Re: Information Regarding the British Metallising Co. Ltd.
A variety of silver and silver-gilt articles in which the metallic covering is chemically combined with a rubber base now are on the market in England. It is claimed that the articles produced by this process will not dent and that the silver will not strip from its base. A copy of a brochure issued by the Precious Metal Industries, Ltd., the manufacturer, forwarded to the Department of Commerce by Trade Commissioner Hugh D. Butler, at London, illustrates silver-mounted engraved toilet articles, watch cases, frames, candlesticks, and other silverware made by this process.

Re: Information Regarding the British Metallising Co. Ltd.
A NEW PROCESS FOR PRODUCING ELECTRICAL CONTACTS
The Precious Metal Industries, Ltd., have recently introduced a process devised by Mr A. L Warren of Derby for the production of metal contacts, etc., embedded in ebonite or other insulated material, which seems to be of great interest. Mr Warren appears to have found that if metal foil, preferably of gold-silver alloy, is pressed into contact with ebonite or other substance containing rubber with a minimum of 7½ per cent, of sulphur, and heated, a film of metallic sulphide is produced which gives very powerful adhesion, and, when the foil is stripped away, can be reduced by an ammoniacal solution so as to leave a thin, strongly adherent metal film upon which copper or other metal can be deposited electrically to form a strongly adherent layer.
He has more recently found that the foil can be replaced by coating the ebonite or other substance, where required, with a paste containing oxide of silver, which is heated in a hot air chamber and vulcanized, producing the metallic sulphide film which is reduced and deposited on as before. The process enables metallic layers of any shape to be deposited on the insulator, presumably in moulded or machined recesses, and at our suggestion the firm has kindly produced a commutator of the well-known Fleming form for condenser measurements, a photograph of which is shown. The metal appears to be perfectly uniform, with an excellent polished surface, and the advantage of being able to build up such a commutator without joints needs no enlarging upon. It is understood that the thickness of the metal is usually from 10 to 20 thousandths of an inch, but that there would be no difficulty in making it thicker.
There would seem to be a very great utility for this process for many electrical instruments, and we are glad to be able to call the attention of instrument manufacturers to it.
The address of the company is Bridge House, 181 Queen Victoria Street, London, E.C. 4.
