SUBJECTi REPRBT CO LEAT Ei^EXS
To Heaters of the Lead Industries Association, Inct
V/ hare obtained copies of the attached reprint on lowtemperature, lead-bearing enaaels for steel for distribution to enamelers, frit manufacturers, graduate ami under-graduate students In enameling, and others for whaa this study Bight prove useful.
This work was done st the University of Illinois under a research fellowship sponsored by the International Lead Zinc Research Organization.
Particularly where students in enamel classes are concerned, we think this piece will servo to encourage further work with lead. In addition, this reprint will be offered in the "Lead Library" listing in LEAD magazine, which is sent to about 3,000 ceramists.
Members may obtain 25 copies of this reprint free of charge, and larger quantities at our cost of 11 cents per copy.
Very truly yours.
