More interesting is that in 1929 experiments were done with coating the cartridges with a special wax.
This was done to prevent the case from cracking due to brass corrosion. Two different processes (wax)
were tried and the boxes are marked accordingly on the top

Hi René, very interesting pictures! The waxing process, however, was not for preserving the brass from corrosion, but to allow the extraction with the Pedersen system, that required case lubrication. This was one of the "weak points" that determined the choice of Garand rifle.
