Plant 8 agrees that this should be investigated further. . I have suggested th&t both plants run split samples of the series of a'oolors, i.e. -roelors 1242, 1240, 1254 and 1S60. This would tell us if our deviations were all In the Same direction over a wide range of viscosities*; ; ^ \ .. ../, .V-\ ... ; .,;. . - - ' ' ?' > V .

I realine that the first tendency la to let Plant B eolve their own problems since their analysis are the ones that do not agree with General Electric. Jfevertheleae, we need to have agreement between on own company laboratories on the name sample at least. Therefore, 1 suggest that we oontinue to cooperate in this matter* ': : My suggestion is to agree to the sending of samples for analysis at Atmiston and coapure results with plant B.
