Time of Reading 11:30 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. New York City.
1. GC: You will have before you the body and the 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 December 4th, 1931, concerning the product and the operations of the factory of Louis Dejonge & Co., at Staten Island, N.Y. You will also have before you the data concerning this which I hold in my hand. You will answer the questions which [378] has submitted, as I ask them, and that he desires to know in this connection.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, [378], and that information which has been given, also those conditions as surround the product and the operations that produce same. The information which has been given is applicable to the surroundings and the products, in the converting of the raw products into those of the character as has been designated that these may be, in the order or a process of manufactures of raw stock in coating same, or the like. The same may be applied in the coating or surfacing of raw stock, by the same manner. Not necessarily submerging, but with brush, pencil, stencil, or the like - and OPERATIONS would be carried on in the same manner. No heavy stock, as we find, may be expected to be non-curling without a coating or emulsion on both sides of paper, but any stock that might be coated with the emulsion, as given, will take any tint-color, and be waterproof, as is indicated in the character of emulsion. This character of emulsion is not so inflammable as those that are used in some preparations; neither is the odor such as to be too unpleasant for the working of same efficiently. To be sure, the alcoholic content is stifling to some, but this - as we find - is the perfect or proper SOLVENT for properties that would make OF the surface that of a water-PROOF surface, or so that the inks or the coloring matter would be penciled or brushed into, or on, the surface of such products.

applicable, of serviceable, of real value in the preparations of stocks, as are indicated in the plant here - Staten Island.
4. In the manner as is being used in the present, this is an efficacious way and manner - but it does not make as perfect a light-proof, nor a water-proof stock, as may be had with the brushing of, emulsion on, the stock - see?
5. (Q) What sizing formula can be suggested to be applied by our coating machines to coated grounds or raw stock, that would produce an absolutely waterproof surface on one side, which would be non-inflammable, pliable, and that could be washed with a wet sponge without discoloration and loss of finish? (A) That as has just been indicated.
6. (Q) How could the present formula for top-sizing, as used now in making our Leather Papers, be improved so as to make the surface more waterproof, more pliable with more luster after finishing? (A) This, as has been indicated, would necessitate the grounding of the colors in the manner indicated through the emulsion, that would be brushed, floed (?) [flowed?], or mixed with the color in the distribution of same on surface.
7. (Q) Is there any further information that will be helpful in producing a satisfactory waterproof paper by our method of coating? (A) This, as has been indicated, is of or through this same method of coating as is used by the machines here - see?
8. (After long pause) That is all the questions.
9. We are through for the present.
