To the extent that this
Interrogatory seeks information for any state other than
Maryland, this Defendant objects to this Interrogatory on the
basis that it is overbroad and it seeks information which is not
relevant to the subject matter of this litigation and is not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence.
Without waiving the above objection, and insofar as this Interrogatory pertains to Maryland, this Defendant states
that McCormick Asbestos Company was a distributor of this Defendant's asbestos-containing products. In 1953, this
Defendant entered into a sales agreement with Owens-Corning
Fiberglas Corporation under which it agreed to the sale of
asbestos-containing products to that corporation. This Defendant
believes that it ceased the general marketing and sales of its
asbestos-containing thermal insulation products at that time,
-18-
disbanded its sales force, and that thereafter, Owens-Corning Fiberglas Corporation was the primary marketer of its products until the sale of the division to Owens-Corning Fiberglas Corporation in 1958, and that these circumstances are the reason that it does not have records or correspondence which would enable it to answer this Interrogatory for the period after 1954.

-19-
RESPONSE NO. 21:
This Defendant ceased the
manufacture, sale and distribution of asbestos-containing thermal
insulation products in 1958. This Defendant states that in 1953
it entered into a "Sales Agreement" under which it agreed to sell
certain amounts of its asbestos-containing thermal insulation
products to Owens-Corning Fiberglas Corporation. Furthermore,
this Defendant has found information sin its records which
indicate that in at least 1956, it placed Owens-Corning Fiberglas
Corporation's logo on some of its boxes. This Defendant does not
have information sufficient to further respond to this
Interrogatory.
INTERROGATORY NO. 22:
State the following with
respect to the packages and containers in which you sold,
distributed or otherwise furnished each of the asbestos products
described in your Answer to Interrogatory Nos. 8 and 19 on a

-20-
defendant made appropriate efforts to provide ventilation and to
control the emissions of all dust emitted during the
manufacturing process within recognized save levels of exposure,
including the use of respirators in some instances, dust
collection equipment and other devices as necessary. Therefore,
during the period in which this defendant was in the business of
manufacturing Kaylo it had no reason^ to believe that the
foreseeable use of Kaylo would create a hazard to users.
The documents produced by Owens-Coming Fiberglas
Corporation indicate that the September, 1955 publication in the
A.M.A. Archives of Industrial Health was a publication of
inhalation experiments.
To the extent that this -interrogatory seeks the
production of documents, such documents, as outlined in this
response, have not been found as part of this defendant's records
and, to the extent that this defendant is in possession of copies
of documents, it possesses copies only of documents collected in
preparation for litigation. This defendant objects to producing
the same. The documents are available from their proper source.
INTERROGATORY NO. 39:

RESPONSE NO. 39:
This defendant objects to this
interrogatory on the grounds that it seeks information which is
not relevant to the subject matter of this litigation and is not
reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible
evidence except as it relates to the period of time within which
this defendant manufactured its asbestos-containing products.
Without waiving the above objection, this defendant
states that insofar as this interrogatory refers to associations
or organizations of which this defendant was a member during the
time when it manufactured asbestos-containing products, it was a
member of the Industrial Hygiene Foundation (which changed its
name to the Industrial Health Foundation in 1970) for the years
1936 through 1975. This defendant was not a member of any of the
other organizations about which this interrogatory inquires.
INTERROGATORY NO. 40:

(f) The title, author, publisher, date and dates of acquisition of each such article and book for each such library.
RESPONSE NO. 47:
During the period of time pertinent
to these actions, this defendant did, not maintain an entity which
would be characterized as an industrial hygiene, medicine, safety and/or engineering library. However, this defendant believes
that a separate engineering library may have been maintained by
its technical facility. This defendant also states that although
it has no records indicating the existence of such a library, upon becoming involved in asbestos-related litigation this
defendant listed all the publications which were in its then-
existing industrial hygiene library. These publications are
listed on Exhibit II. This defendant has not yet determined
which, if any, of these publications were in this defendant's
possession during the time it manufactured, sold and distributed asbestos-containing products.

including asbestosis, pneumoconiosis, mesothelioma, lung cancer
and other cancers.
RESPONSE NO. 48:
This defendant objects to this
interrogatory as being irrelevant and not reasonably calculated
to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence and not limited
-44-
to any issue which is the subject of this case. This defendant
further objects to this interrogatory on the grounds that it
seeks information within the work-product privilege and on the
ground that it is oppressive and burdensome in that it would have
to review all of the files and all of the records of all of its
attorneys all over the country to respond to this interrogatory.
INTERROGATORY NO. 49:
If your Answer to
Interrogatory No. 48 is in the affirmative, identify:

pneumoconiosis, mesothelioma, lung cancer and other cancers, with
any other person, corporation or other business entity, including
co-defendants in this action.
RESPONSE NO. 50:
This defendant objects to this
interrogatory insofar as it may seek to discover work product of
counsel and trial preparation material. Without waiving such
objection, this defendant states that it ceased the manufacture,
sale and distribution of asbestos-containing products and does
not have any records of having interchanged any of the material
referred to in this interrogatory with any of the other

RESPONSE NO. 98:
This defendant objects to this
interrogatory on the grounds that it seeks information which is
not relevant to the subject matter of this litigation and is not

liability coverage by its insurer, Aetna, for some of the actions
brought against it which allegedly result from the use of
asbestos-containing products.
INTERROGATORY NO. 99:

not found any information in its records pertinent to a record or
document retention policy during the period when it manufactured
its asbestos-containing products or for the period of years
shortly thereafter. In accordance with the contract for the sale
of the Kaylo division, in the ordinary course of business
-72-
relating to such sale, and because of the production of certain
documents by counsel for Owens-Corning Fiberglas Corporation in
several jurisdictions involving asbestos-related litigation in
the United States, this defendant believes that most of its
records pertinent to the Kaylo division were either transferred
or made available to the purchaser of the division in 1958. This
defendant states that it has not destroyed any documents or
records pertaining to the Kaylo division which have been found in
its records in 1975 (the year in which this defendant first
became aware of asbestos-related actions against it) and
thereafter.

To: All Defendants, to be answered individually and separately by each Defendant. Plaintiffs, by their attorneys, John T. Enoch, John
Amato, IV, and Goodman, Meagher & Enoch, request Defendants to answer the following Interrogatories. The Interrogatories are to be read and answered in accordance with the following instructions and definitions.
a. These Interrogatories are continuing in character and, in accordance with the Maryland Rules, you are required to supplement your answers promptly after you obtain further material information.
b. Where knowledge or information of a person is
requested or possession or control by a person is inquired of,
such request or inquiry includes knowledge, information,
possession or control of or by the person's agents,
representatives, and, unless privileged, the person's attorneys.
c. When the identity of a natural person is
requested, the request or inquiry includes the home address,
business address, and his former and present position or job
title and business affiliation, and, if the person is a
corporation or association, the address of its principal place of
business.
d. When the identity of a document is requested, the
request or inquiry includes the type or title of the document,
its date, its author, and its present custodian. In lieu of
identifying any document, a copy may be annexed to the answers to
these interrogatories. The term document shall be read to
include any paper, graphic material, film, tape, disc, recorded
matter, or stored computer data.
.
e. As used herein, the terms "you" and "your" refer
to the defendant corporation answering these interrogatories, its
predecessors, parents, subsidiaries and affiliates, if any, its
present and former officers, executives, directors, agents and
employees, and all other persons acting or purporting to act on
behalf of Defendant.
f. Present tense should be construed as also,
including the past tense where appropriate.
-2-
g. The singular should be construed as also including the plural and the plural should be construed as also including the singular where appropriate.
h. If you are unable to answer any'of these interrogatories completely, answer to the extent possible, specifically, and state whatever information or knowledge you have concerning the unanswered.

As used herein, "asbestos products" and "asbestos-containing products" are inclusive terms, used interchangeably, and include, but are not limited to: asbestos, raw asbestos, mined asbestos, milled asbestos, asbestos compounds, material and products containing asbestos and the asbestos particles, dust and fibers resulting therefrom.
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT Some of the events which may be relevant to the matters inquired about by Plaintiffs' Interrogatories apparently occurred more than thirty-five years ago. In addition, effective April 30, 1958, Owens-Illinois, Inc. disposed of the business involved in this action by way of sale of that business to Owens-Corning Fiberglas Corporation. Since that time, Owens-Illinois, Inc. has not engaged in any such business. It does not now and it has not since that sale manufactured, distributed or sold any asbestoscontaining products. As a result of the foregoing factors, many of the individuals who might have had personal knowledge of the matters to which Plaintiffs' Interrogatories relate are deceased, or are otherwise unavailable to Owens-Illinois, Inc., and
3-
investigations to date indicate that at least some documents
which relate to matters inquired about by these Interrogatories
may have been transferred to Owens-Corning Fiberglas Corporation
with the transfer of the business in question in 1958. Owens-
Illinois, Inc. is engaged in a continuing investigation in an
attempt to locate, confirm the transfer of, or confirm the
absence of, such documents and is also engaged in a continuing
investigation into the matters inquired about in these
Interrogatories. Unless otherwise stated in an answer to a
specific Interrogatory, the answers set out hereinafter are
limited to the period during which Owens-Illinois, Inc.
manufactured asbestos-containing insulation products and to the
facilities related to that business. The following is a part of

This answer is accurate as of the date made. However, Owens-Illinois, Inc.'s investigation is continuing, and OwensIllinois, Inc. cannot exclude the possibility that it may be able to obtain more complete information or even information which indicates that the answer being supplied is incorrect. Owens-Illinois, Inc. objects to answering this Interrogatory in regard to any period of time other than the period during which it engaged in the business involved in this case which ended in mid-1958 or concerning any facility not related to that business, on the basis that any such answer would be irrelevant to the subject matter of the pending litigation, would not be reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence, and would be burdensome and oppressive.

industrial insulation was manufactured in two forms, block and
pipe covering. It was a premolded, rigid product which was not
intended or required to be molded or mixed in application. It
was manufactured in standard premolded shapes and sizes intended
to minimize cutting of pieces in application. It appears that
the product was applied by methods including gluing, tying,
strapping, or wiring it to pipe. It appears that a limited
amount of its product was cut during application. Roof deck was
intended to be laid on or fastened to building frame members and
waterproofed. Core material was intended to be used as a center
layer for fire doors.

