| Notes: | Opuscular source: Letter from David Bridge & Co, Castleton Ironworks, Manchester, March 3rd, 1909 to Keeper). We enclose herewith our Section K Catalogue with various leaflets, reprints, etc. respecting our machinery used on the rubber plantations, and, on pages 32 and 33 you will find descriptions and illustrations of Da Costas Patent System of Rubber Coagulation. Here is a small piece of Brasilian Rubber done at our works in his presence a few weeks ago. We infuse steam and smoke into the latex - in, 10 mins we do as much latex as takes a rubber gatherer up to Amazon a week to coagulate. | ||||
