[[red underlined]] cresyl phosphate [[/red underlined]] or other solid solvents or heavy volatile solvents so as to determine at what point the sticks become electrizable and at what point they are light-proof told him also to make some bricks and bits with the same two C20 formulas [[strikethrough]] of [[/strikethrough]] which we standardized in Yonkers [[strikethrough]] from [[/strikethrough]] with Gothelf and to harden slowly so as to determine whether this will not prevent crazing [[red underlined]] Laurence Byck [[/red underlined]] has conducted some experiments [[red underlined]] Novolak + hexatriphenol [[/red underlined]] and wood flour for molding mixtures He first used small quantities of hexatriphenol and heated them with the Novolak but this hardened too rapidly to allow good mixture and penetration of the

wood flour. So then in accordance with our instructions he mixed [[underlined in red]] Novolak + hexatriphenol + wood flour directly on the steel rolls [[/underlined in red]] and thus obtained very [[strikethrough]] fl [[/strikethrough]] fusible mixture and any penetration [[underlined in red]] and sheeted lumps. [[/underlined in red]] But these sheeted lumps [[underlined in red]] were so fusible [[/underlined in red]] that in the disintegration where they are granulated, the granulated material was apt to [[strikethrough]] be pasty [[/strikethrough]] became [[underlined in red]] pasty [[/underlined in red]] on account of elevation of temperature He is now trying to heat the granulated material at different temperatures in order to determine how to increase somewhat the temperatures of softening. The main effect I forsaw, easy and thorough mixture and penetration has already been accomplished
