Stephen Perry's Rubber Bands

Introduction
Stephen Perry was a 19th-century British Inventor and Businessman, and ran a corporation called Messers Perry and Co, Rubber Manufacturers of London, which made early products from vulcanized rubber. On March 17, 1845, Stephen received a patent for the Rubber band.

Effects
The rubber bands are highly flexible, meaning that they can be used to slingshot objects from great distances. However, if someone uses the rubber bands to bind papers together, they will become rubber, and will bounce easily.
