W. H. Dunn to M. F. Judd on Raybestos-Manhattan's Costs for Otto Binder, 1934 and 1935 (1936)

A one-page letter of January 7, 1936, from W. H. Dunn, comptroller of Raybestos-Manhattan at Passaic, New Jersey, to Morton F. Judd of the company's Raybestos Division at Bridgeport, reviewing "the arrangement with Johns-Manville covering Mr. Otto L. Binder," the dust counter the two companies shared. Judd had told him the arrangement worked well and that Binder's report "had been found instructive and valuable." Dunn totaled what Raybestos-Manhattan had paid since May 1934: $1,935.48 in salary and $983.27 in travel, $2,918.75 in all. He sent a copy to Mr. Weber.

What it shows

The letter puts a figure on Raybestos-Manhattan's share of the dust-counting arrangement it made with Johns-Manville in 1934, under which the two companies split the cost of Binder's work on Metropolitan Life's survey of their plants (see Vandiver Brown's letter of May 29, 1934). Dunn's earlier letter to Miss Judge is November 11, 1935.
