ADDRESS ADDRESS DATE
Cincinnati Detroit June 14,-1946
At ny request our Technical Service Department has
made 3 surrey covering the use of appliances burning gasoline.
The survey shows that between 75 and 90? of appliances are
made by three or four large companies and that the appliances
themselves include stoves, heaters, torches, and lanterns.
Ve have seen the advertising literature of most of these companies, and several advertise appliances .which they els in will use leaded gasoline. A large number are definitely stated to recuire unleaded fuel.
