Thoy night not know tho final aaavor until tho ooeond quarter of 1968 by' rhieh tine thoy would haro triad out uooful tonnagoo of CP.

X said that there vould bo no great difficulty about iaereaeed quantified of c Caeaiar AX and that vo vould aleo do our utnoat to oupply any abortfall in HYL graded. Mr. Hutohoroft atatod that, r in ouch circunetancee, thoy vould prefer to take HYL to any eubatituto Canadian grades. Vo talked briefly about HYL/1S77 and vo vere both uncertain vhetber thia grade had boon submitted to then*. Xf not, Mr. Hutchcroft vould like a 1 lb. eanplo for laboratory toata. Ho atroaaod that thoir intoroat in HYL/1877 vould bo United and vould only develop if thoy oaoouatorod difficultiee vith Aabeetoe Corporation 6b vhleh they are . . nov using and if HVL/1877 had proved to bo a .satisfactory .. aubatitute. v.TTi*. . ft Tho report on tho 50-ton trial oonalgnnont of TA/X in vovon polypropylene bage vould be ready very eoon and Mr. Hutehoroft proniaod to lot ua have it aa eoon as poaaiblo after hia return. Clearly thoy <4o not like Griqualand S preeeure-packed in J-ply paper bage and he auggoated that vo might aak whether Qriqualand Jr. r'-. w could Biki up their fibre la eovea polypropylene rather than la paper bags. Zt vai agreed that ve vould review, thia when the report on the vona polypropylene vaa received. Za the meantime, Mr. Pemberton undertook to find cut froa Ceatral Aebeetea Co. Ltd. vhat fora of packaging they acre uelag at preaeat for ehipaeata to Certain-teed. 7. Mr. Kutchoroft eaid that they hare not yet ooneidered Amoeitee in preaeure pipe pfoduotloa and thought they probably ehould. Z agreed to let thea have a 1 lb. eaaple of Cape OX grade and ooaflraatloa of prioe. Ve agreed that it vould be beet if thia setter vere handled through T.A.P.Ltd. aad Cape Aebeetoe Pibrea Ltd., rather than encouraging ftorth Aserloaa Aabeetoe Corporation to ooaaunieate vlth thea. Thia trill require rather delicate handling on our part. Vhile It suet be a part of our aervloe to offer auoh alternative grtdee to Certain-teed, an ezoeea of interact in thia grade vould be eabarraaelng if it reduced their demand for TA/X or Grlqualand S. Mr. Hutohoroft thought that any future intareat in Aaoelte for preaeure pipe production vould be very elov developing. k J .< %i* - V ' . r V M. 7. SOYX . `i f a . . L. t )
