Tire recapping. "Cooking" a recapped passenger car tire in a curing mold. The recap is made by applying passenger type reclaimed camelback to a worn casing on which the tread surface had previously been ground down evenly. The plan to recap passenger tires with reclaimed rubber camelback, approved by rubber director William M. Jeffers, was put into effect in February 1943 to reduce the demand for replacement tires and still keep civilian cars in service
