For those inquiring minds:

Glyptal 1201 Red Enamel (is) was produced by General Electric, use
primarily as an electrical insulating material.  Application was by brush,
spray (with appropriate Thinner) flow or dipping.  The most frequent use
was dipping of transformer core & coil assemblies.  

Other than the possible use by Salisbury division of Dana Corp. on the
center castings of Tiger rear ends, the most practical use has been on the
inside of high performance engines.  I painted my ski boat engine  over 28
years ago, and when it finally gave up with a cracked piston skirt last
summer, there was absolutely no sludge buildup inside the motor.  Just as
clean as it was when assembled long ago.  My quart of Glyptal, used on that
motor is still in good condition after stirring and proper agitation.  This
is the kind of great product we un-knowingly lose in the name of the
environment.

It was available from industrial suppliers as little as 5 years ago but the
current EPA and air quality regulations probably preclude finding it
anywhere in California.
