ETHYL GASOLINE CORPORATION CHRYSLER BUILDING New York, April 10, 194-0 Circular Letter No. Vi-395 0t i'i I _J. U U X i A L COPY FOR Sj./Ch, . TO ALL DIVISION MANAGERS // Gentlemen: T..re are attaching curves indicating the percentage of routine No. 1 B Ethyl field samples that are over 3 cc of lead per gallon, as well as the average amount by which these samples exceeded our maximum limit of 3 cc. Also enclosed is a sheet showing the particular companies that seem to be having trouble conforming to the Surgeon General's requirements. You will note that for the month of January both the lead per gallon and percentage of samples over 3 cc continued their downward trend, but during February it increased to an alarming extent. The increase may be only temporary, but I think we should continue to concentrate on this work in an attempt to reduce both the percentage of samples over 3 cc and the lead per gallon and secure even a better record than we hod during January.
