"I am trying hard to be my own mechanic, though, and I have set my mind on changing those plugs myself to-morrow morning." "You are your own chauffeur, then, Miss Abbeway?" her inquisitor asked. "Absolutely." "You can change a wheel, perhaps?" "Theoretically I can, but as a matter of fact I have never had to do it." "Your tyres," Colonel Henderson continued, "are of somewhat unusual pattern."
I looked at it as any man will who's got sand in him. It was a fight. There was no fighting in Victoria Street; it was simply riding through life on rubber tyres. "I don't suppose any of you people have ever heard of Port Duluth. I certainly hadn't.
To-day I hate London so that I could tear it into pieces like a rag." "You ought to start your 'bus on the search for the happy shore," said Mr. Russell. "You'd find the track of my tyres before you. I b'lieve you'd find the place." "Well, that would be the only perfect Service," said Jay. "But I don't believe the public would use the route much.
The bicycles were brought round, and the four went gaily out of the front door to light lamps and see to suspiciously slack tyres.
Yesterday I heard a man a man in a responsible position say to a girl, "Tell me, please, how far we are from the firing-line." It was one of the most remarkable speeches I ever heard. I go to these girls for all my news. Lady Dorothy Fielding is our real commander, and everyone knows it. One hears on all sides, "Lady Dorothy, can you get us tyres for the ambulances? Where is the petrol?"
The road was still muddy, and the track of the tyres, which were of somewhat peculiar pattern, clearly visible. He followed it along the road for a matter of a mile and a half. Then he came to a standstill before a plain oak gate and was conscious of a distinct shock. On the top bar of the gate was painted in white letters.
Frequently in that street was to be seen the appalling spectacle of the ten-year-old son of the refined and fashionable Trafaim dragging along a cart constructed of a sugar box and an old pair of perambulator wheels with no tyres, in which reposed the plebeian Frankie Owen, armed with a whip, and the dowdy daughter of a barber's clerk: while the nine-year-old heir of the coal merchant rushed up behind...
One of the wheels was loose and askew on the axle, with the result that it made a wobbly mark on the ground, while the tyres on all the wheels were uneven in width and badly worn. "Almost as ancient as old Dudgeon's rattle-trap," Durham said to himself as he looked at the marks.
"Oh, those are possibly minor flaws which could be remedied." "Well, go and remedy them and leave me to my work. Or pin your faith on substantialities instead of flights of fancy." I went up to London, my mind full of a thousand problems. I had caught the economical British habit of using the trains, conserving the petrol and tyres on my car.
As an inventor he was of the front rank. He also invented fabrics for pneumatic tyres and fire-hose. James P. Lee, born in Roxburghshire in 1837, was inventor of the Lee magazine gun which was adopted by the United States Navy in 1895. His first weapon was a breech-loading rifle which was adopted by the United States Government during the Civil War.
