| In my opinion, the ambiguity is exacerbated because the report fails to state, without equivocation, whether or not the can of paint modifier is empty-which is how the reservoir that "carried" the hydraulic fluid was described. | In my opinion, the ambiguity is exacerbated because the report fails to state, without equivocation, whether or not the can of paint modifier is empty-which is how the reservoir that "carried" the hydraulic fluid was described. | ||
| - | Data given by the National Bureau of Standards from Page 12 of the C.A.B report: **"The carbon deposits taken from both the free fall items and under floor wreckage at the crash site were identified as being the produce of incomplete combustion of saturated aliphatic hydrocarbons. Examples of this type of fuel are kerosene, gasoline, paraffin, hydraulic fluid, lighter fluid and naptha. Of these examples, only kerosene, hydraulic fluid, and lighter fluid were know to be aboard the aircraft. The lighter fluid was not known to be aboard in sufficient quantity to produce the amount of fire experienced. Kerosene in the form of engine fuel and hydraulic fluid were aboard the aircraft in quantity."** | + | Data given by the National Bureau of Standards from Page 12 of the C.A.B report: **"The carbon deposits taken from both the free fall items and under floor wreckage at the crash site were identified as being the produce of incomplete combustion of saturated aliphatic hydrocarbons.

| - | This brings me to the use of the words, //paint modifier////Italic Text//. I have been a painter/contractor for all of my life. I have worked with every type of manufactured coating imaginable. Never have I used, or heard used, "modifier" to describe any type of paint additive. When I first came across the word "modifier", I assumed that someone from the United Kingdom had coined that word. After reading Dr. Graham's report and posting excerpts of his findings in a previous article, I noticed that he, whom I assume resided in the UK in 1964, used the words //paint thinner//, instead of paint modifier. | + | This brings me to the use of the words, //paint modifier//.

| The naphtha mentioned above, an example of a saturated aliphatic hydrocarbon, was omitted as an example of what was known to have been on board the aircraft. Naphtha is an available product for use as a paint and varnish thinner or "modifier". | The naphtha mentioned above, an example of a saturated aliphatic hydrocarbon, was omitted as an example of what was known to have been on board the aircraft.
