| -2- A commercial form of glycerine on the market is Rad marketed by Messrs. L.P.P.Pearce Ltd., 50, Mark Lane, London.E.C.2. Ethylene Glycol can be obtained from Imperial Chemical Industries Ltd., Morley House, London Rd., Leicester. A commercial form of Ethylene Glycol is sold under the name of Prestone and is marketed by Chalas & Sons Ltd., Finsbury Pavement House, Moorgate.E.C.2. On the whole we think that Ethylene Glycol is preferable to Glycerine as it is not so viscous and is more efficient. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} | ||
