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?

 

wow!! nothing changes

 

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.

 

Gotcha...wonder what happened to F Smith at that meeting lol!

 

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.
