Gentzkow Army Pedicel School Army Ledioal Center Washington, D. C. Dear Colonel Gentzkow: if# are sending herewith three copies of the discussion and review of `'Gasoline Intoxication". As you requested, this was drawn up in some detail and a great many more references have been included than will be contained in the finished paper* I propose soon to condense this material considerably and publish it in or. of the journals. Largely as a consequence of the detail included and to a degree because of the large amount of material that had to be gone over, this paper will permit of considerable reduction should you wish to use ail or any part of it for purposes of information in the Areiy kedioal Corps. The work on the stove is practically at completion. Two runs of 4 to 6 hours each were made initially, then the atov was operated daily for a period of soma weakc, and a third balance experiment carried out. Our recoveries have been from 9& to 100$, well within the limits of experimental' error, and several matters of practical significance have developed from this v/ork. It would appear that vdien leaded gasoline that contains 3 co of lead is used measurable amounts of load are found in the flue gases, but that the greater proportion of this comes, over in the first 30 minutes while the stove is coming to temperature, and we have further found that the lead which passes the filter in the' early minutes of running ia in the form of tetraethyl lead. Thle of course does not escape into the flue gas as it is completely decomposed in passage through the flam, but it does suggest the possibility that improvements in the stove could be made that would enable more complete decomposition of the tetraethyl lead while the stove is being started. Some items in connection with this and the matter of the amounts of lead found in the flue gas make it seem advisable that we discuss this matter together aa iioon as all of our analytical data ic at hand. 0009503 0. J. G* - (2) - March 2g, 1941 It happens that Dr. Kehoe and I will ho in the east in the second week in April and it would be possible for us both to atop off at Washington on Friday, April 11. This happens to be Good Friday and may sot be a conven ient day for you. On the other hand it will be one of the few times when it will be possible for us to have Dr. Kehoe sit in on this meting, and I think it would be mat desirable to have his opinion at the time we go over the data. ?fill you, therefore* please let me know as soon as convenient, whether or not it will be possible for ua to see you on April 11. Ohould that date not be convenient, will you set sons other tl&e. X shell look forward to seeing you. Best regards. Cordially, i-.si: vr Wlllara Siaehle, M. ii. HE 0009504
