Internal correspondence from J. E. Skvarla to P. J. Colpoys reporting that an experimental 180 lb lot of oil well weighting agent made from King City plant tailings had been shipped. It lists the lot's specifications against the required ones, gives settling-rate data, and estimates that 15-17% of the tailings could be recovered as weighting agent, with other fractions possibly usable in dry wall cements and as a fertilizer filler.
