[Letter from Alex Bradford to Gustave E. Bonadio - October 2, 1944]
Letter from Alex Bradford to Gustave E. Bonadio discussing various topics related to the firefighting profession and closely related tangents. Mr. Bradford asks for a copy of Dr. Theobold’s book on Hydraulics be sent to his permanent PO box in Burbank, California. He additionally mentions that he was asked to write a book on firefighting techniques for “PITMAN” but ultimately chose not due to his specialization in Class B fires and his unconventional take on extinguishing fires. Mr. Bradford confirms the existence of an article on “Loaded Streams” at the New York Public Library published in Oil and Gas Journal between 1929-1931 by Dr. Charlie Thomas of Thomas & Hochwalt Research Laboratories in Dayton, Ohio. Discussing the various United States Military branches and how they have been approaching firefighting within their respective branches. Focused primarily on the Navy, Army, and Coast Guard. Finally, Mr. Bradford mentions that there are new chemical developments used for firefighting, however they are not the ideal concoction for putting out blazes.
