Marks of New York who describes his product substantiallyas follows: The rubber foot consists of a wooden core, carved to size and shapeto secure the best results (Fig. 390). The faint lines in the illustra-tion represent the corewhich reaches the ball ofthe foot, localizing the toemovement. The distancefrom the core to the floorat the heel is consider-ably greater than at anyother part; this is donea. a. marks, n. v ^0 obtain the proper de- Fig. 390.—Profile View of Rubber Foot. gree of compressibility at.
