I believe S3 tires indicated synthetic rubber made during WW2. Growing up we always had 5 or 6 spare tires in the barn for the cars, wagons, trailers etc. One was a U.S. Royal 6:00x16 4 ply S3. My father claimed that was synthetic rubber. A side story. When my wife got her new '80 Chevy Citation, I started driving her '73 Ford Maverick to work. It had always been good on fuel economy but I decided to play with it. Original tires were 14". The 5 lug pattern and size was the same as the 16" tires and wheels still in the barn. Oh oh.

Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power.
