Re: the report (Cons DistList Inst. 10:56) on the Walters Art
Gallery "successful" use of Pacific cloth.  Like any normal
conservators, the staff have obviously supplied belts and suspenders
to prevent tarnishing of their very valuable silver. IF indeed these
cases are kept at a low RH with silica gel, the lack of tarnish may
have no correlation with the Pacific cloth at all.  This is prudent
conservation practice, but doesn't qualify as a fair test!
