TR-247A b /t.'l CRMC-SBGAB-ConduitPipe-000018 SC-GRAY-2400 Transfte*Conduit provides a durable and depend able protection for your cable system. Introduced to America by Johns-Manvilie, this time-tested material has been buried in the ground or encased in concrete in a wide variety of environments during the past 30 years. When obsolescence or system changes dictate cable removal, pulling out the old and pulling in the new are easily accomplished because of the good condi tion of Transite after years of service. Transite's com bination of resistance to heat, fire, chemicals, abrasion and other mechanical attacks preserves the integrity of your duct system. Transite is a registered Johns-Manvilie trademark identifying products made from three inorganic ingre dients--asbestos fiber, Portland cement and silica. From a slurry or wet mixture of these stone materials, Transite Conduit is formed on a mandrel into a homogeneous duct. It is then steam-cured under pressure in order to increase its inherent chemical stability and physical properties. The steam curing of Transite Conduit is one of many instances of J-M pioneering in the duct field -- drawing upon a continuing program of product developments and refinements conducted at Johns-Manvilie Research Center. Johns-Manvilie took another step forward with the introduction of Plastic Couplings. These couplings provide: (1) Easily-applied joints between duct lengths (2) Joint flexibility permitting deflections up to 5 without special fittings (3) A tight and lasting seal which keeps out silt. Specification requirements for Transite Conduits are detailed in Johns-Manvilie Material Specification DS 928-68. Transite Conduits also meet Federal Specifica tion W-C-571b. For dimensional details of conduit and fittings, see Johns-Manvilie folder TR-271A. Johns-Manvilie backs up every Transite purchase by thorough sales service . . . many conveniently located sales offices and representatives . . . maintenance of stocks by over 300 distributors served by seven J-M plants in the United States and Canada ... all plus a new delivery service by trucks "unit-loaded" at the fac tory in compact, standard units to facilitate unloading and handling on arrival. Transit* Conduit (Type II), with its thicker wall, is laid directly in earth without concrete encasement and is also used for exposed installations. In place of the Transite Couplings shown above, J-M Plastic Couplings are now most always used. 'TRANSITS is a registered Johns-Manvilie trademark tor its brand ot asbestos-cement products. 2 Transite Korduct (Type I), the thinner walled of the two types of Transite Conduit, is designed especially for installation in concrete. Korduct shown here is joined by J-M Plastic Couplings which are now most always specified. Transite Couplings are also available, however.

Non-metallic Transite will not rust and is immune to electrolysis. This material is not affected by water or by most corrosive agents including acids, alkalis, aromatics or aliphatics encountered in soil around industrial plants. Specifically, Transite resists benzine, kerosene, oils, greases and tars. Transite remains inert and unaffected even under high thermal stresses of cable overloads or fault burn-off. Duct never bonds to cable; nor does an arc cause melt ing, fusing or adhesion. Type I provides adequate strength for concrete encasing; thicker-walled Type II resists sustained earth loads and traffic pressures, when properly installed. Both Types maintain specification strength in service, without creep. Higher heat absorption at surface and Transite's lower thermal resistivity combine to dissipate heat better and make cables run cooler, thus reducing cost for heat losses. (This fact provides reserve capacity, thus boost ing system capability.) Incombustible Transite isolates cable inside a fire wall, keeps out external fires. Its ultimate strength provides adequate cable protection. Transite will not harden or deform at loads below ulti mate. Facilitates unloading and handling of ducts. Expedites laying of duct run. Transite and Plastic Couplings are designed to permit rapid, hand assembly on the job. Speeds assembly of duct bank even when complex direc tion changes occur. Minimizes abrasion of cable sheath or jacket. Facilitates cable pulling and decreases strains on cable and equipment. This feature is independent of tempera ture. Transite's resistance to deterioration and heat (even of a fault) assures that, whenever necessary, cable can be removed and new cable pulled in. 3 CRMC-SBGAB-ConduitPipe-000020 TRANSITE <? CONDUIT Ife (TYPE II) Eliminates Concreting-in Transire Conduit (Type II), the thicker-walled asbestoscement duct, is designed for installation underground without concrete reinforcement. Through the