Carbon Tetrachloride was used for cleaning everything, perchloroethylene was the original solvent for 'White Out' fluids, we used to wash our hands in benzene in garages and labs to get the tarry or really heavy grease stuff off, we were supposed to wash our BABIES in Hexachlorophene , for ____ sake, (remember Phiso-Hex?) to keep them sanitized. One of the popular sore-throat lozenges had chloroform as the active ingredient (they really worked, too) and we washed our cuts with Mercurochrome (try mercury and hexavalent chromium - tincture of Merthiolate), and before that it was calomel for headaches (mercury, too - an alchemist era name for mercurous chlorides). Vermillion pigment was mercuric sulfide (HgS) and a high-grade and desirable paint pigment. I mentioned, yesterday, that chloroform (and carbon tetrachloride) and benzene were highly toxic. They attack the liver, causing a high-degree of a rare cirrhosis and potentially an aggressive cancer. Dose-response curves are difficult to generate, but currently the Maximum Contaminant Level allowed in public drinking water for Benzene or Carbon Tet in the U.S. is 5 micrograms per liter - 5 parts per billion. This is very low, but may go lower. Air exposure is at less than 1 part per million, and that is just because the OSHA lists take a virtual act of the Almighty to update. These are the supposed 'safe exposure' levels, based on statistical risks for specific time periods (such as, 10 glasses of water a day for over thirty years, 24-7-365 or 40 hours a week in eight hour work days over 35 years.) Since liver transplants are expensive, in selected hospitals, and are still relatively unlikely to have a great success rate, be careful with the one you were born with.

But to be serious about this serious topic: You are absolutely right with what you said, Mark. However it is not necessary to use all of that chemical stuff. I restrict it to a strict minimum and use protections. I use a carbon filter mask when working with toxic deluting agents and I use dust masks when sanding a lot of resin parts. To protect my eyes I use goggles indeed which is very important when working with the little circular saw blades or grinders in motor tools. The room should be well ventilated and one should take frequent breaks to take a sniff of fresh air. To wash models before painting them I use nothing else but soap water because I see no reason why to use any chemicals for that. To solve decals I use lukewarm water with a few drops of vinegar which is non-toxic. And of the chemicals I use, not a drop will be carelessly thrown into the drain but brought to the recycling center and special waste collection. Working with such stuff is a matter of common sense IMHO. Before using chemicals one should always think first if one really NEEDS that stuff. sincerely Gaston Graf (ggraf@vo.lu) Meet the Royal Prussian Fighter Squadron 2 "Boelcke" at: http://www.jastaboelcke.de ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 29 Mar 2001 15:23:15 -0600 From: "Mark Shannon" To: Subject: Re: Adhesives, etc. Message-ID: Monsieur Matt wrote: >> People really did believe in better living through chemistry before it became a hippie by-word. >Hey, stop with the depressing stuff! This is supposed to be a happy modeler's area. To which I say that it has been a long week, I still have a day more of work, including an evening tonight of rehearsal for Carmen, and I haven't been feeling well (blast those promiscuous fornicating oaks and molds). On the plus side, I think I have a good base mix in Humbrols for the Methuen 25B5 light blue/turquoise color that Messrs. Grosz and Rimell suggest for German aircraft. 15 parts #65 Hellblau 5 parts #03 Brunswick Green 1 part #14 French Blue. This is near-as-makes no difference to the 24325 color Ian Huntley suggests as a match to 25B5, which, given the imprecision in Methuen and the knowledge of the actual colors of the time, sounds good to me. (I got three Albatrii (two D.III and one D.V) to spray - finally ready). .Mark. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 29 Mar 2001 15:46:23 -0600 From: "Matt Bittner" To: "wwi@wwi-models.org" Subject: Eduard p/e seats Message-ID: <3AC0FEE400121013@mail01.san.yahoo.com> (added by postmaster@mail01.san.yahoo.com) Lubos has added scans of Eduard's new p/e seats to his VAMP site.

First of all, you can find a photo and a short summary under http://www.theaerodrome.com/aces/germany/bethge.html To be a little more specific than that source, Bethge served with Brieftauben-Abteilung Ostende, which the became Kampfgeschwader 1. Later moved to Kampfeinsitzerkommando (KEK) Berincourt, which became Jasta 1 on August 22, 1916. Moved to Jasta 30 as Staffelfuehrer on January 14, 1917 (first Staffelfuehrer of that unit). Killed in Pfalz D IIIa 5888/17 in air combat with a British twoseater March 17, 1918 over Paschendaele. As for his aircraft: Bruno Schmaeling claimed that Bethge flew two similarly marked D IIIa´s while Staffelfuehrer of Jasta 30. His second machine was later taken over by Lt. Erich Kaus (with the crosses changed from Iron Cross to Balkenkreuz). Schmaeling corresponded with Kaus, who claimed the aircraft was painted "white and mice grey" and not silbergrau and black, as usually displayed (eg, Windsock Datafile).

I would rate these books as excellent. Especially the Jasta colors section (done by Greg van Wyngarden) is superb, and there are lots of unpublished or at least very rare photos included. However, nothing on the "Sieben Schwaben" yet. The Jasta coverage has only arrived at Jasta 46 in Anthology II, so they might be included in Anthology III only, which will (beside the Albatros build D VII's) concentrate on Jastas 47 to 80. However, there is some good coverage of the 7 Swabians in some WS magazines from a few years ago (not sure which one - I'm at work at this moment) and in an OtF magazine (vol 6, IIRC) in the colors section, dealing with the D VII.

Message-ID: <004e01c0b8d4$e48e9160$54153ccc@oemcomputer> Thanks Peter. I enlarged my plans to 1/48 scale today (from the Aircraft Archive vol.3) and the upper wings appear to be the correct outline, about 1/8" short between the center section & wing panels. I should be able to add a shim between the center section & wings, then a lot of sanding, replacing ribs in center section, scratchbuilding fuselage & tailsurfaces, add an Aeroclub LeRhone, wheels & guns, carve struts from wood, scratchbuild interior, and have a decent Nieuport 12! Now to get datafile #68!
