Manufacture of Rubber STAMPS.

a rubber stamp requires very little of
the gum, yet the journal of Useful In
vention states that one firm in New
York buys one thousand pounds an
nually. There are, says that Journal,
ruIbcr stamp concerns everywhere, and
the consumption must be very large.
Vexr good rubber is used, and few man
nfacturcrs suit tho stamp maker. a
firm surface is necessary, and to obtain
this the compromising must be exact for
the purpose. Then the heat for vulcan
izing is u matter of importance. Steam
heat is considered best, for dry heat is
apt to scorch and spoil the stamp.
Great care is used, SO that the rubber
will not get too hard or glazed, which is
fatal to good work. The best manu-
facturcrs use machines which are the
molds and vulcanizers combined,
Every thing has to be true, and little
vibration in the platens is permitted.
A thermometer attached to the ma
chine determines the right heat Small
establishments are not SO particular,
and poor work is the result. The
slower the inflammation the greater
the feasibility. Some makers rush mat
ters, curing the rubber in six minutes.
Such stamps will become rs hard rs an
clectrotypc in month"; when they arc
useless.
