GALIHER: 09:54:23 12 ships, if they were steam powered, they were virtually 09:57:46 13 Q. Okay. It indicates that John S. Leslie was the 09:54:24 13 on every steam-powered ship the United States Navy had; 09:57:48 14 vice president and general manager during World War II 09:54:40 14 is that correct? 09:57:52 15 and became president; is that correct? 09:54:43 15 A. I would be surprised if there was a steamship 09:57:52 16 A. Yes, sir. 09:54:45 16 that the Leslie equipment was not aboard. 09:57:56 17 Q. And is that your understanding? 09:54:45 17 Q. Okay. And on those steamships the United 09:57:59 18 A. Yes, sir. 09:54:47 18 States Navy operated, you'd expect them to have Leslie 09:58:01 19 Q. And following the war, Leslie had efforts that 09:54:48 19 controls on board? 09:58:04 20 were directed towards developing products and markets 09:54:58 20 A. If it was a steamship, as I said, I would be 09:58:05 21 for industrial applications, in addition to meeting the 09:55:00 21 surprised if they were not on it. 09:58:08 22 company's obligation of leadership and designing 09:55:04 22 Q. Okay.

Besides its Navy work, "A prime effort was made 2 to develop controls for the steam-generating power 3 plants that light the nation"; is that correct? 4 A. Yes, sir. 5 Q. And Leslie was aware, was it not, in the '40s 6 and '50s, that as the boiler pressures reached new 7 heights, that the steam controls were being designed for 8 pressures that were very deadly? 9 A. They knew it was high pressure. Does it say 10 deadly here? I don't see that word. Oh, yes. It says 11 that there. 12 Q. In fact, they knew that they were designing 13 equipment that was to be around steam lines and steam 14 systems that could be extremely dangerous if they 15 weren't properly controlled; is that correct? 16 A. Yes, sir. 17 Q. And Leslie said that they keep abreast of 18 changes in technology and prior work they've learned at 19 their own manufacturing facilities, as well as the 09:55:13 09:55:18 1 2 09:55:21 3 09:55:26 4 09:55:26 5 09:55:34 6 09:55:38 7 09:55:49 8 09:56:02 9 09:56:06 10 09:56:08 11 09:56:09 12 09:56:12 13 09:56:17 14 09:56:20 15 09:56:22 16 09:56:24 17 09:56:28 18 09:56:31 19 A. Yes, sir. Q. Portsmouth's Naval Shipyard? A. Yes, sir. Q. San Diego? A. I believe so, sir. Q. Okay. Newport News? A. Yes, sir. Q. Brooklyn? A. Yes, sir. Q. Okay. In fact, anywhere where steam-powered naval vessels were being constructed, Leslie valves would be sold; is that correct? A. I believe so, yes. Q. And along with those Leslie valves to the United States Navy, they would also supply replacement parts; is that correct? A. Yes, sir. Q. And the replacement parts for Leslie steam equipment would generally include things like asbestos 09:58:25 09:58:25 09:58:28 09:58:29 09:58:30 09:58:33 09:58:35 09:58:35 09:58:37 09:58:38 09:58:43 09:58:46 09:58:48 09:58:49 09:58:52 09:58:56 09:58:56 09:58:58 09:59:01 20 products that they made for others; is that correct? 09:56:34 20 packing and asbestos gaskets; is that correct? 21 A. To my knowledge, sir, yes. 09:56:36 21 A. It would contain -- some of the spare parts 22 Q. In fact, they said that the upper boiler 09:56:38 22 were gaskets and packing that contained asbestos. Yes, 23 pressures in the '40s and '50s were going to new heights 09:56:42 23 sir. 09:59:05 09:59:07 09:59:12 09:59:15 24 which had never before been controlled other than the 25 laboratory basis, and Leslie Company soon found itself 09:56:46 24 09:56:52 25 Q.

Do you see that? 10:15:41 13 A. Yes, sir. 10:12:43 13 A. Yes, sir. 10:15:45 14 Q. And there were various classes of destroyers. 10:12:43 14 Q. And followed by another 14 that were built by 10:15:45 15 They just didn't build one. Often they would build them 10:12:48 15 Seattle-Tacoma Shipbuilding Company in Seattle, 10:15:49 16 in groups, and frequently those were entire classes of 10:12:52 16 Washington. Do you see that? 10:15:53 17 ships? 10:12:55 17 A. Yes, sir. 10:15:54 18 A. Yes, sir. 10:12:56 18 Q. And then on the bottom, it has an additional 12 10:15:55 19 Q.

