I cun well reuiemlarr the early years of our activities, anil the skepticism with which Industry, Lalmr, and Governmental Departments viewed our proposed program of research directed towanl the improvement of conditions for the American Workman, and for the community in which he lives. The foresight and courage of the original organizers has certainly been amply repaid in dollars, as well us in human happiness. Today the Foundation is sound financially, our membership now includes most of the leading industrial companies, and our name and findings are known through out the United States- -in fact, in many far distant lands. There art* no Industrial Hygiene Foundations elsewhere in the world. The foreign visi tors, who route to us, have difficulty in understanding that the Foundation is a wholly voluntary research organization, supported by industries united for the wdl-lieing of workers. Mr. McMahon, our Managing Director, will give you a short report on the Foundation's affairs, and it is therefore unnecessary for me to comment on the results accomplished since our last meeting. You will la* filled with a sense of satisfaction and pride in his report, and in the list of mir new members. But we must not la-come complacent, as only a start has Iteen made in the research that is necessary to solve the many hygienic problems that face, and will continue to face laUr, management, consumers, ami, in general, our entire population. Research Needs and Implications I had the great privilege of spending two weeks during last Seplemler with the top ranking officers of our Navy, who discussed their problems, as well as the relationship of industry to the Navy. 1 was greatly impressed by the attitude of the Navy toward the necessity of research, and ! was extremely interested in the comment that the war would have been greatly extended if England had not developed, through research, the relatively crude radar that enabled (heir small airforce to successfully repel the large German bombing flights. It was also stated that the war might even have been lost, if Hitler had continued expenditures for research in the develop ment of new weapons instead of stopping such expenditures in Februury, 1941 and not resuming the research on guided missiles, fast .submarines, etc., until Novend>er, 1942. In the past, Europe largely provided the wellsprings of fundamental rr . arch, and the research in the United States has, for the most part, l*een concerned with the practical application of funda mental scientific facts. For instance, we took the German work in nuelear I physics and mad* the atom bomb; w* aided England in the perfection of radar, etc. The President's Scientific Rc.-eatrh Board, in its current studies on "Science and Public Policy," reports that for the fiscal year of 1047 the Government spent 625 millions for research and development in the physical and biological sciences--this sum. of course, does not include expenditures by the .Atomic Energy Commission. It was also reported that private out lays for research were slightly less than 600 million, and that Russia's 1947 budget was $1,200,000,000. It would seem to me that even 1 billion, 200 million falls short of the amount that our country should spend in research to guarantee its existence and to guard the lives of its people. Leadership in Industrial Hygiene Just a? continued research is necessary for our armed forces and our country as a whole, so too is research necessary to improve the health and welfare of the men nnd women in industry- Last year, in my opening talk, the question was asked. "Who is going to take the leadership in industrial health--the Unions, the Government, or Industry?'* You probably know that in addition to the funds expended by Federal and State Governments on industrial hygiene, the Anthracite Health and Welfare Fund announced in June a grant of $575.iUH) to the Jefferson Medical College for a five-year study of "Miners* Occupational Diseases." laist month the ladies Garment Worker.- Union announced a one million expansion of its Union Health Center in New York. If the accomplishment of , the Industrial Hygiene Foundation in tlie past was based solely on the dollars expended, or if our proent budget of.around S100.000 per year was the sole indication of future result*, then our contribution toward theimprovement of working and living conditions would indeed be depressing. Although "dollars'* are always helpful, the Foundation, through our competent staff, is even now able to stimulate industry toward taking the leadership in industrial hygiene that is so necessary. Your Board of Directors have not yet felt that the Koun-. datum** financial resources, or the site of its staff, are sufficient to under-, take fundamental research, especially as our membership covers such a large field, but we recognize our obligation toward fundamental research and at some appropriate time we will discharge our responsibility. We art* in a position to efficiently and satisfactorily study particular industries, and to make constructive suggestions that will aid individual companies in that industry t- improve condition*. Control of Air Pollution F*i example, the Foundation has l>cen studying air pollution in certain area*, ami thi* problem may Itecome even more important, as cities ami conimunitie- throughout this country are tightening up on regulations gov erning air pollution. Pittsburgh, Niagara Falks, Cleveland and I*os Angeles have already expres.