July 11th,1929.
Dr. Herman Schlundt,
Tripp Hall,
University of Wisconsin,
Madison, Wis.
Dear Dr. Schlundt:
We were mighty glad to receive your last
letter of July 7th, enclosing expense account and copies of
letters which Mr. Barker gave to you before sailing.
We are much interested in the probable
test which the Illinois Watch Company will ask you to make on
their operators and plant generally at Springfield.
We have never favored the dusting process
on account of the possibility of radium ingestion through
breathing - but it is rather a difficult thing for us to
put over with the various users, since other forms of applica-
tion require more material and, it looks as if we frown on the
dusting method in order to increase our business. Of course,
this is not the case, for if we believed the dusting process
the proper one that is exactly what we would recommend, even
though it lowered our volume of business.
As we understand it the dusting method may
effect departments of a watch factory other than that of the
application room. For instance in the dialing and casing
Departments brushes are used to wipe of the dials and, it is
our belief that a considerable amount of material might be
loosened in this manner.
Should you go to the Illinois Watch Company
we suggest that you follow the various operations and make tests
of the air from the dusting room until the watch is finally
boxed for shipment.
Trusting this finds you well settled in your
summer's work, which no doubt will be very pleasant, I am
Cordially yours,
President.
