I- SUBJECT: io o Canal Street, CLEVELAND, Report of latter and final test on Dahl Lead. As the continuation of the previous experiment of this Lead I made further experiments as follows: No. 1 liquid paint, same consistency as S.W.P. usinj i)ahl Lead straijnt. No. 2 liquid paint same consistency as S.W.P. usinj one part white zinc to two parts Dahl Lead. No. 3 two parts white zinc one part Dahl Lead. Tuis costs as follows, regular 101.04, No. 1 101.0*/ No. 2 9(3.98, No. 3 97.75. The consitseney of the three-samples are all about the same as our rejular. When painted with, we find No. .1 to lu ve little or no body. No. 2 to be some what better. No. 3 beinj about toe same as rejular S.W.P., No. 3 weijat 13 lbs. 1 oz. ajainst 15 1-4 lbs. for regular. This test seems to show that the Dahl Lead does not have with tne some consistency as ordinary lead near as much body. In fact at seems to have even less bod/ than zinc. No. 3 for mula however would substitute very fairly for our rejular joods. Whether it would commend itself so thoroujhly to the consumer under tne various conditions of use, is however a,question.______ . It would be subject to the same objection advanced by Mr.. Hojarwi with reference to other chanjes we have considered. Namely its jreat decrease in weijnt. Wnelner the savinj of about 2 1-4 cents a jallon be sufficient to make it pay to fijnt this difficulty and run the risk also m findinj other difficulties with the consumer is a question. It looks to me as thoujh the process would be of questionable value. To say that Dahl Lead is equal in every way to the old lead process is undoubtedly a mistake. Yours truly, > l N23213 io o Canal Street, CLEVELANO, Report of latter and final test on Dahl Lead.
