Demonstrations carried out by Michelin et Cie, of Clermont-Ferrand; use of pneumatic tires claimed to be advantageous for reason that coefficient of friction of rubber on steel is such as to allow weight of vehicle to be reduced considerably; tire is of special form; deflation of tire in event of puncture is prevented by wooden hoop on outer half of tire between cover and tube; wear is about 1 mm. for 10,000 km.; coach is really motor omnibus on rails and is handled in same way.