-ed deep concern, and Louisville has taken action against a large plant operating in that city to abate the public nuisance arising from tin*:, -moke and udor*--eleven damage suits have actually been filed bv citizen- of Louisville against the corporation. There is continued public demand for the control of air pollution, just as there is a demand for improved working and living conditions. 1 am sure that industry should not waii until the demands are translated into stringent regulations and subse 2 .

In addition to surveys for industries and iadi*.

To combat inflation, and to aid a distressed work. what we need is greater production on the part of every worker ii* * country. I acn hopeful that we are nearing the end of the cycle or u lustria) strife, and of the period of extreme positions on the part of eVer management or labor. I know of no better way for improving labor-m* cigement relations, ami thereby improving production, than by develop*m -igether ways for improving working and living conditions. Industrial nony and mutual respect must he earned--they cannot Ik? bought or it;. through propa ganda, any more than an individual can huy respect g*od reputation. The maintenance of good working ami living com)ili..n i<eaks louder than all the pamphlets or posters ever published. Tlu* Foundation is your organization, and at all tones stands ready to aid employer, employee, our State or Governmental Departments in all problems of industrial hygiene. Before intnxliiring Mr. McMahon, I wi::h to expn the appreciation of the Industrial Hygiene Foundation to Dr. Weidlein. ..?.l the Mellon Instilute for the many courtesies that have always been whole-heartedly extended, as well as fur the guidance and financial as.' *ance that we have received. Without the help of Dr. Weidlein and his a -.slant. Dr. llamor, our Foundation could not have grown to its present m.-^nitude, and Ameri can industry would probably not have such a comptat organization for the handling of industrial health problems. And now it gives me great pleasure to present Mi * IcMahon, Managing Director of the Foundation, who will report to you on our accomplishments since the fast Annual Meeting. ' :t I-H-F IN 1947 JOHN F. McMAHON Director, bdastritl Hygiene Foodatioii What has Industrial Hygiene Foundation done during the past year? The following are some partial answers to that question: At the first meeting of the Foundation's Board of Trustees, on Decem ber 16. 1935. this organization was launched with 23 member companies and associations. As of today, there are 349 members. Twenty-two companies and associations have affiliated thus far this year. They are: American ('an Company Anthracite Institute tlla* l'idrr Company Xu'im Motor Compan> (England) < rucible Steel Company Fnlrral-Mogul Corporation Fire>ione Tire & Rubber Co. Ford Motor Company General Ceramics & Steatite Co. General Electric Company Godrej and Boyce Mfg. Co. Inland Steel Company National Ass'n Fan Manufacturers National Pulverizing Company National Steel Corporation National Supply Company New Jersey Pulverizing Company Pittsburgh Coke & Chemical Co. Sharon Steel Corporation Sun Oil Company Sun Sand Company Sylvania Electric Products Co. Actually, the number of new members is 54 inasmuch as one of the organizations is the Anthracite Institute, which has taken out a multiple membership covering its 32 member companies. There are now 103 special subscribers--governmental agencies, private institutions, etc. Field Work Field work continued to increase in a satisfactory manner and involved studies in approximately 70 different plants. This work will be descril>ed by Mr. Hatch, the Foundation's Research Director, in an engineering survey for the pottery industry, directed by Mr. Hemeon, Head Engineer, the Foundation collaborated with the U.S. Potters Association to hold a Pottery Dust Control Clinic here in Mellon Institute on October 13. Sixteen com panies sent 31 representatives to this all-day conference. 