Sehr geehrter Herr Doctor!
Für die Zusendung Ihrer Arbeit über Platinkatalyse danke ich bestens; sie hat mich sehr interessiert, besonders auch in ihrem historischen Theil. Auf Ihren Wunsch hin hat Dr. Albert Presssaft einerseit mit CO gesättigt, anderseits einige Stückchen gelben Phosphors zugesetzt. Eine Abnahme von

Gaskraft war nicht wahrzunehmen:
20 ccm Saft ohne Zusatz gaben nach 68 Stund. 1,71 g CO2
" " mit CO gesättigt " " 1,70 " "
" " mit etwas gelbem Phosphor " " 1,65 " " .
Die Unterschiede liegen innerhalb der Fehlergrenzen.
Bestens grüssend

Dear Dr. Bredig,
Thank you very much for sending your paper on platinum catalysis. I found it very interesting, especially its historical part. At your request, Dr. Albert saturated the CO and additionally added a few pieces of yellow phosphate. A decrease in

gas pressure was not noticeable.
After 68 hours, 20 ccm of extract without additives yielded 1.71g of CO2
" " saturated with CO " " 1.70 " "
" " with some yellow phosphate " " 1.65 " ".
The differences are within the margins of error.
