  • Cellophane is produced by dissolving wood pulp or other cellulose material in an alkali with carbon disulfide, neutralizing the alkaline solvent with an acid, extruding the precipitate into a sheet, impregnating it with glycerine, and then drying and cutting the sheets to the desired size.
  • Cellophane was invented about 1910 by the Swiss chemist Jacques Brandenberger (1873?–1954), who in 1912 invented the first machines for large-scale production and established a factory near Paris.

fountain pen history

shared by jacob sullivan on 14 Jan 14 - Cached
  • A fountain pen is a nib pen that, unlike its predecessor the dip pen, contains an internal reservoir of water-based liquid ink. The pen draws ink from the reservoir through a feed to the nib and deposits it on paper via a combination of gravity and capillary action. Filling the reservoir with ink may be achieved manually (via the use of a Pasteur pipette or syringe), or via an internal filling mechanism which creates suction (for example, through a piston mechanism) to transfer ink directly through the nib into the reservoir. Some pens employ removable reservoirs in the form of pre-filled ink cartridges. A fountain pen needs little or no pressure to write.
  • liest historical record of a reservoir pen dates to the 10th century. In 953, Ma'ād al-Mu'izz, the caliph of the Maghreb, demanded a pen that would not stain his hands or clothes, and was provided with a pen that held ink in a reservoir and delivered it to the nib, which could be held upside-down without leaking, as recorded i

  • The Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company manufactures chewing and bubble gums with long-lasting flavor and dependable, uniform quality. This includes manufacturing our gum in spotless, air-conditioned rooms and sampling all ingredients before accepting them into any of our 19 factories. After raw ingredients are approved for quality, the first production stage begins.

  • Ingredients
  • The various latexes are taken from trees in much the same way that rubber is obtained. The tree is gashed, and the latex drips into canvas bags. It is then boiled to reduce water content, hardened, and kneaded into blocks weighing about 25 pounds (11 kilograms). After shipment to a gum factory, it is purified by heating and straining before being put into a mixer, a vat in which other ingredients are added. After cooling, the mixture is flattened by rolling machines, cut into sticks, and fed into a machine for wrapping and packaging.
  • This is the process used for the standard stick of chewing gum. Gum is also sold in candy-coated pellets or tablets, soft bubble gum, gum balls, and slabs or sticks of bubble gum. Each type is put through a different process. Some bubble gum, for instance, is extruded, or squeezed through holes while still warm, then cut or shaped before being wrapped.Gum balls are coated with a sealer and then sprayed repeatedly with sugar syrup that hardens. Next they are polished with an edible wax. Candy-coated pellets or tablets are treated in much the same way.Chewing gum is a popular product around the world. Manufacturers are located on almost every continent. However, the world’s largest manufacturer of chewing gum is the William Wrigley Jr. Company of Chicago. Other U.S. manufacturers include the Topps Company and the Ford Gum & Machine Company