4 Conferences Conferences are proving a practical measure for increasing Foundation services to member companies. A Medical Conference, an Engineering Conference, and a Conference for Attorneys and Compensation Officials were held here yesterday. Tomorrow there will le a conference for research directors, chemists, industrial hygienists and toxicologists. These closed sessions, limited to member firms in mining and manufacturing, draw together specialists, with similar interests and problems, from all types of heavy industry and so serve as valuable vehicles for the exchange of infor mation and experience. But already, some of these sessions are beginning to exceed conference size. In the year ahead the Foundation hopes to sponsor several conferences for specific industries, possibly for engineers in the steel industry or for physicians associated with the asWstos industry, etc. Publications "Health in Industry," the Transactions of our last annual meeting, was issued early in the year. Yesterday the printer delivered two new bulletins, "Air-Conditioned Crane Cubs," a publication in our Engineering Series, and "Industrial Air Sampling and Analysis," a handbook for plant chemists, and the first bulletin in our new Chemical and Toxicological Series. In mid-year the Legal Committee issued a short analysis of Occupa tional Disease Compensation Statutes and Developments in the 1947 Sessions of the State Legislatures, as well as a memorandum on sickness insurance. More recently the Foundation released a comprehensive digest of the impor tant Medical Survey of the Bituminous Coal Industry. Meanwhile, members of the Foundation staff published a number of papers in appropriate jour nals. Foundation publications for the year are on display in the lobby. The Staff The Foundation's staff is now composed of 10 people, seven men, and three girls in the general office. An engineer was added this year and early in the coming year we hope to appoint a laboratory assistant who will also help with the monthly Industrial Hygiene Digest. The staff now includes a Research Director, a Medical Director, a Head Engineer, together with other engineers and chemists. Member companies can regard these special ists as advisory members of their own staffs and can call upon them accordingly. We are glad to announce the establishment of an x-ray panel, under the auspices of the Foundation's Medical Committee, to which member com panies may refer questionable chest x-rays. You may obtain details from Dr. Walmer, our Medical Director. 5 Industrial Health in General Now a view of the held at large -Top developments of the year in industrial health include: 1. Completion of the Medical Survey of the Bituminous Coal Indus try, which high government officials are reported to have said rnuld well lea "pattern for all industries.** 2. The grant of $575,000 from the United Mine Workers Anthracite Welfare Funl to Jefferson Medical College for research on "miners* occupational disease;." 3. Establishment of industrial health education centers at New York University and University of Cincinnati. I. Completion of the Foundation's two-year study on Industrial Heath Departments hy Dr. C. O. Sappington. 5. Th- Saranac Symposium on Beryllium. 6. Establishment of a Division of Medical Research hy the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission. 7. The inauguration of sickness insurance in California and the introduction of some 30 bills on .this subject in 13 other state legislatures it the 1947 sessions. 8. Expansion of industrial and research attention to problems of hygiology, resulting in many useful contributions to the liter ature. The Foundation endeavors to stimulate all such useful activity. f| MR. FLETCHER: Each year the Foundation has been extremely fortu- J nate in having an outstanding citizen as its keynote speaker. Today, our I keynote speaker is one of the most interesting, as well as the most likable 1 individuals I know. We have been friends for over twenty-live years, and 0 after you have heard him speak, you will understand wliat I mean. lie heads f? one of America's outstanding industrial organizations, the American Brake || Shoe (Company, which employs 10,000 people and operates 60 plants located |. in 21 Slates and several foreign countries. While his office is in New York, |i he spends much of his lime in the plants, three of which are located here in 1 Pittsburgh. He says the world is plagued with problems so immense that individually we are overwhelmed, but he expresses the opinion that if we will work together and concentrate on the problems one at a time, and on the ones of which we have some knowledge, then perhaps the other problems will take care of themselves! 1 suppose it is because of this belief that he has developed a first-hand knowledge of working conditions anti industrial health. As a matter of fact, there is probably no man in the top manage ment of a large industrial organization who is more actively interested in the broader aspects of employee health, than is this gentleman. That is why the Foundation recently elected him to its Board of Trustees, and why he is the keynote speaker for our meeting today. I am happy indeed to intro duce Mr. William B. Given, Jr.. President, American Brake Shoe Company. interpretation. If not, there are many in the public who are all too ready to supply an unfavorable interpretation. Whatever you do, you must remend>er that Industrial Hygiene must lie interpreted as managing with heart. MK. McMAHON: 1 would like to ask, Mr. Stock, what are the social