Do you see that? 10:16:03 21 A. I believe that's World War II destroyers. 10:13:05 21 A. Yes, sir. 10:16:04 22 Q. I'm going to hand you what I've marked as 10:13:08 22 Q. That second page says 30. That's my addition 10:16:05 23 Exhibit 5 entitled "Instructions for the Operation and 10:13:11 23 of 14, 4, and 12. And the 24 from the previous page, 10:16:10 24 Maintenance of Leslie Pump Governors for DD-445 Class 10:13:14 24 that would be 54 destroyers itemized there; is that 10:16:18 25 United States Destroyers." It has "Leslie Company, 10:13:20 25 correct? 10:16:22 Page 34 Page 36 1 Lyndhurst, NewJersey," at the bottom. 10:13:29 1 A. Yes, sir. 10:16 : 2 2 2 (Plaintiffs' Exhibit 5 marked.) 10:14:07 2 Q. Okay. Whatwas the purpose of these 10:16 : 2 3 3 BY MR. GALIHER: 10:14:07 3 instructions? 10:16:29 4 Q. Do you recognize that document? 5 A. I've seen documents like this before. Yes, 6 sir. 10:14:07 10:14:08 10:14:11 4 5 A. They gave the principal operation of how the pump pressure or the pump governor worked. It gave installation instructions. 10:16:30 10:16:41 10:16:46 7 Q. Okay. And that would be typical of the type of 10:14:11 7 Q. M-hm. 10:16:49 8 document that Leslie would prepare for use with their 10:14:13 8 A. And then it went into the operation of how to 9 equipment aboard the US naval ships? CO H H O H 9 start up the pump governor, and it also went into 10 A. For this period of time, I've seen these -- 10:14:21 10 cleaning and repairing. 10:16:50 10:16:56 10:16:59 11 Q. Okay. 10:14:25 11 Q. Okay. And was that typical of the type of 10:17:00 12 A. -- of this format. 13 Q. Okay. And as you open that up, on the second 14 page and the third page, it has listings of various hull 10:14:26 12 10:14:27 13 10:14:31 14 instruction Leslie would give the US Navy sailors who are working on this equipment, instructions on how to maintain and operate this equipment? 10:17:04 10:17:14 10:17:16 15 numbers and the various shipyards where those hull 10:14:39 15 A. This is the format that I've seen for World War 10:17:18 16 numbers of the Fletcher class destroyers were built; is 10:14:42 16 II. 10:17:22 17 that correct? 18 A. Yes, sir. 10:14:46 17 10:14:46 18 Q. Okay. Do you know whether the Leslie equipment that was aboard the Fletcher class made its way to Pearl 10:17:22 10:17:51 19 Q. And on page 2, for instance, it has six 10:14:47 19 Harbor Naval Shipyard? 10:17:59 20 destroyers that were built by Bethlehem Steel, Staten 10:14:54 20 A. I personally don't know. I assume if these 10:18:03 21 Island, New York; is that correct? 22 A. Yes, sir. 10:14:59 21 10:15:00 22 destroyers came to Pearl Harbor, the equipment came with it. 10:18:06 10:18:10 23 Q. And then below that, it has an additional 16 10:15:00 23 Q. Okay. Are you aware that the Fletcher class 10:18:10 24 that were built by Bethlehem Steel here in San 10:15:04 24 that was named for the DD-445, the Fletcher itself, was 10:18:16 25 Francisco; is that correct? 10:15:08 25 stationed at Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard? 10:18:21 Page 35 Page 37 10 (Pages 34 to 37) A309C8E MATTHEW WROBEL DECEMBER 1, 2009 A. I don't know that for a fact, sir. 2 Q. Okay. But the fact that if these 3 steam-powered naval destroyers were overhauled or 10:18:24 10:18:25 10:18:30 1 2 3 contains asbestos," did they? A. No. Sir, I have a question. Q. Sure. 10 :22 :03 10 :22 :04 10:22:05 4 repaired at Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard, the fact that 10:18:37 4 A. Are we talking about asbestos in general, or 10:22:06 5 they would have Leslie equipment on them would not 10:18:41 5 are we talking about the gaskets and packing that were 10:22:09 surprise you; is that correct? 7 A. It would not surprise me. 10:18:44 10:18:45 6 7 included in the equipment that contained asbestos? Q. I'llaskmy question first. Any kind of 10:22:15 10:22:18 Q. By the way, when you were the assistant manager 10:18:46 8 asbestos. 10:22:20 9 of manufacture, I believe that was in 1980? 10:18:59 9 A. Not to my knowledge, sir. 10:22:21 10 A. I believe so, sir, yes. 10:19:03 10 Q. Okay. With respect to asbestos insulation, you 10:22:24 11 Q. And prior to that, you were -- in your other 10:19:04 11 know what I'm describing when I talk about that? 10:22:31 12 positions, you were supervisor of process inspection. 