| X6055 Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Wst. BY {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} /EM18/J.11.11.31. Lead Paint for protecting Metal Parts. We have received your note Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Wst4/AD.10.11.31 with regard to the lead paint for the above purpose. As we informed you verbally, we have a gallon of Arcanol Lead Paint for test purposes which is in the Experimental Dept. Stores. We will also obtain for you sufficient of the Nust paint to enable you to try out this also. For your information we would inform you that both paints are of a similar type namely they are supposed to consist of Colloidal Lead in suspension and both we imagine will behave similarly under test.
