E. M. HATTOX
Attached hereto are original and five copies of the proposed agreement with Dr. A. R. Choppin and Dr. Philip V. West, which has been revised to conform to the agreement reached at our conference yesterday.
Your particular attention is called to the elimination of the paragraph which provided for our Company to receive the benefit of a sale of the truck at the end of the contract. Para graph 13 permits the contract to be extended for an additional period of one year at our option.
Unless priorities are involved for obtaining smite of the equipment needed in this work, I do not see the necessity of a letter of intent, since that letter should normally fix the contract price, which is the main feature needed to complete the attached agreement. If it is desired to advance these parties some money to permit the purchase of certain equipment we can, of course, handle that by a separate letter and rely upon the good faith of all parties to work out the ultimate cost.
I will be glad to discuss this matter further with you.
Yours very truly,

Determination of'Dust Fall
Apparatus
1. Sample collection assembly as described by Jacobs; p.- Ill
2. . Pyrex sintered glass crucibles.
Procedure
Assemble collection set and place In selected area. The collecting funnel should be as much in the open as possible so as to permit the collecting of all free falling dusts. The period of sampling can be varied between one and four weeks, depending on the anticipated rate of fall.
The dust and rain, if any, should be collected over the
desired sample period. At the end of the sampling any dust
adhering to the funnel walls should be washed into the storage
jar, using distilled water, and the sample transported to the
laboratory.
Final- analysis should be made by first removing extraneous material such as leaves, twigs, etc., which would not be classed as-dust. The sample should then be filtered through tared fritted glass cr-uclbles of medium porosity, dried at 110, and the crucible' and contents reweighed. The gain in weight represents the dust fall for the area sampled"(funnel top) and the period of collection.
Calculations
Report dust fall in terms of tons of dust per -square mile per month.

Molecular Identification of Dust Particles in Air

Apparatus 1. Petrographic Microscope.
2. Microscope Slides, (half-length).

3. Midget Impinger. as described by Jacobs, p. 141.
4. Cover Glasses.

Procedure
Coat the slides with a thin layer of Shillaber immersion oil (Nd 1.5150), Grade B, high viscosity. Collect a sample of dust on the slide (by direct impingement) until a dust area is visible to the naked eye. Immediately cover the sample with a drop of the immersion oil (ND 1.5150) and protect with a cover glass.
Identify the particles by observing their optical prop erties, using for comparison both data from the literature 8nd prepared reference slides. The following table gives pertinent optical data on compounds most likely to be encoun tered.

Apply the Becke line technique for the estimation of refractive index. Examination of the dust particles in immer sion oil Nn 1.5150 will give information regarding identity of the crystals if the following facts are kept in mind: Only salt cake (Wa2S04) has both refractive Indices lower then `that of the medium. The birefringence of salt cake is of

medium value compared to the high birefringence of sodium
carbonate. Only sodium carbonate has one yefractjive index
higher and one refrattive index lower than the, medium. a Both
refractive indices of quart* are higherth*n that of the
mounting medium, and its birefringence is. of the same order
as that of salt cake.
'
Alumina (AI2O3) has the same order of birefringence as
quartz, but its refractive indices are so much higher- that
it may be identified by its high degree of relief. The
refractive index of sodium chloride is very close to the
average refractive index of quartz, but it may be readily
identified by its isotropic character.

1. The 0. S. Bureau ol Mines Sulfide Detector; purchased from the Mines Safety Appliances Company.
Procedure
Break the tips of the silver cyanide detector tube and
Insert the red end in the detector so that it will be nearest '
the aspirator bulb. Place the retaining head containing the
inlet opening over the upper end of the detector tube. Press
slightly against the retaining head to insure a snug fit of the
tube in the rubber seat. Loosen the thumb nut on the back of
the detector and adjust the sliding scale until the zero is
directly opposite the beginning of the chemical granules; then
tighten the thumb nut.
.
Collect an air sample (approximately 750 ml.) by squeezing the aspirator bulb ten times allowing it to expand completely each time.

Procedure -
Collect 100 liters of sample at the rate of 5 liters per minute, bubbling it through two dispersion bubblers, each contain ing 15 ml. of cadmium chloride solution. A yellow coloration or precipitate indicates the presence of hydrogen sulfide; After sampling has been completed, remove any sulfur dioxide that may have been trapped along with the hydrogen sulfide by aspirating ten .liters- of purified air through the bubbler. The air for purging can be purified by bubbling it through a scrubber con
taining 75 ml. of 0.01 N sodium hydroxide.
Transfer the precipitate and solutions from the absorption tubes to a glass-stoppered Erlenmeyer flask and add exactly 5 ml* of 0.01 N iodine solution, followed immediately by 2 ml. of sulfuric acid (6 N). Allow the solution to stand 10 minutes.. Titrate the excess iodine with sodium thiosulfate solution (0.01 N), adding indicator as the yellow color becomes faint. If a precipitate of cadmium sulfide (yellow precipitate) adheres to the glassware, it should be dissolved with acidified iodine solution prior to the sodium thiosulfate titration.
