Reading through it, sounds like pissing match with the Detroit plant.

Hard to read because it's a little blurry and small. Any way you could transcribe it?

transcribing

In a nut shell, Ransom was not happy with F Smith about putting in an experimental engine room, apparently this not the first time that he has tried getting things done on the hush.

Funny how, even though you can tell Mr. Olds was highly ticked off, he still took the time to write Mr. Smith a nice note warning him that he was coming down to kick his behind. It's the industrial equivalent of the bigger, tougher guy saying "put up your dukes" in a bar fight.

And I wonder what was in that experimental engine room... The first W Machine??

If memory serves me right, Ransom left the company with in the next year, according to history that Fred Smith and Ransom clashed serveral times.
