.`ioveraber HI, 1939 Mr. J. 0. Taylor Sthyl Gasoline Corporation Chrysler Building Lew York, New York Attention hr. 0. B. Lewis Dear Mr. Lewis: It will interest you to know that we finally have some light on the Cleveland cases. Vie have completed the analyses of the samples from the Texas Company at Lockport, Illinois, sent to us by Ben Crane ana theJ. 1 results are quite 'nigh, /ill of the samples show evidence of marked contamination with litharge,^ the total lead content being above 20' and the organic and presumably volatile lead content is also quite high. In view of Crane's statement as to ! likelihood of draw-off of sludge in barge! j loading, this will furnish us with a 'I partial explanation at least as to the source of the lead in the Cleveland tanks.! Very truly yours, lmtYT Wil'iard'Machle', M"D.j I i i K" 00176H8 'ANALYSIS NUMBER .
