COPY 565 CENTRAL AVENUE EAST ORANGE, N. J. June 17th, 1921. Dear Mr. Roeder:- MyNM Your letter June 15th on hand. Forwarding of checks in the way practiced during my past connection with R. L. M. will be perfectly satisfactory to me. Sorry I could not attend matter of Bilstein any sooner since I just arrived this noon from out the town trip. It it is desirable I would talk over the matter of changing the grades of undark with Bilstein and after several samples are made and compared by me, 1 would suggest what I would do in the case. Be it under- stood, however, that the fact does not need to be considered as intrusion on my part. Comparison of old and new material off hand and roughly speaking would look as follows:- Old Mkrgr New D 100 75 E 66.6 55 F 50 40 G 33.3 27 or 25 H 25 = 9M I 16.6 16.6 J 12.5 12.5 1 using new zinc and maintaining its quality constant or (it is hard to do that in present zinc lab.) selecting only suitable zinc - that is rejecting any run not coming up to quality - will make this reduction = 2 $ practical, and will give same luminosity as older ratio - in grades down to H. From that point downward I would not decrease at present amount of Meso since Mr. Bilstein is not acquainted yet with tricks how to overcome difficulties arising in case of lower grades. In graduation as above, you will notice also that material H does not have right to exist, since you would have 2 identical grades G and H to deal with. Of course lower grades could be slightly modified also. Regarding Dr. Moriarta, I expect to see him next week but I cannot say whether I will be of any help in view of his iddosyncrasy to company - due to fact that I am not there any more. With regards, Yours, (Signed) Dr. S. A. Sochocky.
