This week in Kansas City, Goodyear also will begin test marketing "radial-ply" tires, which have been popular in Europe for years, but are new to the U.S. Normally the layers of cord in a tire are set at 30° angles to one another, forming a diamond pattern around the wheel, but in a radial tire the cords are at 90° angles, forming a pattern of crosses. With this structure, the faster a car goes, the more tread is slapped onto the ground. The result is better road grip and up to 100% longer tread life-but also...
...common abnormalities. A single deep crease, instead of two separated lines, from the base of the index finger to the base of the pinkie is known as a "simian line" (see diagram). It occurs with many disorders including mongolism and some rubella (German measles) defects. Also unusual is a radial loop pattern pointing toward the thumb in the ridges of any finger other than the index...
...together as possible around a central sphere, he found that instead of forming a still bigger sphere, they made a 14-faced polyhedron-six of the facets in the form of squares, and eight as triangles. Fuller called this figure a vector equilibrium because the outward thrust of its radial vectors is balanced by the restraining force of its circumferential vectors...
...city-wide scale, Sert's plans for the new Boston expressway system comprise a radial or "walled" system, dividing the city into sectors. In the future he pictures the various functional units of cities divided on the lines of these transportation sectors...
