in this summary are based on replies to PayScale's salary questionnaire.

Travel consultants assess the client's needs and expectations for a travel experience, and then provide them with the best travel options. They work to build an ongoing relationship with the customer to open the door for future bookings through the company.Read More...
Travel consultants must be high energy and able to work in a fast-paced environment, as they often work with clients that have a wide variety of needs related to planning travel. Clients' travel needs may be for work, vacation, or family. Regardless of reason for travel, the consultant's goal is to ensure that every detail is taken care of and that no problems arise during travel. Aspects of a trip that clients may coordinate include flight plans, hotel registration, and car rentals. They often are also responsible for coordinating trip activities. Travel consultants normally work in an office setting during regular business hours; however, some clients may require different hours because of time zones and their schedules. Travel consultants may be required to work on weekends and some evenings.
Travel consultant positions often require a high school diploma or equivalent. Many companies require experience in sales or service. Customer service skills are very important in this job, as travel consultants work with clients on a daily basis and must effectively solve issues that may arise in the course of travel planning. The travel consultant must be well versed in basic computer software and highly organized, as clients need information in a timely fashion.

Although some Travel Consultants become Corporate Travel Consultant, this progression is not the norm. However, the latter position does pay a little more at $42K. Travel Consultants most frequently advance into Travel Agent and Travel Counselor roles even though the median salaries are $4K lower and $1K lower, respectively.
Travel Consultants who responded to the survey report just a handful of professional skills. Travel Planning and Customer Service are considered valuable skills and can increase employee pay. Many workers who know Customer Service also know Travel Planning.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Experience and pay tend to be weakly linked for Travel Consultants — those with more experience do not necessarily bring in higher earnings. Although individuals who have less than five years' experience earn $30K on average, people with five to 10 years benefit from a notably larger average of $35K. For Travel Consultants, 10 to 20 years of experience on the job amounts to an average salary of $40K. Travel Consultants who surpass 20 years on the job report pay that isn't as high as one would expect; the median compensation for this crowd sits around $42K.

Why does Sadness,
Echo in my being?
Why does loneliness,
Ripple within me without noticing?
Thrusted with this ominous feeling,
Why did it happen so?
Since when did such a thing,
Cause me pain and suffering that's all so slow?
Vines of thorns slowly wrap me,
Bringing forth the want to break free real fast.
But I'm bound with the shackles of memories,
Preventing me to break free of my past.
No hope... It's useless to dream,
To dream for a better tomorrow.
Why did my happiness leave me?
Leaving me with nothing but pain and sorrow.
With the things I've realized,
I believe that there's no such thing as justice and truth.
I wear a mask of happiness to hide what's within,
For the seeds of hope that an angel sown inside me has bore a bad fruit.
Why won't tears flow,
At the moment they need to.
It's all welled inside,
I wonder why...? Couldn't get a clue.
Tortured soul impaled in sadness,
Now I have become.
My heart invaded with pain and suffering,
I guess my hope will never come.

Russia's Channel One Discloses Financial Data
State subsidies allowed it to operate with a profit.
MOSCOW -- Russia's flagship TV station Channel One has disclosed its financial data for 2009-2010, which show that it has been able to turn in a profit only thanks to state cash.
According to the disclosed data, published on Channel One's web site, in 2010, the station's revenues, mostly accounted for by advertising and sponsor projects, brought in 24.5 billion roubles ($845 million) against the expenditures of 25.8 billion roubles ($890 million). However, subsidies from the federal budget allowed the station, which has the biggest audience share in the country, to show the net profit of 1.05 billion roubles ($34.7 million). In 2009, the channel's revenues similarly fell short of its operational expenditures, but state subsidies allowed it to turn in a profit of 1.9 billion roubles ($65.5 million).
The station explained its dependence on state cash by the need to operate below cost providing its signals to smaller towns and villages in the country's far-flung regions, while the channel's major advertisers are primarily interested in bigger cities.
Channel One is available to 99.3 percent of Russia's population, followed by Rossiya (98.2 percent) and NTV (97.8 percent). Previously, the station didn't disclose its financial data and did so only responding to a request from the country's federal service for financial markets.

Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
From Anna Quindlen, acclaimed author of Blessings, Black and Blue, and One True Thing, a superb novel about two sisters, the true meaning of success, and the qualities in life that matter most.
It's an otherwise ordinary Monday when Meghan Fitzmaurice's perfect life hits a wall. A household name as the host of Rise and Shine, the country's highest-rated morning talk show, Meghan cuts to a commercial break – but not before she mutters two forbidden words into her open mike.
