A copy of a one-page letter of November 30, 1953, from T. H. Boyd, safety engineer of Raybestos-Manhattan's Manhattan Rubber Division in Passaic, New Jersey, to the state Department of Labor and Industry, answering Order No. 4823 on the safety stop of press #4824 in Department 53. Boyd proposed instead to run cables across both open sides of the press to the handles of its "Quick-as-a-Wink" valves, so an operator could stop the rising press "by a hand, or his chin." He argued a foot device would be hindered by spilled soap and water and by a table beside the press, noting that "At the time the employee was injured he was warming flat pans in the press."
