To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:
Documentation, drawings, specifications and/or, photographs of signage used to indicate dangerous chemical, radioactive, and biological hazards before 1970 (when standard symbols began to proliferate).
Some examples of these types of interesting symbols are (but are not limited to):
A rectangular hot pink label with radiating yellow bands described in literature to have been used to indicate an infectious organism hazard before the contemporary biohazards symbol was adopted. This symbol was reportedly used in US Navy laboratories.
Similarly, the US Army reportedly used an inverted blue triangle bearing the term "BIO" previous to adopting the universal biohazard symbol. A yellow inverted triangle marked "GAS", a white inverted triangle marked "ATOM", and a red inverted triangle with a horizontal yellow stripe marked "GAS MINES" may have also been used by the US Army.
The National Institutes of Health reportedly used a red and black sign to mark areas restricted due to biohazards.
The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.
In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 20 business days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
Cody Harris