responsibilities that the public seems to expect from the plant? MR. STOCK: When we asked the citizens in a number of representative communities. "What should a plant do for its employees,*' the very first idea that comes into their mind is security. To a large extent this word, "Security." is just a nice tasting word to the American public, having no specific meaning. But a fairly large portion of the public use the word "Security" to mean good working conditions, healthful and safe jobs. A fourth to a third of the general public mention specifically that industrial plants should provide for their employees clean places to work, good light ing. good ventilation. sho\ver>. good drinking water, safety devices of all kinds and so forth. MR. Mc.MAMON: If 1 may ask mu* more lueslion, what do you hud is the benefit of using the "Y" in tlu* formula, of telling the story? MR. STOfK: I am glad you asked that. Recently, in a study of ulmul 4S companies. we made a comparison of the top 12 und the lioUom 12 in public cote in their communities. We found that all top 12 in public vote not only lived right but interpreted tlwir living right. The management of the bottom 12 told us they didn't bother to interpret their good acts. None of the top 12. with average age older than the bottom 12, had ever had a strike. Of the l<ottom 12. eleven had had one or mure strikes within the last 1 years. . We have -tudied numerous examples of the pay-off of adding good interpretation to good acts. Notably, we have observed cases where strikes have been averted or shortened, production increased, anil costly turnover cut down. Mr. lliven has pointed out that when people know that a plant i. a good place to work they want to work there. This has tremendous meaning to a firm that's trying to hire and keep the most qualified workers. 22 SUMMARY OF FIELD STUDIES AND RESEARCH-1947 THEODORE F. HATCH Research Director. Industrial Hygiene Foundation President, American Industrial Hygiene Association Field research undertakings by the Foundation during the past year have exceeded the work of previous years in magnitude und scope as well as in the number of projects. Studies have covered a wide variety of repre sentative industrial problems, ranging from investigation of underground operation to measurements of amounts and composition of wastes dis charged from stacks. A few undertakings were routine in nature, requiring the use of highly standardized procedures for (he correction of well-recog nized hazards. For the most part, however, the studies have lieon more basic, even requiring entirely new procedures, ami having to do with broader problems than the simple discovery and correction of a hazardous exposure. This is t>est indicated by the following list, which summarizes briefly the primary objectives of some major projects: SUMMARY OF PRIMARY OlUKfTIVFS OF SI*K('lAl. I'ROJKtTS 1947 1. Coordination of dust control pr'tcedures (industry-wide). 2. Over-all appruisal of industrial health problems and advice on organization and operation of industrial hygiene service by company. 2. Preliminary investigations of new dus! ami fume problems to develop the needed research program for further study. 4. Basic engineering analysis of operations with Kngim*ering De partment to develop sound design procedures for ventilation ami other control measures in place of empirical practices. 5. Over-all study of operations in a chemical plant to provide the most effective layout and design of a new plant and equipment for maximum "built-in" control of hazardous materials. f*. Development of an operator training program, basic control measures, and a continuous sampling und alarm sysLem for- a toxic gas which characteristically escapes accidentally rather than as a daily occurrence. 7. Basic investigation of radiant heat in a hot industry, to deter mine the primary sources and pattern of exposure, with a view 22 Ui the development of more effective control measure?, and fur ther improvement of working conditions. Further investigation of silicosis hazards and other dust expo sures to provide more meaningful methods for distinguishing between hazardous and nuisance dusts and to give more meaning to occupational history as an essential aid in the diagnosis of chest x-ray films. Industry-wide Studies Of especial interest in our report last year was the number of projects undertaken on an industry-wide basis. Investigations of this type account for an even larger portion of the work this year. The procedure is entirely in keeping with the. underlying function of the Foundation, which is to promote industrial health through the joint effort of its members. Further more. the returns are greater when investigations are planned and under taken on the broader base of a joint undertaking. An outstanding feature ..f an industry-wide study is the advisory technical committee from the industry which is set up to take part in the planning of the investigation, selecting the plants for study, reviewing the