GENERAL BAKELITE CO. STARTS INFRINGEMENT SUITS. 



The General I'akclite Co. has brought suits for infringements 

 of its Bakelite patents against the Condensite Co. of America 

 and several users of "Condensite," among them the Dickinson 

 Manufacturing Co.. of Springfield. Massachusetts ; The Duranoid 

 Mfg. Co., of Newark, and Hardman & Wriglit, of Belleville, 

 New Jersey. 



""PHE revised design of the Akron-Williams Tire Vulcanizing 

 * Press, which is proving very pojiular for the curing of 



automobile tires at the present time, has a number of valuable 



improvements. As the 

 expert will discover by 

 the examination of the 

 cross-section diagram 

 which is here shown, 

 the unusually long 

 ram-bearings notice- 

 able in this diagram 

 insure its exerting 

 pressure at right angles 

 to the press lid, be- 

 tween w-hich and the 

 ram cap the mold? are 

 squeezed during the 

 process. Even a slight 

 amount of play in these 

 bearings will permit 

 the ram to slant con- 

 siderably when fully 

 extended and may 

 leave the molds open a 

 little on one side or the 

 other. The design ob- 

 viates this trouble. 



In the ordinary con- 

 struction the packing 

 gland for the hydraulic 

 ram is placed in the 

 bottom of the vulcaniz- 

 ing chamber. It is 

 difficult to re-pack this 

 gland on account of its 

 position. The condi- 

 tion of the packing 

 cannot be determined 

 while a cure is in 

 process. --N. slight 

 leakage through the 



hydraulic packing will permit cold water to enter the vulcanizing 



chamber, reducing the efficiency and uniformity of the cure. 

 The new design effectually overcomes this difficulty.
