The N. Y. B. & P. Co.'s Works on the
 Pootatuck River near Newtown.

The works of the New York Betting & Packing Company are located in one of the most charming situations to be found in New England, on the Pootatuck river. They are but a short distance from the quiet but pretty Connecticut village of Newtown and the drive pre- sents a scene of romantic beauty, the road winding through deep and narrow valley, at whose bottom flows the PoOta- tuck, while the banks are thickly wood ed, except where the gray cliffs stand out boldly from the glen. The factory, with it's outside workshops and store houses, occupies a small level space be- low the mill-pond, while there is a house for the superintendent and cottages for the workmen on the sloping hillside op- posite, the whole presenting d view of picturesque attractiveness seldom met with in a manufacturing village.
 The raw rubber used at the factory in cludes all the leading varieties, stacks of which are constantly kept on hand in the adjoining fire-proof storehouses, from whence It Is taken as required Tor use III the several specialties for which the diff fcrent varieties are deemed best suited. In all kinds of rubber, the first step in the manufacture is to cleanse it of all foreign matter, it being more or less mixed with dust, bark, leaves, chips and other eXtraneOus substances, which be- come incorporated with it through care lessness, or from the desire of the ma tives to add something to the weight in this way. The process of cleansing is slow and laborious and during the opera tion the rubber loses q material portion of it's weight, from about l2 or l5 per cent in the best qualities, up to as high as 10 per cent.in the cheapest kinds. It is first placed in large vat of hot water
The Newtown bee., 1888-05-04

The rubber is here rolled a great many times, some of it being finished in sheets and long strips pure, and some of it with the rubber, in successive operations, pressed upon web of heavy cotton duck, previously coated with rubber driven through and through it's meshes by pow erful machinery. The fabric used for this purpose is made expressly for this establishment, and has more than double the strength of the heavy cotton duck used for sails of ships. This duck thus combined with the rubber gives the belt ing and hose subsequently, made there from great tensile strength; and in hose, where the tests can be most accurately made by gauging the exact pressure to the square inch, the strength has been proven to be about twice that of the best leather hose.
 For belt making, the rubber-coated and impregnated duck is taken to q large de- partment where this branch of the busi- ness is carried on, and umolled upon tables one hundred feet long, where the workmen cut4it accurately to the requir- ed width. One strip is cut so that, fold ed, it will make the width of belt, and another, so that the wide strip will just
The Newtown bee., 1888-05-04

The rubber is placed ill a large rectan- gular vat, in water kept hot by steam pipes and. while here, is cut into small pieces by numerous sharp knives attached to re- volving shaft, the rubber, during the op- eration, undergoing something of q kneading and washing process quite like that employed in preparing the pulp for q paper mill. The water which the rub ber takes up in this treatment opens it's pores, so that in the crushing, grinding and tearing to which it is afterward sub jected, by being passed between plain faced and fiuted rollers, all of the me- chanical impurities are removed. A stream of water is kept constantly flow ing on the rubber while the rollers are etfecting the disintegrating process and the operation is continued for a longer or shorter period, according to the original condition of the rubber, until all extra neous substances have been removed and nothing but pure rubber is left.

fold over it's edges and meet in the mid dle, which makes a three-ply belt. In this way the strips are passed between series of powerful rollers, the tempera- ture of which is evenly regulated, as in all the other operations; the folding over at the sides makes an even and perfectly uniform half-round edge, and, at the middle, where the edges of the outside strip come together, narrow ribbon of rubber is fed to cover exactly the line of meeting. In this way the entire outside of the belt is pressed by the heated roll CTS into an even, regular surface, each different kind of belt showing the same form and weight for any number of feet and presenting none of the irregularities in surface and thickness so often seen in leather belting where copper rivets are plentifully used, and where the substance of the hide varies so widely.
 As the rubber surfaces, before being vulcanized, would stick together, they are rolled up with thickness of duck be- tween, and the belt-making machine has an attachment which takes up this fabric as the machine is fed.
 The thicknesses of the regular sizes of Continued on Fourth Page.)

is in the form of rough and broken-sur- faced sheets, and the different workings have somewhat agglomerated the mass, without effecting a thorough mastica- tion, process which is afterward pro- ceeded with where the articles to be man. ufactured herewith are to consist of pure, unvulcanized rubber. These sheets of thoroughly washed rubber form the starting point from which all the manu- featuring operations proceed, but they contain good deal of water and must first go to the steam-heated drying-room, where it will require from one to four months to thoroughly evaporate all the moisture they contain, without which the rubber would only be fit for inferior kinds of goods. The long delay neces- sary at this stage of the manufacture re- quires the keeping on hand at all times of an extensive stock of raw rubber i'll the washed and cured condition, ready for the subsequent operations.
 With the mixing process we come to branch of the business of prime im- portance i'll the production of all first class goods and this is also a part of the work where the opportunity is offered for the introduction of large quantities of the utterly valueless cheapening sub- stances so often incorporated with low grade rubber fabrics. The operation ot mixing simply consists in passing the rough sheets, whose preparation has
 been previously described, between roll

of rubber are taken to machines called crackers" invented for the purpose and having large, deeply-grooved iron cylin- ders which revolve in pairs and stretch and macerate the rubber in such way as to drive out much of the bark, dust and dirt it contains, leaving less to do at the washing which follows. The ma chine for the latter purpose is also espec- tally contrived for the work and the way understood from the engraving.