RESPONSE NO. 30:
This Defendant objects to this
Interrogatory on the basis that it seeks information which is not
relevant to the subject matter of this litigation and is not
reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible
evidence, except as it relates to the period of time during which
this Defendant engaged in the manufacture, sale and distribution
of its asbestos-containing products. Without waiving its
objection, Defendant states that the following individuals acted
as chief medical officers from the date when Defendant first
manufactured asbestos-containing products until the present time.
Charles Shook, M.D., deceased, employed from March 25, 1946 until
June 30, 1960 was the Medical Director during the period in which
this Defendant manufactured, sold or distributed asbestos-
-25-
containing products. This Defendant's chief medical officer is responsible for assuring and promoting preventive and corrective medical programs, services and practices to protect and preserve employee health and productivity throughout Owens-Illinois, Inc. The individual in this position develops, organizes, introduces and implements pre-employment and periodic examinations as well as new health programs in order to insure the continued well being of Defendant's employees in a safe and healthful environment. The person in this position is also responsible for the quality of medical services at Owens-Illinois locations. W.G. Hazard was employed as this Defendant's industrial hygienist during the period of time in which this Defendant engaged in the manufacture, sale and distribution of asbestos-containing products. Mr. Hazard has retired from this Defendant's employ and currently resides at 3609 Mapleway Drive, Toledo, Ohio 43614. This Defendant objects to further answering this Interrogatory on the grounds that it seeks information not relevant to the subject matter of this litigation and not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence except as it relates to the period of time within which this Defendant manufactured its asbestos-containing products. This Defendant has no records which describe the precise duties and responsibilities of its industrial hygienist during the time when it manufactured its asbestos-containing products, nor is its industrial hygienist currently an employee of this Defendant. However, Defendant believes that the industrial hygienist was responsible for the health aspects of employee working environments.

INTERROGATORY NO. 31:
Identify any medical
examination program offered or sponsored by you or your insurance
carrier, from 1930 to the present, for employees handling or
otherwise exposed to asbestos and/or asbestos products. With
respect to each such program, indicating applicable time periods,
state:
.
(a) The manner of communicating with employees about such program;
(b) Whether examination was optional or mandatory and, if the latter, how frequently such examination was required;
(c) What percentage of employees permitted to undergo such examination actually participated;
(d) What percentage of employees who underwent such medical examination were found to have pneumoconiosis, asbestosis, mesothelioma, lung cancer or other cancers; and
(e) With respect to the employees referred to in your Answer to Part (d) of this Interrogatory, what percentage of these employees were paid disability, and/or worker's compensation benefits and for what percentage of employees were medical expenses paid for purposes of treatment of such condition.
RESPONSE NO. 31:
This Defendant ceased the
manufacture, sale and distribution of asbestos-containing
products in 1958 and does not have any records from which it can
obtain information sufficient to answer this interrogatory.
During May, 1979, various papers and reports were
produced by an employee of the Trudeau Institute, Mr. Allan
Logie, regarding animal experiments conducted at laboratories at
Saranac Lake involving dust collected during the Kaylo
manufacturing process. These papers and reports may contain
information relating to the substance of this interrogatory. The
employee, Hr. Logie, had no personal knowledge about the course
or conduct of any such experiments, the preparation of papers and
reports he produced or the retention or completeness of those
-27
papers and reports. Therefore, he could not authenticate these papers and reports. This defendant has not been able to find these papers and reports in its business records or correspondence although it has searched for and continues to search for them.
This defendant's counsel obtained copies of some of the papers and reports produced by Mr. Logie. However, these copies constitute only a portion of a larger volume of papers and reports which this defendant has not copied. They are available at Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy, One Chase Manhattan Plaza, New York, New York. This defendant also has reason to believe that plaintiffs' counsel has copies of the documents produced by Mr. Logie. Other documents possibly relating to this interrogatory may have been produced by Owens-Corning Fiberglas Corporation.
Those documents found at Saranac Lake and at OwensCorning Fiberglas Corporation and elsewhere, which this defendant cannot authenticate, indicate that during the period of time when Owens-Illinois was in the business of manufacturing asbestoscontaining products, those products contained a relatively small proportion of asbestos. The inhalation of asbestos dust in excessive amounts over a prolonged period of time (years), under certain conditions, could lead to the potential hazard to factory workers of contracting a disease known as asbestosis. Those documents further indicate that the asbestos dust produced in the manufacture of Kaylo apparently could lead to this potential hazard where exposures were in excess of recognized safe limits,
-28-
that plant workers were not exposed to levels above the
recognized safe limits that users were not exposed to dust levels
above the recognized safe limits, and that Kaylo plant employees
were x-rayed annually and displayed no asbestos-related chest
disease. From the foregoing documents, it further appears that
this defendant made appropriate efforts to provide ventilation
and to control the emissions of all dust emitted during the
manufacturing process within recognized save levels of exposure,
including the use of respirators in some instances, dust
collection equipment and other devices as necessary. Therefore,
during the period in which this defendant was in the business of
manufacturing Kaylo it had no reason to believe that the
foreseeable use of Kaylo would create a hazard to users.
The documents produced by Owens-Corning Fiberglas
Corporation indicate that the September, 1955 publication in the
A.M.A. Archives of Industrial Health was a publication of
inhalation experiments.

INTERROGATORY NO. 55:
State your knowledge relating
to the meaning of "threshold limit value" as it pertains to
asbestos exposure and disease.
RESPONSE NO. 55:
This defendant understands the term
"threshold limit value" as it pertains to the asbestos trade to
mean the maximum average atmospheric concentration of asbestos
dust to which workers may be exposed for an eight hour day
without injury to health. During the period of time this
defendant manufactured, sold and distributed asbestos-containing
products, the threshold limit value for asbestos dust, as taken
-47-
from the published transactions and other material of the
American Conference of Governmental and Industrial Hygienists was
5,000,000 particles of asbestos dust per cubic foot of air.
INTERROGATORY NO. 56:
With reference to "threshold
limit value" (which, for purposes of this interrogatory, means
how much asbestos dust and/or fibers one can safely inhale,
absorb or ingest without risk of disease or illness), state:
(a) When and by what means you obtained information related thereto;
(b) The substance of any information imparted to you regarding the same; and
(c) Whether and by what means you advised or warned anyone of details relating thereto.
RESPONSE NO. 56:
This defendant ceased the
manufacture, sale and distribution of asbestos-containing
products in 1958. It has not located information in its records
that would enable it to answer this interrogatory. However, it
appears that this defendant was aware of the TLV for asbestos
dust and other dusts as published by the American Conference of
Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) in the mid- to late-
1940s or 1950s.
During the 1940s and after, it appears that an employee
of this defendant subscribed to and received the Journal of
Industrial Hygiene and Toxicology which contained, in 1946, an
article entitled "A Health Survey of Pipe Covering Operations in
Constructing Naval Vessels," by Fleischer, Drinker and others
which discusses safe levels of asbestos. Also, this defendant
was a member of the Industrial Hygiene Foundation in 1946. The
transactions of the Eleventh Annual Meeting, Industrial Hygiene
Foundation, dated November 7, 1946 contain, beginning at page 71,
-48-
an explanation by J. J. Bloomfield of then-existing threshold limit values including the TLV for asbestos, it also appears that an employee of this defendant subscribed to and received the
*
journal, Industrial Hygiene and Occupational Medicine, which
\
contained in 1951, an abstract of an article entitled "A Contribution to the Study of Asbestosis" by P. Cartier, which refers to the TLV for asbestos.
Further, in May, 1979, various papers and reports were produced by an employee of the Trudeau Institute, Mr. Allan Logie, regarding animal experiments conducted at laboratories at Saranac Lake, New York purportedly involving dust collected during the manufacture of Kaylo. These papers and reports may contain information related to the substance of this interrogatory. This defendant has not been able to find those papers and reports in its business records or correspondence although it has searched for and continues to search for them. Among those papers and reports is a paper dated May 29, 1951 which refers to the TLV for asbestos dust.
Additionally, Owens-Corning Fiberglas Corporation produced, in various cases in 1979, papers purporting to relate to this defendant's asbestos-containing product business. One such paper is a copy of a letter to Dr. Miriam Sachs, Chief, Bureau on Adult and Industrial Health, State of New Jersey Department of Health, Trenton, New Jersey regarding State standards. Neither the documents produced by Owens-Corning Fiberglas Corporation nor those produced by Mr. Logie have been located in this defendant's records.

(a) The source of such knowledge;
(b) The persons who obtained such knowledge;
(c) All documents relating thereto; and
(d) The custodian and location of all documents . identified in your Answer to Part (c) of this Interrogatory.
RESPONSE NO. 58:
This defendant ceased the
manufacture, sale and distribution of asbestos-containing
products in 1958. This defendant has not found information in
its records sufficient to enable it to answer this interrogatory.
INTERROGATORY NO. 59:
State whether you were ever
made aware that the proper method for determining safe levels of
asbestos dust was to test concentrations of asbestos fibers in
the air rather than the total number of asbestos particles in the
air. If so, state:
-50-
(a) The source of such knowledge;
(b) The persons who obtained such knowledge;
(c) All documents relating thereto; and
(d) The custodian and location of all documents identified in your Answer to Part (c) of this Interrogatory.
RESPONSE NO. 59:
This defendant ceased the
manufacture, sale and distribution of asbestos-containing
products in 1958. The threshold limit value ("TLV") for asbestos
during the period in which this defendant manufactured asbestos-
containing products, and for some time thereafter, was based upon
a time weighted average under a count of asbestos only, including
asbestos particles and asbestos fibers. This interpretation is
described at various times in the literature. In that regard,
see, for example, the Fleischer-Drinker report of 1946, which
breaks out the asbestos component of total dust for analysis.
Also, see a 1953 article by Isselbacher, Klaus, and Hardy,
"Asbestosis and Bronchogenic Carcinoma'', American Journal of
Medicine, p. 721 (Nov. 1953), in which the authors note that
"experience has led to the acceptance of five million particles
of asbestos per cubic foot of air, of small enough size to be
respirable, to be the safe working concentration for asbestos."
Also, please see a report of the committee of the American
College of Chest Physicians in 1964, "Asbestosis - Report of the
Section on Nature and Prevalence Committee on Occupational
Diseases of the Chest", 45 Disease of the Chest, p. 107 (1964),
in which it noted that several governmental agencies recommended
five million asbestos particles of any length per cubic foot of
-51-
air as a safe value for asbestos exposure while other hygienists
in 1964 were considering 10 million particles of total dust to be
a safe limit. This confirms that the five million standard was
then interpreted to be a standard applicable to'asbestos dust and
not the total dust. Other articles which this defendant would
call to your attention are the Fleischer-Drinker article as noted
previously, the Dreessen article as noted previously, and the
article by J. J. Bloomfield as noted previously. Further, this
defendant would call to your attention the annually published
threshold limit values of the American Conference of Governmental
Industrial Hygienists. Defendant would also call to your
attention an article by E. L. Schall, "Present Threshold Limit
Value in the U.S.A. for Asbestos Dust: "A Critique", 132 Annals
New York Academy of Sciences, p. 316 (1965) ; and articles by
Balzer and Cooper beginning in 1968 entitled, "The Work
Environment of Insulating Workers", Vol. 29, American Industrial
Hygiene Assoc. Journal, p. 22 (May-June 1958) in which compliance
with threshold limit values in shipyards is discussed. There it
is indicated that even on a topal dust standard, compliance with
the TLV was being observed by the authors.
INTERROGATORY NO. 60:
State in detail what tests or
studies, if any, you ever conducted or directed with regard to
the quantity, quality, or threshold limit values as defined in
Interrogatory No. 56 of asbestos dust, fibers or particles to
which insulators and others who use your asbestos products and/or
others working in the same vicinity are exposed.
RESPONSE NO. 60:
This defendant ceased the
manufacture, sale and distribution of asbestos-containing
products in 1958. This defendant has not found information in
-52-
its records sufficient to enable it to answer this interrogatory.
However, information indicating that the level of exposure of
insulation workers was below recognized TLV's was readily
available in the medical literature after 1946.
INTERROGATORY NO. 61:
State in detail what research,
tests or studies, if any, you ever conducted or directed to
determine whether the exposure of insulation workers or others to
asbestos dust exceeded the American Conference of Governmental
Industrial Hygienists' (A.C.G.I.H.) recommended threshold limit
values.
RESPONSE NO. 61:
This defendant ceased the
manufacture, sale and distribution of asbestos-containing
products in 1958. This defendant has not found information in
its records sufficient to enable it to answer this interrogatory.
INTERROGATORY NO. 62:
State in detail what steps, if
any, you ever took to determine whether the American Conference
of Governmental Industrial Hygienists' (A.C.G.I.H.) recommended
threshold limit values for exposure to asbestos dust were
accurate or reliable.
RESPONSE NO. 62:
This defendant ceased the
manufacture, sale and distribution of asbestos-containing
products in 1958. This defendant has not found information in
its records sufficient to enable it to answer this interrogatory.
INTERROGATORY NO. 63:
State your knowledge relating
to the meaning of "dose response relationship" as it pertains to
exposure to asbestos dusts, fibers and/or products and the
contracting of disease, including: asbestosis, pneumoconiosis,
mesothelioma, lung cancer and other cancers.
RESPONSE NO. 63:
It is the defendant's understanding
of the term "dose response relationship" that the amount of a
substance one is exposed to is related to the possibility of
development of disease and related to the latency period. Dose
is related to intensity and duration of exposure. During the
-53-
time this defendant was involved in the asbestos-containing
product business, it was this defendant's understanding of the
state-of-the-medical art that there was a safe "dose" or level of
asbestos to which one could be exposed without risk of disease
and that workers such as plaintiff were not exposed to levels
above this safe level.
INTERROGATORY NO. 64:
State whether you have ever
placed any warranties, guarantees or other such representations
on any asbestos products identified in your Answer to
Interrogatory Nos. 8 and 19 and/or on or in the containers or
packages in which said products were sold, distributed or
otherwise placed in the stream of commerce.
RESPONSE NO. 64:
This defendant ceased the
manufacture, sale and distribution of asbestos-containing
products in 1958. This defendant has not found information in
its records sufficient to enable it to answer this interrogatory.

INTERROGATORY NO. 67:
State when and by what means
you became aware of the alleged hazards of exposure to asbestos
dusts, fibers and/or products to the health of persons coming
into contact with, handling or using asbestos products.
RESPONSE NO. 67:
Insofar as this interrogatory
pertains to asbestos-containing products other than Kaylo, this
defendant states that it ceased the manufacture, sale and
' distribution of asbestos-containing products in 1958 and does not
have any records from which it can obtain information sufficient
to answer this interrogatory, nor can it locate any present
employees with knowledge thereof.
Insofar as this interrogatory pertains to its own
asbestos-containing product, Kaylo, this defendant states that it
ceased the manufacture, sale and distribution of asbestos-
containing products in 1958 and does not have any records from
-55-
which it can obtain information sufficient to answer this interrogatory. During May, 1979, various papers and reports were produced by an employee of the Trudeau Institute, Mr. Allan Logie, regarding animal experiments conducted at laboratories at Saranac Lake involving dust collected during the Kaylo manufacturing process. These papers and reports may contain information relating to the substance of this interrogatory. The employee, Mr. Logie, had no personal knowledge about the course or conduct of any such experiments, the preparation of papers and reports he produced, or the retention or completeness of those papers and reports. Therefore, he could not authenticate these papers and reports. This defendant has not been able to find these papers and reports in its business records or correspondence although it has searched for and continues to search for them.
This defendant's counsel obtained copies of some of the papers and reports produced by Mr. Logie. However, these copies constitute only a portion of a larger volume of papers and reports which this defendant has not copied. They are available at Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy, One Chase Manhattan Plaza, New York, New York. This defendant also has reason to believe that plaintiffs' counsel has copies of the documents produced by Mr. Logie. Other documents possibly relating to this interrogatory may have been produced by Owens-Corning Fiberglas Corporation.
-56-
Those documents found at Saranac Lake and at OwensCorning Fiberglas Corporation and elsewhere, which this defendant cannot authenticate, indicate that during the period of time when Owens-Illinois was in the business of manufacturing asbestoscontaining products, those products contained a relatively small proportion of asbestos. The inhalation of asbestos dust in excessive amounts over a prolonged period of time (years), under certain conditions, could lead to the potential hazard where exposures were in excess of recognized safe limits, that plant workers were not exposed to levels above the recognized safe limits, that users were not exposed to dust levels above the recognized safe limits, that Kaylo plant employees were x-rayed periodically and displayed no asbestos-related chest disease, and that therefore during the period in which this defendant was in the business of manufacturing Kaylo it had no reason to believe that the foreseeable use of Kaylo would create a hazard to users.
The documents produced by Owens-Corning Fiberglas Corporation indicate that the September, 1955 publication in the A.M.A. Archives of Industrial Health was a publication of inhalation experiments.
To the extent that this interrogatory seeks the production of documents, such documents, as outlined in this response, have not been found as part of this defendant's records and, to the extent that this defendant is in possession of copies of documents, it possesses copies only of documents collected in preparation for litigation. This defendant objects to producing the same. The documents are available from their proper source.

INTERROGATORY NO. 68:
State when and by what means
you became aware that exposure to asbestos dusts, fibers and/or
products was acknowledged to be hazardous to the health of

Refer to response to interrogatory
INTERROGATORY NO. 69:
State whether you ever learned
that there is a causal connection between exposure to asbestos
dust and:
(a) Asbestosis;
(b) Pneumoconiosis; (c) Lung Cancer;
(d) Mesothelioma; and
(e) Other cancers.
RESPONSE NO. 69:
(a-b)
During the period of time
in which this defendant engaged in the manufacture, sale and
distribution of its asbestos-containing products, it was this
defendant's understanding that the inhalation of asbestos dust in
excessive amounts over a prolonged period of time (years), under
certain conditions, could lead to the potential hazard of,
contracting a disease known as asbestosis. However, in 1958 and
before and for some years thereafter, the state of the medical
and scientific knowledge was to the effect that there was a safe
level of asbestos to which a person could be exposed without risk
of injury and to the effect that persons such as plaintiffs were
not exposed to excessive amounts of asbestos.
(c-e)
This defendant objects to this interrogatory
on the basis that the term causal connection is vague, ambiguous
and unintelligible. Defendant also objects on the basis that its
-58-
present knowledge is irrelevant to this action in that evidence
of a causal connection between mesothelioma or any form of cancer
and asbestos was first accepted by medical science after the
period of time defendant ceased the manufacture of asbestos-
containing products. Without waiving its objections, defendant
is informed and believes that at no time prior to 1958 was there
reason to believe that the medical and scientific community
accepted that there was a causal connection established between
exposure to asbestos and a risk of contracting mesothelioma or
any form of cancer.
INTERROGATORY NO. 70:
If your Answer to
Interrogatory No. 69 is in the affirmative, identify the
following as to each such disease listed therein:
(a) When and by what means you first became aware of such causal connection;
(b) If your awareness of such causal connection was obtained at any conference, lecture, convention, symposium, or other such meeting, identify the event, the person who attended on your behalf and/or any documents obtained from such event; and

During May, 1979, various papers and reports were
produced by an employee of the Trudeau Institute, Mr. Allan
Logie, regarding animal experiments conducted at laboratories at
Saranac Lake involving dust collected during the Kaylo
manufacturing process. These papers and reports may contain
information relating to the substance of this interrogatory. The
employee, Mr. Logie, had no personal knowledge about the course
or conduct of any such experiments, the preparation of papers and
reports he produced or the retention or completeness of those
papers and reports. Therefore, he could not authenticate these
papers and reports. This defendant has not been able to find
these papers and reports in its business records or
correspondence although it has searched for and continues to
search for them.
This defendant's counsel obtained copies of some of the
papers and reports produced by Mr. Logie. However, these copies
constitute only a portion of a larger volume of papers and
reports which this defendant has not copied. They are available
at Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy, One Chase Manhattan Plaza,
New York, New York. This defendant also has reason to believe
that plaintiffs' counsel has copies of the documents produced by
Mr. Logie. Other documents possibly relating to this
interrogatory may have been produced by Owens-Corning Fiberglas
Corporation.

`defendant made ^apprcyriate'efforts to' provide venti let ion end to
control the emissions of all dust emitted during the
manufacturing process within recognized save levels of exposure,
including the use of respirators in some instances dust
collection equipment and other devices as necessary. Therefore,
during the period in which this defendant was in the business of
manufacturing Kaylo it had no reason< to believe that the
foreseeable use of Kaylo would create a hazard to users.

RESPONSE NO. 47:
During the period of time pertinent
to these actions, this defendant did not maintain an entity which
would be characterized as an industrial hygiene, medicine, safety
and/or engineering library. However, this defendant believes
that a separate engineering library may have been maintained by
its technical facility. This defendant also states that although
it has no records indicating the existence of such a library,
upon becoming involved in asbestos-related litigation this
defendant listed all the publications which were in its then-
existing industrial hygiene library. These publications are
listed on Exhibit II. This defendant has not yet determined
which, if any, of these publications were in this defendant's
possession during the time it manufactured, sold and distributed
asbestos-containing products.
INTERROGATORY NO. 48:
State whether any of the co
defendants in asbestos litigation have ever furnished you with
any information as to the state of the medical knowledge at any
time regarding the relationship between exposure to asbestos
dusts, fibers and/or products and the contracting of diseases,
including asbestosis, pneumoconiosis, mesothelioma, lung cancer
and other cancers.
RESPONSE NO. 48:
This defendant objects to this
interrogatory as being irrelevant and not reasonably calculated
to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence and not limited

A NEW HEAT INSULATION WITH REMARKABLE COMBINATION OF ADVANTAGES . . . .
A
Kaylo Heat Insulating Block
a new type of lightweight mineral sulation that is efficient enough to used at ordinary room temperate and resistant enough to perform en lively up to 12003 F.
Few new products of any kind h been so thoroughly researched bet" being placed on the market. Ka Heat Insulating Block is the achie ment of many years' work by Oae Illinois Glass Company enginet physicists and chemists.
No other material, new or old. effectively combines the most de* able characteristics of the ideal h insulation.
For instance . . .
LOW DENSITY
Kaylo Heat Insulating Blc weighs only 11 pounds per cubic fc This light weight (less than one poc to the board foot) simplifies handii shipping and application. I: g.-er reduces weight --an important ad' tage on ships, for an example.

ing Block because they are so easv
cut and yet they have a
tiveiy h:
flexural strength. The w > above
hoppers are also insulated with K r
Heat Insulating Block.
OVV THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY
Tne coefficient of conductivity, or K", of Kavlo Heat Insulating Block, s r~own on the chart on page four,
it among the most efficient in itiations for medium high temperaares. Its insulation value comes prinipally from its tine, interlaced cellular tructure. These cells are so tiny and o numerous that they present a maeriai surface of approximately 140 ores per cubic foot of insulation.
Experience shows that the insulaion value of Kaylo insulation im proves when the material is put into ervice.
EFFECTIVE OVER WIDE TEMPERATURE RANGE
Kaylo Heat Insulating Block perorms efficiently not only on temperaures in the low pressure steam and hot water range but on temperatures in he superheated steam range as well. This is shown by the flatness of the conductivity curve. One-material cov erage with Kaylo insulation handles applications which often require two thicknesses of different materials.
HIGH COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH
's compressive strength is unust .y high for a mineral product of such light weight. Kaylo Heat Insu
lating Block withstands compression values equivalent to those of a man's walking on it or even to those of a heel's being ground into it.
HIGH FLEXURAL STRENGTH
Its flexural strength is higher than the normal requirement for heat insu lation of this type. This strength makes for easy handling and applica tion, and contributes to long service with low maintenance.
NO ADDED BINDER
Kaylo insulation is. an inorganic compound, containing no added binder. Its performance characteris tics, therefore, are not affected by additives, which often reduce insulat ing value, modify effective tempera ture range or otherwise limit per formance.
EASY TO APPLY WELL
Kaylo Heat Insulating Blocks are clean-cut and trim. They are easy to fit into place to make a good-looking installation. Their "feel" is pleasant and non-irritating. They can be cut. scored and sawed with ordinary wood working tools. Finishes that go over the block, whether cement, cloth or other types, can be applied smoothly and with a minimum of effort. No special tools are needed.
LOW MOISTURE ABSORPTION
Moisture absorption is no prob lem with Kaylo insulation. Even when subjected to an atmosphere of 90 Te relative humidity and a temperature of 120: F., in standard tests, spea-
mers absorb less than 1 <7c moisture
by volume.
RETAINS EFFECTIVENESS AFTER LONG SERVICE
Kaylo Heat Insulating Block re mains strong, free from excessive powdering, and shows little loss in weight or shrinkage after long appli cation to temperatures up to 1200: F. Even conventional tumbling tests, run after prolonged heating, produce relatively little crumbling or break down of the material.

On large or small equipment, in side or out. Kaylo Heat Insulating Block performs efficiently and with a minimum of maintenance. Here it is be;-c' applied to the walls of a large p itator. Workmen are laying block over 6" x 6" wire mesh welded to the stiffeners. The block are then covered with finishing cement and asphalt mastic w eatherproofing.
Kaylo Heat Insulating Block cov ers both flat and curved surfaces on the power house equipment pictured here. At the right are fresh air intakes; the center compartments house in duced draft fans; and at the left are conduits leading to a precipitator. Kavlo insulation means continuous fuel savings ro this power plant.
Hot water is always ready when needed in the office building where this hot water storage tank is installed, thanks to Kaylo Heat Insulating Block. This permanent insulation holds w ater temperature constant with a minimum of power consumption.
Other applications for Kaylo Heat Insulat ing block are listed on rhe back page.

near-white,
mineral insulating
1 material weighing approximately 20 pounds per cubic foot. It is composed
principally of calcium silicate. Except for density and for those characteris
tics that are changed by density it is similar to KaylO Heat Insulating Block.
a lightweight insulation used to insulate against heat loss from hot surfaces.
Kaylo Structural Insulating Block (20-lb. density) is designed to develop
maximum strength and fire resistance without sacrificing its advantages of
light weight and low thermal conductivity. In fact the practical combination
of these four properties--strength, weight, insulating value and fire resist
ance--makes it almost unique as a building material.
It weighs nominally 20 pounds to the cubic foot (actually on an oven dry basis from 19.5 to 22 lb.), has a compressive strength of approximately 5"" lb. per sq. in., a "k" of 0.66 at 100 mean and outstanding resistance to the travel of heat and flame at building fire temperatures.
` XX
X,
STRUCTU
Kaylo Structural Insulating Block is not a finished build ing material in itself and is not made for exposure to the weather. Its principal uses are as a structural roof tile, or roof deck unit, in which a steel reinforcing mat is inserted at the time of forming, and as a core material. In this latter use it serves as the core of laminated structures where the faces or laminates are applied with adhesives, and also as the core of structural shells or envelopes where the Kaylo core material is simply inserted in the open spaces and held by its own contact or by such conven tional methods as clips or other attachments.
In any of these applications it adds rigidity to the structure and vastly increases insulation value and fire resistance.
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
light Weight--Nominal 20-lb. density Kaylo Block is about
a third lighter than yellow pine. On an oven-dry basis it
weighs from 19.5 to 22 pounds per cubic foot.
'
High Strength--Its compressive strength is approximately 500 lb. per sq. in. with a deformation of 5 per cent. Flexural strength is approximately 175 lb. per sq. in.
Fireproof--Kaylo 20-lb. density Structural Insulating Block has been tested at the Underwriters' Laboratories in Chicago and given the following rating, based on com parison with untreated Red Oak as 100.
Flame spread........................ 0.0 Fuel contributed.................. negligible Smoke produced...................0.0
For use in fabrications that are to be Underwriters' Labor atones inspected, Kaylo Structural Insulating Block ; furnished bearing the Underwriters' label for fire bazar' classification for building material.

7S 100 125 ISO 173 2C Meon Temperature, F.
Good Insulation Value--At low mean temperatures Kayl Structural Insulating Block is one of the most emcier. structural mineral insulations. At high mean temperature it still compares favorably with heat insulating materia! of its own weight. High light Reflectivity--Where lfeft exposed and untreate (as with the underside of a roof deck) Kaylo Structure Insulating Block has high light reflectivity. Its light rt flection factor is from 70 to 80 per cent. Non-Abrasive Surface--Its surface is non-abrasive. It ha a somewhat "soapy" feel that makes it pleasant to handh At the same time it has a firm surface that assures goo contact with surfaces applied over it. No Added Binder--It contains no added binder, but ir stead constitutes its own binder. Hence its charactenstu are not modified as to temperature limit, solubility, mst lation value, fire resistance or otherwise by "bind* limitations."
l
L INSULATING BLOCK (20-LB. DENSITY)
ood Workability--Kaylo Structural Insulating Block is sponsive to wood working tools. It can be sawed with a and saw or power saw, can be routed, tongue-and-ooved, sanded, and, in fact, run through most woodorking equipment.
igh Modulus of Elasticity--The modulus of elasticity of >lb. density block is approximately 160,000 lb. per sq. in.
ow Specific Heat--The specific heat of Kaylo Structural nsulating Block is approximately 0.22.
Cellular Structure--Kaylo Structural Insulating Block is bout 80 per cent inter-communicating air cells. The cells re extremely small, less than a micron in diameter.
ow Moisture Absorption--Kaylo Structural Block is hyroscopic. It will absorb moisture from humid air and will each equilibrium at lower moisture contents when exposed o lower humidities. However, because of its extremely mall pore size and other characteristics, its behavior with espect to moisture differs from that of most porous macr It has unusual capacity to distribute moisture viti. .. its mass, and to give it off to surrounding air of ower moisture content.
its moisture absorption when surrounded by humid air s low. Test specimens dried for 24 hours at 215 F., cooled ind then exposed on all surfaces to an atmosphere of 90 er cent relative humidity and a temperature of 120 F. r six hours, absorbed less than one per cent of moisture
volume.
onsistent with the common practice for good construcon involving porous insulating materials of high interna! ;rface area, Kaylo Structural Insulating Block should
sealed against moisture on the warm side when it is injected to extremely low temperatures.
High Wet Strength--Kaylo Structural Insulating Block, like most other insulating materials, is not intended to serve immersed in water or exposed to extremely damp or humid conditions, yet its flexural strength when wet (im mersed 10 hoursj is reduced only about 15 per cent.
Dimensionally Stable--The dimensions of Kaylo Struct ural Insulating Block change little with changes in moist ure content. Experience has shown from the manufacture of thousands of units of laminated structures that they have unusual dimensional stability and unusual freedom from warping.
Available with and without Reinforcing--In the form of roof tile Kaylo Structural Insulation is available with a steel reinforcing mat. In the form of core material for var ious types of structure it is available without reinforcing.
Accepts Nails and Screws--Both nails and screws can be used with Kaylo Structural Block. Tables showing holding power of both are available on request. N'ails should be of the cement-coated type without barbs that abrade the sides of the opening they make as they are driven into the block. Galvanized or non-ferrous nails may be used where greater resistance to corrosion is required. Screws may be inserted either with or without drilling a pilot hole.
Sizes--Kaylo Structural Insulating Block is made in a standard size of 18 x 36 inches.
Since most uses involve manufacturing operations, thick nesses that are practical can best be worked out with the manufacturer of Kaylo Insulating Products after approxi mate quantities needed are known. These will usually be between one and two inches thick.
Certain thicknesses are suggested by certain building re quirements. A thickness of from l3* to 2 inches of Kayio Structural Insulating Block is requited to withstand a typical building fire for one hour--usually somewhat more for a partition than for a door because of the greater per formance required of a partition.
20-Lb. and 11-Lb. Density Block Can Be Used in Combination.
Where two thicknesses of ir- lation are used to build up an insulating structure it i ssible to use the two den sities in combination to devc.^p the best insulation value strength and fire resistance.

Kaylo Structural Insulating Block--is a near-white, rigid mineral insulating material weighing approximately 20 pounds per cubic foot. It is composed principally of calcium silicate. Except for density and for those characteris tics that are changed by density it is similar to Kaylo Heat Insulating Block, a lightweight insulation used to insulate against heat loss from hot surfaces. Kaylo Structural Insulating Block (20-lb. density) is designed to develop maximum strength and fire resistance without sacrificing its advantages of light weight and low thermal conductivity. In fact the practical combination of these four properties--strength, weight, insulating value and fire resist ance--makes it almost unique as a building material.
It weighs nominally 20 pounds to the cubic foot (actually on an oven drv basis from 19.5 to 22 lb.), has a compressive strength of approximately 50o lb. per sq. in., a `'k" of 0.66 at 100 mean and outstanding resistance to the travel of heat and flame at building fire temperatures.
20-LB.
density
For use in fabrications that are to be Underwriters' Labor atories inspected, Kaylo Structural Insulating Block is
furnished bearing the Underwriters' label for fire hazard classification for building material.
Kaylo Structural Insulating Block is not a finished build ing material in itself and is not made for exposure to the weather. Its principal uses are as a structural roof tile, or roof deck unit, in which a steel reinforcing mat is inserted at the time of forming, and as a core material. In this latter use it serves as the core of laminated structures where the faces or laminates are applied with adhesives, and also as the core of structural shells or envelopes where the Kaylo core material is simply inserted in the open spaces and held by its own contact or by such conven tional methods as clips or other attachments.
In any of these applications it adds rigidity to the structure and vastly increases insulation value and fire resistance.

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
1
Light Weight--Nominal 20-lb. density Kaylo Block is about a third lighter than yellow pine. On an oven-dry basis it weighs from 19.5 to 22 pounds per cubic foot.
High Strength--Its compressive strength is approximately 500 lb. per sq. in. with a deformation of 5 per cent. Flexural strength is approximately 175 lb. per sq. in.
Fireproof--Kaylo 20-lb. density Structural Insulating Block has been tested at the Underwriters' Laboratories in Chicago and given the following rating, based on com parison with untreated Red Oak as 100.
Flame spread........................0.0 Fuel contributed.................. negligible Smoke produced...................0.0
Good Insulation Value--At low mean temperatures Kaylo Structural Insulating Block is one of the most efficient structural mineral insulations. At high mean temperatures it still compares favorably with heat insulating materials of its own weight.
High Light Reflectivity--Where left exposed and untreated ias with the underside of a roof deck) Kaylo Structural Insulating Block has high light reflectivity. Its light re flection factor is from 70 to 80 per cent.
Non-Abrasive Surface--Its surface is non-abrasive. It has a somewhat "soapy" feel that makes it pleasant to handle. At the same time it has a firm surface that assures good contact with surfaces applied over it.
No Added Binder--It contains no added binder, but in stead constitutes its own binder. Hence its characteristics are not modified as to temperature limit, solubility, insu lation value, fire resistance or otherwise by "binder limitations."
STRUCTURAL INSULATING BLOCK
Good Workability--Kavlo Structural Insulating Block is responsive to wood working tools. It can be sawed with a hand saw or power saw, can be routed, tongue-andgrooved, sanded, and, in fact, run through most wood working equipment.
High Modulus of Elasticity--The modulus of elasticity of 20-lb. density block is approximately 160,000 lb. per sq. in.
Low Specific Heat--The specific heat of Kaylo Struc tural Insulating Block is approximately 0.22.
Cellular Structure--Kaylo Structural Insulating Block is about 80 per cent inter-communicating air cells. The cells are extremely small, less than a micron in diameter.
Low Moisture Absorption--Kaylo Structural Block is hygroscopic. It will absorb moisture from humid air and will reach equilibrium at lower moisture contents when ____ exposed to lower humidities. However, because of its extremely small pore size and other characteristics, its behavior with respect to moisture differs from that of i .most porous materials. It has unusual capacity to dis tribute moisture within its mass, and to give it off to surrounding air of lower moisture content.
Its moisture absorption when surrounded by humid air is low. Test specimens dried for 24 hours at 215 F., cooled and then exposed on all surfaces to an atmos phere of 90 per cent relative humidity and a tempera ture of 120 F. for six hours, absorbed less than one per cent of moisture by volume.
Consistent with the common practice for good construc tion involving porous insulating materials of high internal surface area, Kaylo Structural Insulating Block should be sealed against moisture on the warm side when it is subjected to extremely low temperatures.
High Wet Strength--Kaylo Structural Insulating Block, like most other insulating materials, is not intended to serve immersed in water or exposed to extremely damp or humid conditions, yet its flexural strength when wet (immersed 10 hours) is reduced only about 15 per cent.
Dimensionally Stable--The dimensions of Kaylo Struct ural Insulating Block change little with changes in moist ure content. Experience has shown from the manufacture of thousands of units of laminated structures that they have unusual dimensional stability and unusual freedom from warping.
Available with and without Reinforcing--In the form of roof tile Kaylo Structural Insulation is available with a steel reinforcing mat. In the form of core material for var ious types of structure it is available without reinforcing.
Accepts Nails and Screws--Both nails and screws can be used with Kaylo Structural Block. Tables showing holding power of both are available on request. Nails should be of the cement-coated type without barbs that abrade the sides of the opening they make as they are driven into the block. Galvanized or non-ferrous nails may be used where greater resistance to corrosion is required" Screws mav be inserted either with or without drilling a pilot hole. '
Sizes--Kaylo Structural Insulating Block is made in a standard size of 18 x 36 inches.
Since most uses involve manufacturing operations, thick nesses that are practical can best be worked out with the manufacturer of Kaylo Insulating Products after approxi mate quantities needed are known. These will usually be between one and two inches thick.
Certain thicknesses are suggested by certain building re quirements. A thickness of from l3j to 2 inches of Kaylo Structural Insulating Block is required to withstand a typical building fire for one hour--usually somewhat more for a partition than for a door because of the greater per formance required of a partition.
20-Lb. and 11-Lb. Denfity Block Can Be Used in Combination.
Where two thicknesses of insulation are used to build up an insulating structure it is possible to use the two den sities in combination to develop the best insulation value strength and fire resistance.

