ENGINEERING WITH RUBBER Edited by WALTER K. BURTON 1919
FRONTISPIECE. Typical of rubbers diversified industrial application
is this Torsilastic rubber spring, which can be engineered to serve
as the suspension member for thou sands of industrial, commercial,
and automotive uses including stationary motors, industrial trucks,
office chairs, railroad coaches, passenger cars, trucks, buses,
airplane landing gear, farm implements, drilling equipment, seats
of all types, door hinges and springs, streetcars, motorcycles,
physical-exercising equipment, truck tail gates, wagons, bicycles,
and even built-in ironing boards and rocking chairs. Copyright,

When man sots out to build and market a new product a machine for
removing dents from automobile fenders, for example he may decide
that some rubber parts are needed. He finds it necessary,
therefore, to know some of the engineering, application, and design
principles involving rubber hose, gaskets, and molded pieces of
rubber. In looking about for information, he can pick up a helpful
fact here and there from manufacturers pamphlets, folders, and
booklets but sometimes he gets lost in a maze of words and
pictures. Perhaps he consults the engineering department of some
rubber manufacturer but, more likely than not, he goes ahead with
his designing, making what he thinks are the proper provisions for
whatever rubber parts he expects to include. Then, much too late,
he establishes contact with rubber technicians and learns that he
will have to make radical changes in design in order to take
advantage of theirrecommendations. To help eliminate this
confusion, the editor collaborated with The B. F. Goodrich Company,
Akron, Ohio, to gather material for a book dealing with industrial
rubber products and their application to industrial uses. This
volume is the result. It summarizes, in convenient form, much of
the miscellaneous information that was scattered through countless
folders, booklets, catalogue pages, price sheet - s, and the minds
of technicians. It provides basic information to start the reader
on the right track and to induce him, if he happens to be a product
designer, to consult with rubber men in the early blueprint stage
of a new product. In order to obtain a clear idea of what design
engineers and others would like to see in such a volume, an
extensive mail survey was conducted and manufacturers were visited
personally. Many of the ideas and suggestions that they contributed
have been included in this text. The book deals with specific
subjects, such as kinds of rubber and their properties, adhesives,
latex products, belting, hose, molded and extruded parts, coverings
and linings, gaskets, sponge rubber, hard rubber, and rubber
mountings. The more important American-made rubbers, formerly
classed as synthetic rubber, are included, as are some non rubber
materials such as plasticized polyvinyl chloride. The book contains
basic information on physical and chemical proper vi Preface ties
of various rubber compounds, structural details of industrial
rubber products, and typical dimensions. Because of the continuous,
rapid growth of rubber science and engineering, many of the precise
values in this book may be subject to modification from time to
time. It might seem that such a bookwould make it less necessary
for the potential user of industrial rubber to consult a rubber
technician or manufacturer for assistance in planning a new product
or application...
