SUBJEOT >o Canal Street, CLEVELAND, April 12til. 1892 * *1 i.:r. H. A. dher-vin, President, City. i.ly Dear dir;- As an additional to the detailed report heretofore made you on the Dahl lead, I take pleasure m jivmj you my jeneral xm- prcscions of it now. The Dalil lead as received from Caicajo, varies a jreat deal in specific jravity, physical characteristics, amount of moisture contained, color and body. Some of the lead was extremely heavy, even heavier than the Dutch lead. These variations ere so many and so praat, as to seriously hamper us m making our tests. The first unfavorable report which was made on the lead `was due to the fact that the joods on which the report was made, wer ^ 'reIs of lead that were not up to the standard. It would seem to >ac that if this lead could be furnished identi cal in quality and characteristics with the small saiple furnished us last summer and wi,th some of the barrels that we have examined, that it mi Jit be made very available for S.W.F When a Lead is rijht for that purpose,it shows^m accordance with the detailed re port, a saving of in the neighborhood of 10/ per jallon. It would seem to me that the question of the controlability of the process would be one of the most important things to consider 0007-SWP--043 386 N23205 Su b j e c t io o Canal Street. CLEVELAND, ^ April 12 til. 1892. H. A. o. ---2--- beioi"> cornu;j bo any nee if. ion with reference to its use. If the process is such tmi t tiie quality can ue easily and economically con- trollrd, well ,uu, i5oou: if it is not and if under careful manipula tion, ai ffc ranees of tins kind are liable to occur, the process will be simply valueless. Of course the economy of the process as coTtj.ored with Lhe old process, would also have to be thoroughly jone into, out consiuermj the matter simply from the standpoint of the .i.-.rks, t.-.is matter of variation seems to be the most important. Yours very truly, `. - :,vf , 0007--SWP-043387 0007-SWP-000126733
