Subsequently if it was demonstrated that no Justification existed for this amount of work, I would at least do a deter mination of the haemoglobin and examine a stained smear for the nicrosdoplo evidence of lead absorption in the form of stippling, negative evidence in this direction built up over a period of time would serve adequately to demonstrate the absence of hazardous exposure.

In any case, I should feel it was quite certain that the man suffered more damage from exposure to the fumes of the paint which he applied to the tank, than to any lead which may have been on the sides of the tank.

Their opportunities for judging were better than mine, and consequently I was guided by them* However, there is one point at which I'might set your mind at rest aside from the scientific consideration of the matter, and that is that if the exhaust pip is so arranged that the danger from carbon monoxide is obviated, there Is no possibility for the development of any appreciable danger in relation to lead.

At one time a study was made of the deposits in gasoline tank cars and it was found there was very little significant lead accumulation.

It appears that the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles in the state of Connecticut has been a little misinformed as to the number of cases of lead poisoning and it might be well to have one of your doctors drop in and see him sometime when in this vicinity.

I take it to be reasonably certain that he did not inhale any considerable quantity of Tetra-Bthyl lead.

GM objects to this request because it is.vague, overly broad, unduly burdensome, and not likely to lead to admissible evidence.
