  15. Profile: • VULKAN is among the leading European producers of latex goods. Its production programme is made up of four fundamental elements, which mainly comprise the production of condoms, examinational and surgical gloves, children’s pacifiers, and household rubber gloves.

  17. The history of the condom: • The first note of a mechanical device that covered and adorned the male genitals dates back to the year 1350 B.C. and comes from Ancient Egypt. The device mentioned, which resembles today’s condom, was also used in Asian cultures. We cannot, however, speculate on a specific era for Asian use. The first users in these lands were most probable the Celts. • The first evidence of actual condoms comes from 1564 A.D., when Italian doctor Pallopius created a kind of sheath that was made of flax. This textile material was replaced with animal, and particularly sheep gut during the 17th century. It was at this time that the name “condom” was born.

  18. Certain researchers say that the name originated thanks to an English doctor called Conton (some sources specify the name Condom). This gentleman was the court doctor of the English King Charles II. (1630-1685). Doctor Conton apparently handed out modified sheep gut to members of the royal family and their encourage in order to protect them against sexual diseases and thebirth of children out of wedlock. • The French town of CONDOM also proudly claims credit for the naming of the condom. However, this small town is affected by one major problem in that the sign bearing the name of the town is always being lost to tourists and constantly in need of replacement. The thieving souvenir hunters cannot even be discouraged by police patrols or taxpayers.

Vocabulary: • Boasts of – pyšní se, hrdá na … • Crude oil processing – zpracování surové ropy • Fertilizer - hnojivo • Affiliated members – přidružení členové • Found – založit • Stockholder – akcionář • National Property Fund – Fond národního majetku • Annual turnover – roční obrat • Binder – pojivo • Supplement – doplněk • Dye – barvivo • Sheath – pouzdro • Flax – len • Gut - střevo
