NOTE BOOK

A note book entitled “Brabag” – Communications issued by Braunkohle-Benzin A.G. from the files of Dr. Hausmann. The note book contains 243 pages and is divided into 16 sections, which deals mainly with petroleum (natural and synthetic) and related processes.  The communications are short abstracts of the literature and patents on the interests as shown in the 16 sections and cover the years 1939-1944. Some references to German journals are included which are not generally available in the U.S. during the war years.  A substantially different (and much more complete) copy of the above – substituting – Dr. Vollmer – for Dr. Hausmann also appears.
