D Dear Dr* Kehoe: Tnis is in reply to your most interesting letter of September 6 in which you inquired as to the status and circumstances under which we are preparing gasoline containing Ethyl antiknock compound It has been several months now that we prepared the last lot of gaso line and although the project may eventually be recontinued, the pros pects for this are not apparent at this time. As a matter of information to you, several weeks after our testing had been discontinued, all of our personnel that had been connected with either testing units Qntaining the gasoline or doctoring the gasoline with Ethyl fuel underwent thorough medical examinations to determine whether or not they had been affected or poisoned in any way. All the examinations came out negative which indicates that none had contracted any ill effects from the operation, I must say that if it had not been for Dr, Calingert's coaching, along with all the information that he brought for us to follow we no doubt would have run into trouble of some kind because we did not previously know the dangers that lurked in the use of this material. Vie can also appreciate the attention given by you in following up this to guard against any potential dangers, lours very truly, PRENTISS WABERS PRODUCTS CO KSJ:ju v AWARDED AW ARD ED AW ARD ED AW ARD ED .
