Dunlop

he pneumatic tire​


Dunlop began experimenting with his son’s tricycle. He mounted his different developments of wheels on the tricycle axles and began to explore his idea: an air-filled tire that was softer and would make the ride smoother.


In 1887, Dunlop invented what would be the “new” tire. He first made a rubber tube and fitted it to the rim of a bike wheel. He then bound the rubber tube to the rim with strips of cloth and sealed it with liquid rubber to ensure that the tube was airtight. Lastly, he inflated the rubber tube with air to help absorb shock from the cobbled roads.

As an ex shepherd. The only use I can think of would be to keep feet clean for a show. They would need to come off for the judging.
 
one good thing about working for Dunlop any item you bought made by Dunlop or subsidiaries you got it at Trade price.if you bought items from a outside store/shop and gave the receipt to the Dunlop office they gave you the trade price refund:)