10:19:10 12 A. I'm assuming you are talking about the lagging, 10:22:33 13 You were test supervisor. You were a quality control 10:19:16 13 what's on the ships? 10:22:37 14 supervisor. 15 In all ofthat period during the 1970s, you 10:19:19 14 10:19:20 15 Q. For instance, 85 percent mag, when I refer to that, you understand that, what that is? 10:22:38 10:22:44 16 worked around the new shop -- is that correct? -- or in 10:19:27 16 A. No, I really don't, what the term is. 10:22:45 17 the shops where this equipment was being manufactured? 10:19:30 17 Q. Do you understand that the asbestos thermal 10:22:47 18 A. Oh, yes, sir. 19 Q. During that period of time, no one from Leslie 20 told you that asbestos was dangerous; is that correct? 10:19:33 18 10:19:34 19 10:19:41 20 insulation, in fact, contained asbestos, the lagging? A. Ido currently. In fact, I didn't. When I went aboard the America or aboard the other one, when I 10:22:50 10:22:54 10:22:59 21 A. I don't remember, sir. I don't remember that. 10:19:45 21 went aboard, no one told me it was asbestos. In fact, 10:23:03 22 Q. And likewise, Leslie didn't tell any of those 23 180 people under you that worked on that floor that 24 asbestos was dangerous? 10:19:48 22 10:19:57 23 10:20:00 24 the only thing -- we had like a safety thing before you go in. The only thing they told us is to watch where we walked, and the only thing they asked me to bring, the 10:23:08 10:23:12 10:23:15 25 A. Not to my knowledge, sir. 10:20:01 25 shipyard itself, was a hard hat. 10:23:18 Page 38 Page 40 1 Q. Okay. And OSHA came out in 1972. Are you 10:20:03 1 Q. Okay. Likewise, the steam-powered whistles 10:23:21 2 aware ofthat? 10:20:06 2 that Leslie Controls sold had asbestos insulation on 10:23:27 3 A. Okay. I'll take your word for it. 10:20:07 3 them, did they not? 10:23:32 4 Q. Okay. Have you seen documents that indicate 5 that? A. Possibly, I might have. I don't remember the 10:20:10 10:20:12 10:20:12 4 5 6 MR. HUGO: Objection -THEWITNESS: Notonthem. MR. HUGO: -- vague and ambiguous as to 10:23:35 10:23:36 10:23:36 7 exact date. 10:20:18 7 "insulation" and "on them." Go ahead. 10:23:37 8 MR. GALIHER: Next I'll markas Exhibit 6 a 9 Federal Register dated Wednesday, June 7, 1972. 10 (Plaintiffs' Exhibit 6 marked.) 10:20:23 8 10:20:29 9 10:21:10 10 BY MR. GALIHER: Q. As a component part? A. They had insulation internally that was covered 10:23:38 10:23:39 10:23:40 11 BY MR. GALIHER: 10:21:10 11 by a shroud that was riveted to the body. 10:23:47 12 Q. Does that refresh your memory as to when OSHA 10:21:11 12 Q. And that was asbestos insulation? 10:23:49 13 came into existence? 14 A. I guess. 10:21:13 13 10:21:14 14 A. Up until somewhere in the 1960s, I believe. Q. And Leslie Controls sold that asbestos 10:23:51 10:23:55 15 Q. Okay. In any event, Leslie Controls didn't 10:21:16 15 insulation as a component replacement part for those 10:24:00 16 inform their employees about the hazards of asbestos 10:21:22 16 steam-powered whistles, did they not? 10:24:04 17 between 1972 and 1980, did they? 18 A. Not to my knowledge. 10:21:26 17 10:21:30 18 A. It could be ordered. Q. Okay. 10:24:07 10:24:12 19 Q. Okay. Likewise, Leslie Controls never told 10:21:30 19 A. In all the years I was with Leslie, I never saw 10:24:12 20 their customers about the hazards of asbestos, did they? 10:21:38 20 any ordered, to my knowledge, which would make sense 10:24:15 21 A. Not to my knowledge. 22 Q. Okay. And during the entire time that Leslie 10:21:41 21 10:21:44 22 because it wasn't a wearing part, and you really couldn't take off the shroud. It was kind of like the 10:24:18 10:24:23 23 Controls supplied and sold asbestos-containing steam 10:21:50 23 old iron your grandmother had. You know, inside it had 10:24:25 24 control products to the United States Navy, they never 10:21:57 24 insulation, but it was completely sealed. On the 10:24:29 25 affixed a warning label on there, "Caution: This 10:22:00 25 whistles, it was like that. 10:24:33 Page 39 Page 41 11 (Pages 38 to 41) A309C8E MATTHEW WROBEL DECEMBER 1, 2009 1 Q. Next I'll show you what we'll mark as Exhibit 11:07:33 1 Q. Yes. On the right-hand column in the middle. 11:24:25 2 10, "Transactions of the American Society of Mechanical 11:07:37 2 A.

