- Editor's Notes
- "Did not write you before because experiments were not finished. They consume a great deal of time drying etc,--We have succeeded in matching the New Cylinder and the process is simpler than ever before. Have done away with the sapurification of [unclear] and precipitation of fatty acids. By a trick in sapurification we can make a better cylinder from the cheap grade of crude oil. Today gave Mr. Batchelor an outline sketch of what we would need at Bloomfield and he says it shall be hurried through. In meantime we will arrange to make and cast into ingots about 500 lbs. here so that you will have some stock to work on while Bloomfield is being fitted up. We are anxious for you to "sit up" with this wax one night and give it a thorough test then we will have a lot of different compositions for you to try. The transparent cylinder is not so very far off. ### I think we have gotten there. It only remains for you to test the stuff and confirm it." Very truly yours, Arthur C. Payne
