There would likely be no objection to the relatively small quantity of | the slurry from the # Line that would be mixed with the 1 Line alurry through the present practice of the sump from 2 going to fl Line It may be well to contime this practice in order to provide some glass fiber in flatware and billets for obvious reasons It would seem worthwhile to conduct a preliminary trial of about3 days duration to determine the effects on production and product properties Thess results would determins if an extended run was advisable to obtain the informs- tion in question as the standard for # Line A suggested formulation is attached WOT; arts Attach -- V.
