A Wave of Hysteria About Automobile Exhaust Dangers
The United States Public Health Service surveyed 250 air samples from 14 large cities with 19 million people. Results show average street exposure of 0.648 parts in 10 000 with only 24 percent above one part in 10 000, and higher levels mainly in garages. The report concludes real health hazard from city exhaust is minimal but warns against running cars in closed garages for extended periods.

Pneumatic tyre born from a boy's moonlit trial in Belfast
John Boyd Dunlop applied for the first pneumatic tyre forty years ago after a boyhood observation in Dreghorn Ayrshire led to a home made air filled tyre. He tested a tricycle with thin solid tyres in Belfast and challenged a racing cyclist to a race, winning at nine year old Johnny's hands on the wheel. Dunlop revolutionized cycling and early motor cars though he never learned to ride a bicycle himself.
