13 direct sales. Did Eaton Airflex sell its Airflex
13 A It was something that phased out over a period of
14 products through distributors?
14 time up through the late '80s, early '90s.
15 A No.
15 Q When did that phase-out begin?
16 Q All of its sales were direct sales?
16 A Late '70s.
17 A That's correct, at that time.
17 Q And how did that phase-out take place? Was that
18 Q Okay. At any point did Eaton or Airflex sell
18 -- did Eaton just start with certain products, find a
19 Airflex clutches through distributors?
19 non-asbestos replacement for those and move on to
20 A Yes.
20 other products over time?
21 Q Okay. When would that have taken place?
21 A Yes.
22 A It would have been mid, late '80s when we started 22 Q Prior to the late '70s, were all -- did all
23 using distribution. Prior to that, it was all direct

13 clutches; is that right?
14 Q Okay. How hot?
14 A Correct.
15 A It could get 900,000 degrees. It could get

16 warning about the hazards of asbestos during the time
17 MR. LANG: Just for purposes
17 that asbestos-containing friction material was used on

7 industrial hygienist to consult regarding asbestos?
8 A Yeah, mid, late '80s.
8 A No, they didn't.
9 Q Was there any -- was there ever any warning that
9 Q Do you know if Eaton has ever had any
10 compressed air should not be used to clean Airflex
10 Workers' Compensation claims arising out of a claim of
11 clutches in the manuals?
11 exposure to asbestos?
12 A In the later ones as they were being revised.
12 A I'm not aware of it.
13 Q And again, this would have been the mid to late
13 Q Is that anything that you investigated in
14 '80s?
14 preparation for your deposition today?
15 A Yes.
15 A No.
16 Q Did the clutches or the friction material

17 themselves ever carry any kind of label or tag that
17 Safety Data Sheets, for its clutches or replacement
18 would indicate that they contained asbestos friction
18 friction material?
19 material?
19 A Yes.
20 A Not that I'm aware of.
20 Q And do you recall when that first happened?
21 Q And I think you said earlier that Eaton Airflex

2
3 friction material?
3 (Plaintiffs Exhibit 3 marked for
4 A He said the expanding type, and we have to assume 4
identification.)
5 that was the E type. That would have been in the
5
6 early, mid-80s.
6 Q Mr. Petkash, ifyou could take a look at Exhibit
7 Q Do you know when Eaton first became aware that
7 No. 3. And would you agree that it appears to be an
8 asbestos was a hazardous material?
8 MSDS created by Eaton Airflex for friction material?
9 MR. LANG: I just object to the
9 A Yes.
10 form, foundation.
10 Q And if you look at the bottom of the second page,
11 Q Go ahead and answer it.
11 I believe it's dated 1985?
12 A No, I don't.
12 A Yes.
13 Q Do you know if Fawick Corporation before the
13 Q And going back to the first page, this friction
14 merger was ever a member of any trade organizations?
14 material has asbestos in it, correct, according to
15 A No. Again, not that I'm aware of.
15 Section II?
16 Q Are you aware of any trade organizations that
16 A Line numbered 1 says, "Chrysotile Asbestos," yes.
17 Eaton had membership in during your employment there? 17 Q And next to that line showing the asbestos
18 A No.
18 content there's a double asterisk; is that correct?
19 Q Were you, yourself, a member of any trade
19 Do you see that?
20 organization while you were employed with either
20 A Yes.
21 Fawick or Eaton?
21 Q And if we look further down the page, the
22 A No.
22 asterisk is telling us to see Section VI, right?
23 Q Did Fawick or Eaton ever provide any kind of
23 A Yes.
24 annual medical exams for its employees?
24 Q And Section VI is on the second page at the top.
25 MR. LANG: Let me just object
25 And it is a section - the print isn't very good, but
9 (Pages 33 to 36)

Page 39
1 it's labeled, "Health Hazard Data," correct? 2 A Oh, up -- yes. 3 Q And a couple lines down under the section 4 labeled, "Chronic Toxicity Effects," among other 5 things it says that asbestos is a suspect carcinogen; 6 is that correct? 7 A Yes. 8 Q Do you know was asbestos a suspect carcinogen in 9 1985? 10 MR. LANG: Once again, I'm 11 going to just object to the form, 12 foundation. Go ahead. 13 A That's what the form says. 14 Q Do you know if Eaton created any MSDS for 15 asbestos-containing friction material earlier than the 16 one we see here in 1985? 17 MR. LANG: I'll just object to 18 the extent of the scope, and it's 19 beyond any potential Airflex 20 testimony. Go ahead. 21 Q This is with respect to -- I'm sorry -- Eaton 22 Airflex, any Eaton Airflex friction material? 23 MR. LANG: Could we just 24 have an ongoing thing with that? 25 When you reference Eaton, I don't
1 Q Do you know if Eaton Airflex ever created an MSDS 2 for asbestos-containing friction material that listed 3 asbestos as a known carcinogen rather than a suspect 4 carcinogen? 5 A No. 6 Q Did Eaton ever have a written respiratory program 7 for its employees who were working in the Airflex 8 plant? 9 A I don't know. 10 Q Were you ever in the manufacturing areas at the 11 Eaton Airflex facility? 12 A Often. I didn't work there. I just -- walking 13 through. 14 Q Walking through, did you ever see people wearing 15 any sort of masks or respirators while working with 16 friction material? 17 A I don't recall. 18 Q Do you know if the manufacturing facility ever 19 had any sort of dust collection or ventilation system? 20 A There were dust collectors around some of the 21 machines. 22 Q Okay. Which machines? 23 A There were some that -- and this, again, is in 24 the '70s time period -- where they were doing some 25 drilling of friction material.

4 Q And you started there in 1963, correct?
5 about the products?
5 A Correct.
6
MR. KIWALA: Yes. When we're
6 Q Do you recall any sort of industrial hygiene
7 talking about questions about the
7 testing being done at Eaton Airflex; anybody coming in
8 products, I'll restrict that to just
8 to the plant to take dust samples?
9 the Airflex products.
9 A No. I'm sorry. I saw a document yesterday,
10 MR. LANG: Because when you 10 actually, where they had done some testing in the R&D
11 say, "Eaton," so we're going to be on
11 lab of Eaton Airflex. But not in the factory itself,
12 the same page, we're assuming it's
12 but in the R&D lab. And they found that there was
13 Airflex you're talking about.
13 no -- the concentrations were very low, well below the
14 MR. KIWALA: Yes.
14 standards, allowable standard.
15 MR. LANG: Okay. Great.
15 Q Okay.
16 MR. KIWALA: If it's
16 MR. KIWALA: Cheryl, can we
17 otherwise, I'll say so.

