Bob, Thanks for the offer! I finally found a copy and Google Translate did a pretty good job on it, and we have a person in the lab who, it turns out, can read german, so I think we are set.
As an aside, the "clues" I got from tidbits of the procedure mentioned in other papers turned out to have little basis in reality to the original method described in the paper (concentrations, times, temperatures all different!), so I'm glad I found the original.

"I've found many references to it, but none that give the procedure. And the original paper is from 1955 not easily available. And is in German." If you can get the paper, I can read it for you.
