July 30, 1925. 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 lind 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-EDI Enclosure.
