Report of Visit by Dr.-J. F. Knox to Keasbey and Mattison Company October 2, 1952 'll - C> Koosbav Uattlson Works. Aafolar. On 2nd Ootober I vu reoeived by Ur, at Ambler and before lunch hod a Works tour, I impressed them vith the fact that ay visit eras mainly social and as there was no textile work here it was not likely to arouse interest frea the asbestosia angle, Ur. oohnelder and the i ersoonol Manager took me for a Works tour and it was evident that a good grasp of the essential preventive points existed. hero again a mixing aroa was an ixisolved problem, baling operations were well thought out from the point of view of worker protection. The dust oounta, as they oonoem less fibre lure, ore more realistic and the manager receives regular repoxts in which green, yellow and red rings indicate a safe or a dangerous concentration at onoe on the circulated reports. At an afternoon session with the Works Doctor, Ur, Stabler, it appeared that he worked oloaely with the Personnel Manager who soeusd to be charged with the outturn of arranging for X-ray$ and the problem of Interpreting the reports to the worker. Dr. stabler was frank in his admission of frequent confusion in the face of contradictory reports from medioal institutions in the Ihilsdclphla area and welcomed s contact with another worker in this field. He was not familiar with any autopay studies and did not feel much ocnfldenoe in any local medical authority except Dr, Pendergrass, a radiologist who contributes to Dr. Lansa's book.
