Provide the following information for each asbestos-containing product. which generic product type has been previously identified in exposure sheets in this circuit, with which this answering defendant was involved:
A. The name of the associated business entity so involved;
B. The Product Trade Name of the asbestos product(s) with which the entity was involved (See the definition of "Product Trade Name" at interrogatory number 14(B));

This historical review poses great prejudice and significant burden to Chrysler Corporation, an atypical defendant party in Dade County asbestos litigation. Chrysler Corporation re-adopts the objections filed by Caterpillar, Inc.'s Motion to Strike or in the Alternative Objections to Plaintiffs' Master Preliminary Interrogatories and General
Motors/Detroit Diesel's Motion to Strike Plaintiffs' Second Set of interrogatories as pertains to be information sought by Plaintiff(s), herein.

Answer: Objection. Chrysler Corporation objects to this Interrogatory as overbroad, burdensome and calls for a scientific and/or medical conclusion that Chrysler is not available to provide. This interrogatory improperly assumes that there is or might, be adverse health effects associated with the use of chrysotile asbestos. Consequentially, answering Defendant cannot respond to the interrogatory in its present form. Additionally, the interrogatory is designed to elicit a response that maybe used in a misleading manner at the time of trial rather than the discovery factual information. Chrysler does not acknowledge a causal relationship between exposure to brake dust or clutch facing dust and any diseased illness. Chrysler was, however, aware in the 1930's that certain types of raw asbestos could cause pulmonary disease when inhaled in large quantities. Notably, chrysotile asbestos used in friction products is a different type of asbestos than the types involved in insulation products.
29. Knowledge/Asbestosis
Please state whether Defendant obtained, prior to 1980, any knowledge concerning the association, if any, between the inhalation of asbestos fibers and a lung disease known as asbestosis, in users, consumers and/or persons exposed to asbestos and/or asbestos containing products. If so, please state:
Answer:
A. When any of this knowledge was first acquired, how it was acquired, identify by whom it was acquired, and state the substance of the knowledge acquired;
B. As to each such occasion thereafter in which your knowledge as to asbestosis increased either relative to the types of exposures (i.e. trades and occupations, etc.) and/or types of products which became associated with the development of asbestosis state:
(1) when was this additional knowledge acquired;
(2) how was this additional knowledge acquired;
(3) identify by whom it was acquired;
(4) state the substance of the additional knowledge acquired;

F. Identify all documents related in any way to each caution, warning or hazard statement and the custodian thereof.
Answer:
Objection. This interrogatory is not specific as to a time period, it is irrelevant, overbroad and burdensome. Furthermore, Chrysler has sold motor vehicles with brakes and clutch parts allegedly installed in these automobile vehicles and are generally not shipped in packages with respect to after-market products. They are shipped in cardboard cartons of various sizes. These products may also have been distributed as components incorporated into motor vehicles of various sizes and descriptions.

C. State the specific instructions provided; and
D. Identify all oral communications and documents related to these instructions. If oral identify the approximate date of said communication and the parties involved, if written provide the custodian of said documents.
Answer:
Objection. This Interrogatory is burdensome and overbroad. Without waiving this objection, the repair manuals were available from Chrysler Corporation with respect to repairs on Chrysler motor vehicles. Repair manuals have been in existence for decades. Notwithstanding this objection, warnings have been placed in the service repair manual continually since 1984 and have been on all new asbestos containing after market brake or clutch products since 1983. (See attached 1973 and 1984 Service Manual regarding Warnings).
36. Warning/Mask

GENERAL INFORMATION
All drum brake applications are two shoe, internal expanding brakes with application adjusters. The lower ends of the brake shoes are connected by a tubular star wheel adjusting screw (Figs. 1 and 21. CAUTION: When servicing brake assemblies or com
ponents, do not create dust by sanding, grinding or by
cleaning brake parts with a dry brush or with com
pressed air. A water dampened cloth should be used. Many brake components contain asbestos fibers which can become airborne it dust is created during service operations. Breathing dust which contains asbastes fibers can cause serious bodily harm.

Install new brake shoe return springs and bold down springs where the old springs have been sub jected to overheating or if their strength is question able. Spring paint discoloration or distorted end coils indicate a spring that had been overheated.
DRUM REFACING RECOMMENDATIONS
Drum Refacing--Measure the drum runout and di ameter with an accurate gauge. There should be no variation in the drum diameter greater than .002 inch. Drum runout should not exceed .006 inch out of round. If the drum runout or diameter variation ex ceed these values the drum should be refaced. For best results in eliminating the irregularities that cause brake roughness and surge, the amount of material removed during a single cut should be lim ited to .005 inch. When the entire braking surface has been cleaned a final cut of .001 inch will assure a good drum surface providing the equipment used is capa ble of giving the precision required for resurfacing brake drums. Deeper cuts are permissible for the sole purpose of removing deep score marks. Do not rofaco more than .060 Inch over the standard drum diameter.
All drums will show markings of maximum allow-

New brake shoe return springs and hold down springs should be installed where the old springs have been subjected to overheating or if their strength is questionable. Spring paint discoloration or distorted end coils would indicate an overheated spring.
GRINDING AND REFACING RECOMMENDATIONS
Brake Shoe Lining--New lining should be ipea* sured and ground .060 in. to .080 in. (maximum under the drum diameter). When replacing brake shoe and lining assemblies, always check them in the drum

they are to be used with to insure that they have the recommended radius grind. This grind, which should provide at least .004 inch heel and toe clearance, is necessary for proper lining to drum contact during hraice application. CAUTION: When resurfacing or refacing brake shoes follow manufacturing recommendations for proper use of their equipment. Whatever equipment is used,
ensure that proper ventilation is provided to remove
asbestos dust, which can be detrimental ter health.
Drum Refacirrg--Measure the drum runout and di ameter with an accurate gauge. There should be no variation in the drum diameter greater than .002 inch. Drum runout should not exceed .006 inch out of rbund. If the drum runout or diameter variation ex ceed these values the drum should be refaced. Re move only as much material as is necessary to clean up the drum. It is recommended the front drums be refaced with the wheel and tire mounted. Do not reface more than .060 inch over tho standard drum
diameter.
NOTE: All drums will show markings of maximum allowable diameter (Fig. 101. For example, a nine inch drum will have a marking of MAX. DIA. 9.090". This margir.g includes .030" for allowable drum wear be yond the recommended .060" of drum refacing.
