Boggstt - Paoli Laboratory <4-02^----'--- Mr. Haloaln Meyer - Ardaere I an qiotlng below a manors rcfrra that I hare received Tram Cheater Abbsy, lfcich I believe is self-explanatory! *Tou my recall that for the past year we have been working on getting a source of low coat acoustical plaster that could be applied with a plastering aachine. Our sales of Kalita have dropped off and ana of the factors is that a majority of acoustical plaster sailings oov being installed are of n law oost blow-on notarial which coata about two-thirds of what tha Kalita natarlal doss. Kalita la eoEgxarahla in tha parforaanos and oost of SablnLto nsda ty O.S.C. "I have suggested wa need s lov-ooat natarlal and first tried to mbs arrange&ants and had it about worked out that the Zanolite people would nake their aaterial far us in a bag with our nss on it, and we could sail the natarlal ifclch they are selling as Acoustic nestle that la wldaly used and has been tested in nary diffarent type installations for firs reslataaes, sound characteristics, and se on. It was finally dsddsd that since our interest lies nora with Farlite, ws drop tha Zonoilts dasl and try to mks arranganante with tha Anarlean Bildrock people of Chicago* After several exchanges of correspondsnos and ly calling on these people, they finally earn up and said they would not care to enter into any agreement with us since ws obviously only wanted it for a short period of tins, and if it proves satisfactory, ws would nake it ourselves, and if it did not prove satiafaetocy, we would drop it* The reason ws went to these outside sources was because the laboratory had fait tbsy would not devote the tins to develop a formula end get tho tests necessary to satisfactorily sell the naterlal. In view of our lock of success, I hove asksd the lab to reconsider and tell us lfcsther they would be in a position to neks a formula and get the information ws nsed* In all tha work done necessary to check the competitive produota on tha asrket, Joe Watt has developed e fund of information on various acoustical plasters and has indicated to as that he could work out a formula vary quickie that would he comparable to the Anarican Bildrock formula ifcich is very sindlar to the product U.S.O. recently put on the narket under the am of Audioote. "The Carr-Lite Aooustlcal Plaster nade by the Lake Zurich people would be satis factory, but this ia an untriad eaterial in tha fiald, ooapared to the other two products. Besides developing the formula and aaking some field checks, we would need, initially, light reflection tests and sound absorption tests. I feel these could be carried art for less then $1,000.00 total cost. oontirued PLAINTIFF'S EXHIBIT *Z SGP 0018632 ./ Hr, p. x. Piachar Past 2 Octobar 17, 1756 C. E.