(Plaintiffs Exhibit 4 marked for
21 you know if Eaton had created any MSDS for 21 identification.)
22 asbestos-containing friction material for use on
22
23 Airflex products earlier than this document here?
23 Q Okay. Mr. Petkash, I want you to take a look at
24 A I was not aware of them. I had never seen this 24 what's been marked as Exhibit No. 4. And it appears
25 before.

1 A Correct. 2 Q And unfortunately on the first page, the 3 letterhead kind of cuts off there. But if you turn to 4 the second page, the signature line, it indicates that 5 the author is a Jack Dauch, I guess, D-a-u-c-h, 6 Manager of Occupational Health Services, correct? 7 A Correct. 8 Q And at any rate, this letter, if you look at, 9 again, top of the first page, purports to be enclosing 10 the results of recent asbestos sampling performed at 11 the Eaton Airflex plant. Would you agree? 12 A First line, yeah. 13 Q Yeah. And this letter is addressed to Eaton 14 Airflex, attention to Mr. Steve Trukalo? 15 A Yes. 16 Q Do you know what Mr. Trukalo's position at Eaton 17 Airflex would have been at that time? 18 A He was the factory manager. 19 Q And I take it you don't have any recollection of 20 this testing? 21 A No. 22 Q Let's go back to the second page, top of Page 2. 23 And it lists the asbestos concentration that was found 24 in the samples that were taken. And in six of the 25 seven samples, it shows the asbestos fiber
1 Q Was the R&D lab ventilated? Did it have any sort 2 of ventilation? 3 A Yes, it did. 4 Q Okay. 5 A There were fans and dust collectors and things in 6 that area. 7 Q In the testing that you saw, were the fans and 8 dust collectors operating when the testing in the R&D 9 lab was taking place? 10 A Yes. 11 Q I think we're done with this letter. 12 MR. KIWALA: Cheryl, can you 13 mark ~ it's No. 7 in the stack. 14 15 (Plaintiffs Exhibit 5 marked for 16 identification.) 17 18 MR. KIWALA: And, Chris, this 19 is one that was not from the Eaton 20 production, is not an Eaton document. 21 MR. LANG: Before you ask any 22 questions about this -- 23 MR.

6 clutches"; is that right?
6 A No.
7 A That's correct.
7 Q Okay. Do you know if anybody did any testing to

8 see ifthis information applied to specifically the
9 No. 17 in the stack. And this is FAW
9 Eaton Airflex products?
10 17152.
10 A No.
11 11 Q Okay. And in this letter, Mr. Rosenow is
12 (Plaintiffs Exhibit 16 marked for
12 instructing Mr. Baltz to forward this information that
13 identification.)
13 came from Mr. Sydor on to the customer, right?
14 14 A Yes.
15 Q Okay. And if you look at No. 16, it's another
15 Q Okay. And there's nothing in this letter about
16 Eaton inter-office memo, this time from Mr. Rosenow to 16 giving the customer the information that came from
17 R.L. Baltz, who 1 believe is the individual who
17 NIOSH in 1975 that indicated wear dust from brakes and
18 brought up the inquiry that was addressed in that
18 clutches was dangerous. Do you agree with that?
19 first letter that we saw dated September 7th; is that
19 A Yes. It just said pass on this information.
20 right?
20 Q Just the information that came from Mr. Sydor,
21 A Correct, from Exhibit 12.
21 right?
22 Q And this letter appears to be passing on the
22 A Right.
23 information that came from Mr. Sydor at National
23 Q Okay. And that information from NIOSH is
24 Friction, right?
24 information that Eaton Airflex had had for about a
25 A Yes. Paraphrased it, in fact.
25 year by the time this letter was written, right?
Page 74
Page 76
1 Q Okay. And the second paragraph there says that 2 the friction material in Airflex clutches is about 50 3 persons asbestos by weight, right? 4 A Yes. 5 Q Okay. And then that paragraph goes on to say 6 that clutching and braking causes surface temperatures 7 to get very high, which causes the asbestos to convert 8 to something else, correct? 9 A Correct. 10 Q Okay. And you had mentioned earlier that the 11 clutching and braking causes very high temperatures, 12 right? 13 A Yes. 14 Q And when I asked you how hot, you said in the 15 neighborhood of 900 to a thousand degrees, right? 16 A Yep. 17 Q And this goes on to say that the amount of 18 asbestos that's left after that conversion from 19 asbestos to something else, whatever asbestos is left 20 is inconsequential in terms of being a health hazard, 21 right? 22 A Yes. 23 Q And 1 don't think we talked about specifically 24 when we were looking at Exhibit No. 15, but that is 25 basically what Mr. Sydor said in his letter; isn't it?
1 MR. LANG: I'll just object 2 to the form, foundation. Go ahead. 3 A I don't know the timing. 4 Q Let's go back and take a look at that. This was 5 Exhibit No. 6. Yeah. And that memo there in Exhibit 6 No. 6 is dated September 2, 1975, right? 7 A Yes. 8 Q Okay. And if you turn the page, the article is 9 stamped "Received" by the sales department on August 10 26th, 1975, right? 11 A Yes. 12 Q So Eaton Airflex had had this information for a 13 year by the time that the letter from Mr. Rosenow to 14 Mr. Baltz was written? 15 A Yes. 16 Q Let's take a look at the handwritten note at the 17 top of the Exhibit there, Exhibit No. 16. Do you know 18 whose handwriting that is? 19 A Robert Burks. 20 Q I'm sorry? 21 A Robert Burks, R.L. Burks. 22 Q R.L. Burks. And what was his position? 23 A He was a marketing manager. 24 Q Okay. And it appears from the note here that 25 Mr. Burks is directing a general memo go out to the

1 field providing this same information, right?
1 the memo mentions that there has been some concern
2 A Yes.
2 about exposure to asbestos from the use of Airflex
3 Q Okay. And so basically, this is going to be
3 products, right?
4 information that anybody in the field is going to give
4 A Yes.
5 to Eaton Airflex customers when they have questions
5 Q Okay. And the purpose of this letter is to
6 about asbestos release, right?
6 address those concerns, right?
7 A Correct.
7 A Clarify this matter, yeah.
8 Q And the purpose is so they can eliminate most of

