Asphalt Saturated Asbestos Pelt
P.C. Johnson C*A* Homan/
UD Adams C.R* Dickinson
As you know wa have had too many complaints recently on the quality of the asbestos felt manufactured at PJ*
A* 1} Hesvy edge saturation causes sticking in the roll*
2) Poor perforation of the sheet*
Kr Dickinson consulted with fi.D* Adams on March 9, 10*. 11* and Car-roll Homan on P&reh l^fch* fhe following recommends tiohs were
/made and are in the process of being implemented*
B* 1} i'o correct the edge saturation additional wipers will be installed on the edge of the sheet* this Saturday, March 20th*
2) fhe perforation problem will be more involved* It seems that the perforations are excellent as they depart from the pin-roll and anvil-roll* It was thought that we would improve perforation by grooving the anvil-roll, t- is has already boon dona* bur problem seems to be where the sheet passes over the three pull-rolls, after departing from, the pin-roll* She pull-rolls tend to close the perforations, e ere conforming to suggestions by grooving the three pull-rolls*
Mr* Homen inspected three competitive products, Johna-Manvillo Philip Carey, and G.A.P,, while he was here March lj>th, and It was his opinion that only Johns--Manvillo had a superior perforation of their product. He thought that both Carey and G*A.F, were inferior to Bird & Son*
I will make aura that the necessary follow-up is made and thafall suggestions are implemented.
