Chicago, November 29, 1900
I have your letter of 26th, and enclose two pages of my article (which please return with corrections) covering all that I have said about my own experiments, and what I have just added about yours. You can be alluded to by name, or as manufacturers, as preferred. The detailed accounts to be published by yourselves.
I make out that you have diminished the head resistance by 2/3 instead of by 1/3 as I indicated in the German article of April 1899 (page 41) which I sent you. I figure out the equivalent area to be:
| For man | 1 | sq. ft. instead of | 5 | sq. ft. in my double-decker |
| For framing | 2.25 | sq. ft. instead of | 4.02 | sq. ft. in my double-decker |
| Making | 3.25 | sq. ft. total | 9.02 | sq. ft. in my double-decker |
| ___2 | lbs. per sq. ft. | ___2 | lbs. per sq. ft. | |
| Resistance | 6.50 | pounds | 18.04 | pounds |
This is a magnificent showing, provided that you do not plow the ground with your noses.
