Information on bow lead nay be used under such eondltlona should be Beds known. In answer to a question on costs of leal bonding, Mr. Knapp Stated that ths cost for cheeleal construction is 512 to 20 per sq. ft. and ths cost of lead bonded ahlaldlr^ for atonic applications ranges from $410 to $1,000 per ton with a aedlan of around $600 a ton. Be then stated that the trend In these Industries la to fabricate quljsent within their own organisations and unless they has* personnel trained In the fabricating of lead, we will be at a disadvantage. Be re ported that his organisation has ths facilities for training such perwxnal and will do eo if necessary. !\ The secretary thereupon thanked Hr.

Please retard these notes as thinking aloud, and don't hesitate te propound any snag* which night Maks the sebene impracticable.
