This report consisted of 9 reports. Report No. 1 was about Elmore Metall A. G., Schlandern on Siegburg. Two divisions of works in this factory were: (1) tube-drawing section for copper, steel, and zinc, with old machinery; (2) a section making electrolytically-deposited copper cylinders up to 100'' diameter, of high purity and excellent mechanical properties. The electrolytically-deposited copper cylinders were produced in lead-lined wooden tanks. Report No. 2 was about H. Krantz Maschinenfabrik, Aachen. This firm specialized in hydro-extractors, confined to types suitable for laundries and textile work. The machines built were of sizes from 800 mm to 1,8000 mm basket diameter. Report No. 3 was about O. Doerries A. G., Vorm Banning, and Seyfold Duren. This firm specialized in paper-making machinery, including centrifugal grit extractors for the treatment of paper stock. Erkensators number 4 and number 4L were compared in this report. Reports No. 4 and No. 5 were about I. G. Farbenindustrie, Dormagen, and Elberfeld. General information about the continuously-operating centrifuges was given. Report No. 6 was about Glanstoff Courtald between Cologne and Dormagen, where they used two methods of extracting water from viscose cakes, (1) by multiple-hinged candle hydro-extractors, and (2) by converted spinning pots. Report No. 7 was about Matthers and Weber, Duisberg, and gave general information about two kinds of centrifuges, (1) for crude bi-carbonate, and (2) for refined bi-carbonate. Report No. 8 was about Westfalia Separator A. G., Oelde; where the high-speed centrifuges of the ''cream separator'' or Laval type were made.