LAMINATION
.amination over a Kaylo Insulating Core--Almost any face material may be bonded to Kaylo Structural Insul ating Block surfaces. Bonding agents can be selected to meet the requirements of the particular facing--also to satisfy the service-requirements of the finished product --and still offer some choice in curing procedures.
borne adhesives and primers which may be used with various types of face materials are listed below. ; This, list is not intended to be complete. Its only purpose is to identify a partial list of adhesives. An adhesive noi
listed does not imply that it is not suitable. These ha\ ( been found to provide a tensile strength of 35 lb. per square inch and a minimum shear strength of 100 lb. per square inch when cured according to the manufac turer's recommendation. They are not listed in the order of their adhesive strength.)

Here is a really unique door. The Kaylo Firedoor is the only type of wood-faced door that carries a one-hour fire rating from Underwriters'' Laboratories, Inc.official testing agency for the National Board of Fire Underwriters.
Many other important advantages are combined in the Kaylo Firedoor:
r'
Great Dimensional Stability--A Kaylo
j Firedoor does not warp, swell or shrink--even
Ji
."lI
when subjected to extremes of heat or cold, dampness or dryness.
High Insulation Value--Installed in an ex
terior opening with weather stripping, the Kaylo
y Firedoor insulates more effectively than a con ventional door, plus a storm door.
: Light Weight plus Strength--A standard 3'4" x - 7' Kaylo Firedoor weighs only 90 lbs., but can support T an 8,000-lb. distributed load with only one-half inch
deflection while loaded. After unloading, the door \ returns to its original position.
Handsome Appearance--The wood veneer-faced Kaylo Firedoor equals the richness of the most strik ing conventional wood doors. It offers rated fire pro tection, without sacrifice in beauty.
THE INORGANIC KAYLO CORE
Heart of the Kaylo Firedoor is its core--a chemical composition which is completely inorganic. It does not burn. It is rot-proof and vermin-proof, per manently resistant to termites, cannot be damaged by water. The Kaylo core material has a nominal density of 20 lbs. per cubic foot.and is sufficiently
sturdy to insure proper performance of the Kaylo Firedoor under most severe conditions.
Kaylo Firedoors offer a great combination of advantages for hospitals, schools, apartment houses, hotels, office buildings--and residences.
This label on doors which you specify or install means rated fire protection, safety K and reduced insurance rates for building owners. It appears on every Kaylo-core door, k

WITH CEMEE-ST-ASBESTOS FACING
Introduction of the calcium-silicate insulating material, sold in various forms under the brand name "Kcylo," has opened up an entirely new field of laminated building prod ucts. This inorganic materiel is used as a core in panels faced with wood veneer, plastics, metal and (as described in this booklet) cement-asbestos board. For each laminated product, it provides a core which is incombustible, lightweight and strong end offers insulating value and exceptional di mensional stability. Kcylo cores are being used in a number of laminated products, now on the market, in which fire resistance is a prime consideration. These include firedoors, wall panels and marine bulkheads.
Kaylo Laminated Panels with cement-asbestos fac ing provide complete curtainwall or non-loadbearing partition sections which require no finishing on either side--no painting, furring, plastering, siding or insulation. While r.ot required, paint may be applied to these panels by conventional means, if it is desired.
Although only two inches thick, Kaylo Laminated Panels with cement-asbestos facing have better insula tion value than 16 inches of solid concrete. Completely inorganic, they Lave unusual dimensional stability. They have remarkable resistance to deterioration from water or exposure to the elements and show virtually no expan sion or contraction, even in extreme weather cycles.
QUICK INSTALLATION
Lack standard 4' x S' Kaylo panel provides a complete wall section, 32 square feet in area, which weighs only
about 200 pounds. Each panel is easily erected complete
in place in a few minutes. Compare this speed and sim
plicity of erection with the time and work required in
the building of conventional masonry walls of various types. For example, an eight-inch brick wail of equal
area requires mixing of mortar and laying individually
416 common bricks, resulting in a wall which weighs about 2700 pounds.
Panels may be joined to steel or wood framing by any
of a wide variety of methods. Only standard tools used
in the building trade are needed for erection work.
^
INCOMBUSTIBLE
Both the Kaylo core and cement-asbestos facing of these Kaylo Laminated Panels are incombustible. Installed with proper joint systems, the panels provide a wall that will withstand more than one hour's exposure to fire when tested by standard ASTM procedures.
MANY APPLICATIONS
Possible applications for Kaylo Laminated Panels with cement-asbestos facing include interior partitions or exterior wails for nearly every type of building. A sug gested list follows:

Manufacturing buildings Warehouses Vtility buildings

THE KAYLD CORE
To appreciate the superiority of Kaylo Laminated Panels over ether products of similar appearance, it is neces sary to know something about the physical character istics of the Kaylo core.
Near white in appearance, the Kaylo core is a stable, inorganic calcium-silicate material having 4 density of about 20 pounds per cubic foot. This light weight-- lighter than all woods, except Northern White Cedar and Corkwood, contributes vitally to the utility and ease of handling, so characteristic of Kaylo Laminated Panels.
The large percentage of microscopic voids in its fine cellular structure gives the Kaylo core high resistance to the passage of heat, and, therefore, provides excellent insulation. Being inorganic it is rot and vermin proof. It is rated "Incombustible" by Underwriters' Labora tories and tests prove its superiority as a protection against the spread of fire-flame or smoke.
The physical characteristic possibly most important to a superior laminated panel is dimensional stability of the core. The dimensional stability of the Kaylo core is excellent. For a material so light in weight, it is excep tionally strong when subjected to flexural or compressive loads. Exposure to water produces only negligible change in dimensions and does not warp or swell the panel. Completely saturated, the Kaylo core retains at least 85% of its normal dry strength, which is completely recovered when material again becomes dry.
STANDARD PANELS
Playio Laminated Panels with cement-asbestos facing are nominally two inches thick. The Kaylo core is nomi nally Ilf " thick and each face veneer is H " thick. Cement-asbestos faces are laminated to the core with a waterproof adhesive. Panel edges are protected by a weatherproof coating. The standard panel size is 4 feet
x S feet. Other sizes are available on special order.

STRENGTH
A 4' x S' Kaylo Laminated Panel with cement-asbestos faces, supported on a 7'-9" span, using one-third point loading, carried-an ultimate load of 2920 pounds.
A panel restrained by three comers and the free fourth comer leaded three times with a weight of 113 lbs., pro duced a maximum deflection of about A ". When the weight was removed, the panel returned to its original
position. From the load-deflection curve, at the left, it is obvious that the panel supported on a 7'-9" span can withstand many times the required design windloads without exceeding its elastic limit.
IMPACT RESISTANCE
In an impact load test conducted according to Bureau of Standards procedures a 60 lb. weight was dropped on the center of a panel supported on a 7'-6" span. The height of the drop was increased by 6" increments, be ginning at 6". The panel did not break until the drop had reached 6'-0". The instantaneous deflection on the drop of 5'-6" was only 1.07",
FIRE RESISTANCE
In a fire test conducted in accordance with standard A.S.T.M. test procedure on a 2" Kaylo Laminated Panel with cement-asbestos faces, the average temperature rise on the cool side did not exceed 250c F. until more than 60 minutes time had elapsed.

Building materials, to be considered good vapor barriers, are expected to have average vapor transmission rates
of less than 1-25 grains per hr. per sq. ft. per in. of mer cury pressure differential between the two faces. Kaylo panels average 1.22. With suitable paints on the cementasbestos faces, vapor transmission is reduced consider ably below this value. For example, an acceptable chlorinated rubber paint reduces vapor transmission of the Kaylo panel to practically nothing.
DELAMINATION
In order to produce delaminating effects, a panel was heated to 270 F. on one side only, then cooled. This was repeated for ten cycles while a temperature of 70 was maintained on the cool side. No distress and nc apparent delamir.ation resulted. In fact, this same panel was later used in the strength test mentioned previously.
Another panel heated to 175 F. on the hot side then cooled while a temperature of 70 F. was maintained on the cool side has gone through 120 cycles of heating and cooling without distress.

