Eehos, Department of Physiology, College of Medicine , University of Cincinnati, CIMCIIMIA1I. Ohio. Dear Dr. Kehoe, Mr. I'orgentholer is in the course of translating the latest copies of our rules and regulations, and. he has drama to my attention an apparent discrepancy between the regulations dated 1st December, 1938 governing drum mixing plants, and those dated 1st April, 1S38 govern ing mixing plants at which bulk storage tanks are filled from drums. The item referred to is covered in paragraph III.c.4. in the former case, and III.c.3. in the latter. It will be noted that in the former case the operators are permitted to remove their masks and to retire whilst the drums are being emptied, but in the latter ease it is specif ically mentioned that they must wear their masks continuously until all the barrels have been emptied. Mr. Horgenthaler points out, from the point of view of the workmen it would be preferable if the gas masks could be removed whilst the barrels are actually being emptied. I have suggested to him that lie might adopt this course in the translation, ini which case he should include regula tion III.c.10 of the drum mixing regulations to the effect that if, for any reason, vapours of Ethyl Fluid are detected, then the gas masks must be worn. If you disapprove of this suggestion of. mine, will you advise me as early as possible, as I am sure we will be able to hold up the matter from going to the printers. You may wonder why Mr. Morgenthaler is translating the bulk regulations, R,A... Kehoe.

He wishes, however, to have all the regulations correctly translated, since there is a decided possibility that bulk mixing will be adopted so. .e time in the future by a few of the synthetic gasoline plants v.i'.i :L '.:ill have a very high production. hr.
