Abstract
PROBABLY no one in this country is more competent to write on intermediate products than Dr. Cain, and the fact that a new edition of this book has been called for within a year is the best testimony to its success. The opportunity has been taken to improve certain sections and to,incorporate new work, most of which, it is of interest to note, originates now in America. It is gradually being realised that intermediates are the crux of the dye situation, and the wisdom of the policy adopted in this direction by British Dyes, Ltd., in building their new factory at Hud-dersfield is becoming apparent. Given the inter mediates, the manufacture of the several dyes is usually a fairly straightforward problem, but there is still much leeway to make up in connection with intermediates, which will require the most ample resources, alike in capital, plant, and technical experience. This will take considerable time to fructify, and some form of closer co-operation with the heavy chemical trade would appear most desirable.
