[Majestic XII]

Im reading Industrial technology in school right now and got an assignment to write about.. well... how you make stuff and what you use.

Im sitting here with an old telephone from the 60-70s and i need to find out what kind of plastic it is. Could someone here help me out?

Its not bakelite. Bakelite was used earlier. I think its some sort of Polystyrene.

Bake a lite... I know it was used during the 60's and 70's because the first M-16 was made of it.

Its made from covinshubpeknal, some of the alien polymers that recovered from the roswell crash in the 40's.

no, it's not bake a lite, it would weigh a ton if it was. My parents still have one ...yes,it's a rotary phone. It's plastic is too soft to be bake a lite
