film revealed nothing of significance.
Samples were submitted to Ft. Dodge
with that facility reporting an inability
to determine the composition of the dust, hut discounting the presence of Audiccrte.
(#2) A synopsis of our findings was then transmitted to the Architect. (#3) Sub
sequently, the Andrev Jergens Company ran Spectogrems of Acoustical plaster samples
which purported to clearly establish Auflicote in dust samples taken from the area
in question. (jh) The Job wan then inspected by quality consultant, R. Ries, who
was unable to find any evidence of faulty application or product failure. He did
report minor scars in the celling, apparently from people touching the surface
while using the stairs. (;5)
.
nonetheless, the spectrogram report run by the Andres Jergann Company Ivas convin ced that firm, together with the General Contractor and the owner that our product has failed and they are now looking to un for correction.
Additional samples hare been obtained from the Job and arc: submitted concurrently-- we must have a more definite laboratory report cm the ccxapositlon of the uonple > so that we nay hand 1 this complaint from a position of positive knowledge as to whether or not Audicote is involved.
