A definite distance was chosen for a traverse on a straight, hard surface, gravelled road, in order to eliminate errors in excessive jumping or slipping of wheels caused by ruts, bumps, and soft dirt. The tire was then inflated to . 60 pounds pressure, the traverse made and readings taken at the various stations. The pressure was then reduced to 40 pounds and readings taken again at the same stations. This trial was repeated again to check up the readings.
