Walton'S letter of October U, 1?55# concerning excessive breakage encountered la the last three care shipped to the Shell Anaeortes Job, we do not feel that we hare sufficient specifio. infarction to properly consent upon the problem at this time, Ur. Walton unfortunately tied neither the car nunbere nor the . siaea and quantity of breakage by else which we f*l should neceaearily accompany a complaint of this nature for proper analyst* While w do not have loading diagrams aa such covering these care, X have carefully exaaJLnad the car loader's tolly sheets, listing the quantities by sit# and the sequence la which the fists were loaded, on the last fire care, and nowhere do I find say evidence of iwproper loading procedure W# have vectloned frequently that a 50> car is much more susceptible to tracalt damage on a croe* country haul than would be a UO* car, realising that the additional freight chargee involved wake it impractical from your viewpoint to ship other than $0' cars to the West Coast* However of the last five cars shipped to Anaeortes, the last wae a anall UO' shipped 9-28 to clean up additional order{ the fourth was a UO* shipped ?-l to clean up job at of that data; the third o*r shipped 8-30, when In lieu of an unavailable 50' a full UO* and trailar were shipped} the first and second were both full 50'e and shipped 8-26* In each instance our standard loading procedure was followed, and it did not vary from wethod used to load the several other cars previously shipped to Anacortee* We have requested that another look be taken at our present car loading procedure, in view of complaint* fron various destinations throughout the country, with which you are fasdliur". We would appreciate Tt~if you would secure detailed and specific information on this Shell breakage complaint. We feel it would be very helpful in evaluating our present loading procedure particularly <m 50' cox*. Incidentally, we have no record of ever receiving the drawing submitted by One Ingram of Loa Angelas, Penco, describing how proper loading ahould be effected. Perhaps you have this drawing in your file* sm 00 TO
