TYRE-SETTING MACHINE.
(BY TELEGRAPn.—OWN CORRESPONDENT). Auckland, Last Night. An exhibition of West's patent hydraulic tyre-setting machine was given this afternoon by Messrs John Chambers and Son. A number of wheels, both new and old, were tested by means of the new tyre-setter. In one experiment a now five feet wheel was placed inside the hoop or tyre, which measured 4in. more in circumference than the wheel, and the tyre was compressed by the setter until it fitted tightly against the wheel, the whole process occupying about a minute and a-half.
