Mr. Kiki still has not gotten it. I stand by what I have written, and not some twisted version, regurgitated for an audience that can read for themselves what I said. "Bakelite" is a registered trademark of the Bakelite Corporation. "Catalin" is likewise the registered name used by THAT company, for their product(s). The differences between Bakelite and any other dry-molded phenolic plastic, compared to any other cast-phenolic plastics has already been discussed. No amount of saying "it's all Bakelite" will change the historical facts. I repeat, I HAVE SEEN the professional announcements that were originally produced to advertise the NEW production of cast phenolics in 1926. This is how I know and am confident this is the correct year. (Not "1928" as published in some of the literature I have also reviewed, in my copious investigations to understand these issues.) JDA.
