These wedges are held in place by eight bolts, which pass through the felloe of the wheel and also serve to hold the felloe band In place. To remove the rim with a deflated tire from the wheel it Is necessary to merely turn tour nuts, which remove two pairs of wedges from the whtel snd thereby permit the rim to be readily removed ether two pairs of wedges, which are permanently secured to the wheel and serve to centralise the rim on the wheel. To place a rim with an Inflated tire on the wheel it is necessary to insert the valve stem which projects through the rim in a hole in the felloe of the wheel and permit the rim and its inflated tire to drop In position, because of its own weight. The two pairs of wedges are then re- placed and held by tightening the nuts, 'which are an Integral part of the weflgc.

The tire can be Inflated by a power-driven pump.

Remountable rims are also a source of economy because it would not be aafe or advisable to take a chance with old shoes and tubes, with the old-time tire, equipment, because of the serious delay and hard work Incident to a roadside tire change, while with remountable rims, i "blow-outs." pr a. puncture necessitate! 1 Ik. lt thHI uuk -w uuuuw. v- tire change la always attended by the usual city crowd, who are always willing to help by giving foolish advice, causing discomfiture and embarrassment to the occupants of the car.

Distance Wat Invented by Col. Blunt In 1657. It wouUl surprise a great many automobillsts who are so amillar with the name and use of such common automobile accessories a. the speedometer, the odometer, and the taximeter, to know that hundreds of years ago similar devices were known of and in use," said Kdwin O. Baldwin of Boston.

Mass. "Why. 2TO years ago the Udometer was Invented by Col. Blunt of New York, who call-d hi. machine the Way-Wiser." which he applied to the Cumberland stage coach of that day.

This was on Aug. 167, and the machine successfully registered the mile, and showed them by an Index as the coach traveled. Th Way-Wiser had its dial face divided Into three circles, one of which Indicated the number of roads, another the miles by tens up to one thousand, and the third circle ef the dial showed the miles with all the quarters Ijy and A complete and Interesting description of this seventeenth century odometer csn be found in the books published bv Charle. Scrlbner Sens of New York City, entitled Diary of John Evelyn." Of course the original odometer was that used by the Chinese thousands of yrarj ago. before the Christian era.
