August, 1917 Glide Air Hose Is Goodyear Hose NDOUBTEDLY the tremendous volume of Glide Air Hose deliveries in recent weeks is partially accounted for by the fact that our branches can make such deliveries immediately. The construction facilities of shipyards have been enlarged with unprecedented speed and air hose as well as other equipment is wanted promptly by all. So tremendous has been the expansion in many yards that the customary demand for quality has sometimes been subordinated to mere speed in delivery. Glide Air Hose is Goodyear Hose. The heart of it, the inner tube, is compounded to resist strains and the oil vapor from compressors— compounded by the same masters who have contrib- uted so much tothe outstanding merits of Goodyear Tires and Goodyear Conveyor Belts. The seamless cotton jacket, between the inner tube and the outer cover, is a product of the same careful research in the weaving of fabric for mechan- ical equipment which has produced the special weave duck of Blue Streak Belts with its enormous strength and amazing adaptability to pulley conditions. This specially woven body is effectively designed to minimize the lengthening effect of the air pressures GOOD ne ft eB THE MARINE REVIEW within the hose, effects which in inferior hose strain body and inner tube so strenuously as to shorten their life. The tough and durable outer cover is another achievement in compounding, an achievement made possible by the same patient endeavor which pro- duced the virtues which have won for the Goodyear All-Weather tire treads their well-merited reputation. These three parts, inner tube, seamless body and outer cover are molded into a wear-challenging unit that will not kink—Goodyear Glide Air Hose. As in every Goodyear product, no factor in efficient construction and durable materials has been overlooked. In consequence Glide Air Hose satisfies the in- sistent demands of piecework labor for air hose giv- ing continuous service. And it keeps down overhead costs.
