INGREDIENTS — Here The new “Liberty Rubberi’ is made of materials of which there is an inexhaustible supply ready at hand. Dr. Waldo L. Semon explain ed. Dr Semon is the director of the Goodrich laboratories and with hiS assistants discovered the process of making “Ameripol.” The basic raw material is ordinary petroleum, he said. By a “cracking” process this is broken down to a mixture of mole cules, from which a gas is extracted. Putting the gas vmder pressure gives a substance known as “butadiene.” Anyone can do it. After you’ve got your butadiene you mix it with Ingredients obtained from natural gas and air, add soap and you have a milky emulsion. Heat teat and ahake ~it well end the result fe some thing teat looks like tee latex, or liquid rubber, obtained from rubber trees. It acts like it, too. In fact, for all practical purposes, it is real rubber, readily changed into sheet rubber for converting into tires. It sounds simple, as all new things do after they’ve once been produced. But tee toil and skill and scientific knowledge/and money that it took to make this new discovery and prove its worth are just another example of tee difficulties pioneers face.

In peace times we use nearly 600 thous and tons of rubber, 70 percent for tires. Modem motorized military equipment, such as we are preparing to (MToduce, will call for a great deal more.
