Item Information

Title:
Tires ready for the vulcanizers in the vulcanizing room
Description:
Cord tires awaiting vulcanization are dangling from metal hooks attached to pulleys. These pulleys ran on an overhead circular track. Because of this round shape, workers at the Fisk Tire Company referred to this section of the vulcanizing room as the "merry-go-round".
