Japanese mechanics adapt themselves

a substance with the paper which.
when heated, united it into a solid

the fact that common sawdust and
leather chips and shavings produced a
much stronger spool. The ordinary
large 12,000-yard spools are made in
four pieces, the heads being solid and
the barrel being divided in halves
