Foote Mineral Anniversary Brochure
Features Kings Mountain Operations
Rings Mountain's Foote Min
eral company plant is the lead
lng feature of Foote's 75th annl
versary edition of "Foote Prints,"
semi-annual technical publica
tion of Foote Mineral Coimpany.
The issue, hrndsomely print
ed in brochure toon, with a two
color coyer, uses an airpUne
photograph of Its Kings Moun
tain plartt on the cover, and de
votes its first four pages to pic
tures and detailed copy ouuln
ing Its Kings Mountain opera
tions.
The publication calls Kings
Mountain "one of the finest
sources of lithium" and describ
es Its Kings Mountain property
as "the largest known deposits
of lithium ? bearing spodumene
in tfee Western Hemisphere."
Other pictures show the several
Klnfl Mountain operations
wheeeby spodumene ore is pre
pared for rtiipment to Foote's
Exton, Fa., plant for further pro
cesslng.
The brochure relates the story
eft Foote's success in developing
the technology of lithium, a 25
year research job. Lithium,
lightest of metals, Is now used la
lubricants, ceramics, air-condi
tioning systems and as a substi
tute -for scarce lead in manufac
turing television sets.
Lithium and its related chem
ical compounds get a wide vari
ety of uses. Lithium hydride is
used as the source of hydrogen
in inflating nJbfcer life rafts. The
modern submarine uses lithium
hydorxlde in storage batteries
and to absorb carbon dioxide.
Lithium ateferate is a component
of face powder. ?

Baud To Display Neislei-Woven
Plastic, Product Of "Fiddling"
"We fiddle with a lot of
things," says C. E. Neisler, pres-,
ident of Neisler Mills, Inc.
A recent and continuing pro
duct of this "fiddling", or ex
perimenting,' Is jacquard-woven
plastic which is now available
at the end point of its usage and
being shown oh several Items of
furniture this weekend at Balrd
Furniture.
Dan Huffstetler, Baird mana
ger, said he will display and of
fer for sale on his floor Friday
sofa beds, platform rockers and
T-V chairs which are covered In
Nelsler-woven Jacquard plastic.
Neisler has been experiment
ing with plastic ? fot several
months, first with the closer
woven plastics commonly used
for seat covers, latec with the
looser-woven upholstery ? type
plastics. * r i v
The upholstery" fabrics are
roore porous and are less respon
sive to temperature changes.
They don't get as cold in winter,
npr as hot in summer, as the or
dinary plastics, they have the
other plsstic advantages: resis
ance to stain, mildew proof,
ness and washafbllity.
' Neisler buys pigment . dyed
plastic yarn, then weaves it into
upholstery-type plastic.
One of the principal problems
in weaving plastic ysrn, Mi".
Neisler relates, is to eliminate
static, commonly known by auto
owners who use plastic seat* co
vers, and which, In a weaving
operation, builds., up to a -very
large amount of static. To pre "
vent static "shocks" when a per
son sits down on a new plastic
Covered sofa, Neisler nses a sta
tic eliminator, treat!*? ??' yarn
with a pa^e. The yar is run
through water and "dried on;"
Otherwise, weaving plastic
yam causes about the normal
technical production difficulties
as occasioned In switching to
other type yarn, other than cot
ton.
"But people have been weav>
ing and coloring cotton and wool
for a long time," Mr. Neisler re
marked. "Perhaps In a 100 years
we'll be able to handle all the
new yarns as easily as cotton."
Another sample of Neisler
??fiddling" was strewn across a
chair. It had a cotton backing,
but, on top, was a puffed fabric
made of rayon. I* appeared ideal
for a child's teddy bed;.
' Actually, the fabric was made
for a work glove manufacturer.
The fabric'is resistant to the ray
ages of emery wheel attacks,
and enables a man working a
refund a machine shop, garage,
or other businesses where the
emery wheel is used, can work
without fear of slicing his fing
ers with emery wheel cuts and
burns.
