Research activi ties were in the sain confined to continuation. Inspection and eval uation of projects already under way. ATMOSPHERIC ECPOSORE PROCRAM On September 15, 1949, the 95 corrosion lnhlbitlve paints on 1,410 specie :ns at five locations, which coaprise this test, had been exposed for one year. They were all Inspected at that tlfco by neabers of tho Fed Lead Technical Coaaittee ar.d the technical direc tor of the Division. This ctrly Inspection already shows a general superiority of the red lead base points over those based on other corrosion inhibitive plgncnts. A brochure describing this project In detail has been prepared and Is now in galley proof fora. It vill be circulated In the next fow weeks to between 10,000 and 15,000 users, specifier* and aanofacturers of corrosion lnhlbltlve paints. It will be followed before the year end by e first progress report giving the results of the Inspections made this fall after one year's exposure. RED LEAD TgCHHIC.iL LETTERS Red Lead Technical Letter Ho. S, which was published by this Division late In 1948. resulted in a large aaount of Interesting cor respondence in errly 1949. Sevcrrl hundred reeuesta were received for additional copies end there rore nany re'uests for further reeon- Bcndatlons on the appllc-tlon of red lesd prints to specific prob lems. Samples or sotae of the lnailrles era attached to give an Idea of their type. See Appendix, pages 7 to 9, attached. In September, 1949. Red Lerd Technical Letter Ho. 4 was printed I"* nalllrr list for these letter* contains about 8,000 naaes. This letter grve twelva red lest brae formulations for the three general types of rrrino exposure-atmospheric, lntaralttant iracrslon or tide range, and continuous lanarslon.

These range froa 65 to 100 par cent rod lead content end era substantially In accordance with the recoonoadatlons mdo by tha Ooa- nlttaa. Q. s. ia v t sraancAHOBa One of the earliest objectives of this tlvlslao was to re capture tho ret.il protective paint sarket of the levy which was lost to zinc ehrcaate at the beginning of the nr. An laportcnt step toward attainment of that objective was taken during the year. The ! l&vy, because of considerable dissatisfaction with the tine chronoto prints it has bc^n using, issued "Ituroau of Ships Fonsuls So. lie, 1 Priwcr, Exterior, Maintenance (For leather Surfaces)." This paint contains 55 per cent red lead find la slxllor In composition to 0.8. Maritime Coralsaion Specification 52-UC-DOl, adopted a few years ago on the recocnendation of our Technical Cornelttec. This appears to bo clear cut evidence of the value of this PIvision's cooperative "ork. Tens of thousands of gallons of this paint, cortalnlrg 3.8 lb. of red lead per gallon, have already been ordered by the Xavy In the short tine since adoption of the forwula, whereas no red lead was contained in tho predecessor forwula. Kpnggp torero mp AWiaa A paper entitled "An Investigation of Prlners for Marino At mospheric Envlronnents" was presented by the technical director of the Division before the Baltlrore Paint and Varnish Production Club. It was the sane paper that was prasonted st Houston and Dallas late In 1949 and nat bated on teats started by the Division tone four year* aarllar. This paper was subsequently published In the Kay, 1949, Issue of the "Official Dlgaat" of the Federation of Paint and Varnish Production Clubs. Approxleatrly 7,000 reprints wore soiled to speci fiers, users and forwulttora of netol protective paints. rn LI A07859 - -ainfrfcaaiiaidgin-ni-iMr* -'*--n COOPEPJkTm PROJECT AT THE PABAMA CAMAL Several paint aysteas containing red lead prlners were *- potad during the year aa part of a long rang* projact being carried out by the Special Engineering Cltlalon of the 0.
