B. Boehner -2- June 18, 1951 test ctch shipment and send their the characteristics on ths rubber test. In view of the feet that there is oonsiderable oonfu*- ton as to markings, w agreed to make definite mar icings on the bags and eliminate all irrelevant markings, particularly when the bag has been previously used -for some other purpose, ffesoo uses Ho. 6301 to designate Lithopone regardless of type. However, since they a re using so many types, they want us to designate the type on the bag and also Indioate by letter that the material is Bird process. So in the future, will you please mark the bags with the following respective designation, using 1-inch letters instead of the 2-inch letters that were used on the bags shown us at Trentonj 6301 2 013 6301 T*U21B 6301 1320 The "B* following the above designated grade refers to the Bird. Zhay prefer the s o o t s lettering, with their Ho. 6301 just above our designation of the grade. CHAii oot SBO, Jr. CS> JM FPS Cn BB 0. H. Adana Auxiliaries Be sear oh Laboratory 0007--SWP-043822
