jP Y TREASURY DEPARTENT Washington, D.C. May 20, 1936. Dr. Grahraa Edgar Ethyl Gasoline Corporation Chrysler Building I4.O5 Lexington Ava. New York, II.Y. Dear Dr. Edgar: ' I regret that my reply to your letter of May 6th has been delayed due to my having been out of the city. I have discussed the matter of Xactomatic pumps with one or two of those interested who are connected with this office. The first inquiry was as to why the manufacturers of the pumps, who appar ently expect to dispose of them to oil companies, did not take into consideration the fact that the labeling of pumps dispensing leaded gasoline is a usual practice and has been for a period of years, and make provision for this in their design. All with whom I discussed the matter thought it was not good policy to place the lable on the side of the pump rather than on the front. It was also the con sensus of opinion that 15 Inches from the ground to the top of the sign was somewhat low. The place for the label indicated on Pump 3* at i+O inches from the ground, seems to be reasonable to all. This is just opinion, and has of course, no official significance. With kind personal regards. Sincerely your3, R. R. SAYERS Medical Officer in Charge 0009149 N9939
