Additional memo from Mr. Gumbinner 3 Stencil coating

The stencil coating solution was made by Fred Generlette in the first shed.  He also ran the roller mill in the brick building that was used to grind pigments and make duplicating ink.  Originally we bought nitrocellulose used motion picture film from Cellofilm.  We kept the film rolls in a pit in the yard.  Once it went on fire.  We then bought the nitrocellulose dissolved in ethyl acetate.  When the movies went to safety film.  Cellofilm bought solvent grade nitrocellulose from Hercules and Dupont.  Both Hercules and later Dupont stopped producing nitrocellulose.  Stan Eysman made an arrangement with a French company to be the sole importer of solvent grade nitrocellulose.  Stan Eysman lived in Scotch Plains, NJ.  His wife’s uncle was Julius Boros, one of the top professional tennis players.
