John Schaefer Dthyl Gasoline Corporation Chrysler Building lew York, iiew York Dear John: Dr. Kehoe has asked me to for information concerning tho tank cur. It would seem to us that prepared by stealing, removal of sludge and chemical treatment, that the work could be carried out safely with proper protection of the Yiorkmen. This protection should inolude air-line respirators, clothes, gloves, and boots, of a type similar to those required in tank cleaning* The man should remove all clothes and bath at the end of the shift or sooner if his clothing Is contaminated with material from the walls or bottom. It would not seem practice} to insist upon the use of impervious clothing for this operation, although a rubber apron could be worn to advantage. This repair work is a type of operation v/hich will probably have to be carried out from time to time in the future, perhaps at rare intervals, and if you will let us know when and where the work is to be done, if at all possible one of us would like to make it a point to visit the plant at the time the work is going on. Cordially, & :vr K/T OuGi /o0 Willard' kachle", N9535.01
