Perhaps the most frequently used counterbalanced grooving comprises a continuous circumferential groove having the alternate helical and parallel sections machined on tire p。•riphcry of the core in a continuous grooving operation。 However, it is difficult and expensive to ma- chine this continuous combined helical and parallel groovc on tire drum core, and at present it is necessary to install a specially designed Geneva gearing attachment to a lathe in order to properly machine the groove on  the  di um。 This lathe operation is not applicable to the larger sized drum, and as a result, a special attachment  must  be utilized with a vertical milllng machine to ef bciently groove the larger drums。 These  are  expensive  opera- tions, and it is desirable to provide the  combined helical and parallel grooving on the periphery of the drum core without the necessity of the special machine attachments。 The present invention contemplates a novel method of providing the Le Bus counterbalanced grooving  on  the core of a drum in a manner whereby the overall cost thereof is reduced to a minimum。 The novel  groove method comprises the grooving o:I a cylindrical  sleeve with a plurality of parallel grooves, which may be accom- plished in any well known manner, such as with the usual lathe, or usual milling machine,  depending upon  the size of the drum diameter。 The parallel grooved sleeve is then cut in such a manner whereby the arcuate or semi-cylin- drical portions may be severed from the  grooved sleeve and arranged on the outer periphery of the drum core to provide the continuous combined helical and parallel groo-ves。 The segments of the sleeve or “master cylinder” may be bolted or welded to the outer periphery  of  the drum  core。   Of  course, there  are relatively  few segments

to be secured to the drum core, and the attachment thereof requires relatively little time and efl‘ort as compared to the assembly of the plurality of  inpidual  groove  bars, and tlae like。 In addition, the alignment of the relatively few segments is a simple  manner。  The  parallel  grooved sleeve  may  be  cut  in  a  variety  of  patterns  to  provide a
