Occupational Health Section . North Carolina State Board of Health Raleigh, North Carolina ANALYTICAL RESULTS Ve have your report of the checks made on your last visit of August 8th and also a letter from Lewis ?. Sorrell, Deputy Commissioner, Department of Labor, who was understandably disturbed by your results. Unfortunately' our operator was not able to parallel each of your tests, hut on the two tests which he did parallel ve get a great variance in our results. Our operator, as you know, was using alcohol rather than vater and on the test corresponding to your flask #3u6 he goto a du: count of 2.6. On the case of your flask where you get only 2.2, our operator got lt,3* On these automatic cop vine)era dry yarn is being -whipped around at con siderable sneed, cresting quite e bit of dust, ana ve are not satisfied ourselves with the control at this point. We would also like to point cut to you ycur flask nlUl where the - operator was working around two looms, both of which were running on vet filling ana one of them was running with wet warp. Ve feel that there must be some serious mistake in this particular reading since the count should be very, very low. Ve also feel that the counts around dry looms //51i, 55, and 57 must be in error, but we have no recent dust counts of our own for comparison. Ve are making some at once. c Ve are attaching a copy of a report I received toduy covering an average of all dust counts for the year 1955. Vo have been and will continue to be disrupted by installation of new equipment which may upset some of our dust counts, but this will be only temporary. Ve are exhausting more than 203,OCX) cubic feet of air per minute from our plant and from ^visual observations conditions appear to be greatly' improved. 110 AGREEMENT IS DltlPlKC ON THIS COMPANY UNLESS ACCEPTED IN V/RUING BY All OFFICER F ( Hr. John C. Lur.sden Page 2 January 12, 1959 ( I voulcJ like very much, of course, to assure Hr. Sorrell that conditions are quite satisfactory and that our tests are not as far apart as these readings would indicate. I hardly know hcv to go about it and will sinceroly appreciate your suggestions.