That's what it says here. 11:24:33 5 BY MR. GALIHER: 11:08:45 5 Q. And it indicates he is the president of Leslie 11:24:35 6 Q. Can I direct your attention to the last page, 11:08:46 6 Company? 11:24:40 7 and can you find on there where John Leslie is 11:08:48 7 A. Yes, sir. 11:24:40 8 identified as a member of the American Society of 11:08:53 8 Q. And that's located in Lyndhurst, New Jersey? 11:24:40 9 Mechanical Engineers? 11:08:56 9 A. Yes, sir. 11:24:43 10 A. Yes, sir, I have. 11:08:57 10 Q. And, again, he indicates that he first became a 11:24:43 11 Q. And he is a member of the Lyndhurst 11:08:59 11 member in 1935; is that correct? 11:24:46 12 Metropolitan Section? 11:09:07 12 A. Again, it looks like maybe 1945. 11:24:47 13 A. That's what it says here. Yes, sir. 11:09:09 13 Q. Well, we can go up to the front where I think 11:24:50 14 Q. And Lyndhurst is, in fact, where the Leslie 11:09:11 14 it explains that. I think somehow it's stated it's 11:24:53 15 manufacturing plant was located; is that correct? 11:09:13 15 changed, but we're happy to do that. I'm just 11:24:58 16 A. Yes, sir. 11:09:15 16 interested in the first date, but we'll go to the second 11:24:59 17 Q. And it indicates there that he was a member 11:09:16 17 one, too, if you want to explore that. 11:25:02 18 since 1935; is that correct? 11:09:20 18 A. I'm just saying I don't know what that means. 11:25:06 19 A. That's what it looks like, sir, yes. I can 11:09:23 19 Q. Okay. It indicates that -- 11:25:08 20 partly read it, but yes. 11:09:27 20 A. Was that a break in -- I don't know. 11:25:12 21 MR. GALIHER: And then next I will mark as 11:09:44 21 Q. It says on page Roman numeral VII, Roman 11:25:15 22 Exhibit 11 -- 11:09:47 22 numeral VII, alphabetical list.

Do you see that? A. Yes, sir. I don't know if I understand what that means, but I see it. Q. And it would appear that he had some sort of different grade of membership as of -- A. 1946. 11:25:39 11:25:42 11:25:45 11:25:48 11:25:49 11:25:53 11:25:55 11:25:59 11:26:01 10 The time on the screen is 11:23 a.m. This marks the 11:23:16 10 Q. '45, but the original membership would have 11:26:02 11 beginning of tape two in the deposition of Matthew 11:23:20 11 been in 1935. 11:26:05 12 Wrobel on December 1st, 2009. 13 (Plaintiffs' Exhibit 11 marked.) 11:23:23 12 11:23:26 13 A.