elimina tion of concrete, it enables the installer to make sub stantial savings in time, labor and materials. It may be installed in exposed locations, indoors and out. It has the combination of strength factors necessary to withstand all normal soil stresses. These strengths Plastic Couplings Reduce Costs Today J-M Plastic Couplings are used not only to speed joining of duct lengths, but also to offer considerable in stallation savings by permitting in-contact assembly of many duct banks. Savings are possible because of the nearly identical O. D. of plastic couplings and ducts-- and because of the crush strength, rigidity and durability of Transite Ducts. For example, on small distribution banks vertical separation between ducts can be elimi nated. On signal and control banks elimination of both result from the construction of Transite in which mil lions of asbestos fibers dispersed throughout the structure reinforce the cement in much the same manner as steel. Consequently, Transite has six times the tensile strength and three times the compressive strength of first quality ordinary concrete. Millions of feet have been installed without concrete envelopes as laterals under many streets, rights of way, airfields, airports, heavy industrial yards, etc. vertical and horizontal separation is practical. Elimina tion of spacing reduces installation costs because con siderably less trenching and backfilling is required. Confines Cable Faults When cable faults occur any heat or arcing that devel ops is confined within the Transite duct because of its incombustible properties. The heat of the fault will not cause Transite to sag or deteriorate. Arcing may cause slight spalling, but the residue is not abrasive. I 4 CRMC-SBGAB-ConduitPipe-000021 Minimizes Replacements in Corrosive Soils The asbestos-cement composition of Transite Ducts is highly resistant to corrosive attack whether from alka line or acid soils. These ducts stand up in corrosive cinder fills, salt marshes and other troublesome soils. Being non-metallic they are immune to galvanic action, or electrolysis. Transite Ducts usually outlast other types of duct materials even when corrosive action is accentu ated by shock and vibration. Easily Cut and Machines:' Common tools such as a six point rip saw or a large hack saw with a chrome-moly blade will cut Transite Conduit easily and rapidly. The fastest and most effi cient tools, however, are those available from JohnsManville for cutting and tapering asbestos-cement ducts on the job. These tools are stocked at convenient points ready for shipment. Folders giving complete descrip tions are available from Johns-Manville Pipe Division sales offices. Needs No Protective Coating Outdoors When used in exposed locations Transite Conduit (Type II), with Plastic (or Transite) Couplings, needs no paint or periodic maintenance to protect it against weather, corrosive atmosphere or gases. In exposed locations it often outlasts competing duct materials many times over. However, it may be painted or easily cleaned for decorative purposes, if desired. No Expensive Special Fittings Kees. Johns-Manville supplies a wide range of standard fit tings for use with Transite Conduit. These fittings are made of the same asbestos-cement material as the ducts themselves and are machined to the same stand ard taper. These standard fittings provide maximum flexibility in laying out or constructing duct systems. 5 CRMC-SBGAB-ConduitPipe-000022 An example of Transire Conduit's ability to outlast ferrous duct materials several times over is pictured above right. After nearly three decades of service this J-M Duct still has many years of useful life re maining. In this exposed installation it is subjected to heat, corrosive gases, vibration and weather. No painting or maintenance is required. Utilities Obtain Low Cost Banks - and Long Term Protection A well known public utility installed this Transire Conduit bank (below left) without concrete encase ment. If cable failure occurs, the non-combustible Transire will safeguard adjacent cables against heat and flame. The damaged cable can be withdrawn conveniently because Transire Conduit cannot sag and will not adhere to the cable. Transite can not contribute to the formation of explosive or toxic gases. Transite Conduit Systems in Residential Areas Provide Dependable Service at Moderate Cost A Transite Conduit system with large diameter Tran site Pipe Service Boxes (shown below) provides most of the flexibilities and conveniences of a con ventional cable subway and eliminates unsightly and vulnerable overhead lines. A practical applica tion in suburban areas, this installation provides the essentials of a good duct system at moderate cost. CRMC-SBGAB-ConduitPipe-000023 CABLES RUN COOLER ***-+'a*.

