painted upon the dial until mora peint was required or until the
paint on the brush dried and hardened when the brush was dipped

then be repointed in the mouth and dipped into the paint or even
repointed in such manner after being di oped into the paint itself,
in e continous process.
some girls painted an entiro dial with 5
single pointing of the brush.
some re-pointed the brush arter each

It appears that the radium used by decedent had betwoen et ght
and thirty micrograms of zadium element to one gram of zinc sulphide;
and 1,000 microgroms equal one milligram and 1,000 milligrams equal

At any rate, the maximum quantity the decedent might
have ingested was 43 micrograns of redium sulphate for each working
day. This figure is doubtless much too large. The plaintiff has
incorporated the following chart in his brier and accepts the figures
used in the third column for his purposes:
