Two mill runs (N-9 and N-10 trials) and the associated laboratory research work are described under the general program for making an improved type of Navy H-60 filter paper. The N-9 trial is concerned essentially with the optimum physical and chemical conditions for causticizing the viscose furnish, a great part of this laboratory study being concerned with the type and degree of washing that may produce a satisfactory product. It is demonstrated that a hydropulper, a piece of equipment commonly found in paper mills to defiber paper stock, will materially aid in the causticization procedure. Operating conditions such as temperature, caustic concentration, and degree of agitation are extremely important when causticizing stock in this equipment. The N-10 trial is concerned essentially with a study of the effect of blending causticized rope fibers with causticized rayon. Upon substituting 50% of the rayon with the causticized rope, there resulted a paper with markedly improved handling properties and with only a small decrease in efficiency. (Author)

Progress made in the development of a domestic substitute for esparto fiber in the Navy type H-60 filter paper is outlined. Two mill runs and the associated laboratory research work are described on mill procedures for the manufacture of cauterized viscose-asbestos filter papers. It is shown that bright viscose rayon may be used in place of the dull grade and that Blue African asbestos may be used in place of Blue Bolivian. The shrinkage problem on the machine driers is appreciable decreased by the use of bright viscose. The most efficient Navy filter paper made on a semiproduction scale is discussed. Operation of the Hydrapulper, used in the production of viscose-type filter material, was satisfactory.

This is an interim report describing in detail two mill runs and the associated laboratory work on the effects of replacing esparto with woodpulp fiber in the Navy H-60 filter paper. It is shown that an extremely good paper can be manufactured using causticized wood-pulp in place of esparto fiber. However, the paper relaxes considerably after manufacture to give a product similar in performance to the H-60 paper. It is shown that the 'flexing' effect can be eliminated partially by spray treatment of the wet paper with wetting agents with considerable loss in paper strength. The relaxation flexing, and 'break' effects all require further study. (Author)

The report covers the investigation of Army user requirements for target paper and evaluation of currently available target papers. Additionally, laboratory-prepared target papers were evaluated in a limited investigation of groundwood/sulfate fiber content and additive formulations. Results from a questionnaire sent to thirty Army user interest locations indicated a need for a target paper durable under adverse weather conditions and standardized with respect to color and printing qualities.

The bursting strength and other physical properties of vinol paper depended on the strength of bonds formed between vinol and poly-(vinyl alcohol) (I) sizing composition. Some physical properties (e.g., puncturing strength) of the vinol paper reached a maximum when the content of I was 20% and declined thereafter. The bursting strength of vinol paper was a function of the length and diameter of I fibers. (Author), Unedited rough draft trans. of Obshchaya i Prikladnaya Khimiya, Minsk (USSR) n2 p87-95 1970.

In the process of development at the expense of components of paper and a book as a whole, fungi form numerous metabolic products, among which there are compounds belonging to different chemical groups. Pigments outwardly cause noticeable ruination of a book; the removal of these pigments requires the use of highly active oxidizers or reducers. The situation is particularly unfavorable when the paper is simultaneously subjected to destruction and pigmentation. Experiments are described which were devoted to a study of some aspects of this problem. In these experiments, using the example of an experimental series of paper samples, the destructive and pigment-forming activity of four fungi were examined. Eidamella deflexa (Berk.)

Since it was first introduced in 1952, the ZEISS Electric Reflectance Photometer ELREPHO has been extensively used in the pulp and paper industry. In the pulp factory the 'brightness' of a pulp is an important criterion of its suitability for making white paper. Experience has shown that the diffuse reflectance of the pulp in the blue range of the spectrum is a useful measure of this potential whiteness. It has been suggested that pulp should be examined more closely to establish its yellowness index. Thus the diffuse reflectance of the pulp was measured with the ELREPHO, using every filter, and the yellowness index calculated from the gradient and height of the reflectance curve. The interrelation between the parameters often determined with an ELREPHO in pulp and paper mills is illustrated graphically. (Author)

From the observation that in papers made from moderately beaten stock a certain distance of separation between the surfaces of fracture is needed before the break is complete, it was predicted and shown that for short strip lengths the stress-strain curve of paper does not fall immediately from the point of maximum stress to zero stress. Using this phenomenon of 'non-immediate rupture' it was possible to obtain values for the fracture energy per unit crack length. It was found that these values compare well with those obtained using Corte's extrapolation to zero length method. An examination of the effects of rate of straining and relative humidity on the fracture energy was also made. (Author)

