Mr. E. S. Daniells,
c/o Ingersoll Watch Co., Ltd.,
Ingersoll House,
Kingsway,
London, W. C. 2,
England.
Dear Mr. Daniells:
In order to secure the data necessary to
defend an action that has been brought against us for alleged
occupational poisoning through the application of Undark at our
Plant, we have asked Dr. Frederick B. Flinn of Columbia University
to very thoroughly investigate the industry. It is his desire to
collect all the information that he can about employees doing
similar work.
Mr. Granger of Waterbury was good enough to let
me see a letter on the subject which you wrote in answer to an inquiry
from Mr. Chase. I mentioned the information that you had given to
Dr. Flinn and this morning have received the attached letter from him.
The tests that he wants are very readily made.
A drop of blood taken usually from the lobe of the ear is all that
is required. It should be handled by a reputable pathologist. There
are plenty of them in London. We would certainly appreciate it very
greatly if you would have some one take these specimens and send the
information along to us or to Dr. Flinn direct. The charges of course
would be defrayed by us.
Waterbury Clock Company has given us the highest lcind
of co-operation in the present situation. They have agreed to allow
Dr. Flinn to personally visit the factory and examine and interview the
operators.
I will certainly very greatly appreciate your
help if you can arrange to have Dr. Flinn's suggestion carried out.
Cordially,
President.
ARoeder-HM
Enclosure.
