Item description from seller

12mo. [6 pp (unpaginated).] triptych, printed in blue, w/ photo illustrations, woodcut borders, w/ self-printed softcovers (minor soiling, minor edgewear), still VG copy. First edition of this very scarce promotional pamphlet touting the Firestone Demountable Rim, a demountable wheel rim which allowed a flat tire to be unbolted and replaced by another that already had the spare tire mounted. This was the prototype of the famed Ford "wide five" wheel pattern that would last for decades. Photo illustration on the back cover shows a Locomobile winning the Founders' Week Cup in Philadelphia, Oct. 10, 1908 on Firestone Demountable Rims.
