When a stabilized urea complex is used as a secondary accelerator, excellent aging resistance is attained. Fully compounded stocks possess good storage stability, suggesting the desirability of N,N-dirnethyl-te~t-butylsulfenyl dithiocarbamate in camelback. Tire test data indicate that tread compounds accelerated with N,N-dimethyl-led-butylsulfenyl dithiocarbamate and cyclohexylbenzothiazylsulfenamide give essentially equivalent road wear performance.

CORRESPONDENCE Thermal Conductivity of Granulated Beds SIR: Dr. Strickler’s ( 4 ) communication regarding a thermal conductivity equation for granulated beds pointed out the scarcity of data with which to check his relations. I n discussing that communication, Dr. Schneider ( 3 )suggested that certain experimental difficulties would be avoided if liquids were employed in place of gases as previously used. Having made a few measurements with liquids (or rather gels), I would like to show that these indicated agreement with the general equation.

The apparatus, technique and complete data concerning these measurements are presented elsewhere (1, 2). I n these teEts the ’ agar solid material was dispersed in water to which 2 weight % was added. The resulting gel prevented sedimentation, convection currents, and the necessity for contact among particles. Therefore, the conductivity of a two-phase system instead of a granulated bed was measured and Fz of Strickler’s development would be expected to be nearly zero. If Strickler’s F1is assumed to be 1, the measured conductivities may be compared with those calculated by Strickler’s Equation 1. Such a comparison is prel and confirm sented in Table I. The results indicate F1 t o be e the adequacy of the basic relation for simple systems. LITERATURE CITED
