Opis

Excerpt from Indiarubber and Pneumatic Tyre Factories In the first place, I wish to express to our esteemed secretary and the office-bearers generally my thanks for the privilege of reading this paper before you. Prior to taking up the subject at the request of the former gentleman, my ignorance of it was simply colossal, whatever it may be now, and therefore, whether or not anything that may be said to-night gives information to the hearers of it, it is certain that one person has derived benefit by the acquirement of the knowledge, little though it may be, necessary for the writing of even the baldest and worst possible paper on a subject even now of very great interest and likely to be of even more interest from a commercial point of view as time goes on. As far as I am aware, this is the first paper dealing with the manufacture of rubber in its fire insurance aspects, and I intend, therefore, to take the liberty of making it, as far as I can, exhaustive, even at the risk of being exhausting, and begin by dealing first with the substance itself. Indiarubber, or caoutchouc, is the dried coagulated milky juice of various trees and shrubs belonging to the natural orders Euphorbiaceć, Moraceć, Artocarpaceć, Apocynaceć, Ulmaceć, and Asclepiadeć, but there is an appreciable difference between the products of even species of the same order not only in regard to quantity but in quality as well; the quantity of commercial indiarubber depending not solely upon the plant producing it, as many other determining causes may intervene to increase or diminish the yield of the "latex," as the juice is called when it flows from the tree.
