| X6122 Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Wst. BY {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} /EM7/J.13.5.32. Arcanol Paint for Battery Bozes. We handed to you some time ago a sample of the above paint for test purposes for protecting batteby boxes. The original sample apparently was not very satisfactory as it did not withstand the action of acids. The Walpamur Co., who supply Arcanol Paint have been carrying out experiments in their Laboratory and they have submitted to us a further sample which has been specially prepared and they consider that it will satisfactorily resist the corrosive action of the battery acid. We shall be glad if you will have same test at your convenience. BY {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} /EM. | ||
