[Apologies from the moderator for the double posting of Greg Ransom's 
previous message. My computer outsmarted me. --E-MS] 
 
Among other research projects I pursued in the archives at Hoover 
was a lead found in Fritz Machlup's 1935 essay on Knight and capital 
theory.  Machlup mentions a series of letters on capital theory and the 
problem of the period of production between himself and Marschak, Mises, 
Hayek, and Haberler.  This turns out to be a survey questionaire sent 
out by Machlup on the problem, with letters of response from all of the 
aforementioned, and a summary final report to all correspondents by 
Machlup.  All of this original correspondence is found in German in the 
Fritz Machlup collection at the Hoover Institution.  As far as I am 
aware this material has not been published or translated.  It would make 
I should think, a dandy research project for a graduate student.
