Progress report on nature of cord fatigue, carried out by Fabric Research Laboratories, Dedham, Mass; study deals with properties of cords and filaments removed from tires run on New York taxi fleet; emphasis was on Tyrex viscose cord, but nylon was included; results indicate that there is initial loss of cord strength of 10-15% within first 20,000 mi, followed by period of gradually diminishing strength; while there is trend for small loss in fiber strength with mileage, it is not correlative with cord strength losses.