data and collecting detailed information from the several plants in the group. There is greater utili zation of iht- accumulated experience within industry in respect to a common problem. In a single investigation there is little opportunity to utilize this experience. Whai is more important, it is not possible to bring the varied experiences of different plants together for comparison and critical evalu ation when plant studies are conducted separately. Tht- significance of these joint undertakings extends far beyond the enhanced value of the studies themselves. The free exchange of exper iences, chemical and engineering data, and even details of manufacturing processes which has taken place in each case is a tribute to the sound policy and the high objectivity of the companies involved. Mention has been made previously of the extensive studies conducted in potteries during the past three years. This year the Foundation was invited to visit all of the companies in the XJ.S. Potters' Association for the purpose of correlating the dust control work in that industry. Recently the Association conducted a Clinic on dust problems here at the Mellon Insti tute the primary purpose of which was to discuss in considerable detail the dust control practices throughout the industry. Other industries may find this a worth while procedure and the Foundation will welcome the opportunity to assist, in such meetings; Expenditures for Greatest Good Industrial hygiene is concerned with relationships between the health of the worker and the stresses of his job and of the industrial environment. The actual practices of industrial hygiene are based upon the assumption, borne out by research and experience, that these relationships can be ex pressed in quantitative terms. That is to say, the effects of the industrial environment upon the workers* health can be determined from quantitative measurements of the levels of exposure to offending substances or other 24 deleterious forces present in the environment- The factual and objective Ivasls of industrial hygiene not only justifies its existence as a technical specialty, but is of the greatest practical value, since, so far as possible, it aims to substitute facts for opinions. By means of quantitative analysis, major health problems are distinguished from minor ones. Important sources of trouble are identified so that, in the health program, money and effort can b* expended for the greatest good. A formidable array of instruments and analytical techniques have been developed which are capable of measuring environmental factors with con siderable precision. An equally extensive list of standards of permissible xposare have been proposed which make it possible, in the appraisal of working conditions, to determine whether or not health hazards exist. These developments are the result of many years of research in the labora tory and in industrial plants. The record of accomplishments in the prac tical solution of health problems in industry, through the use of quantita tive methods, speaks for itself and accounts for the increasing numbers of industrial hygiene services being set up within industry. Because of the excellent record of accomplishment, there is danger that industrial hygiene methods may become too standardized and acquire a degree of scientific sanctity not justified by the researches upon which they are based. This can be avoided only by constant, critical review of the pro cedures and standards and continuing research. Only in this way the practical usefulness of industrial hygiene be extended and strengthened. Research Needs Research needs are emphasized by our day-to-day plant experiences where situations are. repeatedly encountered which differ in many ways from those considered in the original studies upon which existing standards are based. The question constantly arises, therefore, as to the universal applicability of standards and procedures. The following examples may be taken from the work this year: 1. Shaver's disease--this is a pulmonary disease caused by fumes from the fusing of bauxite in electric furnaces for the produc tion of synthetic abrasive. The causative ingredient in the fume is not known. Fume particles are sub-microscopic in size and cannot be studied properly by analytical methods in common use. /2. Asbestos dust exposures--a preliminary study of asbestos dust exposures, using the electron microscope and other advanced techniques, indicates the need for considerable further study of this problem and the development of new analytical techniques. 