Kaylo Roof Tiles have a rare combination of strengtr. an<i light weight. Tiles are easy to handle, easy to carry. Moving loads of tiles across Kavlu Roof Decks in wheelbarrows or dollies is collision practice.
KAYLO Insulatinq
ROOF TILE
SETS A NEW STANDARD FOR LIGHTWEIGHT NON-COMBUSTIBLE ROOF CONSTRUCTION
Kaylo Insulating Roof Tile laid on light steel members now makes available for the first time a roof deck in which fire pro tection, structural strength and insulation are all provided in a single lightweight all-mineral unit.
LIGHTWEIGHT
STRUCTURAL UNIT
Kaylo Roof Tile is not merely a roof insulation. It is a rein forced structural unit designed for a total load of fifty pounds per square foot with an adequate safety factor. Its flexural strength is more than sufficient for typical roof deck require ments.
Kaylo Roof Tile decks weigh approximately six pounds per square foot, including supporting sub-purlins, or around five pounds to the square foot for the roof tile only.
Thus it is now possible to daeign a deck made with a non combustible tile so that the dead load above the main purlins, including an excellent built-up roofing, is about twelve pounds per square foot of roof area.
INSULATES AS IT COVERS
This lightweight roof deck combines structural strength and thermal insulation in one material. Since Kaylo Insulating Roof Tile provides insulation value equal to that of an inch and onehalf of standard insulating board, no additional insulation is needed for usual installations. A special operation of applying insulation over the structural deck is thus eliminated.
2 KSI-4B8* 10M--Copyright, 1948, American Structural Product} Company Printed in U.SA.
FIREPROOF
Kaylo Roof Tile provides a new standard of fire protection for lightweight construction. The tile themselves will withstand building fire temperatures as defined by the standard A. S. T. M. fire curve, for more than one hour without failing in load carrying capacity and without permitting a temperature rise on the cold side great enough to constitute failure. Fire originating above a Kaylo roof deck is prevented from producing dangerous temperatures within the building for a period of at least one hour.
Because of economy of steel in the supporting structure made possible by a Kaylo roof deck; because of its non-com bustibility; because of its insulation value; because of its liveload-carrying capacity in relation to the dead load of the deck; and because it can be erected rapidly; this new roof construction recommends itself to every architect and engineer who has a major roof construction problem today.
FIELD TESTED
Kavlo Insulating Roof Tile has been introduced to the public after several years of experimental development and pilot plant manufacture by the Owens-Illinois Glass Company. ,In this development an area of several hundred thousand square feet has been incorporated in the construction of Owens-Illinois and American Structural Products buildings, and others, including plants, laboratories, offices and warehouses. Much of it has been in service for several years. " 'Vf. ' ' ^

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Kaylo Insulating Roof Tile is made in one size only, nominally 2S r 18x^36 inches. It is white, or whitish in appearance and is made entirely of a non-combustible mineral base which is pre dominately a calcium silicate, or combination of calcium silicates, into which mineral fibers have been incorporated for reinforcing
at the time of manufacture. This fiber-reinforced mass is ad ditionally strengthened by a welded wire mesh placed in the tile at the time it is formed.
The unique cellular structure of Kaylo Insulating Roof Tile makes possible its remarkable combination of desirable char acteristics. Kaylo Insulating Roof Tile has ceils so small they are measured in fractions of a micron, and so tremendous in number that more than 80rr of the tile is composed of air ceils which together have a total wall area of more than one hundred acres per cubic foot of tile!
Tile units have a smooth under-surface with a light reflection factor of approximately 80 per cent.
SAVES ERECTION COSTS
Kaylo insulating roof decks are easier to install than conven tional decks--yet they require no revolutionary new methods. Workmen like Kaylo Roof Tile.
When American Structural Products sub-purlins are used, a Kaylo Roof Tile deck is applied in only three steps--laying tile into place, grouting end joints and covering the deck with roofing materials. Kaylo Roof Tile can also be used with other types of framing.
No added application of roof insulation is necessary except where special conditions require an unusually high degree of insulation. In such cases light density Kaylo insulation in block form can be mopped in over the Kaylo insulating deck. A twoinch thickness, for example, mopped in over a standard Kaylo insulating deck will provide a U value, or over-all transmission, of approximately 0.10 Btu per hour per square foot per degree difference between inside and outside temperatures.
Kaylo Insulating Roof Tile can be fitted to odd-sized spaces at the job-site without special tools. Any saw which will cut the wires, such as a light power saw, is suitable. Kaylo Roof Tile can be readily chipped or gouged to fit irregular surfaces.
Because of its light weight and convenient size, Kaylo Roof Tile is easy to carry to the place where'it is to be laid. It has been designed as a simple, one-man tile and weighs only ap proximately 23 pounds per tile (having an area of four and one-half square feet).

SETS A NEW STANDARD FOR LIGHTWEIGHT NON-COMBUSTIBLE ROOF CONSTRUCTION
Xavlo Insulating Hoof Tile laid on light steel members now makes available for the first time a roof deck in which fire pro tection. structural strength and insulation are all provided in a single lightweight all-mineral unit.
LIGHTWEIGHT
' .. STRUCTURAL UK IT
Kayio Hoof Tile is not merely a roof insulation. It is a rein
forced structural unit designed for a total load of fifty pounds
per so.uare foot with an adequate safety factor. Its flexural
strength is more than sufficient for typical Toof deck require
ments.
'
Kayio Hoof Tile decks weigh approximately six pounds per squire foot, including supporting sub-purlins, or around five nour.es to the square foot for the roof tile only.
Thus it is new possible to design a deck made with a non ce-.': ustibie tile so that the dead load above the main purlins, m.c.ud.r.g an excellent built-up roofing, is about twelve pounds ter scuare foot of roof area.
INSULATES AS IT COVERS
This lightweight roof deck combines structural strength and thermal insulation in one material. Since Kayio Insulating R.ocf Tile provides insulation value equal to that of ar, inch ar.d cr.ehalf of standard insulating board, no additional insulation is needed for usual installations. A speciai operation of upswing Insulation over the structural deck is thus eliminated.

FIREPROOF
Kaylo Roof Tiie provides a new standard of f.re protection for lightweight construction. The tile themselves will withstand building f.re temperatures as defined by the standard A. S. T. M. fire curve, for more than one hour without failing in load carrying capacity and without permitting a temperature rise on the cold side great enough to constitute failure. Fire originating above a Kaylo roof deck is prevented from producing dangerous temperatures within the building for a period of at least one hour.
Because of economy of steel in the supporting structure made possible by a Kaylo roof deck; because of its non-com bustibility; because of its insulation value; because of its liveload-carrying capacity in relation to the dead load of the deck; and because it can be erected rapidly; this new roof construction recommends itself to every architect and engineer who has a major roof construction problem today.
FIELD TESTED
Kaylo Insulating Hoof Tile has been introduced to the public after several years of experimental development and pilot"pTant
manufacture by the Owens-Illinois Glass Company.' In this
development an area of several hundred thousand square feet
has been incorporated in the construction of Owens-Illinois and
American Structural Products buildings, and others, including
plants, laboratories, offices and warehouses. Much of it has
been in service for several years.
'
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Kaylo Insulating P.oof Tile is made in one size only, nominally gj; xISx36 inches. It is white, or whitish in appearance and
--.ace entirely of a non-combustible mineral base which is pre_ ;m;nately a calcium silicate, or combination of calcium silicates, ..v.o which mineral fibers have been incorporated for reinforcing
at the time of manufacture. This fiber-reinforced mass is ad ditionally strengthened by a welded wire mesh placed in the tile at the time it is formed.
The unique cellular structure of Kaylo Insulating Roof Tiie makes possible its remarkable combination of desirable char acteristics. Kaylo Insulating Roof Tile has ceils so small they are measured in fractions of a micron, and so tremendous in number that more than S09c of the tile is composed of air cells which together have a total wall area of more than one hundred acres per cubic foot of tile!
Tile units have a smooth under-surface with a light reflection factor of approximately 80 per cent.
SAYES ERECTION COSTS
Kaylo insulating roof decks are easier to install than conven
tional decks--yet they require no revolutionary new methods. Workmen like Kaylo Roof Tile.
When American Structural Products sub-purlins are used, a Kaylo Roof Tile deck is applied in only three steps--laving tile
into place, grouting end joints and covering the deck with
roofing materials. Kaylo P.oof Tile can also be used with other
types of framing.
'
No added application of roof insulation is necessary' except
where special conditions require an unusually high degree of
insulation. In such cases light density Kaylo insulation in block
form can be mopped in over the Kaylo insulating deck. A two-
inch thickness, for example, mopped in over a standard Kayio
insulating deck will provide a U value, or over-all transmission,
of approximately 0.10 Btu per hour per square foot per degree
difference between inside and outside temperatures.
Kaylo Insulating Roof Tile can be fitted to odd-sized spaces
at the job-site without special tools. Any saw which will cut
the wires, such as a light power saw, is suitable. Kaylo Roof
Tile can be readily chipped or gouged to fit irregular surfaces.
Because of its light weight and convenient size, Kaylo Roof
Tile is easy to car;y to the place where it is to be laid. I: has
been designed as a simple, one-man tiie ar.d weighs only ap
proximately 23 pounds per tile (having an area of four and
ore-naif square feet).

To the extent that this
Interrogatory seeks information for any state other than
Maryland, this Defendant objects to this Interrogatory on the
basis that it is overbroad and it seeks information which is not
relevant to the subject matter of this litigation and is not
reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible
evidence.
Without waiving the above objection, and insofar as
this Interrogatory pertains to Maryland, this Defendant states
that McCormick Asbestos Company was a distributor of this
Defendant's asbestos-containing products. In 1953, this
Defendant entered into a sales agreement with Owens-Corning
Fiberglas Corporation under which it agreed to the sale of
asbestos-containing products to that corporation. This Defendant
believes that it ceased the general marketing and sales of its
asbestos-containing thermal insulation products at that time.
-18-
disbanded its sales force, and that thereafter, Owens-Corning
Fiberglas Corporation was the primary marketer of its products
until the sale of the division to Owens-Corning Fiberglas
*
Corporation in 1958, and that these circumstances are the reason
that it does not have records or correspondence which would
enable it to answer this Interrogatory for the period after 1954.

insulation products in 1958. This Defendant states that in 1953
*
it entered into a "Sales Agreement" under which it agreed to sell
certain amounts of its asbestos-containing thermal insulation
products to Owens-Corning Fiberglas Corporation. Furthermore,
this Defendant has found information.in its records which
indicate that in at least 1956, it placed Owens-Corning Fiberglas
Corporation's logo on some of its boxes. This Defendant does not
have information sufficient to further respond to this
Interrogatory.

