In fact, these production patents never were used -by M. D. C. and so the limitation never came' into effect, Thev were never used in this country until Basic Magnesium took them up for a Deiense Plant, Corporation contract, But, regardless of tnat, Dow "was not a party to the Aiig contract and knew nothing of it and the limitation did not apply at.all the I.
