LACQUER FOR SOLID TIRE STEEL RIMS. 



The specifications of tlie United States Army, Ordnance and 

 Quartermaster's Departments require that the steel rims of solid; 

 rubber tires shall be painted with a removable waterproof anti- 

 rust material. A varnish-like preparation, known as Blue Re- 

 movable Lacquer, originally prepared for protecting the bright 

 parts of machinery, has been found to meet perfectly the speci- 

 fied requirements. This coating gives a blue semi-transparent 

 coating and protects the metal from rusting while in transit. 

 It may be removed with kerosene, gasoline, or turpentine, even- 

 two years after it is applied.
