| R.R. 235B (200 T) (S.D. 408. 26-4-17.) Bm. 2/156/12. To O.O. from EFC. EFC1/AT31.8.17. X.3067.-EXPERIMENTAL PETROL & OIL RESISTING ENAMELS. With reference to the above enamels we have experimented with these and we did not find the petrol resisting enamel satisfactory. We found, however, that the oil resisting enamel appears to be quite good, and we would like you to obtain for us some more of this, say 2 lbs, so that we can make some further experiments. We do not know the firm from whom you obtained these but you will no doubt remember having ordered these enamels and any other necessary details. EFC. | ||
