May 23, 1941 Mr, R* P Lowe Proportioneers Incorporated 9 Codding Street Providence Rhode Island Dear Mr, Love: I have your letter of May 17th concerning the oorresp03dance between Major Starrett of the Quartermaster^ Department and the Builders Iren Foundry* There are top features of this matter which cause me to move rather csirefully* The one la that Mr, Oscar Lewis of the Ethyl Gasoline Corporation has been working In close contact with various people In Washington on the subject of suit able preparations for supplies of gasoline* Hla contacts with people and his acquainfcance with the problem are such that In my opinion the matter should be Investigated carefully by him so as to establish what la desired and so as to provide the best means of meeting the necessities of the situation* The other point is that it seems highly probable, with all due respect to Major Starrett, that he does not appreciate how far things have gone In this direction already* Obviously the Ethyl Gasoline Corporation is glad to put all of Its facilities and Information at the disposition of the governmental agencies, but it seems wise to aid in the coordination of these efforts In so far as that is feasible* With the above ideas in mind, I have written to Major Starrett and have also communi cated with Mr* Lewis, who will know how to proceed to give our best assistance in this matter* I am sure we will be very much pleased to call upon you in connection with any meetings or full discussion of this subject that may be required.

March 8, 1940 Mr* F* S* Shepard Soeony T&cuuiii O il Company 26 Broadway New York City New York Dear Mr* Shepard: Mr* 0* B* Lewis of* the Eth yl Gasolin e Corporation has informed me of your in t e r e st in t alk in g with me at an e ar ly date about the use of proportion eer equipment* Mr* Lewis has at at ed th at you are very w ell sa t isfie d with the operation of the equipment at East St *Lou is* I t was h is impression th at you were anxious to extend the use o f t h is equipment to oth er p lan t s* 1 should be very glad to see you and d iscu ss t h is m atter with you a t an ear ly d at e, and I hope t h is can he don scene time soon when I am in New York* I w ill le t yon know eith er d ir e ct ly or through Mr* Lewis when I expect to be th er e, and 1 sh a ll t r y to su it my convenience to years* Meanwhile I should be lo ss than fran k i f I did not repeat what I haw said before in t h is connection# From the poin t of view of a gen eral program of safe t y in the h an dling o f Ethyl Flu id and the blen din g of leaded gaso lin e , I cm ex ceedin gly sk ep t ical about t h is proportion eer equip ment* I t h as, I b e lie v e , cer t ain fundamentally ob ject ion ab le q u a lit ie s, and in addition th ere may be oth er d iffic u lt ie s in connection with i t s use which on ly time and experien ce oan r eveal* With these ideas in mind, I should be r elu ct an t indeed to take th e r e sp o n sib ilit y for approving th e use of t h is type of equipment* I am qu ite w illin g to be convinced by ex per ien ce, but I think i t i s fa i r to say th at presen t experien ce does n ot e n t it le any o f us to an opinion as tb the adequacy of t h is equipment fo r th e purpose for which i t was intended over any lon g period o f tim e.
