Description: |
| "Thin sheets of pasteboard are currugated by passing them between grooved rollers, or by subjecting them to pressure between dies of suitable shape." This notable invention is for making corrugated paper or veneer. The inventors' intended application was for cushioning the sweat-bands of top hats. In 1871, American Albert L. Jones patented the idea of using this corrugated paper for packaging lamp chimneys and glass bottles. In 1874 American Oliver Long had the idea (patent 150,588) of gluing an interstitial padding layer between sheets of paper to make a box material that was strong and cushioned; Long appears not to have known of this corrugated paper, but he sold the rights to his invention to Brooklyn box-maker Robert Gair, who did know of corrugated paper and who was the first to combine these ideas to create corrugated cardboard. |
