1600.8—Transcript, recording or minutes; availability to the public.
The designation “steam distilled wood turpentine” shall refer to the kind of spirits of turpentine obtained by steam distillation from the oleoresinous component of wood whether in the presence of the wood or after extraction from the wood, and commonly known prior to the passage of the act as wood turpentine, steam distilled turpentine, steam distilled wood turpentine, or S. D. wood turpentine.
It shall be deemed impracticable under the act to loan additional duplicates to any person who has permitted duplicates previously loaned to him, without security, to become lost, damaged, or destroyed, if in the opinion of the Administrator, such loss, damage, or destruction resulted from any failure on the part of the interested person or his agent to take suitable precaution to prevent the loss, damage, or destruction, or when the available supply of duplicates is deemed insufficient to warrant the loan of additional duplicates to such person.
On the death of any person, or the dissolution or reorganization of any partnership, firm, or corporation, holding any duplicates of the United States Standards for rosin, they shall be promptly returned to the Administrator by the holder thereof.
The security deposit received from any person to whom duplicates of the United States Standards for rosin have been loaned will be held in the special deposit account of the Department, and the same will be returned to the person from whom received, or his legal representative, on surrender of the duplicates secured thereby: Provided, That before refund is made the cost of any repairs or replacement shall be deducted.
All moneys received or withheld to cover the cost of repairs, or of replacing any missing parts of duplicates, or as rental for duplicates, shall be paid into the United States Treasury as Miscellaneous Receipts.
The invoice or contract of sale of any naval stores in commerce shall identify and describe the article in accordance with the classification and the standard of kind and grade provided by the act or established by the Administrator.
Since no standard has been provided for a mixture of two or more kinds of spirits of turpentine, the sale in commerce of any such mixture is prohibited under any designation.
It shall be deemed unlawful under any condition to sell, under or by reference to any United States Standard for naval stores, as provided by the act and defined in the regulations in this part, any article which fails to conform with such standard in all respects: Provided, That the phrase “under or by reference to United States Standards” as it appears in the act and the regulations in this part, shall include the use of any words, letters, brands, labels, or marks constituting any of the United States Standards for naval stores on any container of naval stores, on anything attached to or supplied therewith on delivery, or on any inspection, sale, or shipping record or invoice, in describing the kind, classification, or grade of the naval stores covered thereby.
It shall be deemed unlawful to use in commerce the word “turpentine” or a compound, derivative or imitation thereof, or any word or combination of words which are a part of a United States Standard for any kind of spirits of turpentine, to describe in any manner a mixture of spirits of turpentine with any other oil or solvent.
The use of the word “turpentine” or the word “rosin” is not prohibited in the name of an article made, prepared, or processed from spirits of turpentine or rosin, or to indicate the process whereby such article was made or prepared: Provided, That this section shall not apply to any article covered by § 160.87.
A compound or mixture containing spirits of turpentine or rosin, or both, with other drugs, when sold for medicinal purposes, is not subject to the provisions of the Naval Stores Act or of the provisions in this part.
