THE problem of silent machinery run
ming appears to have been brought a
step nearer solution by the introduc'
tion in Austria of cog-wheels made OF
pressed raw hide. which are to work in
conjunction with wheels of cast iron,
steel and other metals. The new
wheels possess great strength. They
do not require lubricating and are,
therefore, clean in operation. They
can be had ready made or in the form
of raw hide disks for shaping by the
purchaser. They are supported by a
wooden framework, and after being cut
the wheel is covered with shellsc So
