yet 100 [[underlined in red]] Novolak [[/underlined in red]] + 40 Hexatri gives a stick practically as hard [[underlined in red]] perhaps harder than 100 + 60. [[/underlined in red]] This will have to be followed up by specific tests.

Aug 4. Went to factory to examine further results of experiments I disclosed to Rossi the idea of coating a watery solution of [[underlined in red]] hexatriphenol [[/underlined in red]] on paper or using it as [[underlined in red]] an impregnating fluid [[/underlined in red]] having the benefit of [[strikethrough]] inex [[/strikethrough]] inexpensive solvent, great impregnating proved by decomposition under heat

a bakelite of [[underlined in red]] maximum dielectric properties [[/underlined in red]] all this constituting a new departure in our methods. An even better and very elastic method is to add together in variable amounts solutions of phenolalcohol in water and hexatriphenol in water propositioning the latter to have the best effect All the [[underlined in red]] advantages of watery solutions. [[/underlined in red]] and then a prototype of [[underlined in red]] salicetin [[/underlined in red]] or Novolak of maximum hardness after H2O is expelled and requiring a [[underlined in red]] minimum [[/underlined in red]] of [[underlined in red]] hexatriphenol to [[/underlined in red]] harden it and yet of maximum of fusibility before the heat has decomposed it. It would [[underlined in red]] be easy to make [[strikethrough]] hexa [[/strikethrough]] phenoalcohol coating solutions, by the known
