Hey, Old: Those little oval shaped patches came in a flat, oval shaped, tin holder, if thats the kind you have. The process went like this:
First: Rough up the inner tube where the hole is. Use a rough file, coarse sand-paper, or a sharp file. Clean tube with lacquer thinner where the roughed up place is, and allow to dry. If the kit you got came with rubber cement,(some didn't) use some over the hole area and out past the edges of the tin part.Hang the tube on the part that has the curved plate, and under the screw-down clamp. Insert the tin piece center it over the hole, with the patch on it, and screw down the clamp tightly. There should be indents where the legs of the clamp go.
When all is ready, light the material in the upper part of the tin part with a match, and allow it to burn out. This vulcanizes the patch to the tube! Remove the clamp, the tin part, allow to cool and yer inner tube is patched!
As for tires, they used to sell a reddish colored piece that looked like the inside of a tire. It usually had glue on one side, covered by a piece of cellophane. You would clean the inside of the tire with laquer thinner, or something suitable. Peel off the cellophane and carefully isert the patch inside the tire over the damaged area. Allow to dry, and put it back together. You could also buy an inner liner that covered the whole inside of the tire. There were tire shops that would vulcanize, with heat, a patch into a tire, or repair it some other way, but not all repairs lasted very long. I don't know how things are now-been out of that business for many years.
Remember--those fixes i described were back in the days of inner tubes! We had no ideas about tubeless tires back then. Except bicycle tires.