16 asbestos." Yes, that was the intent of sending out a
16 Q Let's turn to the second page of Exhibit No. 17.
17 general memo.
17 And on the second page, second paragraph down, again
18 Q Okay.
18 we have this information that high temperatures during

19 the engagement of a clutch or brake break down the
20 No. 18 in the stack.
20 asbestos and whatever is left isn't dangerous,
21 MR. LANG: What's the number?
21 correct?
22 MR. KIWALA: Oh, I'm sorry.
22 A Yes.
23 FAW 18330.
23 Q Okay. And just above that, in the last sentence
24 24 in the paragraph above it, it says the asbestos
25 (Plaintiffs Exhibit 17 marked for
25 content in the friction materials varies from between

24 A Yes.
24
25 Q Okay. And at the bottom of the first page there,
25 Q And while your counsel is reviewing that letter,
20 (Pages 77 to 80)
POHLMANUSA COURT REPORTING (877) 421-0099
Page 81
Page 83
1 we talked about the temperatures that the friction 2 material gets up to. And you had said earlier during 3 the engagement of a clutch or brake, we're looking at 4 temperatures of between 900 and a thousand degrees, 5 correct? 6 A That's what I said, yes. 7 Q Okay. 8 A (Witness reading.) okay. 9 Q Okay. And I believe we're at No. 18 now? 10 A Yes. 11 Q If you take a look at Exhibit No. 18, it appears 12 to be a letter from Mr. Rosenow to Mr. Sydor. And 13 this is dated October 22, 1976, right? 14 A There's no signature page. I can't say -- 15 Q You don't have the second page? 16 A No. 17 MR. KIWALA: Is it there or 18 missing? That's the one. That's the 19 third strike. 20 THE WITNESS: 17108. 21 MR. KIWALA: 17109? 22 THE WITNESS: 17108. 23 THE NOTARY: 17109. 24 MR. KIWALA: Okay. That 25 would be it.
1 Q And, in particular, if you look at the second 2 paragraph, he's talking about that information about 3 asbestos converting to harmless minerals at high 4 temperatures, right? 5 A Yes. 6 Q Okay. And it notes that in the materials that 7 Mr. Sydor sent with his letter, there was a reference 8 to this breakdown of asbestos into harmless minerals 9 occurring at 900 degrees. Do you see that in the 10 letter? 11 A Yes, I do. 12 Q Okay. And below that, Mr. Rosenow says for the 13 most part, Airflex clutches and brakes don't get that 14 hot, and he wants to know exactly what temperature 15 this conversion is taking place at, right? 16 A Yes. 17 Q Okay. So at least according to Mr. Rosenow, 18 Airflex clutches and Airflex brakes don't get as hot 19 as 900 degrees, correct? 20 A I've seen many applications where there was 21 flames coming out of them. So there's some 22 applications that were very severe to the point where 23 it probably exceeded, well exceeded the 900 degrees. 24 They get very warm. 25 Q Was it -- strike that.

3 Q Okay. So now you have the second page of that
3 Q Okay. Now, let's go down to the next paragraph.
4 letter, right?
4 In that next paragraph, Mr. Rosenow is saying that if
5 A Yes. Same letter. It was written by Rosenow.
5 the conversion isn't taking place from asbestos to
6 MR. LANG: Wait for a question.
6 those harmless minerals -
7 Q Again, this is the letter from Mr. Rosenow to
7 A Due to heat, yeah.
8 Mr. Sydor at National Friction?
8 Q ~ due to heat, then isn't abrasion the cause of
9 A Yes.
9 the wear dust in the clutches, right?
10 Q And this one is dated October 22, 1976, correct? 10 A Yes.
11 A Yes, that's right.
11 Q Okay. And then he says if that's the case,
12 Q Okay. And that's four days after, if you look at
12 aren't we emitting more asbestos than what Mr. Sydor
13 Exhibit No. 16, right, the letter, that went from
13 had suggested?
14 Mr. Rosenow to Mr. Baltz?
14 A He's asking that question --
15 A Uh-huh.
15 Q He's asking that question.
16 Q That's four days after -
16 A -- whether it is or not.
17 A Yes.
17 Q Whether that's happening?
18 Q - that letter that went out with the information
18 A Right. It's not a fact at that point.
19 to tell the customer that came from Mr. Sydor, right? 19 Q And again, this is four days after Mr. Rosenow
20 A Yes.
20 told Mr. Baltz to forward the information that came
21 Q Okay. Now, Exhibit No. 18, this letter from
21 from Mr. Sydor, right?
22 Mr. Rosenow to Mr. Sydor, it's asking some questions 22 A Right.
23 about the information that Mr. Sydor had given earlier 23 Q Okay. So would you agree that at this point,
24 to Eaton Airflex, right?
24 four days after Mr. Rosenow instructed Mr. Baltz to
25 A Yes.

23 go ahead and mark No. 22. And this
23 Q And Section 7.3, they got that drum temperature
24 is a few pages long, but it's
24 up to about 225 degrees again, right?
25 starting at FAW 09783.
25 A Yes. There's a difference, though, between the

