Automobile tires after assembly on a drum are shaped to size and then vulcanized in engraved steel molds. The molds are stacked one on top of the other in vertical pot heaters, and steam is admitted to the closed heater. An air bag resembling an inner tube is inserted in the unvulcanized casing. Air, steam, hot water, or combinations of these are introduced into the air bag by flexible connections of copper tubing, expanding the tire carcass and causing the rubber to flow into the design of the mold. 2, record 3, English, - airbag
