ETHYL GASOLINE CORPORATION CHRYSLER BUILDING New York, July 23, 1940 Circular Letter No. W-412 CONFIDENTIAL COPY FORISk n CU3 TO ALL DIVISION MANAGERS Gentlemen: Re are sending you herewith the curves which are derived from the routine Ethyl field samples showing the number of samples over 3 c.c. and the average amount thereof. The amount of lead over 3 c.c. for the month of June- shows a slight decrease now averaging 3.12. However, the percentage of samples showing heavy lead increased during the month to an alarming extent. Certainly when 9% oi all the routine samples show more lead than the Surgeon General's regulation allows, it is time for us to give it every attention. We are listing below the samples for the entire country which show heavy lead, and we wish you would analyse the samples i'or your division and let us hear from you on this subject.
