Notes: | Label source: Rubber specimens - No 1 naturally coagulated (see photograph and letter) Entebbe 15.6.04. No 2 coagulated by very weak solution of Hypo. of Soda. No 3 coagulated by common salt. No 4 coagulated by Alum. Submitted to Messrs Hecht, Levis &, Kahn Aug 11 1904. Report received Aug 13 1904. Copy transmitted to Mr Dawe Aug 16 1904. See letter 136.1904 JHH We return today the samples of Landolphia rubber you sent us yesterday. No 2 is decidedly the best coagulated and with todays high value of f, ine Para we estimate it would fetch about 4/9d per lb. No 4 we think is the next best and worth about 4/8d. No 3 about 4/7d and No 1 which is much weaker and softer, from 4/4 to 4/6d. Messrs Hecht, Levis and Kahn Report 12 Aug 1904. Copy JHH |
