The latest part added to this article seems to be an advert for another company, but this one is much more prominent. This is not what Wikipedia is supposed to be about. 85.210.19.117

In the 1960's John Elliis The Chemist of W Hawley& Son Ltd togerther with Sefton Hawley of the same company developed a silicate based brick tinting medium which is the basis of the brick tinters most comonly used today. This statement can be verified by contacting Mr Ellis who retired from his position as Technical Director of the same company some 6 years ago, I have his contact details!

There was no intention too advertise as we did not include any web details unlike others who seem to have passed scrutiny!

Additional Advertising Spotted

References needed
I removed everything except the lead sentence defining the term. The article has been tagged as unreferenced since June 2006. I could not find reliable sources verifying any of the other information. While a note above says the engineer can be contacted, that is not a published, verifiable, third party source, as needed by Wikipedia's wp:verifiable and wp:reliable standards. The only really good info I can find is on commercial websites advertising brick-tinting services, which would not be reliable sources, and a patent application, which is a questionable primary source. There was no mention of the term in books or journal articles that I found, and only a couple mentions in news media. Someone from the masonry industry may have access to more industry-specific journals or books that could add useful information. If so, please be sure to add references when the information is added. -Agyle 08:59, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
