A MOTOR DRIVEN ERASER. 



IN a former issue of The Iniua Riuhek WoRi.n (September i, 

 1905 — page 412) space was given to an improvised mechanical 

 device for operating a rubber eraser in the case of work — 

 such as engineering plans — on which a great deal of erasing is 

 to be done. As indicating that a real want exists in engineer- 

 ing offices for something of this kind, we are able now to record 

 that a motor driven eraser, which is here illustrated, has been 

 placed upon the market. Draftsmen know that erasing with a 

 very light fast motion will remove lines without a scratch, but 

 all of them have not the patience to do this, and the result is a

marred drawing or tracing. Often it is necessary to make many 

 corrections in a drawing, and besides being very tedious, much 

 time is consumed. By the use of a motor connected to the 

 eraser by a flexible shaft, the corrections can be made quickly 

 and neatly. The motor usually is placed near the edge of the 

 table, but may be moved from one table to another. The eraser 

 shown in the illustration is connected to a small Westinghouse 

 motor, fitted with Coates unit link flexible shaft. The motors are 

 wound for either direct or alternating current. [Coates Clipper

THE GLASEPTIC NEBULIZER. 



The Glaseptic nebulizer, with the exception of the rubber tube 

 and Iiulli, is constructed entirely of glass, and therefore can be 

 used with every description of liquid in the treatment of nasal 



aft'ections or of the tharnyx 

 and larynx — with solutions 

 of any density, whether 

 ethereal, spirituous, oily, or 

 aqueous : with concentrated 

 saline solutions or with viscid 

 preparations. The use of 

 glass parts is intended to ob-

or corrosion, and to render 

 it easily cleaned. Of course 

 the rubber bulb is one of the essential features of the device, 

 for which reason space is given it in these pages. The cut shovi'S

HARTFORD HOOD ANTI-RATTLER. 



The average automobile owner has noticed the rattling of the 

 hood on his car, and while it is but a little thing and does not 

 reflect on the construction or durability of the machine, it is 

 nevertheless annoying to the driver to constantly hear it. To 

 obviate this many owners have placed a strap across the top of 

 the hood, fastening it as tightly as possible to prevent shaking. 



The Hartford Hood Anti-Rattler goes a bit further. It is a 

 strip of flexible rubber about a foot in length, 2 inches in width 

 and l-i inch thick, slotted at either end. When placed over the 

 center of the hood, the ends of the leather straps are drawn 

 through the openings in the rubber strip at either end. and then

buckled down tirmly on tlie side of the hood. This not only holds 

 the hood in place positively, but, on account of the elasticity of 

 the rubber, takes up whatever vibration there may be and also 

 deadens the noise. This article is neatly lettered with the word 

 "Hartford" and the winged wheel trade mark of the company. It 

 is made of good rubber dead black in color, and will not bloom 

 with age. Patents have been applied for. [Hartford Rubber 

 Works Co.. Hartford. Connecticut.] 



COVERS RUBBER GOGGLE. 



This article is referred to as being protected by patents which 

 cover the whole rubber goggle, comprising the constrictively held 



lenses, the elastic tubes in 

 the outer ends of which 

 the lenses are supported, 

 the flesh pads about the 

 eyes of the inner ends of 

 the tubes, the reinforce- 

 ment at the ends of the 

 flesh pads and between the 

 eye tubes, and other fea- 

 tures. These goggles are all rubber, except the glasses, and are 

 adjustable to any face. They are dustproof, rainproof, sanitary, 

 and neat in appearance. Tlie most recent patent relating to this 

 article was issued June 16. 1908. [H. S. Cover, South Bend, 

 Indiana.] 



the -grip FAST" SHIRT WAIST BELT. 



One of the smaller articles in the line of notions in wliich the 

 use of rubber is involved, but one which has come into wide 

 use, and with great com- 

 fort and convenience to the 

 wearer, is the ladies shirt- 

 waist belt illustrated in the 

 margin. The belt is made 

 of lisle web, adjustable in 

 length. A distinctive fea- 

 ture of the article is the
