Some formularies from about that time list prices -- many times higher for
the green. So at whichever point green actually arrived, it wasn't in mind
or used much for a while. Somewhere I 've filed the first mention I came
across, lost at this moment in the haystack, needless to say. As I recall,
though, I mentioned it here, so it would be in archive. But all the
magazines (sigh, so many in those days) covered the ground more or less at
the same time. Otherwise it was old news.
I notice by the way that in the first decade or two of the century, many
of the American magazines had a digest of articles from other sources,
especially German and English. Anybody know if they got permission, and/or
paid for those, or did they just feel free?

And I will offer a free gift (to be announced) to anyone who can make any
of them work except with tannic acid (OK or Bob Schramm's lead, since I'm
a trusting soul & take his word). Forget gallic acid, which will give you
some effect pro tem, but within a year or three turn to mud.
