We understand that we have been unable to obtain any further supplies of bakelite powder like the first sample, and it appears to us that the original supply was of American manufacture, and cannot be reproduced in this Country. We believe several requests have been made to the firm concerned asking for quotations and delivery, and no satisfactory answer has been received, and we suggest that the Standardisation Sheet is withdrawn.
