Communication from C. H. Lyne Foundry and Machine Co.:
Miami, Florida,
August 20, 1923.
Hon. City Manager and
Board of Commissioners,
Miami.
Dear Sirs:
In reference to the bids for sewer castings which you are
now considering, we wish to state that, in making our bids, we have
interpreted your specification of "touch gray iron" as meaning a mix-
ture of selected scrap iron and not lees than 25% of standard pig iron.
Though considerable more expensive, the use of pig iron is
important, as it incrcaees the strength of the castings, which other-
wise would be brittle and easily broken.
We are the only concern in Miami using any pig iron and the
castings which we have furnished this city for a number of years are
good 1-roof of the quality of .;ur output and of the advantage of us-
ing pig iron in making the same.
The use of at leant 25, rig iron in municipal castings is
a positive requirement in most of the cities of the ljxiited States and
we trust you: will notoverlooh this feature in awardi.rg the two con-
tracts now under consideration.
Yours truly,
2. E. LYNi:
