Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of the said Invention for
"IMPROVEMENTS IN THE RUBBERS OR RUBBING BELTS FOR THE CONDENSERS OF
CARDING ENGINES" (to be as follows) :—
This Invention consists in constructing such rubbers of linen, cotton,
or other fabric, in a series of layers cemented together with a solution
of india-rubber or other cement formed by coiling or rolling the same
around a roller of suitable size, and the external surface may (or may

page_text: not) be coated with india-rubber which may (or may not) be vulcanized.
Also while in the soft state the surface may be indented by means of
wire gauze or a coarse woven fabric being impressed into it so as to
bite or adhere better to the slivers of fibre when rubbing them.
Rubbing belts thus constructed by coiling or winding the fabric around
a roller or drum with cement are then to be removed therefrom and
applied to the ordinary rollers employed for carrying rubbing belts as
heretofore.
