“…Williams (19), Barnett (1), and Frumkin and Dubinker (5, 6) are among those who have investigated the thermal conductivity. The problem of heat generation has been studied by Barnett and Mathews (2), Fielding (4)> Jones and Pearce (11), and others, using the rebound technique to determine energy absorption; by Kosten (12), Naunton and Waring (IS, 16), Roelig (17), Sebrell and Dinsmore (18), Gehman et al (7,8), using high-frequency vibrations; and by Cooper (S), Havenhill (10), Lessig (13), Mackay, Anderson, and Gardner (14) > and Gough and Parkinson (3) in apparatus involving the destructive working of rubber stocks. The latter method gave results which in-Mjfi.…”
