...fast, non-smudge printing, various means have been devised to make ink dry almost instantly when it hits the paper-absorption, evaporation, oxidation, polymerization (molecular clustering). In the "flash-dry" process, the newly printed paper passes between jets of flame and the liquid part of the ink ignites with a flash, leaving a dry residue. The June Technology Review (M. I. T.) describes a new "frozen" ink for porous papers like newsprint. The ink is solid at room temperature. It is fed like lumps of coal into the press, which heats it to fluidity, at 200° F. On reaching...
Polymerization (the process of linking molecules together in long chains) is the key to successful artificial rubber. In natural rubber such molecular chains hold the substance together when it stretches. When chemists stopped trying to duplicate natural rubber's chemical composition, and set out to duplicate its structure and mechanical action, results followed...

This was Goodrich's way of introducing a new synthetic rubber, patriotically called "Liberty Rubber" or Ameripol (Ameripol-for American raw materials, mostly petroleum; pol-for polymerization, the process of making synthetic rubbers...
...Hundreds of new stations. When the FCC decision came through, 22 FM permits had already been allotted, several stations were in the process of being constructed. When FCC issues new licenses, these 22 and 135 other applicants who are now clamoring to operate FM stations will all start from scratch...