Lower l2R Losses, Increased System Capacity The figures given in the table above should interest every distribution engineer because system losses are still a major expense of the electrical power in dustry. This sum is estimated to be more than four hundred million dollars annually for the United States. It is generally agreed that system losses can be reduced by improving the dissipation of heat from conductors under load. The figures in the table are based on a paper approved for presentation by the AIEE Insulated Conductor Committee*. This paper reports test conducted for many years by the Johns-Manville Research Center to determine accurately how Tran site Ducts improve the dissipation of heat by conductors under load. The results of these tests prove that Transite Ducts will carry heavier current loads than organic ducts when the sheath temperatures are the same. This means that cables installed in Transite Ducts can carry heavier loads at peak conditions than the same cables installed in organic ducts. It also means that when a conductor is under a given load, its temperature will be lower when it is installed in a Transite Duct than when it is installed in an organic duct. The lower temperature of the conductor results in a lower electrical re sistance with correspondingly lower I2R losses. The economic result of the reduction in I2R losses depends, of course, on the monetary value per KW. The one selected for the table is considered reasonab le Lower operating temperatures can also prolong in sulation life, resulting in more reliable service and longer cable lifer All these savings--plus the other advantages of Transite Ducts--furnish more than ample econom ic justification for their use. 7 CRMC-SBGAB-ConduitPipe-000024 ANSITE KORDUCT (TYPE I) Korducf Outlasts the Cables It is Designed to Protect Transite Korduct (Type I), the thinner walled Transite Duct,was devel oped particularly for installations where concreting-in is required -- in main line cable subways and in masonry structures. Type I is proportionately as strong as Type II and maintains its strength in service. Transite is also corrosion-resistant, immune to electrolysis and galvanic action. It cannot rot or rust. It is as permanent as stone because its ingredients are stone in origin -- asbestos, cement and silica. No other duct material offers so much promise of permanence. There fore, Transite Korduct can be expected to protect cables long after its cost has been amortized. Carries More Cable Capacity Per Duct Bank Cross-Section As shown at right above, Transite Ducts are unlike other ducts in that the wall itself is a fireproof barrier because of its asbestos-cement construction. This property of Transite can be utilized to reduce the separation between ducts. The closer spacing accomplishes two things: (1) it provides a saving in concrete, (2) it permits the bank to be designed to carry greater cable capacity than other ducts in banks of the same size. This desirable property of Transite Korduct has been utilized advantageously by many designers of cable subways. Affords Greater Protection Against Fire Despite modern precautions, heat and fire are still a potential hazard. Consequently, cables should have the protection that Transite Ducts provide. Transite confines burn-outs, safeguards adjacent cables from damage and reduces the possibility of explosion, fire and panic. Made of incombustible asbestos and cement, Transite Korduct will not burn, smoulder or generate smoke or fumes. This duct material cannot contribute to the formation of explosive gases. The fireproof protection of Transite's asbestos-cement construction is vitally necessary in loca tions such as subways, tunnels, and power plants. CRMC-SBGAB-ConduitPipe-000025 J-M Plastic Couplings are used not only to speed joining of Transite Korduct, but also to offer considerable installation savings bv permitting in-contact assembly of many duct banks. Savings are possible because of the nearly identical O. D. of plastic couplings and ducts--and because of the crush strength, rigidity and durability of Transite Ducts. For exam ple, on small distribution banks vertical separation between ducts can be eliminated. On signal and control banks elimination of both vertical and horizontal separation is practical. Elimination of spacing consider ably reduces installation costs by permitting smaller tremhes. faster duct laying, less concrete and elimination of spacers. CeHe?

