Done tine ago, we equipped one of oar Pattern Shop band saws with exhaust
ayate for the parpse of sawing "Maranite.* After a lumber of experiments, we
finally decided to discontiime this practice and bave sent our work to outside
shops* Th attached data sheets indicate the reason for our decision*
` Attached is also copy of a letter fron D. 6* Harkins Hasson* Works to
\
JU H* Allen Vernon Works and a copy of Allan's anno to we dated December 26
1961.
Subsequent to receipt of lie* Allen's ceno I had an opportunity to discuss
^ ths natto^^
Hr. S i e h a ^ j ^ t ^ c ^ O ^
assured hin we were no longer sawing "Hnranito* bat night deoide to do it gain at
some future tie if there was a reasonable solution to the problem*
Ft* Hilton asked me for a piece of 'Harane1' for analysis purposes* Then
he and FT* Hanger the newly employed R* S for Vernon brought the piece back to
@ur plant to saw it on the equipped band saw.
The visit was arranged as per your request daring your-recent visit. Massrs^^5^ ^

Hilton and Hanger were escorted to the area by our Hr. J. W* Scythe of the
Technical Department.
Hr. Ssiythe's letter to ne January 16 1962 is attached and self-explanatory.
