Dear Dr. Letham
Impinger .
I would not claim that the Impinger is the best instrument for use in counting in the mining industry but in so far as the Asbestos industry is concerned it appears | to be a great improvement on the Konimeter -
Mr. Brisbane wrote me a fantastic letter the gist or which was that the Konimeter was the most practical intrument
counting was
of concentrations
mainly of propaganda value
were impossible to obtain
and accurate estimations
This attitude may
explain the significant failure of the Mines Department to reduce
the incidence of silicosis
Yours faithfully