3 the first page. And can you tell me, what's the
4 Bates numbers aren't in sequential
4 highest temperature that the material at issue is to
5 order, so let me just give them to
5 be tested at here, highest drum temperature, anyway?
6 you. It's FAW 22672, 10285,22673
6 A It says, "550 degrees Fahrenheit."
7 and 22671.
7 Q And on the second page, what's the highest
8 8 temperature?
9 (Plaintiffs Exhibit 21 marked for
9 A 400.
10 identification.)
10 Q On the third page?
11 11 A 700.
12 Q Okay.
12 Q And the fourth page?
13 A Okay.
13 A 400.
14 Q Mr. Petkash, we're looking at what's been marked 14 Q Okay. Do you know if the expanding-type clutches
15 as Exhibit No. 21. And these appear to be a series of 15 would be operating at different drum temperatures than
16 test requests that were issued at various points in
16 what we've seen here with the constricting-type
17 the 1980s, correct?
17 clutches?
18 A '83, '84, yeah.
18 A The E type would be similar to the VC.
19 Q And all of these test requests are being made by 19 Q Okay.
20 a gentleman by the name of Jim Latsko?
20 A The EB type, expanding, would be similar to the
21 A Yes.
21 CB tests.
22 Q And what position did he hold at this time?
22 Q Okay. And at any point on these pages do we see
23 A He was a -- I think his title was principal
23 a procedure that's calling for subjecting the friction
24 engineer. He was a design engineer.
24 material to a drum temperature higher than 700
25 Q And let's just look at the first page, in that
25 degrees?
Page 94
Page 96
1 Section 1.0 in the preface. It says the purpose of 2 the test that's being requested is basically -- well. 3 I'll just read it. "Because of the potential health 4 hazards associated with asbestos, including the 5 possibility of additional government controls and/or 6 regulations, it is desirable to eliminate the use of 7 asbestos in our friction materials." Did I read that 8 right? 9 A Yes. 10 Q Okay. So the purpose of this - and it says -- 11 would you agree it has similar language in those 12 preface sections on each of the subsequent pages? 13 A It's identical. 14 Q Okay. So would you agree that these -- the 15 purpose of these tests to be performed are to help 16 Eaton Airflex find a replacement for asbestos 17 materials that were being used at that time? 18 A Yes. That's what it says. 19 Q And if you look in the "Objective" section on 20 each of these, they're testing material that will 21 qualify for use in either VC or CV design clutch, 22 correct? 23 A Yes. 24 Q Okay. And those are, again, the constricting 25 type?
1 A No. 2 Q And, again, your testimony is that the 3 asbestos-containing friction material on Airflex 4 clutches would get in the neighborhood of between 900 5 and a thousand degrees, correct? 6 A Yes. Many that I saw. 7 Q Okay. And what we saw from Mr. Rosenow, his 8 letter says that the clutches do not run as hot as 900 9 degrees; is that right? 10 A Yes. 11 Q Okay. And I understand you say there's a 12 difference between the drum temperature and the 13 temperature on the friction material. But we don't 14 see drum temperatures in any of these testing 15 documents getting higher than 700 degrees, right? 16 A That's correct. 17 Q And that 700 degrees only happens one time, 18 right? 19 MR. LANG: Let me just object 20 to the form and foundation. Subject 21 to what you're reviewing, you can 22 answer. 23 A It appears in one of the test requests, yes. 24 Q Okay. 25 A In an application it could happen often.

1 Q I know you say you've seen many instances where 2 asbestos friction material on an Airflex clutch is 3 getting in the neighborhood of 900 to a thousand 4 degrees. Can you direct me to any document that would 5 show that happening? 6 A No, I don't -- no, I don't know of any documents 7 that show that. 8 Q Okay. And again, the sales memo that we saw 9 earlier that went out to the whole sales force said to 10 tell customers who are asking that normal operating 11 conditions on the clutch get the friction surfaces so 12 hot that the asbestos is converted to a harmless 13 material, right? 14 A Yes. 15 MR. K1WALA: Let's go ahead 16 and mark No. 24. This will be 17 Exhibit No. 22. We are a little bit 18 after noon. Let's take a break. 19 Could we go off the record. 20 21 (Plaintiffs Exhibit 22 marked for 22 identification.) 23 24 VIDEOGRAPHER: We're going 25 off the record. The time is now
l AFTERNOON SESSION 2 (1:00 p.m.) 3 VIDEOGRAPHER: We're back on 4 the record. The time is now 12:58. 5 You may proceed. 6 BY MR. KIWALA: 7 Q Okay. Mr. Petkash, we're back from lunch. And 8 you have in front of you what's been marked as Exhibit 9 No. 22. And just to make sure, this was Bates No. FAW 10 24173? 11 A Yes, I have it. 12 Q And that appears to be a letter from you to 13 Marc Collins, dated April 26th, 1983, right? 14 A That's correct. 15 Q Okay. And in the first sentence there of that 16 letter, it says - you say, "The need for non-asbestos 17 friction material is reaching a crisis stage," right? 18 A Yes. 19 Q Can you explain to me what you meant by that, 20 "crisis stage"? 21 A Well, it's further mentioned that customers are 22 insisting that we supply them with clutches and brakes 23 that had non-asbestos material. And if we didn't, we 24 weren't going to sell it. So that, from a sales 25 perspective, is a crisis in that we're not going to be

1 able to sell something, so we'd better do something to 2 satisfy those customer requirements. 3 Q Didn't -- Eaton Airflex was developing and 4 introducing using non-asbestos friction material on at 5 least some of its clutches as early as the late '70s, 6 you testified earlier, right? 7 A Correct. 8 Q Okay. In 1983, how many products still offered 9 only asbestos-containing friction material out of the 10 line -- out of the line of Eaton Airflex products? 11 MR. LANG: Just object to the 12 form, foundation. 13 A It's hard to quantify. The progression took 14 several years. And this was actually rather early in 15 the overall progression. 16 Q Okay. So at this point, there weren't that many 17 products that had -- 18 A Again, I'm -- no, there weren't that many 19 products. 20 Q Okay. And just to be clear, there weren't that 21 many products in 1983 that had a non-asbestos friction 22 material available for them? 23 A No. 24 Q And I guess that non-availability of a 25 non-asbestos friction material was what was causing

2 A It was threatening our business, yes.

3 Q And a little bit further down, you say that you

5 residue is not harmful, but you say they don't believe
5
6 you. And I know it says, "us" and "we" in the 6 MR. KIWALA: This is No. 23,
7 letter. I guess would that be the Eaton Airflex sales

