GOVERNMENT INFORMATION.
Mr. C. H. Dimick.
The following information is avaidable to be used in
regard to securing Government business; this being a resume of my trip to
Frankford Arsenal and Washington January 5th to January 9th inclusive.
FRANKFORD ARSENAL. (Army)
Officer in charge of the Arsenal, Col. Rutherford,
Officer in charge of Instrument Dept., Major Walter C. Hamilton,
Man in charge of Optical Dept., which applies luminous material,
W. Bissinger, Instrument Department
Clerk of value in assisting us, Mr. Mann, Instrument Dept.
Situation at present:
Talke have been had with each of these men and I feel
certain that we will continue to have a preterence in their ordere for
luminous material as long as we merit it.
WASHINGTON, D. C. - TECHNICAL STAFF, CHIEF OF ORDNANCE,
(Fire Control Instrument Pranch)
This department works out the applications for luminous
material for the Army, carries on experimental work, makes recommendations
both 8.8 to adoption of luminous material and specifications pertaining to
luminous material. Our position with this staff is very strong, we have
outstripped our competitors entirely by winning their confidence, which is
definitely proven by the fact that we have been given, without competition,
sample order for 8 aiming sticks, which will use at least 30 grams of material
and run into several hundred dollars. This could have been given out for com-
petitive bids, 8.8 was the Navy's request for 250 luminous glass tubes.
Dr. I. C. Gardner seeme to be the Optical Expert in this
department.
W. J. Barrett, who visited our plant, is a man of technical
training and is the governing factor in securing the illumination of urdnance
instruments.
Capt. nobt. G. Cooke, Ordnance Dept., works in connection
with this department apparently, but should not be addressed except through
Darrett or Gardner, unlese necessary. Thesé three men constitute the active
men for this department, recommend for the whole Army Ordnance Department,
are absolutely partial to us, and all things being anywhere near equal, we are
assured of every consideration that they can possibly give us.
TEEHNICAL STAFF, CHIEF OF ORDNANCE,
This Technical Staff works in close cooperation with
W. E. Dorsey, radium and luminous material expert of Pureau of Standards, and
looks to Dr. Dorsey for recommendations on specifications of luminous material.
