Abstract
FROM recent announcements in the press it would appear that some considerable changes are likely to take place in the technology of rubber as the outcome of patented developments in the process of rubber electro-deposition. So promising have been the results obtained that the American rights in the various patents concerned have been transferred from their original owners, the Anode Rubber Co. of Great Britain, the B. F. Goodrich Rubber Co., and the Eastman Kodak Co., to a new company called the American Anode, Inc., for independent exploitation. The British rights, it is understood, have just been acquired by the Dunlop Rubber Co. and its associated concerns. It is perhaps too soon yet to estimate the commercial value of the whole process, for it can only be regarded as emerging from the experimental stage; but the fact that strong financial support is already forthcoming furnishes presumptive evidence of its value.
