Below are given some results obtained from the first cycle of temperature, and these are compared with similar results obtained on a recent batch of standard cases put through the production test; the figures being fairly representative of the Redmanol material.

The new cases are assumed to have had exactly the same treatment in the moulding process as the standard cases.

Ratio. (Megohms)

| Temp. | Celoron M | Celoron S | Beetle Powder | Redmanol | |
|-------|-----------|-----------|---------------|----------|----------|
| 20 | 2,830 | 973 | 2,850 | 1,580 | 70.7 |
| 40 | 2,740 | 191.7 | 959 | — | — |
| 60 | 663 | 54.1 | 945 | — | — |
| 80 | 72 | 16.5 | 270 | 69.1 | 3.1 |
| 100 | 331 | 12.2 | 46.1 | — | — |


These results show that, as regards leakage at various temperatures, all three materials are quite as good as Redmanol. It was observed
