No, it wasn't a bubble type, it was a spin balancer. We had different size cones the fit the center hole, then the rim would go on, then a cup that was attached to the big "wing-nut" that held the tire in place.
We had maybe 5 different size cones, and sometimes I know we doubled up cones and or would take the cup off the retaining nut.
His were the only honeycombs I ever did, but never had him complain about the balance. Maybe his centers were good and I just lucked out.
