a car moves fast or if a car moves quickly or if a car movies at all. If it cant stop then its not worth a dime. A braking system is a must for all automobiles, old or new, and everyone knows that.PNEUMATIC TIRESPneumatic tires were actually invented before the automobile. In 1845 the Scotsman Robert Thomson improved the tradition wooden tire with a non-stretchable material covering a rubber inner tube filled with air. The tire was main purpose was for bicycles and to cut down the vibration and skidding of. Thomsons pneumatic tire, or Aerial Wheel, did provide a much smoother ride but didnt attract as much interest and was soon forgotten.The people of the time preferred wooden tires and after wooden tires they preferred steel tires. Finally, the wheels beneath the bicycles were solid rubber. This didnt solve the vibration problem, however. It wasnt until Scotsman John Boyd Dunlop found the solution on his sons tricycle. The ingredients used were rubber tubing, a one-way valve to prevent air from escaping, some rubber material, and tape. He connected the one-way valve to the rubber tubing, covered them with the rubber material, and taped it to the rear wheel of the tricycle.Dunlop, nave of the patent by Thomson, patented his pneumatic tire in 1888. Dunlop had greater success because of the increase in bicyclists. Dunlops tires became a standard for bicycles in the late 1800s. In 1890, Charles K. Welch of Tottenham patented an improvement to Dunlops design by fastening it to the rim of the tire by a wire Wrapped around the inside of the tire. Finally, in 1891, the Michelin brother, Edouard and Andr, invented a removable pneumatic tire so the bicycle driver could repair a flat rather than a mechanic.The Michelin brothers were the first to use the pneumatic tire on an automobile during the race of 1895 from Paris to Bordeaux. Soon the pneumatic tire made its appearance in America during the Chicago-Evanston race. Benjamin F....
