hence the commercial limits to which a piece can be moleed are from 5/1000 to 10/1000 from blueprint dimensions, and like pyroplax, the more allowance possiblethe lower the cost of molding.

Referring to standard breaking tests, as perhaps you know, this test is made of the cross breaking strength when tested in the form of a standard briquette supported on knife edges 2" apart with the load applied with the knife edge placed between these supports.

If there is any further information you require, we shall be very glad to assist you in any way possible.

Yours truly,
CUTLER-HAMMER MFG. CO.
