eon to Motorists The Prest-Air Power Bottle. A Real Trouble, Time 8 Labour Saver POWER BOTTtE IONC iSIANDCiTY t^-^T '■ 7 % A PRESS TRIBUTE. WHAT IT IS AND WHAT IT DOES. [Extract from one of many eulogistic newspaper reports .l A powerful tyre pump—without the labour of pumping; car jack that needs no lever action, but simply rises easily and smoothly—these are the properties of a new invention called the “PrestAir” Automobile Outfit. What would not any motorist give for any of these labour saving devices. The trouble of pumping a tyre, or lifting a wheel with a jack is now an obsolete method of dealing with tyre troubles. This is the result of the invention of the “Prest-Air ’ bottle—a steel cylinder about fourteen inches long which contains pure liquid carbon-dioxide that vapourizes on the oopening of the valve and rushes out at a pressure of up to 1000 lbs. to the square inch. A practical demonstration was given to a representative of this paper and a number of interested motorists, and the advantages of the appliance were readily appreciated. A special airjack (which is part of the equipment) was placed under a large motor truck. A “prest-air” bottle was attached, and with a slight turn of the wrist a small amount of “prest-air” was allowed into the jack. The result was that the axle was lifted easily and without human effort in a very few seconds. The jack could remain in that position for any length of time, there being no leakage whatever. It was simply released by opening a valve. The bottle was attached to a deflated lyre, and with the same magic turn it rose and teas as firm as ever it had been. Car-bon-dioxide has been proved to be a preservative of rubber, so a motorist is rather lengthening than shortening the life of his tube when he fills them from the ‘‘prest-air” . bottle. The equipment consists of two “prest-air” cylinders, and a “prestair” jack. A demonstration was also given to the members of the local Rotary Club, and they all expressed their surprise and pleasure at the work of the new invention.—“ Star.” PREST-AIR OUTFITS MAY BE BOUGHT AND CYLINDERS REFILLED AT ALL GARAGES.