-20-
defendant made appropriate efforts to provide ventilation and to
control the emissions of all dust emitted during the
manufacturing process within recognized save levels of exposure,
including the use of respirators in some instances, dust
collection equipment and other devices as necessary. Therefore,
during the period in which this defendant was in the business of
manufacturing Kaylo it had no reason< to believe that the
foreseeable use of Kaylo would create a hazard to users.
The documents produced by Owens-Corning Fiberglas
Corporation indicate that the September, 1955 publication in the
A.M.A. Archives of Industrial Health was a publication of
inhalation experiments.
To the extent that this interrogatory seeks the
production of documents, such documents, as outlined in this
response, have not been found as part of this defendant's records
and, to the extent that this defendant is in possession of copies
of documents, it possesses copies only of documents collected in
preparation for litigation. This defendant objects to producing
the same. The documents are available from their proper source.

RESPONSE NO. 39:
This defendant objects to this
interrogatory on the grounds that it seeks information which is
not relevant to the subject matter of this litigation and is not
reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible
evidence except as it relates to the period of time within which
this defendant manufactured its asbestos-containing products.
Without waiving the above objection, this defendant
states that insofar as this interrogatory refers to associations
or organizations of which this defendant was a member during the
time when it manufactured asbestos-containing products, it was a
member of the Industrial Hygiene Foundation (which changed its
name to the Industrial Health Foundation in 1970) for the years
1936 through 1975. This defendant was not a member of any of the
other organizations about which this interrogatory inquires.

(e) The title, publisher and dates of subscription to or acquisition of each such periodical or journal for each such library; and
(f) The title, author, publisher, date and dates of acquisition of each such article and book for each such library.
RESPONSE NO. 47:
During the period of time pertinent
to these actions, this defendant did not maintain an entity which
would be characterized as an industrial hygiene, medicine, safety
and/or engineering library. However, this defendant believes
that a separate engineering library may have been maintained by
its technical facility. This defendant also states that although
it has no records indicating the existence of such a library,
upon becoming involved in asbestos-related litigation this
defendant listed all the publications which were in its then-
existing industrial hygiene library. These publications are
listed on Exhibit II. This defendant has not yet determined
which, if any, of these publications were in this defendant's
possession during the time it manufactured, sold and distributed
asbestos-containing products.

dusts, fibers and/or products and the contracting of diseases,
including asbestosis, pneumoconiosis, mesothelioma, lung cancer
and other cancers.
RESPONSE NO. 48:
This defendant objects to this
interrogatory as being irrelevant and not reasonably calculated
to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence and not limited
-44-
to any issue which is the subject of this case. This defendant
further objects to this interrogatory on the grounds that it
seeks information within the work-product privilege and on the
ground that it is oppressive and burdensome in that it would have
to review all of the files and all of the records of all of its
attorneys all over the country to respond to this interrogatory.
INTERROGATORY NO. 49:
If your Answer to
Interrogatory No. 48 is in the affirmative, identify:
(a) How the information was furnished;
(b) Who furnished said information;
(c) When said information was given to you; and

This defendant ceased the
manufacture, sale and distribution of asbestos-containing
products in 1958 pursuant to the sale of its Kaylo division to
Owens-Corning Fiberglas Corporation on April 30, 1958. It has
not found any information in its records pertinent to a record or
document retention policy during the period when it manufactured
its asbestos-containing products or for the period of years
shortly thereafter. In accordance with the contract for the sale
of the Kaylo division, in the ordinary course of business
-72-
relating to such sale, and because of the production of certain
documents by counsel for Owens-Corning Fiberglas Corporation in
several jurisdictions involving asbestos-related litigation in
the United States, this defendant believes that most of its
records pertinent to the Kaylo division were either transferred
or made available to the purchaser of the division in 1958. This
defendant states that it has not destroyed any documents or
records pertaining to the Kaylo division which have been found in
its records in 1975 (the year in which this defendant first
became aware of asbestos-related actions against it) and
thereafter.

-12-
RESPONSE NO. 13:
In 1953, this Defendant entered
into a sales agreement with Owens-Corning Fiberglas Corporation
under which it agreed to the sale of asbestos-containing products
to that corporation. This Defendant believes that it ceased the

that thereafter, Owens-Corning Fiberglas Corporation was the
primary marketer of its product until the sale of the division to
Owens-Corning Fiberglas Corporation in 1958.

To the extent that this
Interrogatory seeks information for any state other than Maryland, this Defendant objects to this Interrogatory on the
basis that it is overbroad and it seeks information which is not relevant to the subject matter of this litigation and is not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence.
Without waiving the above objection, and insofar as this Interrogatory pertains to Maryland, this Defendant states
that McCormick Asbestos Company was a distributor of this Defendant's asbestos-containing products. In 1953, this
Defendant entered into a sales agreement with Owens-Corning
Fiberglas Corporation under which it agreed to the sale of
asbestos-containing products to that corporation. This Defendant
believes that it ceased the general marketing and sales of its
asbestos-containing thermal insulation products at that time,
-18-
disbanded its sales force, and that thereafter, Owens-Corning Fiberglas Corporation was the primary marketer of its products until the sale of the division to Owens-Corning Fiberglas Corporation in 1958, and that these circumstances are the reason that it does not have records or correspondence which would enable it to answer this Interrogatory for the period after 1954.

defendant made appropriate efforts to provide ventilation and to
control the emissions of all dust emitted during the
manufacturing process within recognized save levels of exposure,
*
including the use of respirators in some instances, dust
collection equipment and other devices as necessary. Therefore,
during the period in which this defendant was in the business of
manufacturing Kaylo it had no reason to believe that the
i
foreseeable use of Kaylo would create a hazard to users.
The documents produced by Owens-Corning Fiberglas
Corporation indicate that the September, 1955 publication in the
A.M.A. Archives of Industrial Health was a publication of
inhalation experiments.
To the extent that this Interrogatory seeks the
production of documents, such documents, as outlined in this
response, have not been found as part of this defendant's records
and, to the extent that this defendant is in possession of copies
of documents, it possesses copies only of documents collected in
preparation for litigation. This defendant objects to producing
the same. The documents are available from their proper source.
INTERROGATORY NO. 39:
Identify all trade
organizations, associations or other entities to which you belong
or belonged. Said organizations, etc., include, at a minimum,

RESPONSE NO. 39;
This defendant objects to this
interrogatory on the grounds that it seeks information which is
not relevant to the subject matter of this litigation and is not
reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible
evidence except as it relates to the period of time within which
this defendant manufactured its asbestos-containing products.
Without waiving the above objection, this defendant
states that insofar as this interrogatory refers to associations
or organizations of which this defendant was a member during the
time when it manufactured asbestos-containing products, it was a
member of the Industrial Hygiene Foundation (which changed its
name to the Industrial Health Foundation in 1970) for the years
1936 through 1975. This defendant was not a member of any of the
other organizations about which this interrogatory inquires.

spent or contributed by you annually from 1930 to the present for
research of the relationship between exposure to asbestos dusts,
fibers and/or products and any pulmonary pathology and identify
each person or organization to whom the expenditure or
contribution was made.
RESPONSE NO. 46:
This defendant objects to this
interrogatory on the basis that it seeks information which is not
relevant to the subject matter of this litigation and is not
reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible
evidence.
INTERROGATORY NO. 47:
State whether you have ever
maintained a library (or libraries) which contains books,
articles, periodicals, journals and/or reference materials that
relate to the subjects of asbestos, industrial hygiene, medicine,
safety, occupational disease and/or engineering. If so, state:
(a) The date each such library was established;
(b) The location of each such library;

(f) The title, author, publisher, date and dates of acquisition of each such article and book for each such library.
RESPONSE NO. 47:
During the period of time pertinent
to these actions, this defendant did not maintain an entity which
would be characterized as an industrial hygiene, medicine, safety
and/or engineering library. However, this defendant believes
that a separate engineering library may have been maintained by
its technical facility. This defendant also states that although
it has no records indicating the existence of such a library,
upon becoming involved in asbestos-related litigation this
defendant listed all the publications which were in its then-
existing industrial hygiene library. These publications are
listed on Exhibit II. This defendant has not yet determined
which, if any, of these publications were in this defendant's
possession during the time it manufactured, sold and distributed
asbestos-containing products.

defendants in asbestos litigation have ever furnished you with
any information as to the state of the medical knowledge at any
time regarding the relationship between exposure to asbestos
dusts, fibers and/or products and the contracting of diseases,
including asbestosis, pneumoconiosis, mesothelioma, lung cancer
and other cancers.
RESPONSE NO. 48:
This defendant objects to this
interrogatory as being irrelevant and not reasonably calculated
to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence and not limited
-44-
to any issue which is the subject of this case. This defendant
further objects to this interrogatory on the grounds that it
seeks information within the work-product privilege and on the
ground that it is oppressive and burdensome in'that it would have
to review all of the files and all of the records of all of its
attorneys all over the country to respond to this interrogatory.
INTERROGATORY NO. 49:
If your Answer to
Interrogatory No. 48 is in the affirmative, identify:
(a) How the information was furnished;
(b) Who furnished said information;
(c) When said information was given to you; and

pneumoconiosis, mesothelioma, lung cancer and other cancers, with
any other person, corporation or other business entity, including
co-defendants in this action.
RESPONSE NO. 50:
This defendant objects to this
interrogatory insofar as it may seek to discover work product of
counsel and trial preparation material. Without waiving such
objection, this defendant states that it ceased the manufacture,
sale and distribution of asbestos-containing products and does
not have any records of having interchanged any of the material
referred to in this interrogatory with any of the other
defendants named in this case; however, this defendant states
that defendant Owens-Corning Fiberglas Corporation was entitled
-45-
to receive and may have received from this defendant material of
the type specified in this interrogatory pursuant to an Agreement
dated March 9, 1958 by which this defendant sold the Kaylo
Division to Owens-Corning Fiberglas, if in fact this defendant
had any material of said type at that time. This defendant's
investigation into the subject matter of this interrogatory is
continuing.
