'rVf' '"PH: Waukegan Factory May 28, 1948 C, LaGattuta - DHQ 8Z~S Sheet Packing H* R, Poulson*s Letter of May 25. 1948* We have a small quantity of 84-S sheet in process, but have not promised any orders as yet; the reason being that ve vould desire to Inspect the material first because ve know that not all of It can be shipped as full sheets* However, insofar as cut gaskets are concerned, ve have adequate stock on hand and orders for 84-S gaskets can be made to fit into our regular promising schedule. We do have a problem where orders for 36* x 63* sheets are concerned due to that this Is a difficult stock to run on the sheeter* Consequently ve find, upon .pre liminary survey, that about 35% of our sheets have minor imperfections which make them unsuited for shipment as full sheets* We are, also, in the position of not having enough orders for cut gaskets to absorb stock of irregular size. As matters now stand ve have ordered one ton of Australian Blue Fibre to be shipped after being tested by Research, Meanwhile, ve will use all remaining quantities of both Australian and African- Blue Fibre to produce 84-S sheet* It is our intent to get on top of our business as rapidly as possible* W.e are probably out of the woods as far as the teohnical aspects of manufacturing are concerned; but ve are not vet clear on having enough fibre nor are ve clear on an outlet for sheets having minor imperfections* We cannot offer a solid promising schedule as yet for full sheets of 36* x 63* size and ve are looking for addition al business in cut gaskets for this material* mkv cos ToR.Turnbull - DHQ ECLlndstrom - DHQ CRWlkel H.E,Bates H,H*Hies - Packing 0*F*Schlemmer - Q/C OoEoVemer -- Cut Gasket 0.1,.Stake -TE-Cut Gasket File 160-65 Chron*