and the Bates number is FAW 24219.
8 force is giving this message to the customers?
8 Q Mr. Petkash, if you'll take a look at what's been
9 A Yes.
9 marked as Exhibit 23. It appears to be a letter from
10 Q Okay. And the customers are not --
10 the Ecusta Paper and Film Group of Olin Corporation.
11 A And then utilizing that sales department letter
11 And the letter is dated June 23rd, 1983?
12 that Bob Rosenow had written several years prior. 12 A Yes.
13 Q Okay. Was that sales department letter from
13 Q And Ecusta Paper and Film Group, this sounds like
14 1976, was that given directly to customers; would they 14 it might have been a paper mill customer of Eaton
15 see that actual development?
15 Airflex?
16 MR. LANG: Object to the
16 A Yes.
17 form, foundation.
17 Q Was the paper-making industry, just in a general
18 A Most likely, yes.
18 sense, a big customer for Airflex Products?
19 Q Do you recall getting any feedback from the
19 A Yes, it was.
20 customers about why they didn't believe this message 20 Q Okay. And do you know if the ~ in the address
21 that they are getting?
21 here it just states Eaton Corporation. It doesn't
22 A No, I don't remember anything specific.
22 specifically mention the Airflex Division.
23 Q And at the close of your letter, you say, "We
23 Do you know if this Ecusta Paper and Film Group
24 must increase our efforts in this direction," meaning
24 was a customer for Airflex products specifically?
25 working towards non-asbestos replacements, correct? 25 A No, no, I don't know that specifically.
Page 102
Page 104
1 A Yes. 2 Q "We must increase our efforts in this direction 3 before we start losing orders as a result." Were you, 4 in fact, losing orders because of the asbestos issue 5 at this point, when you wrote this letter? 6 MR. LANG: Object to the 7 form, foundation. 8 A Oftentimes you don't know that; you just lose 9 it. And it's just ~ you may not hear from the 10 customer that they've gone elsewhere. It's just that 11 you don't get the business. 12 Q Do you recall Eaton Airflex losing customers at 13 this point in time? 14 A Not a specific name, no. 15 Q And just as a general matter, do you recall that 16 around 1983, when this was -- when you wrote this 17 letter, were you seeing a drop-off in the number of 18 customers Eaton Airflex had for its products? 19 MR. LANG: I'll just object 20 to the form, foundation, asked and 21 answered. Go ahead. 22 A No. It's hard to quantify. It could just be a 23 different business atmosphere. You don't know. 24 MR. K1WALA: Let's go ahead 25 and mark what's No. 25 in the stack
1 Q Okay. In the letter, Ecusta is mentioning that 2 they're purchasing products from Eaton that may 3 contain asbestos, and it might be being used by 4 employees who are not aware that there is asbestos 5 present in the product, right? Do you see that? 6 A Yes. 7 Q And they're asking Eaton to put a label or a tag 8 on the asbestos-containing components that will stay 9 there with the component till the point of use, right? 10 A Yes. 11 Q Do you know if Airflex ever put that kind of 12 label or tag on its asbestos-containing products or 13 components? In 1983, were they doing that? 14 A In 1983,1 don't know. But we did at some time. 15 Q At some point you did? 16 A Yeah. But I don't know that specific time 17 period. 18 Q Do you have a sense -- would you be able to give 19 me an estimate in terms of years when that practice 20 may have started? 21 A It would have been in the mid-80s, something 22 around that time. But I don't know, you know, if on 23 June 24th we started putting labels on. I don't know. 24 Q Would you agree that without a label or a tag of 25 the kind that Ecusta is asking for here, a worker who
26 (Pages 101 to 104)

1 number of products. Would you agree?
2 wouldn't necessarily be able to tell that the product,

5 A Yes.
6 Q If it was an Airflex product in service, a worker

7 encountering an Airflex product in service, would they 7 A Yes.
8 be able to tell whether or not that Airflex product
8 Q And the VC is a constricting clutch?
9 had an asbestos component to it?
9 A Yes.
10 MR. LANG: Same objections.
10 Q All right. And it says that the decision was

16 Q Would you agree that if the worker doesn't know
16 that.

20 that product?
20 A Yes.
21 MR. LANG: Same objections.
21 Q Would that be true for all products falling under
22 A Yeah, I guess they wouldn't.
22 these categories?

24 they're not going to know that they need to take 24 to the form, foundation. Go ahead.
25 precautions, right?
25 Q For instance, would that be true for all VC, E,

1 A Right.
1 VE, DBA, and caliper products?
2 MR. LANG: Same objections.
2 MR. LANG: Objection.
3 MR. KIWALA: Can we move on, 3 A Yes.
4 and let's mark what's No. 26 in this
4 Q And if you look further down in the paragraph, it
5 stack. And this is Bates No. FAW
5 looks like they're still working on finding a
6 24333. It's a two-page document.
6 replacement for the friction material for CS, CT, and
7 7 CB/EB products; is that correct?
8 (Plaintiffs Exhibit 24 marked for
8 A Yes.
9 identification.)
9 Q Okay. And the CS/CT and the CB/EB, again, those
10 10 are clutches, either constricting or expanding?
11 A Okay.
11 A The CS/CT were a spring set air release brake, a
12 Q Mr. Petkash, have you had an opportunity to
12 drum brake. The CB is the constricting unit. The EB
13 review Exhibit No. 24?
13 is the expanding unit.
14 A Yes.
14 Q Okay. So does this mean that at this point in
15 Q And this is an Eaton memo dated January 24th,
15 time, in January 1986, for the CB/EB products,
16 1986, right?
16 asbestos-containing friction material is being used?
17 A Yes.
17 MR. LANG: Same objections.
18 Q And it appears at the time, according to the
18 A That's what it would imply, yes.
19 first paragraph in that memo, the EPA was proposing a 19 Q Do you know if at any point Eaton Airflex was
20 ban on asbestos in all products, right?
20 offering Airflex products with both an
21 A Yes.
21 asbestos-containing version and an asbestos-free
22 Q And based on that proposed ban, if you'll look at
22 version? For instance, with a style E clutch, was
23 the bottom of the page, last paragraph, it appears
23 there ever a time when the style E clutch, you could
24 that the decision has been made to substitute asbestos

8 size of the clutch and the style of the clutch, when
8 Q Okay. Mr. Petkash, you've had time to review
9 that changeover occurred would vary in terms of when
9 what's been marked as Exhibit No. 25, correct?
10 exactly that changeover occurred, but for each one of
10 A Yes.
11 those styles, there would be at least some brief
11 Q And that is a letter titled, "Sales Department
12 period where there was both an asbestos-containing
12 Letter No. 87-7," right?
13 version and an asbestos-free version available?
13 A Yes.
14 A Actually, when we finally got production of a
14 Q And that's dated April 10th, 1987?
15 particular non-asbestos friction material, the --
15 A Yes.
16 whatever was in inventory was scrapped.
16 Q Okay. And this is another one of those memos
17 Q Was scrapped?
17 that goes out to all of the salespeople for Eaton
18 A Yeah. They scrapped it. They didn't continue to 18 Airflex, right?
19 sell them once we had a product that we could use on 19 A Correct.
20 that particular size.
20 Q And is this conveying information that's supposed
21 Q Okay. Do you know if there's any document that I
21 to be shared with the customers?
22 could find at Eaton that there's like a -- that would
22 A Yes.
23 serve as a guide for when specifically each style
23 Q Okay. And let's take a look at the fifth
24 would have changed over from an asbestos-containing to 24 paragraph down. And it's the second sentence. I'll
25 an asbestos-free version? Because as you said, it
25 just go ahead and read it. "The likelihood of

