Rubber reclamation. Rubber from old tires. Salvaged rubber, in the form of small pieces, passes over dewatering screens after it leaves the wash tanks. The pieces are secured by dissolving the fabric from gold casings cut into small sections after renewal of bead portions. The process, known as the xylos process, is employed in a large Midwest rubber plant. Firestone
