SUMMARY

With t h e exception of Kenyon Company fabrics, P-298, P-197, and P-198, t h e different. fabrics deteriorate only very slowly over a period of 100 days; there is a general relation between increase in acetone extract and increase in permeability; t h e

r

fabrics exposed from February t o June (average temperature 58' F.) deteriorate more slowly t h a n those exposed in the warmer weather from June t o August (average temperature 73 O F . ) ; fabrics exposed with rubber side down showed no appreciable deterioration over t h e whole period; fabrics exposed rubber up, b u t shielded from ultraviolet light, deteriorated at about t h e same rate as those exposed t o t h e direct rays of t h e sun; and there is no apparent relation between t h e results of weather aging and an accelerated aging test a t 130' C. Tensile strength of all fabrics is decreased about 1 5 per cent b y t h e exposure. Exposure t o high concentrations of phosgene for I j hrs. rots t h e fabric and rubber. Chemical analysis of t h e fabrics appears t o indicate t h a t over I O per cent bitumen is undesirable and t h a t as high as 2 0 per cent of carbon tends t o preserve t h e fabric, especially when exposed t o sunlight. Fabrics with a high percentage of gum are, in general, more resistant t o t h e effects of weather t h a n those containing a large amount of filler. Results indicate t h a t any of t h e fabrics tested, with t h e exception of t h e Kenyon Company fabrics, are satisfactory from t h e point of view of resistance t o weather.

THE DETERMINATION OF THE FREEZING-POINT CURVES AND DENSITIES OF DENATURED ALCOHOL-WATER MIXTURES By CLARKEE. DAVIS AND MORTIMERT. HARVEY Received December 27, 1918 INTRODUCTION

The great importance of denatured alcohol as a means of protecting t h e radiator and cooling system of automobiles, air planes, and trucks from freezing has prompted t h e authors t o undertake a n investigation of t h e freezing-point curve of mixtures of completely denatured alcohol and water. This information is necessary in order t o determine how much denatured alcohol should be added in order t o secure protection t o a particular temperature. While t h e curve for mixtures of ethyl alcohol and water has been previously investigated, we have found no record of any work on completely denatured alcohol-water mixtures. The object of this investigation has been t o determine t h e temperatures at which equilibrium exists in systems in which t h e liquid phase is composed ofcompletely denatured alcohol and water and in which t h e solid phase is ice.
