Checking fabric rolling off calendar. Through this calendaring machine, the heated cords are squeezed through warm rubber under terrific pressure which completely insulates each individual cord in its own sheath of rubber, and produces an extremely strong fabric of the weftless type. Close watch is kept to maintain uniform thickness and texture at all times. In front of the worker is the trough into which a fresh supply of special gum rubber is constantly being added. Firestone (General Tires), Akron, Ohio
