		Kettering and the bureau were so worried about the press that all official correspondence used the trade name Ethyl rather than the word "lead" to avoid leaks to the newspapers, "as this term is apt to prejudice somewhat against its use," according to the superintendent of the Pittsburgh field station.
		Kettering's level of interest in iron carbonyl indicates that he was ready, after the deaths in Dayton, Deepwater and then Bayway, to abandon lead and move forward with iron.
