A copy of a one-page letter of February 3, 1954, from T. H. Boyd, safety engineer of Raybestos-Manhattan's Manhattan Rubber Division, to J. G. Strong, state safety inspector in Clifton, New Jersey, proposing guards for the Baker Perkins mixers in the Bowling Ball Department. Following the National Safety Council's Accident Prevention Manual, a switch would cut mixing power when the mixer was tilted, and an "inching" button at least 8 feet away would give only a momentary burst of power to move the blades for cleaning. A handwritten note records: "Mr. Strong called me on 2/6 and said OK to go ahead as we had outlined."
