1. GC: You will have before you the body and enquiring mind of [378], who is in his office at ... St., New York City, and the information given him and his associates through these sources on June 4th, 1931, concerning the product of the factory of Louis Dejonge & Co., at Staten Island, N.Y. You will answer the questions he will ask regarding these.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, [378], and the information that has been given regarding the products in which the body, the mind, is interested.
3. (Q) What is the best and cheapest formula for coating our standard colored grounds with a size that is non-inflammable, pliable, absolutely waterproof and light-proof? (A) As we find - while, to be sure, there would be the necessity of some experimentation, but - the coating of same may be made in THIS manner: To be sure, the quantity should be sufficient to submerge, or to roll stock THROUGH. This, however, is the quantity - or PROPORTIONS - for tests that might be made:
First we WOULD prepare a solution of hyposulphite of soda. The hydrometer test of same should be eighty. Submerge the stock in this for five to eight minutes. Then thoroughly wash. (This to destroy the chemical effects of pyro or other properties IN the manufacture of paper - see?) Then submerge same in a solution of collodion ten parts, water twenty parts, oxalic acid one-twentieth part, and this will COAT - or emulsionize - both sides of paper if run THROUGH same. See? Then wash same, AFTER it has dried (in the dark) in this solution: Water one quart (This the proportion, to be sure), a solution of SULPHITE of soda - forty hydrometer test - eight ounces, CARBONATE of soda eight ounces - hydrometer test twenty. Then washed in this solution, or submerged for five to ten minutes. Then wash in CLEAR or PLAIN water for five to ten minutes. Then submerge in the HYPO solution and wash thoroughly. In the hypo solution, in this rinsing, for three to five minutes. This will make a

waterproof stock, one that will not curl when pressed or dried properly, may be used on tinted stock as well as on plain stocks, and would prove to be an economical and an easy way of handling such coatings. This done by floating, or through the reels as from rolled paper - see?
Should there be the desire for tests to be made in multi-COLORED papers, with the collodion solution there may be added that of bromide of SILVER, or NITRATE of silver. To this QUANTITY (as has been given) the various QUANTITIES of the silver added would SENSITIZE same, so that exposures TO light in VARIOUS degrees will MAKE the various tints; either of pink, shell pink, browns, blacks, grays, and the like. These would necessarily be by the TESTING of same a universal, and the SAME character OR color each time.
After running through the emulsion or COLLODION solution, with the oxalic and the sulphite - not sulphate, but SULPHITE - and the carbonate, and with the washing and fixing and cleansing, we would have a stock that will be light-proof, waterproof, and supply that as may be used for the various products of this organization.
4. (Q) Have you given complete information as to the formula and method of applying same? (A) Do this as we have outlined. We are through.
