edges being pressed together, they unite so firmly as to hold with great tenacity,
 but to make the joint more firm, and of equal strength with the other portions, thin ribbon of rubber is pressed against it, and then the mandrel or cylinder is revolved against other cylinders, in which a powerful pressure and the requisite de gree of heat makes firm and compact the entire section of fabric which has been fitted around it. This mandrel or form ing cylinder remains in each length of hose until after the subsequent vuleaniz- ing process has been completed, but, to prevent the rubber sticking to it, the rub Der is coated with a powder, as soapstone
 or steatite, or some substance which will

The long lengths of belting which have to be prepared previous to going in to the machine have then to be carried forward into the vulcanizing heater and this operation must be continuous from the commencement until the VulcaniZing process is complete.

In the making of rubber hose, special care is taken in the first place in the se- lection of the best kinds of raw rubber for the particular description of goods to be manufactured, different mixtures be- ing used and the treatment varying i'll all the processes in order to obtain the exact condition and temper which will allow the rubber to be best applied to and incorporated with the duck, to give the greatest amount of strength. The lengths and widths required for the mak- ing of each piece of hose are cut from the long strips previously made ready Ill the calendering machine and then wrap ped around long cylinders or mandrels not tightly, but so that the freshly-cut edges of rubber willjust meet. The rub Der Is then in such condition that, on the

 or the latter is entirely imbedded therein,
 so that only a smooth rubber surface shall be presented outside and inside. this is effected by working the different layers successively, and then, as in other kinds of hose, subjecting each to power ful pressure by heated rollers before vul- canizing. Although the materials used are somewhat different and the working varies accordingly, this is substantially the way ill which all kinds of hose are made, from that of half an inch in diam eter to that which is ten inches. from the common garden hose to that made for the steam fire engine, which will stand a pressure of over 400 pounds tC

We have introduced an improvement of especial importance ill our belting manufacture, by which the ''stretch'' can be thoroughly taken out of the largest sized belt. This we are able to do by the aid of an immense steam press, the larg- est of the kind in the world. This press will take belt six feet wide and l5 feet of it's length at once; it weighs S5,000 pounds; the steam is let into the bed and platen so that the temperature can be readily regulated; the platen is station ary and the bed is lifted by hydraulic pressure. The most novel feature of this press, however,is that tis arranged with appliances at each end for stretching the belts, so that, while the belt is un-

der the full tension of the heaviest strain it may be desired to put upon it, it may at the same time be compressed between the hot plates, and thus set it's flores as firmly as a bar of steel. 1t does not seem very likely that an engineer would ever be troubled with having to ''talle up" a belt whose 'sstretch" had been taken out in this way. We own the patent for this stretcher in combination with the press, as well as many other patents of great importance in the business. The princi- pal Goodyear patent on vulcanlzin@ eN- pired ill 1865. but we had then been many years manufacturing and had obtained subsequent patents for improvements, some of which are of great value Tn the production of our staple goods.

Tube making covers the production of great variety of goods, and tubes are made either of pure rubber or with cloth insertion. Their manufacture proceeds on substantially the same principles as the hose making, except that from their small diameter they are, after being formed on the mandrel, rolled and finish ed for the vulcanizing by hand, as shown in the engraving. Where the square packing is made ready for vulcaniZing. the rubber is furnished in sheets and plates of different sizes and shapes for regular articles, either pure or with cloth insertion, but where irregular shapes and forms are wanted, which cannot be cut out of the standard products, they must be made in moulds. not cast. as many been prepared by mixing and otherwise, as in the other operations. must be press ed into the moulds. In this way the cor rugated mating, stair pads, car springs, etc., are made. The demand for this l packing in steam work, to pack around piston rods, and wherever there is q joint where the metal is subjected to different degrees of temperature in valves, etc., is enormous, and only an engineer who has had experience with the materials for merly used for this purpose can fully re, alize it's value for such use.