3. Silicosis--despite the many years of study of this disease much remains to be learned. Present criteria of the silicosis hazard are limited to the simple determination of dust concentrations and percentage of free silica in the dust. Little is understood about the importance of sub-microscopic particles not revealed by present analytical methods; no consideration is given to the possible influence of ingredients other than silica in a mixed dust; variation in the physical state of the air-borne dust which may alter the fate of the dust in the respiratory system is not now taken into consideration. Experienced roentgenologists emphasize 25 the non-specificity of lung changes seen in many chest x-ray films and depend upon the occupational history for confirming evidence of exposure to a hazardous dust before making a diagnosis of silicosis. This dependence upon an adequate history of the dust exposure emphasizes, in turn, the necessity for the most complete understanding of the etiology of the disease. Research is needed in the engineering aspects of industrial hygiene as well as in respect to analytical methods and in the formulation of quanti tative relationships between the worker and his environment. Major de pendence is placed upon ventilation and other engineering measures for the control of occupational diseases. Despite the great progress that has been made, the design of industrial ventilating systems remains largely empiri cal, with little consideration given to the fundamental engineering factors which determine ventilation requirements. Too often, satisfactory results are obtained only because of over-design. In other cases, systems fail to perform satisfactorily, not because of deliberate curtailment of capacity but simply through routine, empirical following of past experience without considering liasic differences in operation which alter the des.gn require ments. Systematic study of the forces which cause the dispersion of con taminants into the plant atmosphere must form the basis of sound engi neering design of industrial ventilating systems. Theoretical analysis, supplemented by engineering research, is required if this field of engineer ing design is to improve. Work in this direction has continued during the past year, but must be augmented by more extensive research facilities if any considerable progress is to le made.- Atmospheric Pollation Community concern over industrial atmospheric pollution is increasing rapidly. In the near future industry will be called upon to curtail many wa.-tes which now escape into the atmosphere. Research in the field of y atmospheric pollution must be accelerated. Existing community standards, based largely on smoke, are not adaptable to the industrial waste problem. Sound relationships must be established between the community standards and the amounts of polluting material which industries may discharge into the atmosphere. Basic research in the methods of waste collection and air cleaning is required to supplement the practical experience upon which much of the available commercial equipment is based. To avoid confusion and conflicting claims when community regulations are adopted, industry will do well to take an early inventory of its atmospheric waste problems and to embark upon the needed researches. The technical work of the Foundation has a practical basis and there is no place in the program for research except as it serves this same practical end. On the other hand, continued dependence upon routine and standard ized prH*t*ilures results in little progress. The great variety of problems encountered in *ur field work constantly emphasizes the limitations of present method- of appraisal and of engineering design and consequent need for research to supplement the practical work in industry. A primary objective of the Foundation is to foster such research for the advancement of industrial hygiene. For industry it is a good investment, especially as it should be oriented toward the discovery and development of better and more ecomomral methods for the control of industrial health hazards. INDUSTRIAL HEALTH PROGRAMS IN ACTION* HAROLD A. VONACHEN, M.D. Medical Director, Caterpillar Tractor Compeoy President-Elect, American Association of Industrial Physicians and Surgeons Those of us who are devoting our professional lives to industrial medi cine find it is a most pleasant, exciting, interesting, and absorbing specialty. From our established procedures, good health practices, daily and weekly experiences are built the "case histories" which go to make up our archives. To us it has opened new avenues of usefulness; to industry it has proven profitable; to the-employee it has been highly beneficial. I feel we are not fostering foolish fads nor indulging iti vague humanitarianism. Today, the prospective employee secs industrial medicine not only as a profession that seeks to cure, but a profession that seeks to pre vent. The attention and skills which are afforded employees creates in them a real incentive to improve their own health. Equally important, they carry these attitudes to their families, to their neighbors, and friends. They carry it to others. They arc convinced that the program is for their benefit. Its influence extends into the community from which an industry draws its people. We have every reason to believe that our medical program has materially influenced the health standards of our community. This is