O. SAPPINGTON, M. 0. Consulting Industrial Hygienist ifv / OU will recall in your high-school history courses that this study was divided into several parts, one perT .raining to ancient history, one to medieHi' val history and another to modern his tory. It will be rather convenient in ^.'.presenting this review of the occupa tional disease situation to make comparfiyjsons between these kinds of history and 1pr|he periods of evolution through which | f !.;yve have passed with regard to occupa,f|? tional-disease conceptions. '^ f Our past experiences may well be "'ttornpared to the period of ancient his- jory and this period may also well be jfjfllled the stage of guesswork and hysIfferia. Your interest and the interest of lltfiost people has been in the spectacular, fijrnd, in fact, this has been the basis for ^compensation laws in regard to mechaninjuries. There is nothing spectacr about occupational disease in the in and so your main interest has been jaws or in problems because people e continued to be crippled and killed mechanical forces. There is no such ect appeal with regard to occupa,nal disease. Then along came the ipression with the effect of producing number of spurious cases, which re`ted in a great burden being placed n industry in regard to the economic tuation. |f n addition to these factors there has fen a lack of general knowledge and ^trained men in the field of occupapnal-disease difficulties. All these fac; have resulted in the production of ,,Pl!'es and unrest, hence the reason for A p p ly in g the name of guesswork and h y s t e r i a to this period of evolution in 'fupational diseases as the stage. | ur present experience may well be Jtened to the period of medieval his- It is now believed that we have mie somewhat past the bogy stage, a swing' to the factual and this ge may well be called the stage of gity. As evidence of the swing to |. factual, last year occupational-dis- compensation legislation was in d u ce d in more than forty states and .Delivered before the Engineering Division, f,ter Chicago Safety Council, Dec. 17, 1936. ^ 1937 as a result of this activity a number of states have actually passed laws, includ ing Illinois. In this stage, when emphasis will be placed upon factual evidence, plant sur veys and studies have become more popular; examinations, including Xrays and clinical laboratory tests, have now come into use more widely. These devices will be used more and more to get facts in this stage of reality. The future, which overlaps somewhat upon the present and includes develop ments in the immediate offing, may well be likened to the period of modern his tory. This may be called the stage of progress. I predict that compensation for occupational-disease disability will be general in the United States within the next five years, that physical exam inations will become universal within the next ten years, and along with this will be an increased use of surveys and studies of industrial environment. As a practical outline of important sources of difficulty relating to occupa tional diseases, let us merely mention the following: 1. Dust (silica and asbestos-contain ing dusts). 2. Metals (lead, cadmium, chro mium, mercury, thallium). 3. Gases (carbon monoxide, sulphur dioxide, hydrogen sulphide, arsine, the nitrous group, cyanogen compounds). 4. Vapors and solvents (benzol and its homologues, the chlorinated hydro carbons, and others). 5. Skin irritants (soaps and cleansing powders, dyes, oils and greases, dusts and powders, solvents, agents of infec tion). This is not in any way to be con sidered an exhaustive list, but a number of the "high points" of importance have been picked as the chief possibilities or probabilities relating to occupational dis ease and these have been mentioned. It is significant in this connection that when the U. S. Public Health Service made a cross-sectional survey of in dustries and published its results in the year 1934, it was discovered that in order of frequency the chief exposures m i i i u u b U ) v m - jlc a s l u i i u w o . x i i u i ^ a i i i v . dusts, carbon monoxide, and lead. There are, of course, a number of others, but these are the chief types of exposure encountered in American in dustry and those which are likely to give difficulty. It is good to remember that this cross-sectional survey was made in ten different industries, embracing 615 plants and involving 28,000 em ployees. It has been well said that the best criterion of an occupational-disease haz ard is the occurrence of occupational disease; but none of us can afford to wait, I take it, for disease to occur. At this point it might be well to make a distinction between the two words ex posure and hazard, simply because, as the U. S. Public Health Service has pointed out, if a man is exposed to lead, carbon monoxide or to inorganic dusts, it does not mean that he is ex posed to a hazard. More must be known than the mere fact of exposure; we must know the quality and quantity of exposure and then, when compared with criteria which have already been established in the production of disease, we shall be able to say whether or not a real hazard exists. Remember that a hazard is always an exposure; an ex posure is not always a hazard. Here are some concrete suggestions which are boiled down to very brief expressions, but which contain the real essence of prevention of occupational disease: 1. Find out the exposure, and the hazard in your plants. 2. Examine your men (before em ployment, during employment on haz ardous jobs, and at the time of discon tinuance of employment). The exam inations will be different for different types of exposure; obviously an exam ination for a dust occupation will not suffice for a lead occupation. 3. Correlate cause and effect factors from the information gained by scien tific study of the industrial environment and the medical data accruing from examinations and laboratory tests. 4. Control or eliminate the hazard, or furnish adequate protection for your men. Another way of stating the above suggestions forcibly is as follows: Man agement must \n o w its men, materials, methods, and machines. In summary, the occupational-disease situation has become a national ques tion; it involves socio-economic prob lems of tremendous significance; it pre sents difficulties no greater than any other industrial problem if the same amount of time, money and quality of brains are used, as have been applied in the past to similar industrial situ ations. 83 MANGANAL Nickel Manganese Steel Reg.

