Harper's Encyclopedia of United States History (ed. Benson Lossing), Goodyear, Charles 1800-1860 (search)
Goodyear, Charles 1800-1860 Inventor; born in North Haven, Conn., Dec. 29, 1800; was an early manufacturer of India rubber, and made vast improvements in its practical use in the arts. His first important discovery was made in 1836—a method of treating the surface of the gum. This process was superseded by his discovery early in 1849 of a superior method of vulcanization. He procured patent after patent for improvements in this method, until he had more than sixty in number, in America and Europe. He obtained the highest marks of distinction at the international exhibitions at London and Paris. He saw, before his death, his material applied to almost 500 uses, and to give employment in England, France, Germany, and the United States to about 60,000 persons. He died in New York City, July 1, 186

Stoughton, Edwin Wallace 1818-1882 Diplomatist; born in Springfield, Vt., May 1, 1818; settled in New York in 1836, and was there admitted to the bar in 1840; became eminent through his connection with prominent trials, including the india-rubber patent cases of Charles Goodyear; the troubles of William M. Tweed, etc., and as one of the counsel before the electoral commission to argue Rutherford B. Hayes's right to the Presidency. He was minister to Russia in 1877-79. He died in New York City, Jan. 7, 1882.

osed to wet under the tropics to prefer the old-fashioned oil-cloth overcoat to the MacKINTOSHintosh. This was remedied by the vulcanizing process discovered by Goodyear. The modes of manufacture up to a certain point of the manufacture under the old, or non-vulcanizing, and the present, or vulcanizing, processes, are very simgh the influence of heat, of sulphur with the gum, gives it the peculiar properties acquired by vulcanization, though other ingredients are largely added. Charles Goodyear in his original patent preferred 5 parts sulphur and 7 white lead to 25 caoutchouc. The particular proportions of these and other articles are, however, we n, and used for combs, knife-handles, and even rolled into thin sheets and employed as a substitute for paper. The substance called ebonite, invented by Mr. Charles Goodyear, who devoted his whole life to the development of the capabilities of caoutchouc, contains from 30 to 60 per cent of sulphur, and has various other ingredi

Those immediately below the eaves, as a cornice. Eave-trough. A trough, usually of tinned iron, suspended beneath an eave to catch the drip. It is held by a strap or hanger, which may have means for the vertical adjustment of the trough, so as to give it the required fall in the length of the eave. Eb′on-ite. Mr. Goodyear's name for what is generally known as hard rubber. It is a vulcanite with a larger proportion of sulphur and certain added ingredients. The proportion of sulphur is from thirty to sixty per cent, and to this may be added certain amounts of shellac, gutta-percha, chalk, pipe-clay, sulphates of zinc, antimony, or copper. It is used of many colors, as may be gathered from the above list of ingredients, and of hardness and consequent facility for taking polish. The compound, mauger its

er at pleasure; the object being to facilitate package and removal, and the convenient study of any one part. Another novelty is a globe made of tissue-paper and inflated with air; such a globe may be made twelve feet in diameter, and is useful in a lecture or school room. A very cheap paper globe is now met with, in which the printed gores are brought together edge to edge by a string, not exactly to a spherical form, but sufficiently so for familiar reference. Globes are also made by Goodyear, of inflated india-rubber, or of silk coated with india-rubber solution. Adams has made them of gutta-percha, with surface in relief, and in detachable zones and sections. Globes of paper pulp have been suggested, molded inside of shells whose inner surfaces have intaglio representations of the inequalities of the earth's surface, so that the globe shall represent the mountains and valleys. It would be necessary to exaggerate the altitudes to make them visible. A model earth twenty-on

Charles Goodyear, who added a new material to the substances before available for the uses of mankind, was bd, and an enumeration of the number of articles now made of vulcanite would fill a pamphlet. Goodyear's patent in France was voided by a technicality, it being held that he had not fully put his inidence was abused in England, and a patent obtained in that country a few days prior to that of Goodyear. His patents in this country, 60 in number, have been the cause of interminable litigation, an
