Research and Development.
a. An attempt is being made to test all carbon products by means of spectrum
s,xalysis. Progress is being made.
b. Automatic tipping and filling devices for mixers are to be developed.
c. Attempts to improve the quality of carbon brushes produced no positive. results
and have been, discontinued.
d. The search for the causes of,a very high percentage of spoilage (5in the
case of 'electrodes) has assumed characteristics akin to ysteria. rile -spoilage is
