Says one of them; “Long chain nature of the basic cellulose molecules is unim paired and, consequently, it is able to withstand the extreme heat and shocks of heavy duty usage. The un altered long-chaln cellulose mole cules prevent the plastic flow effects and also lessen the danger from cord brittleness when the tire becomes hot.” Who woud have imagined that our old stand by, cotton, would be treat ed to all that flow of words? j This is the age of the chemist andj ! the man of physics.
