Index Entry
We want to think about production and getting then films and environments under controls, separating from outside to inside. There is no way man develops such high speed production as in rolling devices that produce sheet steel at fantastic rates coming out from those rollers-- and film which can be such barriers. And the other one is paper-making. You make a number of rollers of paper and you have two of them coming together and corrugated ones in between and gluing them together, making the corrugated paper board out of half paper is very good; it has a very high wet tensile strangth-- doesn’t bother it at all if it gets wet. But as you have something coming out of rolls, the roll going around, and you have another roll, and there’s a printing press. So you can get some newspaper coming out. And so you can print information. . . Any kind of shapes you want, any picture. So I find then you can do any complex kind of work you want and print it right out on your paper-board as it comesout at fantastic high speed, and not only print it, you can put a little groove in it. You press the paper down, and that’s the way you want it to fold. And paperboard domes can really be produced at a fantastic rate.
