Mr. Howard H. Barker,
Vice President,
United States Radium Corporation,
535 Pearl St.,
New York, N. Y.
Dear Mr. Barker:
Professor Schlundt of the University of Missouri
says that the U. S. Radium Corporation is importing a
Walf bifilar electroscope of the Hess type and he thought
that you would be willing to let us have the use of this
instrument until we could obtain one. As you know, we
are about to start on a study of the effects of radium
upon those who work in the watch dial industry and we are
anxious to get our instruments together as quickly as
possible. You may know I have just returned from spend-
ing three weeks with Prof. Lind and Prof. Erikson of the
University of Minneapolis. While there I saw one of the
Wulf bifilar electroscopes in use by Dr. Stenstrom of the
University Hospital, and I was very much impressed by it.
If it is possible for you to lend us your in-
strument until we get our own, it will be very greatly
appreciated. We would, of course, either return your in-
strument, or send you a new one when we receive it,
whichever you prefer.
Sincerely yours,
James E. was
