My dear Barker:
Your letter arrived this morning deal-
ing with the probable dates for going to Elgin. I am
very glad that you are thinking about this and think-
ing about it early so that definite arrangements can
be made. As far as I a.m concerned, I shall be free
to be in Elgin on December 22d to 24th or from Decem-
ber 28th to 3lst. I shall be available on either one
of these two sets of three successive days; I am assum-
ing that the tests can all be made in three days.
Let me ask whether or not you yourself
are planning to come to Elgin to participate in the
tests? I hope that you will and also that you will ar-
range to bring with you one or two ionization chambers.
We have two or three ionization chambers, but they
have been used constantly for radium determinations so
that their natural drift is just a little higher than
I would like to see for these leterminations of activi- -
ty in expired air, which generally is very low. If you
are not planning to come west for these tests, I wish
to suggest that I take with me Mr. Paul Morris who has
been engaged this fall in making tests on expired air
for radioactivity among our workers in the refining
laboratory. I shall speak to Mr. Morris in a day or
so to find out whether he can make arrangements to
make this trip.
With best of good wishes, I remain,
Sincerely yours,
Herman Schhundt
Herman Schlundt.
