The sharp drop in the production of motor vehicles at the end of 1927 was reflected in reduced tyre-production during the last four months of the year. Consignments of outer covers to car manufacturers, described as original equipment sales, have been as follows :— Percentage of total con- signments described as original equipment sales. Per cent. Year. 1922 1923 1924 1925 1926 1927 27.0 87.0 28.0 30.6 30.8 23.6 Tyre manufacturers’ stocks were smaller by 112,000 outer covers, 1,868,000 inner tubes,.and 7,000 solid tyres at the end of 1927 than at the beginning of the year. 91.The fabric tyre is now obsolete in the United States, and the present trend indicates increasing concentration on the balloon type. Tyre manufacturers favour standardisation of tyre sizes in order to reduce the heavy moulding equipment required for differ- ing sizes and types. Changes have occurred during the last seven years from fabric to cord tyres, from clincher to straight-side tyres, and from high-pressure to balloon tyres. These changes have re- sulted in greater durability of tyres and greater comfort to motorists, but have kept the tyre manuacturers constantly in the market for expensive moulding equipment. As old cars are super- seded by new models the necessity for the continued production of obsolete tyre sizes will gradually disappear. 92. Absorption of crude rubber by manufacturers of belting, hose and packing amounted to 15,614 tons in 1927, which was 3 per sent. more than in 1926, but 17 per cent. less than the peak absorption of 1925. The figures indicate that an increasing amount of reclaimed rubber has been used in the manufacture of mechanical rubber goods. The total value of rubber boots and shoes produced in 1927 was £21,375,000, which was smaller than in any recent year except 1922 and 1925. The total value of heels and soles produced amounted to £4,040,000 in 1927, compared with £3,780,000 in 1926; and the absorption of rubber in heels and soles declined irom 4.276 tons in 1926 to 3.895 tons in 1927. Although absorption of crude rubber for insulated wire and in- sulating compounds increased from 3,047 tons in 1926 to 3,481 tons in 1927, the total value of the products declined from £7.800,000 to £7,020.,000. ’ ['ypes of ’yres pro- luced.
