In the era(late '50's or early 60's) we bought a
machine to fill this powder in tires. The first
thing we had to do was put a larger diameter
valve core on the tube. Then use this gadget to
pump the powder in. The advantages were: The wt.
was twice as much as liquid and it was non
corrosive. This gadget(a tank and a pump using
air pressure) would also draw the powder out of
the tube. The performance of a tractor was really
good. When the company service man came(on Christmas eve day)the poor man had so much trouble. He worked on it most of the day. All of
a sudden he said"I got it" and put the pressure to it. It made a puff and the salesman had powder
behind his glasses and we had powder on our shop
ceiling, still in that building today. We all
missed most of Christmas eve.