The importance of four forming variables in producing strong kraft papers from furnishes of northern pine and of southern pine was investigated. The variables included stock consistence, pH, temperature, and weight of sheet. With the northern pine, a flexible fiber, consistence and sheet weight were statistically shown to be the most important factors; greater strengths were generally obtained at low consistence. With the southern pine, a stiffer fiber, only sheet weight affected strength. Generally, the strength-to-weight ratio was higher for the heavier papers. No combination of the forming variables yielded machine-made papers with overall properties as high as those of the handsheets. (Author)

A polarographic method was developed for the determination of copper present as copper-8-quinolinolate and copper-8-derivatives in paper sandbags. The polarographic method uses 1:1 orthophosphoric acid as the supporting electrolyte and lead as the pilot ion. Paper sandbags containing 0.14% copper as copper-8-quinolinolate were used for this work. It is concluded that this polarographic method can be used for the determination of copper in paper. It is superior to the presently used electrolytic method with respect to time (5 hours versus 1 hour). The results obtained by polarography are in agreement with those obtained by the electrolytic method. (Author)

The purpose of this study was to explore a method for developing production standards for a low-production fourdrinier paper machine producing a wide range of specialty paper types. The approach was based primarily on noted historical deviations of actual production from production indicated from the use of formulas or nomographs describing the theoretical production possible. Using FORTRAN IV on an IBM 360, a program capable of accepting and analyzing historical data in order to develop production standards was developed. The program is also capable of comparing production runs on a particular day with the historical standards. A similar approach could be applied in both specialty mills and in high-production mills using the fourdrinier paper machine. The production standards developed from such a method would provide a basis for standard cost accounting by product and by production run, would permit evaluation of changes in the machine, and would provide a means to evaluate machine and crew performances. Quality control chart methods incorporated in the computer program would also aid in pointing out production runs with extreme deviations from the historical standards of production in order that checks could be made for assignable causes.

The possibility of producing a single-layer anticorrosion wrapping paper for metal parts, by means of addition of various kinds of additives to the paraffinning compound, was investigated. Effective protection from atmospheric corrosion of ferrous and nonferrous metal parts, by means of paraffinned wrapping paper containing corrosion inhibitors, was demonstrated. Formulas for the protective layer of paraffinned wrapping papers for metal parts were presented. It was found that wrapping metal parts with inhibitor paper and then paraffinned paper increases the corrosion resistance of the paper to a negligible extent in the majority of cases., Unedited trans. of mono.

The durable fire-retardants based on the colloidal solution of cationic aminotriazinealdehyde resin have been applied to HINOKI sliced veneer and filter paper. The treatment is accomplished by soaking samples through an aqueous solution of these resins, drying and curing at room temperatures. The effect of kind of acids and of varying ratio of fire retardant components in treating solution on the fire proofing efficiencies of HlNOKl sliced veneer and filter paper are discussed. Results are compared with those reported in previous paper and ammonium salts as fire retardant agents for wood, paper, fabrics and other combustible materials. Aminotriazine-aldehyde condensation products combined with strong acids such as phosphoric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid and sulfamic acid imparted excellent fire resistance to wood and filter paper. Satisfactory fire proofing properties can be obtained in both HlNOKl sliced veneer and filter paper at resin add-on as low as about 10～15% with a few exceptions. Total amount of resin required becomes lower as the melamine/acid ratio is decreased.

Due to the fact that only comparative results were sought, the investigation was greatly simplified. On a comparative basis, the effects of external influences were largely eliminated from positions of vital importance and the use of an elaborate test, circuit was unnecessary. The equipment consisted of a high-voltage test transformer which supplied the test voltage; an induction regulator, auto transformer and generator field rheostats for voltage control; overload relay and aircore inductances for circuit protection; motor-generator set for a source of 60 cycle alternating voltage. The electrodes were circular, square edge brass discs. Specimens were immersed in lubricating oil for periods up to 40 hours and then tested for puncture strength. Following this, specimens were immersed for one hour and 24 hours and each of the two groups tested at intervals of time up to 720 hours. In each test the voltage was raised in steps of 200 volts, starting at 1000 volts. The puncture strength of the untreated paper was determined by testing a sufficient number of specimens over a period of days. The results obtained indicated no immediate deleterious effects of lubricating oil on paper. On the contrary, there was an improvement in puncture strength, accounted for by the fact that the relatively low voltages-used did not make ionization a serious factor. The results of tho long-time tests were unsatisfactory, as explained previously. However, they did permit the conclusion that deterioration of paper impregnated with lubricating oil would become apparent much sooner than if insulating oil were used. Oxidation, although probably existing, was apparently too slow to affect the results.