Thank you. 11:55:30 11:55:31 3 the '60s, I believe. 11:51:30 3 And with respect to the naval equipment that 11:55:42 4 Q. Okay. And they sold steam whistles to the 11:51:31 4 we've been describing here, they were generally 11:55:46 5 Navy; is that correct? A. Yes, sir. 7 Q. And Leslie made whistles from the 1930s to the 11:51:35 11:51:36 11:51:37 5 7 commercial equivalents to the Navy pump regulators, were they not? A. Similar valves to the--okay. When I say 11:55:51 11:55:55 11:55:56 8 1980s? 11:51:50 commercial equivalent, I mean the operation is the same. 11:56:03 9 A. Yes, sir. 11:51:50 9 There are things that are definitely different, but they 11:56:06 10 Q. And on the Fletcher class destroyers we 11:51:51 10 are similar in operation. 11:56:09 11 discussed, Leslie sold pump pressure regulators, 11:52:05 11 Q. You call it a commercial equivalent, do you 11:56:10 12 reducing-valve temperature regulators, and control 11:52:11 12 not? 11:56:15 13 valves, as well as whistles? 11:52:16 13 A. This is not a bad term, but there's 11:56:15 14 A. I know definitely that they sold pump pressure 11:52:18 14 differences. 11:56:18 15 regulators. I wouldn't be surprised if the other ones 11:52:25 15 Q. The materials of the commercial pump governor 11:56:19 16 are there, too. I just don't have any shipment 11:52:28 16 are basically the same as the Navy product; is that 11:56:23 17 equipment records on those, sir. 11:52:32 17 correct? 11:56:26 18 Q. Have you given sworn testimony as to what 11:53:14 18 A. Basically the same if the class is the same. 11:56:26 19 equipment was aboard Fletcher class destroyers as being 11:53:16 19 However, there could be some large differences in -- 11:56:36 20 "Pump pressure regulators.

I'm trying to help as much as possible. 11:56:53 11:56:53 24 A. Yes, sir. That's true. 11:53:34 24 An example would be -- let's say it's a 11:56:57 25 Q. Leslie also acquired other valve companies, 11:53:38 25 commercial pump governor, and the body is made out of 11:56:59 Page 86 Page 88 1 like Kelly Mueller; isthat correct? 11:53:43 1 like ASTM 816 carbon steel. There is an equivalent that 11:57:03 2 A. Yes, sir. But that was after we moved to 11:53:45 2 could be a mil spec, too, for the military, but the 11:57:11 3 Tampa. 11:53:48 3 materials are similar. One would be carbon steel. The 11:57:14 4 Q. Leslie sold itswhistles pre-insulated for 11:53:56 4 other one would be carbon steel. 11:57:19 5 steam application; is that correct? 11:54:01 5 Q. Have you testified before with respect to 11:57:21 6 A. Some of them, yes, sir. 11:54:02 6 specific valves that the commercial version set forth 11:57:34 7 Q. And with respect to Leslie drawings for 11:54:07 7 were the same as those used -- as the Navy version -- 11:57:44 8 equipment that happened to go aboard LSD ships, those 11:54:13 8 MR. HUGO: I object -- 11:57:44 9 drawings were not unique to any ship? 11:54:21 9 BY MR. GALIHER: 11:57:44 10 A.

Okay. 3 -- on how you are asking it. 11:58:48 3 A. -- except for the Navy who mandated it. 4 MR. HUGO: Just ask about his question, not 11:58:56 4 Q. With respect to your use of asbestos gaskets, 5 about something you think was done in the past. So if you don't understand his question now, tell him and he 11:58:58 11:59:01 5 6 you would have continued to purchase asbestos gaskets and use them if you could still have gotten them in the 7 can rephrase it or repeat it. 11:59:03 7 1980s; is that correct? 8 BY MR.

With respect to the non-Navy uses versus the 11:59:57 1 A. I remember receiving gaskets from Johns 12 :04:2 4 2 Navy uses, the valves were similar, but there were 12:00:13 2 Manville. Yes, sir. 12:04:27 3 discrete differences. For instance, cast iron not 12:00:18 3 Q. And Leslie incorporated compressed asbestos 12:04:28 4 allowed for Navy valves.