In an instant, it's the end of an era, not only for Meghan, who is unaccustomed to dealing with adversity, but also for her younger sister, Bridget, a social worker in the Bronx who has always lived in Meghan's long shadow. The effect of Meghan's on-air truth telling reverberates through both their lives, affecting Meghan's son, husband, friends, and fans, as well as Bridget's perception of her sister, their complex childhood, and herself. What follows is a story about how, in very different ways, the Fitzmaurice women adapt, survive, and manage to bring the whole teeming world of New York to heel by dint of their smart mouths, quick wits, and the powerful connection between them that even the worst tragedy cannot shatter.
"Bridget Fitzmaurice, the narrator of Quindlen's engrossing fifth novel, works for a women's shelter in the Bronx; her older sister, Meghan, cohost of the popular morning show Rise and Shine, is the most famous woman on television. Bridget acts as a second mother to the busy Meghan's college student son, Leo; Meghan barely tolerates Bridget's significant other, a gritty veteran police detective named Irving Lefkowitz. After 9/11 (which happens off-camera) and the subsequent walking out of Meghan's beleaguered husband, Evan, Meghan calls a major politician a 'fucking asshole' before her microphone gets turned off for a commercial, and Megan and Bridget's lives change forever. As Bridget struggles to mend familial fences and deal with reconfigurations in their lives wrought by Meghan's single phrase, Quindlen has her lob plenty of pungent observations about both life in class-stratified New York City and about family dynamics. The situation is ripe with comic potential, which Bridget deadpans her way through, and Quindlen goes along with Bridget's cool reserve and judgmentalism. The plot is very imbalanced: a couple of events early, then virtually nothing until a series of major revelations in the last 50 or so pages. The prose is top-notch; readers may be more interested in Quindlen's insights than in the lives of her two main characters." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"'Rise and Shine' is a literate and pleasing women's novel about two sisters: Meghan Fitzmaurice, beautiful beyond belief, happily married to Evan and mother of a preternaturally lovable teen-age son, Leo, who will loom large in the plot. Meghan is also the host of a national morning talk show, 'Rise and Shine.' Put plainly, she's a woman who has — or seems to have — it all. She's always seen from... Washington Post Book Review (read the entire Washington Post review) the outside here, described affectionately enough by Bridget, her younger sister, who, by comparison, doesn't seem to have much of anything at all. Where Meghan is beautiful, Bridget is pretty; where Meghan is married to the rich and handsome Evan, childless Bridget is carrying on a very low-maintenance affair with Irving Lefkowitz, a hard-boiled Jewish cop just a few steps this side of elderly. While Meghan instructs the entire nation on upwardly mobile trends, Bridget is employed as a social worker in the Bronx, dealing with 'lost public assistance checks, arson fires, black eyes, trips to family court, foster care placements, and calls from the cops to keep up with breaking news.' Clearly, there are two New Yorks here, and each sister dwells in a different one. Bridget isn't the jealous type, but she can't help but be aware of the disparity between their lives. 'Every Saturday morning,' Bridget observes ironically, 'unless she is covering the Olympics, the Oscars, a disaster, or an inauguration, my sister and I go running together in the park and have breakfast either at her apartment or at the Greek diner down the street from mine. She will tell you she is forced to set a slower pace because I don't exercise enough. She sees this as evidence of my essential sloth.' Within the first four or five pages of the novel, then, we know that we're dealing with a retelling of the truism that the mighty must inevitably fall. The woman who has everything will soon find herself with her lovely nose in the dirt, and it will be her humble, unassuming (if somewhat tiresome) sister who must help her to rise again. But this classic story gains greatly in intensity because of the place where it is set — the magnificent and intimidating city of New York, the crucible in which most American worldly success is defined. 'I will say I live in New York,' Bridget announces, this time without any irony at all, 'because it is the center of the universe.' Thus, a simple tale of two sisters, one full of hubris, the other of virtue, becomes a prismatic reflection of the metropolis itself. 