Mr. Orville Benson, Manager
Edison, N.J.
Dear Sir:-
Owing to a matter which once up here unexpectedly, I was unable to go to Edison today, and will have to defer my visit until sometime next week.
Mr. Randolph sent you yesterday, formal order for one hundred tons of scrap iron. You may fill this with the elevator buckets from elevators one, two, three, four, five and six; the elevator wheels and the scrap on dock near Bricker plant. Do not, however, scrap the elevator clamps or oil cups, as we will need them all for future work. The pins in the elevator buckets should be broken out and put one side by themselves, and you will then make up a car load of steel scrap. Do not break up any of the buckets that were on conveyors three, four and five, or these that are now on Scraper conveyors, as we will send all these buckets in our future work.
Please take a lot of the conveyor wheels that are broken in the hubs and break them through the rims, and see if they show any chill. If not, we could put the broken ones in with this lot of machine scrap.. However, if they show any chill, it would not be safe if it might condemn the whole lot.
Yours very truly,
W.S. Mallory
