Page 2957 1 maintenance held at Brentwood, Essex, Great Britain by 2 Ford of Great Britain; is that correct? 3 A It may well have been sponsored by Ford, but 4 it is my understanding there were representatives from 5 other companies present. 6 Q And the exposures to brake mechanics I think 7 you mentioned were discussed there? 8 A Yes. 9 Q But at that time, am I correct, that you 10 weren't invited to go and you weren't aware of it? 11 A I was not aware of that particular meeting, 12 no. 13 Q And you mentioned a moment ago in connection 14 with the brake dust survey in 1973 that Ford was 15 beginning to prohibit the use of compressed air for 16 its plant or for its own employees; is that correct? 17 A I believe, to be correct, it was to prohibit 18 the use of blowing off of brakes in general, and I 19 think that applied at all test facilities. And that 20 was done at that same time by Bendix and, I think, 21 virtually everyone else in the industry.
