THE INDIA RUBBER WORLD 



[October 1, 1912. 



When Goodyear received his famous cross he was temporarily 

 sojourning in prison for debt; for while a more honest man 

 never lived, his constant pursuit of new rubber triumphs kept 

 him in perennial financial straits. There are other priceless 

 relics also at this exhibit, all of which were kindly put in the 

 temporary possession of Thk Inui.v Rlbber Wori.u liy the 

 Goodj-ear family. 



In addition to these extremely interesting articles, there are 

 several exhibits at this booth that could be duplicated else- 

 where, but are not likely to be at this particular show. They 

 were secured by the editor of the paper during his sojourn 

 last winter in the rubber-growing countries of Soutli .-Vmerica, 

 and particularly in Wnezuela. They consist of a number of 

 unique designs made from rubber, as, for instance, a miniature 

 rubber tree with a diminutive man tapping, it, and various ani- 

 mals, insects and reptiles molded out of balata or gutta-percha. 

 Taking it all-in-all this booth is likely to be voted a ^ery in- 

 teresting one — not only by rubber men, hut by tlie casual 

 visitor. 



THE M.WHATT.W RUP.KKR M.\NCF.\CTURIXG CO. 



The Manhattan Rubber Manufacturing Co., manufacturers of 

 mechanical rubber goods with factories, warcliouses and executive 

 offices at Passaic, N. J., show their product at the Rubber Expo- 

 sition. The president of this company is Col. Arthur F. Town- 

 send, and its vice-president, Elliot Henderson. Both of these 

 gentlemen will devote more or less time to the company's exhibit. 



The Manhattan Rubber Manufacturing Co. makes a good dis- 

 play of belting, emery wheels and all kinds of rubber hose ; but 

 what particularly attracts the visitor is the circular loom busy 

 at w'ork weaving hose. 



r.XKKKI. FOUXDUY & MACHIXE COMPANY. 

 Tlie makers of rubber machinery are making a line display 

 of the products of their plants. Some of the machines arc sup- 

 plied with power and can be seen at work. .Among the con- 

 spicuoiis dis|)lays of ruliber machinery is that of the Farrel 

 Foundry iK: Machine Co., which consists of an 8" x 16" motor- 



connections so tliat suitalile temperature may be obtained: 

 whereas the washer rolls are solid, the machine being piped 

 for washing the rubber. Both the mill and the washer run at 

 a speed of 30 r. p. m., and the calender at about 15 r. p. m. 



Such an outfit as the above is extensively used in the labora- 

 tories for experimental work, and has been found to work very 

 successfully for this purpose. These machines show on a small 

 scale the standard milling equipment used in the manufacture 

 of ruliber goods, and are miniatures of the company's larger 

 machines in every respect. 



TIIF. TURNER, VAUGHN & TAYLOR CO. 



Turner, \'auglin & Taylor Co., Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, are 

 exhibiting an experimcnl,-il outfit for vulcanizing rubber goods, 

 which is complete and will be in operation at the exposition. 

 They are reiiresented by L. .\. \ aughn and M. A. Pearson. 

 The outfit, includes three machines, a w;isher, a mixing mill 

 and a calender. The washer is a 6 x 12 inch "Vaughn" with 

 chilled iron rolls, one corrugated and one with an ordinary 

 smooth tool finish. 1 he mixing mill is also a 6 x 12 inch 

 "X'aughn." with chilled in in rolls, having faces ground and 

 polished. On this machine is demonstrated the quick-removable 

 adjusting screw and nut — ,in exclusive feature on these mills. 

 Both the washer and the mixing mill have automatic guides, 

 gear guards and all brass journals. The calender is an 8 x 14 

 inch three-roll "Vaughn." with chilled iron rolls, having faces 

 ground and polished. 



In addition to the machines described above, the fact might 

 be mentioned that the line shaft is dri\en by an electric motor 

 tbrinn.h a pair of cut herringbone gears and a patented multiple 

 band clutch. 



THE .\DAMSOX M.vmiXE CO. 



The exhibit of the Adamson Machine Co.. of Akron, Ohio, em- 

 liraces a comprehensive line of automobile tires, molds, cores, 

 models, prints and photographs. The head of this company is 

 Alexander Adamson, recognized as a rubber machinery expert, 

 whose newly erected plant at Akron, Ohio, is regarded as one 



E.VllilJIT OF THE I''.\RKLI. Fol :.\DKV i. M.\CHI.NE Co. 



driven experimental outfit, mounted on a continuous bedplate, 

 made up of a washer, null and calender, as shown in the above 

 cut. 



The washer has corrugated rolls, with 6-\' cuts to the inch. 

 The washer and mill are equipped with automatic guides and 

 with their patented coil clutch, type G, which gives an instan- 

 taneous release and picks up the load without shock. The 

 calender and mill have bored rolls, and are fitted up with steam 



of the most completely equipped of its kind in the country. This 

 is exhibit No. 16. 



THE UNITED SHOE MACHINERY CO. 

 Exhibit No. 19 is that of the United Shoe Machinery Co., which 

 concern practically controls the shoe machinery interests of this 

 country. They are making an exceedingly interesting exhibit of 

 their various machines, some of which art adapted for certain 

 classes of rubber manufacture.
