Condensation product of urea and formaldehyde obtained
K. Ripper obtains a condensation product of urea and formaldehyde by the use of salts giving an alkaline reaction on hydrolysis. These are added to retard gelatinization of the initial condensation products soluble in water.

New aluminum alloy (51S) described
R.S. Archer and Z. Jeffries, Alcoa, describe an aluminum alloy (51S) with approximately 4.4% copper, 0.8% silicon and 0.75% manganese, improvable as to strength and hardness by heating to about 500 degrees C, quenching, and aging at 120-160 degrees C.

Effect of local deformation strain on metal suggested
H.J. Gough and D. Hanson suggest that local deformation strain hardens metal locally and initiates fracture when some limiting value is reached.

Nickel-copper alloys obtained
R.C. Stanley, International Nickel, obtains nickel-copper alloys (of the Monel type) by roasting a nickel-copper material, the product being subjected to a melting temperature with a sulphur-removing slag in a basic-lined electric furnace.

Polymer of vinyl chloride prepared
I. Ostromislensky prepares a polymer of vinyl chloride by effecting the polymerization in two stages. In the first stage a polymer is produced which is soluble in acetone and in the second stage furthur polymerization is effected by the action of light or heat or both.

Patent on 3 coating airplane wing process
T.F. Tesse secures a patent on a process whereby the fabric of airplane wings is provided with at least three successive coatings - the intermediate coating being formed from a cellulose acetate solution and possessing greater flexibility and elasticity than the other two.
