When you and I were at GE we were shown their IR curves in dicating higher absorption at 8,55 u on some recent ship ments. We called this to WOK attention and they now con firm GE*s observation. While we need be careful how we do it, I feel we should confirm this to GE. Par more than any thing else they value our technical competence and integrity. They much prefer and are more impressed when we call to their attention such detectable change and especially trends in the wrong direction. This brings to mind that our TCC (stability) values recently show a trend in the wrong direction, although still within the GE specs. If this trend continues G! has the capability of discerning it, although they seemed to have lost us when we were reporting around 0.1 ppm for TCC. I got lost myself at those low levels, knowing a bit about the test. The point to all of this is that we now have evidence that I i our quality trend at WGK has gone in the wrong direction in recent mohths. * r We have worked so very hard to attain quality (the most im portant thing in this biz), comparable to our competitors - I that we must not let the current trend get out of hand, while I our people study possible differences due to chlorine I change, etc. " I would not want to have GE call to our attention an unfavor able trend in TCC stability.