8 Q And if you look at the second page of that
8 A Yes.
9 letter, the last sentence says that the - if the
9 Q Okay. So here is in 1987 the sales department
10 testing that's being described in this letter is
10 letter saying that blowing out a clutch with
11 successful, the hope is that they can eliminate most
11 compressed air is a bad idea, correct?
12 of the asbestos products that Eaton Airflex has during 12 A Yes.
13 1986, right?
13 Q Do you know if prior to April 10th, 1987 Eaton
14 A Uh-huh.
14 Airflex had never sent that type of information out to
15 MR. LANG: Is that a yes?
15 its sales force?
16 A Yes. I'm sorry.
16 A Which type of information?
17 MR. KIWALA: Thank you.
17 Q The sentence I just read there, that -- the
18 Could we mark No. 28 in the

1 Q Okay. And what this letter indicates here is
2 This is No. FAW 17188.
2 that during that period, unless the customer
3 3 specifically asked for the non-asbestos version of the

5 correct?
6 6 MR. LANG: I'll just object
7 A (Witness reading.) Okay.
7 to form and foundation based on the
8 Q Mr. Petkash, you've had a chance to review
8 content of the letter. Go ahead.
9 Exhibit No. 26, which appears to be the Sales
9 A That's what this sentence says, yes.
10 Department Letter No. 86-04?
10 Q Do you know why Eaton Airflex would do that?
11 A Yes.
11 MR. LANG: Object to the
12 Q Okay. And this is that sales department letter

form, foundation. Go ahead.
13 that's being referred to in Exhibit 25, right?
13 A Because they hadn't yet received the replacement
14 A Right.
14 material. It didn't happen overnight.
15 Q Okay. Do you see anywhere in that sales
15 Q This says that, does it not, ifthe customer
16 department letter 86-04 any instruction saying not to
16 specifically asks for an asbestos-free product, they
17 use compressed air to blow out a clutch?
17 could get it up -- you know, prior to April 1 st of
18 A No, it doesn't say that.
18 1987, right?
19 Q Okay. So again, do you know of any prior to
19 A That doesn't necessarily mean that it would have
20 April 10th, 1987, any field memo or instruction to the 20 been available at the time they wanted it. If they
21 sales staff that said instruct the customers that
21 said okay, we want non-asbestos material, well, we
22 using compressed air to blow out a clutch is an
22 haven't made it yet. So it's going to be a month or
23 inappropriate method?
23 two months before we're able to supply it.
24 A No, I don't know of a document.
24 Q Let's go back to Exhibit No. 24, that January
25 Q Okay. Let's move on to the next paragraph --
25 24th memo of 1986, and look at the bottom paragraph on
Page 114
Page 116
1 back to Exhibit No. 25, the April 10th, 1987 memo.
1 the first page, second sentence. Actually, first two
2 And I'm going to read to you from that paragraph a
2 sentences. Does that indicate that as of January
3 couple sentences in. It says, "However, any orders
3 24th, 1986, there's a non-asbestos replacement
4 received after April 1st, 1987 for our CB, VC, E, EB,
4 material available and ready to go for VC, E, VE, DBA
5 VE, DBA, DP and HD product lines for use in non-slip
5 and caliper products?
6 applications will be shipped with non-asbestos
6 A Yes.
7 friction only."
7 Q Okay. And VE would be the expanding clutches,
8 So it was correct that after April 1 st of '87,
8 right?
9 those products that were listed just there would no
9 A Yes.
10 longer have asbestos-containing friction material?
10 Q Okay. So between January 24th, 1986 and
11 A Yes, that's what it says.
11 April 1st, 1987, if an Airflex customer came to
12 Q Okay. Now, let's look at the sentence prior to
12 Airflex with the request for an E style expanding
13 that. It says, "Over the past few months we have been 13 clutch with non-asbestos friction material, that was
14 depleting our inventory of asbestos friction materials
14 available to them, right?
15 by using it to fill orders where the customer has not
15 A Not necessarily. It says, "We agreed to
16 explicitly asked for non-asbestos materials." Did I
16 replace." That doesn't mean that on the 25th of
17 read that correctly?
17 January we had a pallet's load of non-asbestos
18 A Yes.
18 material in the house. It took months for that to
19 Q Okay. Does that mean that in the -- I guess
19 happen. It was a -- it's a long process. There's --
20 between January 24th, 1986 and April 10th, 1987, there 20 well, there's a variety of different sizes. They're
21 was a period where at least on several of these
21 used in different quantities. So it just doesn't
22 products there was both an asbestos-containing version 22 happen overnight. It takes a long time before that
23 of the product and an asbestos-free, right?
23 pipeline could be filled. And during that time, the
24 A Yes. That was the overlap that I was talking
24 asbestos would continue to be used.
25 about.
25 And if the customer explicitly asked to get
29 (Pages 113 to 116)

Page 119
1 non-asbestos material, he may have had to wait for
1 as these materials became available, that they were
2 months before he would get the product.
2 getting non-asbestos before. It isn't necessarily
3 Q Okay. Let's go back to that sales department
3 okay, as of this date, everything happens.
4 letter, 87-7, back to that paragraph.
4 Q Sir, have you ever heard of the Asbestos
5 A Okay.
5 Information Association?
6 Q And let's read it together. And it says, "Over
6 A No.
7 the past few months we have been depleting our
7 Q You don't know anything about that organization?
8 inventory of asbestos friction materials by using it
8 A I mean, let me think about that.
9 to fill orders where the customer has not explicitly
9 Q Let me ask you -- go ahead.
10 asked for non-asbestos materials."
10 A I seem to recall seeing some publications. I
11 A Right.
11 think they were published in Canada, actually. And
12 Q Okay. So they're able - they're filling
12 I'm not sure if that was the name of the organization
13 orders -- they're filling the orders for the
13 that published them, but there were some documents
14 asbestos-containing materials. But ifthe customer is
14 that I saw at a --
15 asking for a non-asbestos version, they're going to
15 Q Okay.
16 have to wait?
16 A -- at a trade show once.
17 A It's very possible, yes.
17 Q Do you know if Eaton was ever a member of the
18 Q Okay. You don't know that for sure?
18 Asbestos Information Association?
19 A Well, I worked at Airflex for a long time. I
19 A As far as I'm aware, they were not.
20 knew how long it took to deliver stuff. And when
20
MR. KIWALA: Okay. Let's go
21 we're making a change from one thing to another, it -- 21
ahead and mark Exhibit - I'm sorry.
22 regardless of how well it was planned, there always

