This was first worked out under the name of the Potsdamer method, in the laboratory of Toch Brothers, Inc., Long Island City, more than thirteen years ago.

Additional information
The article that follows appears as a chapter in the third and most recent edition of a book by the author, entitled Chemistry and Technology of Paints. The paper deserves to rank as the most complete, up-to-date and authoritative discussion of China Wood Oil that has been published. To quote Dr. Toch: “Our viewpoint on China Wood Oil has been largely changed, due primarily to investigations of the growth of the tung oil tree and the collection and expression of the seeds, and for the further reason that the transplantation of the tung oil tree on a large scale in the United States has given us an oil which differs materially from that which we have considered standard China Wood Oil.” The importance of the work, specially as it affects the paint industry, is such that we have secured permission to reprint part of the chapter from the author and from the publishers, D. Nostrand & Company, New York.—The EDITOR.
