Would you kindly obtain for us another sample of "Nust" as we wish to try the effect of this material under the action of dilute sulphuric acid such as would be met with on our battery box and fittings. To do this we shall just coat an ordinary battery box with this material and note the effect. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Wst. | ||
