Abstract: A work machine tire includes an annular body of elastomeric material that includes a middle radial region. A plurality of unpressurized cavities are defined by the middle radial region and are distributed in a pattern that includes a first radial band of cavities and a second radial band of cavities. Each cavity of the first radial band of cavities is oriented at a positive angle with respect to a radius therethrough, and each cavity of the second radial band of cavities is oriented at a negative angle with respect to a radius therethrough. A material volume of the middle radial region is more than one and a half times greater than the combined void volume of the plurality of cavities.

Abstract: An electrical control system for a paving machine uses a linear actuator to control the speed of an internal combustion engine between a low idle condition, a full speed condition and an economy speed condition. The control system includes electrical circuits responsive to the activated or deactivated condition of propulsion system on the machine, the activated or deactivated condition of work implement systems on the machine and an operator selected activation switch on the machine.

Abstract: A movable instrument console for an asphalt paving machine includes a hollow instrument body movable back and forth along support rails extending widthwise of the machine and a brake shoe locking mechanism for locking the instrument console in place, and for unlocking it for movement to either side of the paving machine.
