U. E. Bowes to Leroy U. Gardner Asking for a Hazard Study of the Berlin Plant Material (1944)

A one-page letter of November 21, 1944, from U. E. Bowes, director of research at the Owens-Illinois Glass Company, to Dr. Leroy U. Gardner of the Saranac Laboratory, after a meeting in Pittsburgh with Gardner and A. C. Hirth. Bowes asked Gardner to proceed with whatever studies were needed to find whether the material made at Berlin, New Jersey, was a hazard "either to employees engaged in the manufacture of it or to others in the use or installation of it." He also asked how Owens-Illinois should test while the material was "being sawed or otherwise handled during application."