(Bill) Shemorry sleeps on a stack of packages of print paper, Williston, N.D., Film negatives, 4 x 5 in., "Bill Shemorry Sleeping on Print Paper - Also in Farmers Press Office"--Handwritten on envelope containing negatives, Title created by staff., William E. "Bill" Shemorry was a native of Williston, N.D. who began work in the newspaper industry as a newsboy selling the Williston Herald and the Williams County Farmers Press. In 1953, he started to publish the Williston Plains Reporter, which he operated for 25 years before selling to the Williston Herald. Shemorry then began to concentrate on his own writing and photography. In addition to writing many books on the history of Williams County, he also collected photographs of early North Dakota photographers. Shemorry was an active member of the Williston Fire Department, was Civil Defense Chief of Williams County for three years in the 1950's, and was a combat photographer in World War II. Shemorry's photograph of the discovery of oil in North Dakota on April 4, 1951 at the Clarence Iverson No. 1 is one of the most famous oil photographs ever taken, and was published in many national publications.

The Harry Bober Papers (1930s-1988) contain the research notes, correspondence, lectures, reprints, photographs, slides, and negatives collected throughout Bober's career as a Medieval art historian. The papers reflect the diversity of Bober's knowledge and achievements in the field of Medieval art and contain documents generated by Bober as professor, lecturer, scholarly author, editor, art dealers' consultant, and private collector., Bober's interest in the unique concept of Medieval Schemata dominated the middle years of his career and is documented throughout this collection, apparent in many lectures, manuscripts of written works, and research notes. This collection contains much of the research accumulated by Bober on this topic, including his studies of Medieval pictorial language and the scientific and philosophical culture of the Middle Ages. Photograph files contain comprehensive collections of manuscripts and sculptural programs which support his theories pertaining to Medieval Schemata., The primary value of this collection lies in the fact that Bober was unable to publish many of his ideas on Medieval Schemata before his death. Other areas of interest within the collection involve investigation files and lecture materials. Investigation files were created by Bober while working as a consultant for art dealers, primarily H.P. Kraus. While the bulk of the lecture material available within Series II appears to have been generated by Bober, some very interesting files contain notes and lectures by colleagues Erwin Panofsky, Walter Cook, Richard Krautheimer, and Willibald Sauerländer., 0 THE CLOISTERS ARCHIVES Collection No. 43 The Harry Bober Papers Processed 1995, 2013 The Cloisters Library The Metropolitan Museum of Art Ft.

The collection was delivered to the Medieval Department of the museum, where it was housed until its transfer to The Cloisters Archives during the summer of 1993. Funding for the first year of a two-year processing project was provided through the generosity of Shelby White and Leon Levy. The first year of the project to process the Harry Bober Papers began in August of 1994 and ended in August of 1995, conducted by Associate Archivist Elaine M. Stomber. Tasks completed within the first year included: rehousing the collection within appropriate archival folders and boxing systems, transferring original folder titles to new folders, conservation repair work to the deteriorating card file system, creating a container list to Bober's original filing system, transferring published material from re

The James J. Rorimer Papers (1927-1966) contain a rich and varied assortment of archival materials that document the career of James Joseph Rorimer (1905-1966), curator of medieval art, director of The Cloisters museum, and director of the MMA. The bulk of the collection comprises correspondence, research notes, typescript and handwritten drafts of various lectures and publications written while working for The Cloisters and the MMA, and administrative records relating to The Cloisters' annual budget and daily activities. Other material includes index cards, library call slips, newspaper clippings, MMA press releases, notebooks, photographs, records relating to specific exhibits, and miscellaneous ephemera (flyers, pamphlets, catalogues, programs, etc). Other material of note include documents relating to Rorimer's tenure as Chief of Monuments, Fine Arts and Archives Section of the Seventh Army during WWII. The collection will no doubt be of interest to museum staff and external researchers studying the foundation of The Cloisters, museum administration, and the man himself. It may also serve provide information regarding the provenance of specific pieces of art now in The Cloisters' custody.
