One previous visit was made but ,no industrial operations were being done. Due to high-level plant meeting held thi3 day, I was requested to return at a later date which will be either Sept. 3 or 4th. to do an inspection, having the safety director, plant manager and section foreman showing me around. Plant officials are very polite and cooperative: also are well aware of our requirements and duties. Hr. Vince Eichenlaub is Safety Director. Mr. Wilbert Speiher is the Corp. Industrial Heazlth Engineer. A complete punch card to be made. ,, ritXCHtVE s c T ! S tre e i' H a m sb c/g , pa 171 ' ' s t o f i c a l A M u s e u m C o m m i s s i o n
