THE INDIA-RUBBER JOURNAL 5 satos Trade Items Asbestos is employed in the construction r r i of flexible tubing for petrol, made according pL 4-0' t0 Patent No. 376,111, recently granted to H. O. N. Shaw, 112, Wardour Street, __ a London, and Petro-Flex Tubing Co., Ltd., EfcL-.-f'C St. Albans Road, Watford. The tube Rafter comprises a lining c of one or more layers of animal gut or intestine, wrapped or drawn over an internal helical wire armouring b, a covering d of asbestos yam closely woven or braided upon the said lining, an armouring e of helically-wound wire over the asbestos, and a smooth, outer covering f of wpven or braided tinned copper wire. The wires b, e, which may also be of tinned copper, are preferably arranged so that the coils of one alternate with thp coils of the other and cause intimate contact between the asbestos covering d and the gut lining c. The tube may be formed upon a mandrel a, and the gut is preferably used in a wet condition being treated with glycerine. tuberculosis. Of the nine females with active tuberculosis, one had worked for three months picking up bobbins where she was not exposed to dust; then she had discontinued work for 18 months, and returned for a further three months to spinning and weaving. One had had 15 months' exposure, and the remaining seven periods varying from 4 to 13 years. The male patient had had seven years' exposure. * * * * * 'Jhe authors suggest that since eight of the total 39 cases of females with pulmonary asbestosis were young girls between the ages of 18 and 21, and since it is well known that adolescent and young adult females are specially susceptible to pulmonary tuberculosis, any occupation which exposes the lungs to risk of damage at this period of life is undesirable. Draft Regulations have now been issued by the Home Office excluding " young persons " (i.e., those under 18 years of age) from the industry.