It's No. 31 in the stack. It would

7 the record. The time is now 1:47.
8 A But the change could have very well taken a year
8 BY MR. KIWALA:
9 or more. It just doesn't -- it's not black and
9 Q Okay. Mr. Petkash, I want you to take a look at
10 white. It's not today we do, tomorrow we don't. It's 10 what's been marked as Exhibit 27.
11 a long transition.
11 A Yes, I did.
12 Q Okay.
12 Q And does it appear from the first page there that
13 A And like I said, there's many parts. There's
13 this is a list of Asbestos Information Association
14 probably -- I don't know the number, but there's
14 members dated December 1978?
15 several hundred different part numbers and types. So 15 A Yes.
16 it doesn't take -- it doesn't happen that quickly.
16 Q Okay. Let's turn to the back page of that
17 Q Okay. Well, based on what's in the memo here, is
17 document. This is, I believe, Page 6. And do you see
18 it true that if the - up until April 1st, if an
18 at the bottom of this page where it lists Eaton
19 Airflex customer didn't specifically request a
19 Corporation as a member?
20 non-asbestos product, what they would get was an
20 A Yes.
21 asbestos-containing product?
21 Q Okay. Do you know Richard Poirier?
22 MR. LANG: Let me just object
22 A I did not.
23 to the form and foundation of that
23 Q Okay.
24 question.
24 A It's a corporate person. That's the headquarters
25 A It very well could have been that prior to that,
25 address. It wasn't Airflex.

1 Q Where did Airflex have its plant?
1 what the AIA had to say in its submission in 1976?
2 A On Clinton Road on the west side of Cleveland.
2
MR. LANG: I'll just object
3 It's a suburb, Brooklyn.
3 to the form, foundation.
4 Q And this gentleman, Mr. Poirier, appears to be at
4 A Yes.
5 100 Erieview Plaza in Cleveland, Ohio?
5 Q Would this suggest to you that Eaton had
6 A Yes.
6 involvement with the Asbestos Information Association
7 Q Okay. Is that like the headquarters address?
7 at least as early as 1986?
8 A That's the headquarters, although I think it's a

MR. LANG: Same objections
9 different address now.
9 and scope.
10 MR. PETTICORD: Yeah.
10 A I have no idea.
11 Q So would you agree that Eaton Corporation was a 11 Q And, sir, I asked you earlier ifyou were a
12 member of the A1A in 1978?
12 member of any trade organizations, and I believe you
13 MR. LANG: I'll just object to
13 said no; is that right?
14 the form, foundation.
14 A That's correct.
15 A That's what the list says. I don't know. I
15 Q Okay. In your lifetime, have you had a chance to
16 didn't know the individual. I wasn't aware that we 16 join maybe not trade organizations, but maybe other
17 were a member.
17 types of organizations?
18 Q When you were preparing for deposition today, did 18 A No. I'm not a joiner.
19 you do any type of investigation about what
19 Q Not a member?
20 memberships Eaton Corporation may have had?
20 A No. Health club.
21 A I did not.
21 Q Okay. All right. No volunteer organization
22 Q Did anybody ask you to?
22 or-
23 A No.
23 A No.
24 MR. KIWALA: Let's go ahead.
24 Q Well, let me ask you this: If you were joining
25 Can we mark what is No. 32 in the
25 an organization, would you want to know something

1 stack. And Chris and Dave, for your 2 reference, it's the 1976 -- it's a 3 two-page document. 4 5 (Plaintiffs Exhibit 28 marked for 6 identification.) 7 8 A (Witness reading.) Okay. 9 Q And this is Exhibit No. 28. Have you had a 10 chance to review that document? 11 A Yes. 12 Q And this would appear to be a letter enclosing a 13 submission to the Department of Labor regarding 14 asbestos regulation, correct? 15 A Yes. 16 Q And that's from the Asbestos Information 17 Association, and dated April 8th, 1976, right? 18 A Yes. April 8th. 19 Q April 8th. And the second page of that Exhibit 20 contains a list of companies. And at the top of the 21 page it says, "The following companies and trade 22 associations have endorsed this statement." And do 23 you see Eaton Corporation on that list? 24 A Yes. 25 Q So this would indicate that Eaton was endorsing
1 about that organization before you joined? 2 MR. LANG: I'll just object 3 to the form of that question, 4 foundation. Go ahead. 5 Q More specifically, would you want to know what 6 the goals and aims of the organization were before you 7 joined? 8 MR. LANG: Same objection and 9 scope. 10 A Certainly. But your -- that's a lot of 11 speculation. And since I don't intend to join, I'm 12 not interested in evaluating different organizations. 13 MR. KIWALA: Let's go ahead 14 and take a look and mark No. 33 in 15 the stack. 16 17 (Plaintiffs Exhibit 29 marked for 18 identification.) 19 20 Q I'll just have you look at the first page of that 21 right now. 22 A Okay. (Witness reading.) 23 Q And Exhibit No. 29, do you agree that it appears 24 to be a transcript of a presentation given by a 25 Matthew Swetonic, Executive secretary of the AIA?
31 (Pages 121 to 124)
POHLMANUSA COURT REPORTING (877) 421-0099

