PAPER WHEELS ON
LONG PURR UNDER
PULLMAN COACHES
CHICAGO, May 11.—-The paper car
wheel that intrigued the Imagination
of America years ago, and which once
served on 'every Pullman car, is now
only a memory, according to the
Pullman Mews.
The steel wheel has succeeded the
paper cored wheel in every instance.
The public's idea, back in 1880,
that the (paper wheel's superiority
was that the paper center would
not be susceptible to the expanding
amd contracting influences of heat
and cold was a misapprehension, as
the real reason for its value lay in
the deadening of sound under pas
senger cars, particularly Pullmans.
It was successful for 25 j^ears and
then the all-steetMreel began to take
its place, until today there is not a
paper sored wheel on any Pullman
car, according to the News.
In manufacturing the paper wheel
common straw board .paper, such As
hutchers formerly used to wrap moat
in. was needed. At first 16 sheets
were placed together, dampened,
pressed and baked. Three sections,
or 48 sheets, were then pressed to
gether and dried for from 30 to 90
days In a kiln. The final process was
to take four sections of 48 sheets or
192 and press them together. This
made up the block from which the
wheel was made and it was allowed
to dry in the kiln six momths.
All that then remained was to turn
this block on a lathe until it at
tained the desired spherical form.
This paper center would be incased
In a steel tire and aides, the latter
being clamped together. A 38 Inch
wheel with a three Inch tire weighed
about 1,070 pounds. The present
Pullman all-steel wheel, of which
Jiere are 12 under each car, Is 86
Inches in diameter and weighs 925
pounds
