Three Pioneering along lines entirely new in the rubber industry—and 1 after five years of scientific development both in America and on tne Company s plantations in the Far East—the United States Rubber Company now presents three new major and basic contributions to the art of rubber manufacture. 1 - THE NEW SPRAYED RUBBER for use in the manufacture of all rubber products* 2- THE NEW WEB CORD of specific application to the art of cora tyre making. OF BUILDING A 3 - THE NEW FLAT BAND PROCESS CORD TYRE Ensuring for the first time a uniform tyre, equalised through and through in resiliency and resistance to puncture and wear. It is frankly conceded by the entire rubber . industry that these three basic 'discoveries date a chapter in rubber manufacture, so new as to be almost revolutionary. WHAT IS SPRAYED ROBBER? i Sprayed Rubber is the result of a new method of obtaining crude rubber from latex, the milky liquid which flows from a rubber tree when it is tapped. Instead of coagulating rubber out of the latex with smoke or chemicals—the only method known heretofore—the ■ latex is sprayed ' as: a snow-white mist into superheated air. The water is driven out of else. The puro rubber solids which remain contain every natural property ofrubber, including many valuable properties formerly destroyed or impaired by the old method of treating latex. Sprayed Rubber is the first pure rubber. It is. uniform in quality -an impossibility with the former processes. It is dry and remains so. It vulcanises to perfection. Sprayed Rubber ensures finer quality and longer service m manufactured rubber goods of every type and description. It is believed that this development means.more to the rubber industry than anything that has been accomplished since the discovery of vulcanisation m 1839 ‘ IMPROVED CORD PROCESS. The new Web Cord is the result of a discovery that rubber latex bas a strong natural affinity for cotton • cord." Thenew Web Cord produces ; the first true rubber-webbed cord tyre. " - It is the most substantial step in friction elimination since the - old square woven fabric gave way to cord construction. Each cord in the fabric is impregnated through and through, kind surrounded, with natural rubber direct from the pure rubbor latex. AH cross tie-threads are done away with. No chemical solutions of rubber are used. It is believed that Web Cord makes, trie most homogeneous cord tyro yet manufactured, and as a result, the strongest, most elastic, and longest wear--ID g‘ BUILDING A BALANCED TYRE. The Flat-Band Process of building, a cord tyre ensures scientific precision for the first time. Each cord of the 19,000 individual cords in a 35 x 5 Royal Cord . Tyre for nstance is now uniform in length, uniform in angle, uniform m tension. This means a balanced tyre in which every part does its proportionate share of the vork. There are no weak spots. Wear is uniform and gradual—with a high resistance to puncture. I „ qWt these three basic discoveries present what amounts to a 1 new and iner art in rubber manufacture. They are the exclusive property of the United States Rubber Company—fully protectedby patents in the United States and foreign countries THE ABOVE CORDS ARE OBTAINABLE FROM THE STAFFORD STREET TSMARU.