Page 127
1 MR. LANG: I'll just object 2 to the form, foundation. 3 A That's what the document says. 4 Q And it's -- it says that the presentation was 5 given on June 7th, 1973? 6 A That's the date on the document, yes. 7 Q Okay. And the title of the document is, "Why 8 Asbestos"? 9 A Yes. 10 Q Okay. If you look at the first paragraph on the 11 transcript, would you agree it's asking the rhetorical 12 question why asbestos is being singled out as a target 13 in various groups, right? 14 A Yes. 15 Q If you look a little bit further down in the 16 paragraph that starts with the word "First" -- 17 A I see it. 18 Q Okay. Would you agree that the presenter, again, 19 Mr. Swetonic, says in that paragraph that part of the 20 reason is because asbestos -- part of the reason that 21 asbestos is being singled out is because asbestos does 22 cause disease, right? 23 MR. LANG: I'll just object 24 to the form, foundation. 25 A The key word in that sentence is "substantial".
1 the negatives press about that, no one is paying 2 attention; is that right? 3 MR. LANG: I'll just object 4 again to the form, foundation, your 5 knowledge as to what someone else may 6 have been thinking or implying. 7 Go ahead. 8 A You're adding to the negativity by saying it was 9 killing people. 10 Q Does cancer not kill? 11 MR. LANG: Hold on. Object 12 to the form, foundation, beyond the 13 scope. 14 A It wasn't saying it here. That's not what it 15 said. It said it was dangerous, but in substantial 16 quantities. 17 Q And this was a statement made in 1973, right? 18 A Yes. 19 Q Okay. And we've seen a document showing Eaton 20 being a member at least in 1978? 21 A Yes. 22 Q Okay. So by that time, they would have been 23 aware that this statement had been made by somebody on 24 behalf of the AIA? 25 MR. LANG: Hold on. Wait.
Page 126
Page 128
1 Q But it does say it does cause disease, right? 2 A Substantial amounts. 3 MR. LANG: Let me make an 4 objection. Object to the form, 5 foundation. And I'll state the 6 document speaks for itself. 7 Go ahead. 8 Q And it mentions two forms of cancer? 9 A That's what it says. 10 Q And he goes on to say that in his office, he has 11 a file of more than 2000 medical papers dealing with 12 the health risks of asbestos; is that right? 13 MR. LANG: Same objections. 14 A Yes. 15 Q Let's move on to the eighth page of the 16 transcript. It should be labeled Page 8 at the top. 17 A Okay. 18 Q And look at the fourth paragraph down. And that 19 says, "And the good news is that despite all the 20 negative articles on asbestos-health that have 21 appeared in the press over the past half-dozen years, 22 very few people have been paying attention." 23 So the presenter here is saying that yes, 24 asbestos does cause disease and does cause cancer and 25 kills people, but the good news is that despite all of
1 Let me just object to the form. That 2 lacks foundation. There's no way 3 that connection could be made based 4 on what we've seen thus far, so I'm 5 going to object to the form and 6 foundation. 7 Q Go ahead and answer if you can. 8 THE WITNESS: Should I 9 respond? 10 MR. PETTICORD: If you can. 11 MR. LANG: If you can. 12 A Well, in this document itself he says he's got 13 2000 articles and more being written every year. 14 Would anyone be able to read all of that and absorb 15 all that information? Unlikely. 16 Q I'm sorry. I'm not asking about the articles. 17 I'm asking about the statement made by Mr. Swetonic. 18 By the time that Eaton was a member, would they -- 19 they would have had access to and been aware that this 20 statement had been made by somebody representing the 21 Asbestos Information Association? 22 MR. LANG: Again, same 23 objection as before. We're talking 24 about a statement that was made in 25 '73, and then Eaton's knowledge
32 (Pages 125 to 128)

12 A Yes.
12 record. The time is now 2:08.
13 Q You made it fairly far up the ranks, at least
13 BY MR. KIWALA:
14 within the Airflex Division, correct?
14 Q Mr. Petkash, I just want to go back to an issue
15 A Mid-level manager I guess you could say.
15 we talked about in a couple points earlier today. You
16 Q And over that time, you gained some sense of the
16 testified earlier that it's your understanding that
17 corporate culture there in Eaton; did you not?
17 the friction material on Airflex clutches during their

18 normal engagement gets to somewhere between 900 and a
19 little -- very little contact or involvement with the
19 thousand degrees, correct?
20 corporate people. My involvement was simply with
20 A That's what I said, yes.
21 Airflex.
21 Q And we saw earlier a letter from Mr. Rosenow that
22 Q Do you have any idea why Eaton would associate
22 indicated that the friction material did not get that
23 itself with a group that made statements such as the
23 hot, correct?
24 statements made by Mr. Swetonic?
24 A Yes.
25 MR. LANG: Again, let me just
25 Q Okay. And you're unable to recall a specific

1 object to the form, foundation, calls 2 for speculation. It's beyond the 3 scope. 4 MR. PETTICORD: Argumentative. 5 MR. LANG: That's part of the 6 form. There's no possible way he can 7 answer that question. Really? Come 8 on. 9 Q Personally, as an employee of Eaton, would you 10 want the company to be associating itself with an 11 organization that made those kinds of statements? 12 MR. LANG: Let me just object 13 again, form, foundation. This is 14 argumentative. You've got to stop 15 that. Come on. He's here for the 16 Airflex Division. You know your 17 questions are improper. This is an 18 improper line of questioning 19 altogether. 20 MR. PETTICORD: Finish the 21 objection. 22 MR. LANG: I'm going to make 23 my objection to form, foundation, 24 argumentative, beyond the scope. 25 speculation. You can try and answer
1 document that says that the friction material on 2 Airflex clutches is getting up to 900 to a thousand 3 degrees, correct? 4 A Documents, no. But I've seen -- I've witnessed 5 clutch engagements that obviously were at those 6 temperature levels. Maybe even higher. 7 Q Okay. And that's what I wanted to find out. 8 Obviously you have something that you're basing that 9 statement on. Can you tell me -- you said you've seen 10 clutches in service that you believe are getting that 11 hot? 12 A Yes, I did. 13 Q Okay. And I think earlier you said that some of 14 them had fire coming off them. Is that part of the 15 normal engagement or operation of a clutch or brake? 16 A Normal, no. Something wasn't going right. 17 Q Okay. So that wasn't supposed to happen? 18 A No. 19 Q So if you saw flames coming off the clutch, 20 that's not normal operation of the clutch, right? 21 A Correct. 22 Q Okay. Do you have anything else other than 23 visual observations of a clutch in service that you 24 take as a basis for your statement that the friction 25 material is getting up to between 900 and a thousand

16 currently 2:13. This deposition
17 Q Let's see. Mr. Collins was in engineering,

18 right?
18 We're going off the record.
19 A He was an engineering manager at one time, yes.

21 asbestos was being used in friction material for

2 2 Airflex clutches, right?
2 2 Robert Petkash

2 4 he and National Friction, yes.

1 A Yes. 2 Q Do you know if Mr. Collins is still alive? 3 A I think so, but I don't know that for a fact. 4 Q Okay. We also talked about the gentleman, 5 Jim Latsko, who was in the, I guess, in the testing 6 department? 7 A He was a design engineer. 8 Q Design engineer. 9 A Principal engineer, I think, was his title. 10 Q Okay. Do you know if Mr. Latsko is still alive? 11 A I think so. 12 Q Okay. Do you know where he lives? 13 A I think he lives in Parma, Parma, Ohio. 14 Q Do you know if he's still employed by Eaton? 15 A He is not. 16 Q Retired? 17 A Retired, yeah. He and I are about the same age. 18 Q Do you think he might have more knowledge about 19 this topic about the temperatures that friction 2 0 material gets up to? 21 MR. LANG: I'll just object 22 to the form, foundation, calls for 2 3 speculation. 2 4 A I don't know if he has knowledge on it. He was 2 5 the tester engineer.
