The proportions of this machinery which were imported from Empire sources were respectively 78 per cent., 30 per cent. and 52 per cent. No details are forthcoming under different classes of goods but the total value of rubber goods manufactured locally in 1926-27 was reported to be £6,220,000. More recent figures should show increases, as 16,000 tons of crude rubber were absorbed in 1929. Exports. 84.

In the three years 1925-26 to 1927-28 they totalled respectively £106,000, £54,000 and £68,000. Miscellaneous rubber goods comprise the greater portion of these.

These mostly serve only part of the needs of the local market, and hardly participate at all in the export trade. Two of the largest of these fac- tories are in South Africa and Singapore. In the Union the industry centres in the South African Rubber Manufacturing Com- pany, Ltd., originally a subsidiary of the British firms of Spencer Moulton and Wood-Milne. Works were established in Natal in 1921, but later were moved to the outskirts of Johannesberg. ' Mechanical *’ rubber, soles and heels are the chief products of the factory.
