The Breeze Manufacturing Co., Newark, New Jersey, has 

 published a catalog of its flexible metal hose, tubing and ac- 

 cessories, which contains a large amount of information, techni- 

 cal and commercial, of the manufacture, advantages and uses 

 of metal over rubber for certain purposes. It shows the con- 

 struction of its all-metal hose and tubing, and the method of 

 combining the imperviousness of rubber with the strength of 

 metal in the hose which contains both. In some of the latter, 

 the spiral metal is so formed that the continuous joint is 

 packed with rubber, in others a special rubber covers the metal 

 hose, and this in turn is covered with duck, with an outside 

 of woven cotton duck, while others have an inner tube of 

 rubber, surrounded by the spiral metal covering. There are 

 other forms, each pictured and described, as are .ilso a large 

 number of flexible shafts, couplings valves and accessories.
