Benignus Monsanto Company 800 N. Lindbergh Boulevard St. Louis, Missouri 63166 Dear Paul: At the recent ASTM meeting in Chicago you expressed a willing ness to come to Pittsfield to discuss askarels (Pyranols to us) and askarel transformer applications with us. Mr. Bruce Gravitt, Manager - Marketing for the Distribution Transformer Department, feels that such a meeting could be mutually beneficial and suggests that your visit be scheduled for some time during the week of July 27 - 31. At that time we would be interested in hearing what information you have gathered from utilities, contractors, your South American jaunt, etc. If the suggested week is satisfactory, let me know as soon as possible what specific day. On another subject, we are interested in obtaining test samples of dodecyl benzene. Your July 1 letter suggests two grades. No. 122 and No. 225. If possible I would like about five gallons of each in order to determine certain electrical and physical properties. Can you supply this? Incidentally, what is the significance of the "hard" and "soft" terminology. ; ' / STLCOPCB4060016
