Adhesives for safety glass manufactures
A process is developed by British Celanese, Ltd., in which phenol or creosol-formaldehyde resins are modified with cellulose esters, acetate, and nitrate, as well as a plasticizer. The process is useful in the preparation of adhesives for safety glass manufactures.

Age-hardening of duralumin
M.L.V. Gaylor and G.D. Preston ascribe age-hardening of duralumin to the distortion of the space lattice caused by precipitation of highly dispersed particles. The precipitation involves the resection of the atoms of the dissolved metal from the lattice of the solid solution (possibly with formation of molecules) and the coagulation of the rejected atoms or molecules.

Airplane non-conducting flexible fabric developed
N.A.T.N. Feary develops an airplane non-conducting flexible fabric provided with an electrically depositied metallic coating for fireproofing and strengthening. The fabric is saturated in boiling linseed oil under pressure, dried, coated with plumbago, and passed in contact with conductors through a copper sulphate solution.

Airplane panel material
W.A. Wirz, British Celanese, Ltd., develops a process whereby perforated sheet-metal plates are placed between sheets of a cellulose acetate compound which penetrates the perforations of the metal after heat and pressure are applied to produce an airplane panel material.

Alkali halides can be made to behave ductilely
A. Joffe et al. show that normally brittle alkali halides can be made to behave in a ductile manner by immersion of the crystals in warm water while they are being loaded.

Alloy with specific gravity less than 2.7 described
A. Pacz describes an alloy series from which machinable castings having a specific gravity of less than 2.7 can be formed, consisting of 8-20% silicon and 92-80% aluminum.

Alloys studied by X-ray diffraction
While studying alloys, particularly solid solutions, by means of X-ray diffraction, E.C. Bain discovers superlattices, demonstrating the maintenance of the solvent- lattice type in primary solid solutions and the variation of the lattice spacing with variation in solute concentrations.

Aluminum-copper-nickel alloy produced
W.A. Mudge, International Nickel, produces an aluminum- copper-nickel alloy by adding an aluminum alloy such as 35- 85% aluminum, 45-10% nickel, 20-5% copper to a molten bath consisting mainly of copper and nickel.

An acid resistant alloy patented
F.M. Becket assigns a patent to the Electro Metallurgical Company for an acid resistant alloy of at least 40% nickel, 15-40% molybdenum, and iron not less than 10% nor more than 5 times the amount by which the molybdenum percentage exceeds 10.

Aniline-formaldehyde condensation products
Aniline-formaldehyde condensation products, formed in presence of acid, are treated with a base to eliminate acid. The result is a homogeneous, easily-worked product which can be dried and compressed in molds. (Soc. Anon. pour l'Ind. chim. a Bale)
