| Description: | Puncture proof tires at Herne Hill. Herne Hill, London. Several shots of cars with special puncture-proof tires driving over bits of wood with several nails sticking out of them - the tires are unaffected! A young boy holds onto a tire while a man hammers nails into it and pulls one of them out. A tire is bounced on the ground. Commentator explains that a new kind of liquid is inside the tube that automatically seals up any puncture the moment it is made. Various shots of the liquid being pumped into bicycle and car tires; '- locfuite' (?) is written on one of the liquid containers. | |