'Bad news comes to you in strange ways in New York,' Bridget observes, as she finds out the first part of the bad news that will propel this novel. Or, more discursively: 'The black car could be the official icon of New York, or at least the New York Evan and Meghan call home. ... New Yorkers with pretensions but middle-class means take one for airport trips or special occasions, an anniversary at the River Cafe or a black-tie event at the Waldorf.' (And so on, for a dozen more lines.) Or: 'It is impossible to get lost in New York because, by some defiance of the law of averages, you keep running into people you know on the street, on the subways, and in restaurants.' (The common sense explanation for this is that the island of Manhattan is about the size of 20 junior colleges pushed together, but ah! if it's the center of the universe, there has to be a Larger Reason than that.) After her first misfortune, the hitherto indestructible Meghan confides to her sister, 'You know what (New York) looks like? It looks like a mouthful of sharp silver teeth. It's the scariest thing you'd ever want to see. It's all right if you're nobody, and it's great if you're on the way up. But man, it is a place that is cruel to used-to-bes. Divorced wives, has-been writers, rich guys who aren't rich anymore.' What happens early on in 'Rise and Shine' is that the amazingly lucky Meghan takes a hideous double hit in her fabulous life. Her husband dumps her without warning. The next morning — thinking the microphone is off — she utters true (but madly inappropriate) words on her talk show and is summarily suspended. She crumbles emotionally and flees the city. Bridget is left to try to make sense of it all, flabbergasted by the goings-on of her brother-in-law, trying, as best she can, to take care of her painfully hurt young nephew, Leo. She's not too bright about Leo, finding him an internship at the very scary place where she works in the Bronx, but her intentions are so good you just know nothing bad will happen. She also has the temerity to go on with her own life, getting pregnant with twins at age 43, even though her aging cop boyfriend is anything but happy about it. It seems that Bridget and, by extension, the author believe in the efficacy of good deeds and good hearts, even in that scary place with its fabled indifference to hapless individuals, whether they be famous or not. The sisters have faced adversity before and certainly will again, but this kind of novel demands a happy ending and gets it. Some unfortunate events occur that seem to be the fault of one sister but are actually due to the ignorance of the other. One of them will end up with a man whose last name is Prevaricator, which doesn't seem to bode all that well for the future. A minor character suffers a life-changing tragedy, but all's well that ends (fairly) well, so they say. Anna Quindlen has developed an enormously likable writing voice, and by telling her tale through the humble voice of an unassuming naif, she allows her readers the illusion that we all might live securely within the velvety pink confines of the New York maw, safely out of the way of those silver teeth. She makes the city accessible and downright neighborly.(That's why we call this stuff fiction, I guess.)"

A method and means of curing a solid rubber vehicle tire in which a mass of uncured rubber is attached to the outside of a rim, the rim placed in a mold, and heat applied to the rim causing heat to permeate outward through the rubber, producing a gradient of hardness wherein maximum hardness occurs in the rubber adjacent to the rim and thus where the rubber adheres to the rim. This is accomplished by means of two plates which form, with the rim, a sealed cavity interior of the rim to which cavity steam is applied.
1. A tire molding machine for curing and molding a solid rubber tire from a tire blank, the tire blank consisting of an annular rim having two exposed outer opposite side edges and a mass of uncured rubber around the outer periphery of the rim, the machine comprising:
an outer annular shell having opposite outer side edge surfaces and a peripheral inner surface, the latter adapted to support, encase, and form the periphery of the mass of uncured rubber of said blank;
a first side closing plate member closing one side of said shell and having a first annular mating surface adapted to sealably engage one side edge surface of said shell, a second annular mating surface comprising a notch adapted to sealably engage a side edge of the rim of said blank when in place in said machine, and hot vapor entrance means comprising a vapor line radially interior of said second annular mating surface, said line extending from inside to outside of said plate member for introducing a hot vapor;
a second side closing plate member closing the opposite side of said shell and having a first mating surface adapted to sealably engage the opposite side edge surface of said shell, a second annular mating surface comprising a notch adapted to sealably engage the opposite side edge of its rim of a tire blank, and hot vapor exit means comprising a vapor line radially interior of said last-named second annular mating surface, said line extending inside to outside of said second closing plate member for discharging a hot vapor; and
closing means for selectively applying a force between said first and second side closing plate members, whereby said first and second side closing plate members may be selectively held in a closed configuration and said side closing members integrally forming the sides of a tire and providing a sealed cavity radially interior of the rim of a tire blank, whereby hot vapor pressure is directly and uniformly applied to the entire surface of said rim by passing a hot vapor through said cavity.
2. A tire molding machine as set forth in claim 1 wherein said annular shell includes an annular cavity, and said machine further comprises means for applying a heated vapor to said annular cavity, whereby heat may be applied to the outer periphery of said blank as well as to the inner periphery of rubber of said blank.
