H3C Xe GR & DC, CableiQbl 38 Regents Park Road, Mi I I brook, Southampton S09 I PE, ENGLAND. February 8, 1980. Bear Alan, Mr. Gaetan Levert, an instrument technologist in my group, will be spending the week of March 10 with Fi I trona at Alperton to learn how to maintain and repair the various Fi I trona quality control instruments which are used in our factories and laboratory. if it is possible we would also like him to visit GR & DC where. we believe, he could profitably spend a week mostly with Arnold Cronshaw's group. He is particularly interested in the design and operation of dilution measuring equipment, including the Hauni on-line equipment, paper porosity testers etc. In addition you presently have in Southampton our new firmness profile integrator and as it incorporates new components he would like to learn from your people how to maintain this equipment. I telephoned Arnold Cronshaw Wednesday to see what dates might be convenient and to detemi ne the length of stay necessary. It was agreed that Gaetan should plan to spend the week of March 17 in GR & DC, but would leave earlier if the entire week should not be required. There is the possibility that he may need to go to Hauni in Hamburg but this decision will depend on the progress Hauni makes during the next few weeks in installing equipment including their on-line dilution gauge on one of your makers in GR & DC. Incidentally Arnold knows Gaetan from his visits to Montreal. If this proposed visit to Southampton is acceptable to you, could you please arrange hotel accommodation in Southampton for Gaetan for the nights of March 16 (late arrival) to March 20 inclusive and in London (at a modest rate if such is available) for the night of March 21. He plans to return to Montreal March 22. I hope that we shall have the opportunity of meeting in the not too distant future. With kind regards. Yours sincerely, Z RSW/ps R.S. WADE. C.C. Mr. R. M.
