BY1-P31.5.21. X.3513 RE PARTS IN BAKELITE. X.2641. Referring to R5/G1C.5.21, the piece you refer to was a part we had selected for trying out Bakelite mouldings experimentally at our Works, since it represented, as you point out, a fairly simple issue, we thought it a good piece to start upon, as the Bakelite will be better for the particular service of this piece than moulded ebonite.
