November 26th,1929.
Dr. Herman Schlundt,
University of Missouri,
Columbia, ão.
Dear Dr. Schlundt:
Both lir. Armstrong and Dr. John seem to be rather anxious
for a summary of the data taken while we were in Chicago, and I am again
calling this to your attention for 1 presume that they will continue to
make inquiry until some information has been received.
1 would suggest that copies of whatever information you see
fit to send these gentlemen be sent to both Dr. John and Mr. Armstrong.
Dr. John's address is -
Dr. Findley D. John,
1309 Field Annex Bld
Chicago, Ill.
ir. Armstrong's address is -
H. N. Armstrong, Radium Extension Service,
185 N. Wabash Ave.,
Chicago, Ill.
Since writing you on Friday of last week, I have had some
further reactions from Dr. Flinn which have more or lesa convinced me that
Dr. Flinn is not desirous of cooperating in any joint publications with either
you
or
me.
I am at a loss to understand Dr. Flinn's attitude with regerd to
this situation, but in order that you may be aware of some of the things with
which we are confronted allow me to quote a paragraph from a recent letter of
Dr. Flinn's addressed to our office:
"The electroscopic tests as far as the Wulf
machine is concerned is unsatisfactory because of its very
rapid leak. This is the fastest it has ever been. I
hawe noticed it acting irregularly other times when it
was returned after Dr. Schlundt had used it, but laid
it to the disturbances of transportation. Even on the
second day when I examined the young men it was just as
active."
This letter was occasioned by some tests which he made on
one of our employees engaged in the application of luminous material to watch
dials, and was made after my return to New York.
I feel quite satisfied that the best procedure for us to
follow is to treat Dr. Flinn most courteous whenever he has occasion to consult
with us, but that we should give careful consideration before presenting any
