Colonel Heath, Commander of Frankford Arsenal, informs Chief of Ordnance Brigadier General Crozier that antimony is not used in bullet cores constructed at the Frankford Arsenal. He has no Union Metallic cartridges on hand, but he has a record of their chemical analysis from May 1906 which shows their bullet cores being 8.36% antimony. Since the Union Metallic Company Cartridges were sent directly from the company’s manufacturer to Watervilet Arsenal, Heath suggests performing a chemical analysis of those bullets.
