Under The Tread

Under The Tread is a short film from 1934 released on 16mm. It is held in the Prelinger Archives collection.

Very detailed film showing the intricacies of tire manufacture.

Much hand processing is done, many, many steps. Stock shots: Tires are built ply by ply; placed in many molds; inspections; research laboratory; factory; assembly line; vulcanization; Many torture tests of tires; including water forced into a tire under pressure until the tire explodes. Lines of test cars driving

� 16:03:26- 16:27:01

Fleet of test cars (1930s) moves along a nice rural road (looks like it leads into town). There are wooden telephone poles and bare trees. The film shows a bit of damage (nice looking, though). Cut to a lovely shot of the cars coming down a slope on the smooth road. The sloping road lies next to a grassy lawn (which looks as though it may be have a school on it). We see silhouettes of two small houses.
