Letters Sent to Dr. Herman Schlundt, December 11, 1931

December 11th, 1931. Dr. Herman Schlundt, University of Missouri, Columbia, Mo. Dear Dr. Schlundt: Your letter of the 9th, relative to additional chambers for the contemplated work at Elgin is at hand. I took the liberty of calling Dr. Flinn, advising him that you expected to make these tests and inquired whether or not he would be disposed to loan you his instruments. He stated that he has three usable instruments available, two practically new and one which has been in use for some time. The natural drift of the new instruments is extremely low, approximately .001, while the older instrument has a natural drift of approxinately .06. Inasmuch as Dr. Flinn's work in testing people is current he is rather disposed to ratain one of the new instruments, but stated that he would be glad to send the other new instrument and the old one to you. I assured him you would appreciate his coopera- tion in this matter. I told him that I would advise you of his offer and suggest to you that you communicate directly with him, and make arrangements to have the instruments shipped to either Chicago or Columbia, whichever would be most desirable from you standpoint. I went so far as to tell Dr. Flinn that I felt in the event that anything happened to either one of these instruments that you would stand ready to replace same. I took the liberty of calling Dr. Flinn regarding this matter inasmuch as it is rather a short time now until you will need them, and in order that there should be no delay in making your tests everything should be arranged well in advance. Sincerely yours, Vice President. HHBarker:Rh
