H. Fay, Massachusetts Institute of Technology. 

 W. C. Geer, The B. F. Goodrich Co., 

 H. B. Rodman, Pennsylvania Railroad, 



D. A. Cutler, Rubber Goods Manufacturing Co. 



It was also decided that the General Rubber Consideration 

 Committee would ask all the members of the Section to submit 

 the best method for analyzing rubber goods that is known to 

 them today; that the committee would then select the best 

 method and submit this to the American Chemical Society, 

 asking the society to publish it as the best method known at the 

 present time. The Analytical Committee will in the meantime 

 and in the future attempt, by research and such other methods 

 as it may select, to revise this adopted method from time to 

 time, as may seem best for the interests of the Rubber Section ; 

 the object being that any chemists in the country who may 

 have occasion to analyze rubber goods, may have an authorized 

 standard method to proceed with their work. 



When this has been accomplished there should not be, as 

 appears to be today, such a variance in the results reported 

 from different chemists who analyze vulcanized rubber products. 

 The Section hopes to have this accomplished so that it may be 

 announced at the coming International Conference in September.
