Abstract
Rubber Developments is a new illustrated quarterly, issued gratis by the British Rubber Development Board, Market Buildings, Mark Lane, London, E.C.3. The primary purpose of the journal is to direct attention to fresh or extended applications of the use of rubber, and it is addressed more to the potential user than to the manufacturer of rubber. The first number, consisting of 40 pages, contains articles on the rehabilitation of rubber estates in Malaya, liquid latex, engineering with rubber, and ‘‘Positex, as well as other features. It is interesting to note that there are now six pamphlets available describing ‘‘Positex and its applications to woollens, cotton, linen and other yarns, and felts, and also its use as a textile printing paste. The British Rubber Development Board is a non-profit-making organisation, deriving its funds from a cess on raw rubber exported from the British production areas. The Board works in association with corresponding units in France and Holland, the work being co-ordinated on an international basis by the International Rubber Development Committee, the area allocated to the British Board comprising the British Empire and the United States.
