The final step in the development of the modem match was the invention of the safety-type cardboard match ascribed to Joshua Pusey (1892), now called the book match. It dominates the American match industry and is gaining in popularity in other countries although it was rather slow in gaining acceptance because it was somewhat mote difficult to ignite than the wood-splint match. 

Two processes precede the affixing of the heads for wooden matches. The first one is glow-proofing of the splint by impregnation with ammonium phosphate or a mixture of it with boric acid. In paper matches, the impregnation is conveniently done during the fabrication of the paper. This suppresses... 

The cost and selling price for matches increase considerably with higher quaUty cover paper, elaborateness of printed messages on and inside the cover (and sometimes even on the splint), and size of the order. In any case, the customer receives exactiy the same high quahty matches and striking strip. 

Stress or fatigue fractures are very painful. Most often symptoms occur after athletic activity or physical exertion. Gradually pain worsens and becomes more constant. Stress fractures do not show up on standard x-rays. A bone scan maybe used to confirm the diagnosis. Stress fractures usually occur in the weight-bearing bones of the lower leg and foot. Stress fractures of the tibia account for half of all stress fractures, resulting mostly from athletic activity. These stress fractures are often mistaken for shin splints. In addition to the tibia, the fibula and other small bones of the foot are prone to stress fractures. 

Sticky waxes are used as thermoplastic cements. The broken pieces of a plaster impression are reassembled and held in position with sticky wax. Broken denture bases may be held in proper alignment for repair. Orthodontic apphances may be assembled with a sticky wax prior to investing and soldering. Plaster splints may be sealed to stone models in the production of porcelain or resin facings. Thus, sticky wax is useflil in almost any operation where it is desired to position and hold several small pieces in a temporary relationship.

A safety match head is, essentially, K chlorate in a matrix of animal glue. The striking strip is composed of red P in a similar binder. Use of additives and adjustments in the mfg process results in a safety match which ignites easily when rubbed on the striking surface. The friction and contact of K chlorate crystals with red P results in the ignition of the match head which, in turn, causes the ignition of paraffin impregnated in the match splint...
