GC: You will have before you the body and enquiring mind of
[
378], in his office at ..., New York City, together with his
associates of the Louis Dejonge Co., and the information they
are seeking regarding the improvement of the cascine sizing
used at their Staten Island factory in making top-sized
leather papers.
Please give the formula of a solution that can be used with
or in place of the cascine sizing now being used, that will
make the paper as water-proof, as pliable and as
non-inflammable as possible; taking into consideration the
following needs:
A solution that can be brushed on to the paper as is the
cascine with the machinery now in the Staten Island factory.
A solution that does not contain chemicals that are so
inflammable that they would increase the fire insurance rates
as would the use of the collodion suggested in the last
reading.
You will answer questions regarding this.
EC: (Going over in detail the suggestion of the needs,
desires, wants and requirements.)
We do not find in the present any change that we would make,
in the present. These may be sought further. In the present
we do not find any change to make.
(Q) Is there any suggestion that would aid the chemist in
experimentation for this?
(A) We may seek through these channels through which such
information may come. In the present we have none.
(Q) When should we seek again for this?
(A) When it may be found, which may be when called for.
There's none present in the present.
That is all for the present.
We are through.
