amapL ELECTRIC COKPAIY 100 Woodlawn Avenele, Pittsfield, Massachusetts Power Transfomtr Department Telephone 8211 USAQ2 OP TRAM3f01Um PYRANOLS July 30, 1953 Mr. Paul a. Benlgnus Aroolor 4 Special Product Sales Monsanto Chemical Company St, Louis 4, Missouri Dear Mr. Benlgnust In view of your probable change in contractual relations with Hooker Chemical, you have requested our best forecast of transformer Pyranol usage through 1955* We have reviewed this forecast and, for your information, I am sending a copy of Mr, Stebbins' January 15th forecast. It is my understanding that the estimates of the usage by our competitors (Westinghouse, Allis-Chalmers, etc,) were values given to Mr. Stebbins by someone in your organization. Therefore, any revision of these figures should not be made by Q.5, Starting with 1953* our forecast of transformer Pyranol usage is as followsl ' 1953 - 8,000,000 pounds 1954 - 9,100,000 * 1955 - 7,870,000 " Since 1470 Pyranol is now on a royalty-free basis, we would expect 1467 usage to drop to zero next year. Therefore, you can proportion the chlorodlphenyl and Tri-tetra Blend in the regular 45-65 ratio in order to determine <2.2.'s total requirements from you for the years 1954 and 1955. In the event you require more detailed information, such as the Rome requirement which forms a part of the total figures given above, please let me know. If you would like to discuss this and other mutual problems, feel free to write us, or we can discuss them when you come here in September. Yours very truly. . ./%/ 2 2 Bauer 2. 2.
