Origin of the name Cabtire 1

[russdee]

A co-worker asked me the origin of the term 'Cabtire' as it relates to flexible cord.
I couldn't give him an answer and it peaked my intrest.
Can anyone help?

Thanks.

Never heard of it.

Google is your friend, it's just cab and tyre are two separate words. There's plenty information about it, and the 'tire' variant too. Here's one for a start.

When searching I tried [blue]"cab tire" insulation[/blue] in Google.
