Examples

• Goodyear discovers process of Vulcanizing Rubber. Edward W. Byrn. The Progress of Invention in the Nineteenth Century.
• On June 15, 1844, Mr. Goodyear took out his celebrated patent, No. 3,633, covering this process, in which he not only used sulphur, but added a proportion of white lead. Edward W. Byrn. The Progress of Invention in the Nineteenth Century.
• Goodyear devoted a great deal of his time to solving this problem, and, like many other great inventors, he passed through many trials. Various. The Wonder Book of Knowledge.
• He also proposed to use vulcanised rubber, thus utilising the then very recent discovery of Goodyear of mixing sulphur with soft rubber, and to apply the same to the canvas lining. William Henry Doolittle. Inventions in the Century.
• With the idea of extending his invention Mr. Goodyear visited England in 1851, where he found that Thomas Hancock, of the house of Macintosh & Co. Edward W. Byrn. The Progress of Invention in the Nineteenth Century.
• Goodyear had discovered the process which afterwards came to be known as vulcanization. Edward W. Byrn. The Progress of Invention in the Nineteenth Century.
• This exhibit cost him $30,000, and he called it the Goodyear Vulcanite Court. Edward W. Byrn. The Progress of Invention in the Nineteenth Century.
• Prof. Silliman, of Yale College, however, in the fall of 1839 testified to the results claimed for it by Mr. Goodyear--that it did not melt with heat, nor stiffen with the cold. Edward W. Byrn. The Progress of Invention in the Nineteenth Century.
• There was an American by the name of Charles Goodyear who had heard how the natives of the rubber-growing countries used this milky juice in many ways for their own benefit. Various. The Wonder Book of Knowledge.
• Charles Goodyear took this nearly worthless material, and made of it, as Parton said in 1865--not a new material merely, but a new class of materials, applicable to a thousand divers uses. Edward W. Byrn. The Progress of Invention in the Nineteenth Century.
• He persisted in his quest, however, and it was accident at last that opened the way to discovery of the processes of vulcanization for which Goodyear was seeking. Various. The Wonder Book of Knowledge.
• Mr. Goodyear had not yet discovered, however, the process of vulcanization, upon which the rubber industry is founded. Edward W. Byrn. The Progress of Invention in the Nineteenth Century.
• And these qualities depend on and vary as a greater or less amount of sulphur is used, as described in the patents of Goodyear, commencing with his French patent of 1844. William Henry Doolittle. Inventions in the Century.
• To meet these difficulties, a new machine known as the Goodyear Welt Machine, was patented in 1871 and 1875, and brought out a little later. Edward W. Byrn. The Progress of Invention in the Nineteenth Century.
• This process was an important, distinct and unique step, entirely the work of Mr. Goodyear, and it has never been superseded nor improved upon to any extent. Edward W. Byrn. The Progress of Invention in the Nineteenth Century.
