However, since their recommendations are now materially different, we are going to submit to the Chloride Company a copy of the instructions we had proposed to put in the instruction book, which instructions are, with slight modifications, the same as those contained in our sheets pp.22 to 221 above referred to, pointing out that these were based on their previous booklet, and in view of the different instructions they now send through, we should like them to say in what manner they would recommend our proposed instructions to be altered. One point upon which their latest instructions differ materially from those given in their No.2004 catalogue, is that they do not suggest changing the acid, hence the reason for starting with acid of high tension in order to finish up with acid of correct density. For the time being there would appear to be no harm in continuing with our instructions in their present | ||