This is a continuation of application Ser. No. 446,810, filed 2/28/74, now abandoned.
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to the manufacture of solid rubber tires and particularly to an improved means of curing the rubber.
2. General Description of the Prior Art
Solid rubber tires are widely used on industrial vehicles. A typical such vehicle is a forklift truck employed to stack, unstack, and move all types of materials. The manufacture of solid rubber tires is a substantial business because of the number of such vehicles and because the severe usage to which the tires are put causes them to have a relatively short life requiring frequent replacement. Heretofore and in accordance with present practices, excluding the method and means determined by the applicant as herein described, the curing of the rubber as solid rubber tires are molded has been accomplished by applying heat to the outer or peripheral portion of a mold causing a inward migration, and thus dissipation, of heat with the result that maximum hardness of the rubber is produced at the outer surface with minimum hardness being achieved in the region where the rubber bonds to the rim.
It is the object of this invention to provide a more durable tire, and in doing so, the applicant has determined a new means of solid tire manufacture. It is a further object of this invention to reduce the curing time, and thus cost, of tire production. In accordance with the applicant's discovery, he determined that the principal cause of deterioration and destruction of solid tires conventionally manufactured was that there was a severe lack of firmness of the rubber adjacent the rim thus permitting it to tear away from the rim. He then determined that the basic process of curing from outside to inside was probably at fault and confirmed this by changing the method of manufacture and means for doing same to that which follows. After applying a selected mass of uncured rubber around a rim of a desired size, the thus formed tire blank, as it is usually called, is placed in an improved mold assembly wherein heat is applied to the rim. As a result, the heat first strikes the rubber adjacent to the rim and then migrates outward through the rubber to the outer periphery of the rubber with, of course, maximum heat being experienced by the region adjacent to the rim with some gradual decrease of heat when measured radially from the rim outward through the rubber. Heat is maintained in a temperature range of 225� to 400� for a curing period of 1/2 to 4 1/2 hours. Alternately, heat is also applied to the periphery of the tire causing curing to proceed by virtue of both inward and outward heat migration which enables curing time to be reduced by approximately one-third, and at the same time, enabling a desired higher degree of hardness to be achieved adjacent to the rim. By virtue of the decreasing temperature gradient outward from the rim, there is produced a hardness contour which is maximum in the vicinity of the rim and decreases to a condition of essentially minimum hardness at the outer periphery of the tire. This, it has been found, is a desired result, enabling maximum "give" on the outer surface of the tire where it strikes objects and uneven floor surfaces, and with minimum "give" at the rim where it is desired that a very firm condition exists to achieve maximum bond to the rim.
FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of an embodiment of the invention.
FIG. 2 is a sectional view along lines 2--2 of FIG. 1 to which has been added a sectional view of a solid rubber tire in the process of being molded.
Referring to the drawings, FIG. 1 shows a two-part tire mold 10, constructed in accordance with the invention, and which consists of an upper and lower half 12 and 14, respectively. The lower half 14 of mold 10 is centrally secured by brackets 16 to lower platen 18 of a conventional hydraulic press, not shown. Platen 18 is mounted upon a ram 20 which is operated by the press, and is shown in a retracted or lowered position. The upper half 12 of mold 10 is secured in a similar manner to stationary upper platen 22. Each half 12 and 14 of mold 10 is of similar construction and includes circular base plates 24 and 26, respectively, to which annular shells 28 and 30, respectively, are removably attached. Each of base plates 24 and 26 is provided with a circular shoulder 32, the outer periphery 34 (FIG. 2) of which is dimensioned to detachably accept the inner peripheral edge 36 of each of outer mold shells 28 and 30.
Circular shoulder 32 forms the outer terminus of an inclined planar surface 38 which extends inward to connect with a circular notch 40 formed in each of base plates 24 and 26 which notch is dimensioned to receive a circular band or steel wheel rim 42 (FIG. 2) to which a mass 44 of uncured rubber has been affixed. This combination is commonly referred to as a tire blank, which is designated 45. The inwardly disposed periphery 46 of notch 40 extends above the surface of plates 24 and 26 to form a second raised shoulder 48 which is adapted to support metal rim 42 in a position concentric to outer shells 28 and 30.
