AD-X2: Difference between revisions

AD-X2 was launched by the company Pioneers, Inc. on the market in 1947. They never [[patent]]ed the product; they have chosen to keep it a [[trade secret]] instead. In 1948, Ritchie learned about a pamphlet named Letter Circular  302 by NBS, which was being circulated among battery users. Pioneers, Inc. wrote a letter to the NBS and told them that AD-X2 is actually beneficial and told them to test the product because Letter Circular  302 was then outdated, since it was written in 1931. Also, the company had the support of the Oakland Better Business Bureau (OBBB) in [[Oakland, California]], since apparently his customers in the area were satisfied.

In 1948, George W. Vinal, chief of the electrochemistry section of the Electricity Division at NBS, who learned the thing about battery additives over and over again, put the letter written by Pioneers, Inc., aside. The NBBB, which has written about ''Facts About Battery Dopes'', put pressure on Vinal to issue an up-to-date revision of Letter Circular  302. Meanwhile, the OBBB, which is where Pioneers, Inc. was based, put pressure on Vinal to test AD-X2. Also in the late 1948, Senator [[William Knowland]] from Oakland, also requested tests to Vinal.
