Milford, VA Ready-Mix Tape Joint Compounc 1nterv1ewed Harry Scharf - Plant Manager OBJECTIVE Take dust samples plus routine semiannual visit. OBSERVATIONS Air samples obtained by EJK which will be analyzed and reported. Business is down, running at about 60% of plant capacity. No indication of how long this will last. Two men quit and so their production force now consists of about 7 men. SG-210 being added at 30 pounds per batch versus 78 pounds for Canadian 7TF9. Harry did not have a 210 inventory but it looks like it should be adequate for the next few months. My guesstimate is that they will only need one car more this year. ACTION None at this time. However, I think we should make another attempt to get their R&D people to increase the SG-210 content of their TJC's if at all possible. The latest Canadian price change should be of some help in doing this. Typed 8/5/74 cjb CC for R. E. Byrne C. E. Metten W. J. Fitzpatrick A. J. Lyon T. P. Norris--"" J. A.
