The buildings and processes are the seme as at the time of the first survey, but the majority of the looms have been changed from their previous locations.

All of the dust counts in this plant show loss than ten million particles per cufiic foot of air sampled. While these counts are not considered as dangerous concentrations, they are much higher than on the previous survey tnade in 1930, with the exception of those in the warp room. All but four of t the looms have been moved to different locations since the first survey. A check of the records, would show a comparison of tho type of yarn used and rate of production at the time of the two surveys. Semple #15, taken at the inspection table on the second floor shows the highest count. The concentration at this point could be decreased material ly by the proper exhaust equipment. The present syBtem is not designed properly to take care of tho dust generated. Sample #34 shows the presonce of lead. This amount is not consid ered dangerous, but It would be advisable to have the workmen at these looms examined periodically for any signs of lead poisoning. The only sample in the Brake Department showing lead was sample #29* This is not considered a danger ous amount, but does indicate that there is a potential hazard present. BVS 6SB 96 CG OG JCS OZ 0 0 * OS 0 9 OL OB 0/ fr o 3X> 6V / 2 a * '+ r 4u-> Aru pa TJ OOc <p u uopo 0 0>cu) CpJ* U3 1 $w.

Such is not the case because the outgoing figure includes Call-ups. It does not, however include any circular letters.
