150 THE JOURNAL OF INDUSTRIAL AND ENGINEERING CHEMISTRY. Mar., 1909 action is not so very simple is shown by the fact, that according to conditions of operating or to modified quantities of reacting materials, very different results may be obtained; so that bodies very unlike in chemical and physical properties may be produced by starting from the same raw materials. Some of these so-called condensation products are soluble in water, other ones are crystalline, while some others are amorphous and resin-like. Then again, among the latter resinous prod-ucts some are easily fusible and soluble in alcohol or similar solvents while other ones are totally insoluble in all solveñts and infusible. This paper will deal with a product of the latter class. The complexity of my subject compels me to make a brief historical outline which will allow us to form a clearer idea of the scope of my work and differentiate it from prior or contemporary at-tempts in subjects somewhat similar. That phenols and aldehydes react upon each other was shown as far back as 1872 by Ad. Bayer and others. 1The substances obtained by these investigators were merely of theoretical interests and no attempt was made to utilize them commercially; further-more their method of preparation was too ex-pensive and too uncertain andthe properties of some of their resinous products were too undecided to suggest the possibility of utilizing them for technical purposes..
