1955/09/05: Sterling Morton to Clarence E. Godshalk (3.104973)
Date: September 5 1955Creator: Morton, Sterling
Type: Document
Description:Letter from Sterling Morton to Clarence E. Godshalk. Go ahead with your trip up north. Dr. Miller, President of [Northwestern] University will arrange a tour for you of the [Morton Medical] Research Building. He is familiar with the Sunbeam sprinkler. The model that rolls up is cumbersome because the grass clippings stick to the hose and make it difficult to roll. The model that doesn't roll up is satisfactory. It will go around corners, and he shares his solution. Mr. Baker mentions that Hattis is drawing up figures for an underground sprinkler system. Some are better than other; advantages and disadvantages to each. He's glad to see the construction progress on the Administration Building. He's glad they are going ahead with clearing sites at the South Farm while Carroll's equipment is there. He will return to Chicago for the fall, until December.
