HL1/AG.23.3.35. Laboratory.

We have obtained samples of "Seekay" Wax from Imperial Chemical Industries Ltd. in connection with a problem in which we are interested.

It occurs to us at the same time that you may be interested in these materials for dynamo use, as they are reputed to have melting points varying from 93°C. to 125°C. (according to the grade) and good insulating properties.

We are, therefore, passing on a portion of each sample to you.
