The Universal wringer, Fig. 2739, con-sists of two parallel rolls of vulcanizedrubber fitted to shafts having at one enda double set of gears, which are arrangedwith long and strong alternate double setsof cogs on the same wheel. The arrange-ment of the cogs is shown in Fig. 2740,and is such that they cannot work later-ally out of their places or bind. Therims between the teeth being of equalsize, they roll easily when pressed togeth-er. The uppermost roller is set in looseboxes, upon which pressure is applied bymeans of a wooden spring, as shown inFig. 2741. In attaching the rubber rolls to the iron shafts, considerable difficulty has been expe-rienced from the fact that the sulphur of the rubber unites with the iron, rendering the metal LAUNDRY MACHINERY 277 The rubber is also rapidly softened and destroyed. To obviate this difficulty, the shaft is first var-nished, then wound with linen thread, after which several more coats of varnish are applied, and Mm** m\ 2740. 2741.
