Letter from LP to E. B. Coe. [Coe's letter to LP October 22, 1939] [Filed under LP Correspondence: Box #200, Folder #200.4]

October 25, 1939

Mr. E. B. Coe

Rte. 3, Bx. 37

Visalia, California

Dear Mr. Coe:

A thin coating of silver, applied with the usual silvering solution, will convert a piece of glass into a semi-transparent mirror which behaves like a mirror when viewed from the side which is brightly-lighted but which is transparent when viewed from the dark side.

The new process of coating mirrors with aluminum does not involve painting but instead vaporization of aluminum in a vacuum.

I trust this supplies the information you desire.

Very truly yours,

Linus Pauling
