R.C.Murphy, New York City, Dear Dick, Re- A Study on the Hazards of Cleaning Gasoline Tanks* by Dr* Mar.hle* Medical Department* I find the above report to be highly technical and that it is quite difficult to make up a list of intelligent questions without having some of the technicalities first discussed by some one more familiar with this phase of our business than myself. I shall however have to confine my questions to simple explanations of some of the comparisons that are drawn in the report. Further it must be considered that my questions are those of a layman who has had no part in the discussions that are carried on in the above paper. f1. Does lithsage treatment have any effect on the amount of organic or inorganic lead in gasoline. #2. Can litharge treatment alone be responsible for any contamination or add to the dangers of tank cleaning. Is it possible to differintiate between lead coming from blending with lead tetraethyl and the litharge treatment. $4. Explain what is meant by a comparison of total lead to organic or inorganic lead. $5. The"Rubic Remainder" term or theory is a puzzle to me without any previous discussion and I would appreciate its explanation* $6. Please explain the table on page 8. I feel that with the above questions elaberated upon to some degree I would be in a position to be a little more definite with my questions. Very) T^uiy. AT? Fkd*Stablein (J 0022368