Rim contacting edge 50 (FIG. 2) of circular inner shoulder 48 is chamfered to facilitate correct initial engagement between steel rim 42 and shoulder 48 when mold halves 12 and 14 are being engaged. Steam lines 51 and 52 in base plates 24 and 26 provide live steam at a desired temperature to the interior of mold 10. Typically, steam would be applied from steam generator at inlet 51a of line 51 and exhausted through a restricted orifice (not shown) connected to outlet 52a of line 52. Inwardly disposed or circular recess 54 is provided in base plates 24 and 26, and with respect to base plate 26, this recess enables condensed moisture which collects during the curing process to be forced out through steam line 52 formed in base plate 26. Mold shells 28 and 30 together form the periphery of mold 10. To enable curing from the periphery of a tire inward as well as outward to accelerate curing when desired, each is provided with a continuous inner cavity or passageway 56 through which a heated medium such as steam may be passed through inlet and outlet lines 58 and 60, respectively. Alternately, when heat is to be applied only to the inner cavity 61 of mold 10, passageway 56 may be omitted. Inward contiguous edge regions 62 and 64 of shells 28 an 30 are formed with interlocking flanges 66 and 68 which are adapted to support upper and lower halves 12 and 14, respectively, of mold 10 in a precise concentric relationship when pressed together as shown in FIG. 2. The concave inner surface 70 of each shell is equipped with tread-forming lugs 72 which extend transversely from inclined surfaces 38 of the base plates to a point near mating flanges 66 and 68, being of a thickness and width to form a tread of a predetermined depth and spacing. Alternately, a no-tread design would be employed to achieve a smooth tire.
Upper and lower shells 28 and 30 are relatively oriented such that lugs 72 of one shell are transversely positioned at a point midway between tread lugs 72 of the opposite shell, being rotationally supported in this position by mating-tapered insert 74 and socket 76, attached to the outer periphery of upper and lower shells 28 and 30, respectively.
In operation, a mass of rubber 44 to be cured and tempered to form a solid-type rubber tire 45 is placed in lower half 14 of mold 10 when in retracted position as shown in FIG. 1. The press is then energized to apply an upward force to ram 20 as indicated by arrow 78 to compress the blank tire 45 between halves 12 and 14 wherein steel rim 42 is supported as shown in FIG. 2 with the opposed edges 80 and 82 inserted in the opposed notched regions 40 and being concentrically supported by inner collar 48. Inclined surface 38 of each of circular support plates 24 and 26 is in contacting engagement with the opposing sides of rubber tire 45 and the outer peripheral surface of tire 45 is forced into high-pressure contact with the inner peripheral surfaces 70 of shells 28 and 30. A seal is thus formed at the outer edges 80 and 82 of rim 42, forming a closed chamber 61 in the interior region of rim 42 as closed by plates 24 and 26. Steam is then injected through inlet 51a of line 51 to cavity 61. Steam is bled through outlet 52a at a rate sufficient to maintain a desired temperature in cavity 61. As a result, a desired heat is applied to rim 42. In this manner, heat permeates tire 45 from the inside and thus cures the tire from the inside toward its outer surface 85, producing a decreasing hardness gradient toward the outer surface. If so desired, curing time may be shortened by heating outer mold shells 28 and 30. This is accomplished by applying steam through inlet 58 of each of shells 28 and 30. Steam flow is then through continuous cavities 56 and outlet 60 which would be connected common to outlet 52a or otherwise connected to achieve a restricted flow to maintain a selected temperature and pressure in the outer mold shells. In this manner, the tire 45 is cured to essentially an equal hardness throughout. During curing, the pressure in mold chamber 61 causes the shells to slightly separate, enabling air to be expelled and a small amount of rubber to be expelled which is a visual indication that the mold is properly filled with rubber.
Shells 28 and 30 may be detachable and may be of selected widths to accommodate rims 42 of varying widths and also provide different tread sculptures.
Typically, the temperature of steam applied would be in the range of 225� F. to 400� F., and the curing time, with steam applied, would be in the range of 1/2 to 41/2 hours, depending upon the size and shape of the tire and whether both outside and inside curing is employed. The time required is approximately half of that typically required using the old method of applying heat from inside in. More important, the body and bond of the tire is improved because of the hardness gradient, the tire being of harder consistency in the region of the rim and of decreasing hardness from this region outward to the periphery of the tire. Further, by this method, guesswork is taken out of determining the hardness or durometer characteristic of a tire so that it will be known that the tire will be harder inside than outside, the outside being readily observable thus will be known that the desired hardness exists interior of the tire. As suggested above, both an outside and inside curing heat may be applied to further reduce curing time and will achieve a tire with an improved hardness characteristic over that of employing outer applied heat alone as is conventionally the case.
