Rubber Testing Methods

[Billy_Bob]

I was reading about testing rubber made for billiard table cushions
(Book: Billiards & Snooker A Trade History by J. R. Mitchell 1981), and the book mentions testing to be sure the rubber "rebounds" in the expected way.

This testing is done with a "Dunlop Tripsometer" to be sure the rebound will be between 63% and 65%.

So I searched for "Dunlop Tripsometer" and found the following interesting page on rubber testing...

LOL, I'll be there cause it's not very far at all. FYI, it's still pretty chilly in this area during VF as you know... I tend to weat boots when it's chilly....
