EDITORS COMMENTS
This fascinating print from 1907 provides a rare glimpse into the process of transforming rubber tree seeds into finished motor tyres. The image captures the sprawling plantation where the raw material is produced for the Dunlop Tyres factory, showcasing rows of towering rubber trees under the tropical sun.
In this pictorial account, we see workers diligently harvesting and processing the rubber in various stages, from pressing and stretching to moulding it into shape. The interior of the factory reveals a hive of activity as skilled laborers meticulously work on each tyre with precision and care.
The methodical drying process is also depicted, highlighting the meticulous attention to detail required in producing high-quality tyres for vehicles. Tamil coolies and kangani can be seen working together seamlessly, demonstrating teamwork and efficiency in this crucial stage of production.
As we observe this snapshot from over a century ago, we are reminded of the ingenuity and craftsmanship that went into creating essential components for early motorcars. This historical document serves as a testament to human innovation and dedication in advancing technology within the motoring industry during that era.