not looked upon by us as a philanthropy; above all, it is not paternalistic or done for its advertising effect or as a sop to the employees. Rather, it is an important function of management. Disease prevention, you will agree, is modest and unassuming. Many Industrial physicians may feel that they have prevented siekness or death in an individual, yet they are very often unable to prove it to others. Cura tive medicine, treatment, when successful is spectacular and highly con vincing, although, even there, no one knows how much the recuperating power of the body and the mind or their resistance has helped to cure. Most of Benefits Immeasurable The potentialities of an induslria) health program cannot be interpreted into dollars and cents. In-cause it frequently results in confusion. Who can calculate the value to our Company in the reduction of lost time by curbing sickness or epidemics? Furthermore, it would be most difficult to appraise the assets to our Company, or the economic savings accruing to our employ ees, resulting from adequate physical examinations. What about the many consultations, referrals, and medical opinions nilereil employees and those affecting their families, which are aired in the industrial physician** office !U-|'l !> itillMM K 21 SUMMARY OF ENGINEERING CONFERENCE* PROF. PHILIP DRINKER Harvard School of Public Health Chairman,. Engineering Committee, Industrial Hygiene Foundation The first Conference was heir! in l`J45 and at that we had approximately <50 per.*;n> present from various member companies, ia l.rNC \\(* hod about Ml, am) yesterday we were just over 100. The inter- tsv In the topics was very intense. and I for one feel confident that these Conferences of our engineering group are an assured affair and will occupy a major place in She interests of the engineering personnel of our various member companies. The !5r>i topic wu- or. cvn'.niuniiy atmospheric pollution. Our interest in that is naturally somewhat different from that of the Legal Committee, although we do overlap in some measure. One engineering-aspect was prr-seuii-ri very ably lv Mr. Kane of American Air Filter Company, who considered i: from the standpoint of the interests of clients in the purchas ing of dust collecting apparatus and in that way developed some veiy intersiing technical information. Mr. Hemeon presented it from a slightly different aspect. i?.d the trer.erai discussion which ensued brought out still ether '>*inis. T!? next topic, or. vuof ventilators, elicited some interesting discussions, and was well summarized by Mr. Hemeon, who pointed out that the inter est in the-sv roof ventilators was primarily on heat dissipation, from imtrniiut-m operations, and dissipation of heat which would be relatively uneomaniinateri from air impurities. The development of roof ventilators, their performance and design and installation, was an important part of the geM-ml discussion Supersonic Measures for Dust and Fume Control Th* rot talk was on the supersonic agglomeration of dusts and fumes by a r-pn-?'nr::t.ve of the Ultrasonic Corporation of Cambridge, Mass. He gave soj-h* indications of pilot plant work that they are now doing in carbon blacking agghirv.u-niton in Texas. Upon being questioned by Mr. Tony of Katrio-Pieoi-r ami others of us interested in metallurgical problems, he stated ih:tt. tlicj 5u:vo not yet applied it to metallurgical fumes, but hope to do so. 1 would that you keep in touch with developments along that field, which holds considerable promise, through the offices of the Foundation ;r directly through the Ultrasonic Corporation in Cambridge. After lunch, Mr. Hatch presented general topics on exposure to indus trial beat and improved methods for appraisals of heat exposures, and following that was an interesting exhibition, with some practical data, by - t N-\vmb^r3S. ' 40 Mr. Dunn of Corning Glass Company on an air-conditioned suit intended particularly for protection against high radiant temperatures. Details of that suit I am sure would be supplied by Mr. Dunn of the Coming Company. The paper which followed was one of a general discursive and discus sion nature, in which everybody entered, on procedures by which the engi neering divisions of companies could be brought into the industrial ventila tion picture. When there are problems in industrial ventilation, dust con trol and the like, the plea was made that every effort be made to bring the proper engineering division of the company in' question into the picture, and not to have it handled by some other division, which might very well be interested, but not interested wholly from the engineering point of view. The final talk was on dust valves, gates, feeders, and specialized equip ment. in -which a question and answer forum was held that interested all r he members greatly. 43 MEMBERS OF INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE FOUNDATION MEMBERS OF INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE FOUNDATION - A- Abingdon Cutleries, Inc.
