Mr. W.L. Saunders, Vice President
The Ingersoll-Sergeant Drill Co.,
Havenmeyer Building,
New York City
Dear Sir:--
We have received an inquiry from one of Mr. Edison's friends, asking permission to present our re-heater to the Metropolitan people, and before answering it, Mr. Edison thought that we better make inquiry of you as to what you had done in this matter; also whether you preferred to take up this matter with them or have a third party do so.
Mr. Edison feels confident that if the re-heater is made of large enough capacity, so that the air will go through slowly, there will be no trouble whatever from burning out or from ashes. Our experimental work here goes to show that this is correct.
As stated in previous letter, he feels that the [illegible] park test was not a fair one, and it was a good like trying trying to take 400 H.P. out of a 100 H.P. boiler by forced draft.
Yours very truly,
Mr. W.L. Saunders, Vice President
The Ingersoll-Sergeant Drill Co.,