These fittings are made of the same asbestos-cement material as the ducts themselves and are machined to a standard taper so that they can be used with Transite Conduit Types I and II or with other Transite Fittings. Many unusual radii bends or sweeps can be made by using standard Transite fittings. For instance, the 5 degree Bend Segment alone can form a wide variety of different curvatures in any multiple of 5 degrees. Used with other Transite curved fittings in various combinations, it can form curvatures of odd degrees. Thus users can clear unexpected obstructions, accommodate layout revisions and simplify cross-overs and transformations. In addition to the many fittings for facilitating direction changes, other fittings are available. There are fittings for making terminal connections, for joining Conduit and other types of ducts in same or different sizes ... to provide for movement due to expansion and contraction ... to join duct runs. These fittings are covered more fully in Folder TR-311A, Instructions for installing Transite Ducts and TR-271A, Transite Ducts and Fittings-- Dimensional Data. J-M PLASTIC COUPLINGS (left) make it easy to rapidly assemble suc cessive lengths of Transite Ducts. They form a silt-tight joint and as sure correct duct alignment. These couplings also permit slight changes in direction. For joining ducts Tapered Coupling joins tapered ends of duct. One furnished with each duct length. Duplex Adaptor joins a tapered end to an untapered end of same duct size and type. Double Duplex Adaptor joins two untapered ends of same duct size and type. Straight Adaptor joins various or same types of duct of same size. Reducing Adaptor joins various types of ducts of different sizes. Expansion Coupling provides for movement due to expansion, con traction or vibration. f- , For making terminal connections End Bells (Standard and Expan sion) designed to protect cables from abrasion. Terminal Box Bell and Flanged Connector for terminating duct lines at metal or wood boxes. For directional changes Bends*"45 and 90; Curved Segments--IP/40 and 22Vi0; Sweeps--12' 6" and 25' radii; Deflection Couplings--556; 5 Bend Segments (male taper on one end, female taper on other). CRMC-SBGAB-ConduitPipe-000027 Plastic spacers simplify Korduct installation in encased bard Plastic spacers are available for all Korduct sizes listed above, and can be supplied with l", IV2", 2" or 3" separation between centers. They are molded in one way units with two lugs on one side and two mating holes on the other to permit rapid, secure field assembly of multiple units. Pre-assembled and cemented 2-. 3and 4-way multiples are also available from the factory. Features include: Skeleton design for maximum concrete between ducts. Rugged construction to withstand rough handling both en route and on the job. Economy because they speed installation and are com petitively priced with other spacers. Lower inventories because interlocking design per mits field assembly of multiple units. Strength to withstand the usual loadings and tem peratures found in duct banks.

Baumgardner, being of full age and first duly sworn do hereby state: 1. Iam not a party to this action. I have personal knowledge ofthe facts set forth in this affidavit, and if called as a witness, I could and would competently testify as to the truth of the matters set forth herein. 2. I am the Research Coordinator for the Claims Resolution Management Corporation ("CRMC"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Manville Personal Injury Settlement Trust ("Trust"). The CRMC was created in December 1998 and is staffed by former Trust employees. On January 1, 1999, CRMC began providing claims resolution facility services to the Trust. 3. In this position, I manage the Asbestos Claims Research Facility ("Facility"), a document and records repository located at 3390 Peoria Street, Suite 304, Aurora, Colorado. The Facility contains the business records including but not limited to correspondence, memoranda, reports, records and data compilations ("record") of Manville Corporation or related entities ("Manville"), generally, as well as Manville records relevant to litigation of asbestos liability. The Trust has managed and operated the Facility from November 28, 1988, the date on which the Manville bankruptcy plan was consummated. 4. My experience and familiarity with the documents at the Facility began in 1983 while working for Manville. In my work as a paralegal for Manville, I assisted in locating, indexing and packing many ofthe records which became the foundation documents for the Facility. I continued to work for Manville until September 1987. From March 1988 to September 1988,1 was hired to supervise and assist in the indexing ofthe first 20,000 boxes which were turned over to the Trust in November 1988. From September 1988 to January 1989, I assisted in the privilege review of documents to be given to the Trust. From November 1988 to April 1994,1 worked for Freeborn & Peters and was put in charge of the Facility, managing all productions and "new" acquisitions. In September 1995,1 was hired by the Trust to manage the Facility. In December 1998,1 was hired by Page 1 the CRMC to manage the Facility for the Trust. Accordingly, I am personally familiar with many of the records stored at the Facility, as well as how the records have been gathered. 5. To the best ofmy knowledge, information and belief, I certify that these records were made at or near the time by, or from information transmitted by, a person with knowledge, were kept in the course ofthe regularly conducted business activity of Manville, and it was the regular practice and the business activity of Manville to make the records. 6. Attached are documents found among the file and microfilm box collections at the Facility. These documents, bates labeled CRMC-SBGAB-ConduitPipe-000001 through CRMCSBGAB-ConduitPipe-000092, are true and correct copies of documents found at the Facility.