Air hose troubles used to be a pretty regular thing in the underground operations of the Heumader Quarries Company, St. Joseph, Missouri. Constant dragging over the sharp rocks caused severe abrasion and rapid cov^r wear. Lubricating oil passing through lines caused the fiafce, fre quently clogging the hammers ant! dfv the work. Several different mak<`S.*#"nose were tried, but the maximum, service was only one year Says " Style M" Noting these conditions carefully, the G.T.M. recommended that the quarry change to Goodyear Style M Air Drill Hose, 4-ply, and in May 1933, several lengths were put into service on the hammers. Today, over four years later, this hose is still in use and, as the photograph shows, it is far fro m worn out. in all this time there have been no shut downs and delays due to clogged tools, and the saving in replacements has reduced the com pany's air hose bill 75% . Couldn't you use savings like that? To give you similar economy on any type of job Goodyear makes five different types of air hose to fit every service requirement. The G.T.M. will be glad to recommend the proper type for your operation if you will write him, care of Goodyear, Akron, Ohio, or Los Angeles, California--or the nearest Goodyear Mechanical Rub ber Goods Distributor. N 3> FOR one who has used many engines, John Guerra is a man of few words. But they pack a world of meaning! "Best engine I ever had," sums up the low operating cost of his 125-hp. "Caterpillar" Diesel Engine and the way it stands up under the heavy demands of his rock-crushing plant at River Drive and Strodman Road, St. Louis, Mo. With an output of 350 tons per 10-hour day, his fuel-and-lubrication cost is only thirty cents an hour -- 1 l/6c a ton, or less than one-fourth the usual cost of other types of power. In 20 months of service, not a cent has been spent for repairs. And there are thousands of other actual instances, covering most every industry, which offer similar proof of the extraordinary economy of Diesel power as perfected by "Caterpillar." Ask the nearest dealer for details. Or, write us direct. S E V E N ENGI NE S I Z E S - 4 4 TO 160 HP.

T IM K E N Bits are made in three different types-- cross, rose and chisel-- available with either center or side hole in all required gauges. There is only one quality however, and that is the highest that can be produced. T IM K E N means as much in rock bits in this respect as it does in tapered roller bearings. To get this superior quality and the advantages that go with it-- including streamlined design, faster drill ing and more footage per bit-- you pay a little more for T IM K E N Bits-- but you will find them cheaper in the long run. If you are not using T IM K E N Bits you are losing a modern opportunity to reduce your drilling costs. W h y not give them a tryout now?

No look simple and easy other machine has to withstand the abuse of modern drills. Consider the piston of the DA-3S drifter; one end operates at a freezing temperature, the other, frequently at 250 F. It must deliver heavy blows, at the rate of about 2000 per minute (depending on conditions)--millions of these impacts during its lifetime. It receives 48 separate machining, testing and heat treating operations and is actually being worked on 55 hours in the course of its manufacture. During the last thirty years there has been a tenfold increase in drilling speed--the life span of parts has been lengthened-- dependability has grown progressively greater--upkeep costs have steadily decreased. Credit for this great improvement is due in a large measure to Ingersoll-Rand research and development.

This Morris Centrifugal Pump is certainly "full of g rit"-- literally as well as figuratively. The stamina which has enabled it to operate w ith complete satisfac tion on this difficult slurry-handling service is typical of the quality built into all Morris Pumps. Have you the Morris bulletins on pumps for your requirements? If not, be sure to write for copies. Efficiency curves should have plateaus--not peaks . . . . If a centrifugal pump has an efficiency curve that drops off sharply from both sides of the maximum, the slight est change of pressure or capacity will cause a marked loss of efficiency. Morris Pumps have flat efficiency curves, which means that they may be operated over a range of conditions w ithout material decrease of effi ciency. If you want centrifugal pumps with this help ful characteristic, be sure to get a Morris Quotation. Bulletins on request.
