ETHYL CORPORATION CHRYSLER BUILDING 405 LEXINGTON AVENUE NEW YORK 17 June 7, 1911 TO ALL DIVISION MANAGERS COPY FOR MR. There has been an Increase in the use.of cans of Fluid both within and outside the oil industry that has placed a burden on the can filling facilities of the Manufacturing Plant. Even though a study is being made to determine what may be done in the way of better filling facilities, it appears we may be able to contribute to ease the burden, as well as to improve safety, by making a study of the large users of cans. Following is a list of the present largest users. Number of Cans 1st Qt. 1st Qt, 1913 1911 Eli Lily, Indianapolis (TEL) Ethyl Corp,,, Detroit Ethyl Corp., Baton Rouge (TEL) Std.

K 0003921 " iS?rS9 SSB jw - 2- Would you please have a diplomatic and careful study made of those within your division. If it appears that the bulk of the blending could be done as well or better by the use of partial drum mixing equipment, would you so report. We do not wish any pressure on the customer to make the change until we have had a chance to check your report, but you might indicate if the customer seems willing to put in a plant. As you know, the installation of a plant will place the operation in a different category, and we shall, in such cases, list it in the installation book, and the Medical Depart ment will make examinations of the blending personnel. Kindly let me hear from you within about two weeks on this matter. Tours very truly, 0. B. LEWIS B HE 0009922
