MTV djt ILLINOIS n Movember Tenth 1 9.2 7 Athletic Association University of Illinois Urbana, Ill'iois Gentlemen: ATTENTION: Mr. Ben Orackel Mr. H. E. Degler has worked out several schemes for removing the ashes from the base of the boiler room in the northwest Tower* It is my opinion that his Method 7 is the best because it eliminates hand labor on top. The elevator delivers the ashes direotly into the truck. &and labor is the most expensive item in any operating budget. If the work can be done by power it will be much cheaper. Objection may be raised to the portable conveyor. My idea is that it would be kept in the garage at all times except when in actual use. Method 6 is like Method 7 except that the ash is dumped on a concrete slab and then shovelled into the truck. Placing the ash elevator against the west wall as shown in methods 6 and 7 is by far the best. Continual trouble will arise if ash is delivered at the same point that coal is received. We will await your further orders before we proceed* ^lev~ reee Very truly yours, — -•*— _ . P/pf essor * Stearn Engineering JAP:D t /
