It imrkod a turn toward the attack of Industry problems and market development on a broader front with naans provided for grantor flexibility of action to neet situations os they arlao. Establishnent of the Technical Steering Committee and Industry Oovolopnont Fund contributed markedly to this desirable end and has already resulted in undertaking sovoral now projocts. The Technical Steering Coramitteo provides a moons of crooning technical activities oa they apply to the de velopment of markets for lead. This Cocnittoo made sovoral recommendations which have since boon translated into action. The Industry Development FUnd, first sub- scrlbod in 1955 by tho sellers of pig load, provides the means of financing those and other actiritioi-. Our major projocts last yoar are listed here and those and others are described in detail in the body of this report* 1.

So for It has allocated funds toward the major support of tho Metallic Lead Products and Plgnonta and Chodcals Division, toward tho now corcdc program, for a stu-y of the market for load os a oucloar radiation shield, and starting with 1956 to lneroaso tho frequency of publication of tho magazine Load.* RADIATION SHIELDDO S Walter Kidio Vudoar Laboratories was ongagod to mako a preliminary sur vey of tho markot for load as a nueloar aHolding material. The report of this sur vey was sent to members in January, 1956. Subsequently tho Technical Stoorlng Caodttco not to considor tho report and has rocamended that no further surveys bo conducted as information already in hand indicates a markot warranting pesitivo ac tion by tho Association. Tho Industry Dovolopoent Coodttoo actod favorably on this rococamondatisn and it has now boon referred to tho Board. CtHAKICS A Ceramic Technical Coedttoe, composed of representatives of members supplying load products to the ccradc industries, was organized during the summer of 1955. This committee recommended that the Association engego a competent con sultant in this field, prepare a manual containing all available information on the use of lead products in ceramics, circulate the manual widoly in the ceramic indust ries, and follow it with loose-leaf supplements as additional information becomes available. This program was approved by the Industry Development and Executive Committees and an appropriation mode to carry tho work to tho end of 1956* The text of the manual is nearini; completion and it Is hopod that the publication will be ready for circulation soon. Dr. John Kooni'j, diroctor of the School of Ceramics, Rutgers University, has boon rotainod as consultant and sorvos as chairman of the Ceramics Technical Cosnittee. CABLE SHEATHIWQ @Tho Technical Stoorlng Coomlttoi appointed a Cablo Sheathing Task Group composed of representatives of two load producers and four cablo manufacturers. This group has mat throe times. It concluded that the markot for lead would be aidod greatly if the alloys commonly used for cablo sheathing could bo extrudod in continuous instead of Intermittent prossos. The activities of tho group are now directed toward solving this probloa with the cooperation of tho proas manufacturers both hore and abroad. wwpwr* i"~ ' r n > q ^ p n |n ii .................................. .. JM '.-lisp** ' ^ ' ; * ` '' '< "' .. ..

The only cost to the Association will bo the time of its staff and the Association con receive royalties and purchase copies at greatly reduced cost. The purpose in undertaking this is to illsseal nats as widely as possible full information about lead and its products so that others rill find uses for cur metal, in outline has been prepared for a book of sees 700 or 600 pages and approved by both A.C.S. and the publishers, and a nuaber of the authors have already been secured. The contract % lls for delivery of the completed manuscript by the Association by January 1, 195b. lET.'JXIC LEAD PRODUCTS DIYXSTOR The work of this Division is currently aimed in throe directions developnent of the market for lead in plwbing and other architectural applica tions, in chemical construction, and in solder. ARCHTTECTP^U. APPLICATIONS - We have continued our work to increase the use of lead in plimbing with one man in the field contacting plumbers, city offidols and others having an influence on the materials used, numbers* Forus" ras pub lished twice during the year end waa circulated to 21,000 plumbers, while each Issue of "Lead" carried at least one lead plumbing story to thousands of archi tects and builders, Re gave further encouragement to instruction in lead work for plumbers and ordered a new printing of 5,000 copies of our textbook 'Dead Work for Modern numbing.* Previously 6,000 copies of this book had been distri buted, most of them sold at cost, so that when all 11,000 have been distributed, the net cost to us will be little or nothing. We supplied lead materials for the plumbers* international epprentloe contest at Purdue University again and a staff member served as judge of leal work, ararding defense bonds to the ihreo best lead workers, A series of pamphlets providing specifications for and helpful infor mation about various applications of lead in plusbing and other parts of build ings have been prepared. These will aeon bo printed and distributed to over 15,000 orchit'cts. We are now seeking the right man to add to our field staff fcr the purpose of contacting architects end builders. A specification of lead for chemical laboratories has had surprisingly favorable acceptance. S'DO lJea of the importance and potential of this market may be gained from the fact that, depending upon local practice, from none to over 120 lb. of lead are used per bathroom and well over 1,000,000 housing units, many with 0 several bathrooms, were constructed last year. That dees net include buildings otLor than dTcllings, and cf course does not include roof flashings, shower pans or other applications of lead lm building. *2 i 3 M'ii w w -:j ' i-i tmwsrurn--iy jgir,.n's.''

Annual Report 5 for ths Tear 1955 CHEMICAL CONSTRXTION - This work has consisted essentially of gathering factual information abrut existing installations In which lead ia used for handling cor rosive chemicals and disseminating that information to the cheoloal industries. Dissemination has generally been accomplished by preparation of articles for the leading trade papers in the field and obtaining reprints of the articles. These reprints oro circulated as Lead Chemical Bulletins to interested members and as Lead Chemical Construction Bulletins to a list cf about 800 people engaged in the chemical industries and to instructors and students of chemical engineering* In addition, we are called upen to provide technical assistance with respect to the use cf lead in contact with corrosive chemicals and ia the design of equipment for this purpose. The engineering departments of such prominent chemical producers as the duPont Company are in regular end frequent touch with us* A staff member is extremely active in the Rational Association of Corrosion Engineers* Also for tho feurth year he delivered the lecturo on lead to graduate students at Newark College of fogineerlng* SOLDER - Our solder crmmltteo, consisting of technical representatives cf four e caber solder producers, under tho chairmanship of a staff ncsber, has virtually completed a draft cf a Solder Handbook to be published by the American Welding Society. Eventual distribution of this berk should be a valuable aid to users of solder end consequently assist in tho development of solder markets, PIGMENTS ,-Jg) CH5CCAIS DIVISION s This Division devoted its attention to red lead paints exclusively. Under tho supervision ~f the Rod Lead Technical Cfrslttee, a limited on'ur.t cf ex posure testing of pr.ir.t formulations was conducted. Red Lead Technical Letter No. 10, based on an L.I.A. point formulation that has been adopted as standard by one of the country's leading oil companies, was issuod and circulated to about lL,000 potential users cf red lead paint. Work cn two additional technical letters was also started. This Division's rosoarch ;Togran has resulted in the development of red lead fcrnulations for galvanlxod surfaces that give every indication of open ing an Important now market for rod load , alnt3. An article on the subject was ,re;ered and published in "Paint and Varnish Production* Dr. L. L.
