Tire recapping. Recapping a worn passenger car tire. Reclaimed camelback rubber is applied after the old tread surface of the tire has been ground down evenly and coated with rubber adhesive. 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