You indicated that Leslie supplied insulated 12:37:46 17 asbestos fiber release during normal maintenance or 12:14:53 17 whistles for steam-powered vessels; is that correct? 12:37:54 18 repair; is that correct? 12:14:58 18 A. We supplied whistles that had internal 12:37:59 19 A. Not to my knowledge, sir. 12:14:59 19 insulation. Yes, sir. 12:38:03 20 Q. And you knew that asbestos gaskets had to be 12:15:00 20 Q. Okay. And thatwas asbestos-containing 12:38:04 21 replaced, as well as asbestos packing had to be 12:15:05 21 insulation, was it not? 12:38:06 22 replaced, in the normal course of maintenance or 12:15:10 22 A. Up to around the '60s, yes, sir. 12:38:08 23 repairs; is that correct? 12:15:12 23 Q. What happened in about the 1960s when you claim 12:38:10 24 A. Yes, sir. 12:15:17 24 they quit producing or supplying that 12:38:14 25 Q. Do you agree that it's important to know if a 12:15:18 25 asbestos-containing insulation with the whistles? What 12:38:17 Page 98 Page 100 1 particular component sold can have a potentially 12:15:44 1 caused that to happen? 2 hazardous effect on the user? 12:15:47 2 A. I really don't know, sir. 3 A. I agree. 12:15:49 3 Q. Do you have any documents to support that 4 Q. You don't want to hurt anyone who works around 12:15:49 4 suggestion? 5 or with your product; is that correct? 12:15:57 5 MR. HUGO: Vague and ambiguous as to "that 6 A. That's correct. 12:15:59 6 suggestion." Go ahead. 7 Q. And it's important to test component parts if 12:15:59 7 THE WITNESS: I recall seeing a drawing for 8 you knew or should have known it's hazardous? 12:16:04 8 that particular component and a change block that said 9 A. If those parts were considered harmful, yes, 12:16:07 9 they went from asbestos-containing material to 12:38:21 12:38:22 12:38:23 12:38:25 12:38:26 12:38:29 12:38:31 12:38:34 12:38:40 10 sir. 12:16:13 10 fiberglass, I believe. 12:38:44 11 Q. And if known in an industrial community, in 12 trade magazines, et cetera, that asbestos materials, 13 such as gaskets and packing, was carcinogenic, you'd 12:16:13 11 12:16:18 12 12:16:21 13 BY MR. GALIHER: Q. What was the reason for that? A. I could not locate a reason for it, sir. 12:38:45 12:38:46 12:38:47 14 want all information available before including that in 12:16:25 14 Q. And when was it that you saw this document? 12:38:53 15 your product; is that correct? 16 A. I don't understand the question, sir. Sorry. 17 MR. HUGO: Do you need a break at this point? 18 THE WITNESS: It wouldn't be a bad point. 19 MR. GALIHER: Oh, wait. Thereis a question 20 pending. 21 MR. HUGO: That's fine. Let him finish this 22 question, and then we'll take a break. 23 THE WITNESS: Okay. 24 BY MR. GALIHER: 25 Q. Question: If in fact it was known in the 12:16:30 15 12:16:32 16 12:16:56 17 12:16:58 18 12:17:03 19 12:17:04 20 12:17:06 21 12:17:08 22 12:17:16 23 12:17:16 24 12:17:18 25 A. Three years ago, maybe. Q. Was it in a deposition in this litigation? A. I don't believe so, sir. Q. Who showed you that document? A. I was asked about it by counsel. Q. Did you search and find it, or did counsel search and find it? A. I was -- I found it. Q. Were there any documents that discussed the reason for not using asbestos insulation and going to fiberglass? 12:39:03 12:39:05 12:39:09 12:39:16 12:39:17 12:39:25 12:39:28 12:39:29 12:39:32 12:39:36 12:39:41 Page 99 Page 101 26 (Pages 98 to 101) A309C8E MATTHEW WROBEL DECEMBER 1, 2009 1 A. No, sir. I even went so far as to look for the 12:39:42 1 A. Not that I can recall, sir. 12:43:03 2 change notice or any documents like that, and I couldn't 12:39:45 2 (Discussion offthe record.) 12:43:27 3 find them. 12:39:51 3 MR. GALIHER: Next, I'll mark as Plaintiffs' 12:43:28 4 Q. Are you aware that -- you are not aware that -- 12:39:52 4 Exhibit 14 excerpts from a "Technical Manual, Type I, 12:43:30 5 I withdraw the question. You are not aware of the Navy prohibiting 12:39:59 12:40:06 5 6 for Air Priority Valve" by Leslie for the Department of Navy, Naval Ships Systems Command. 12:43:36 12:43:42 7 Leslie from putting any materials in your manuals, are 12:40:09 7 THE WITNESS: I remember that now, sir. 12:44:03 8 you? 12:40:13 8 (Plaintiffs' Exhibit 14 marked.) 12:44:05 9 A. I'm sorry, sir? 12:40:13 9 BY MR. GALIHER: 12:44:05 10 MR. HUGO: I think you misspoke. You said put 12:40:14 10 Q. Leslie wrote in itstechnical manual here 12:44:10 11 materials in the manuals. 12:40:17 11 giving a warning to the mechanics or the sailors that 12:44:14 12 MR. GALIHER: I withdraw the question. 12:40:18 12 were cleaning certain Leslie equipment; is that correct? 12:44:17 13 Q. You are not aware of the Navy prohibiting 12:40:19 13 A. Yes, sir. 12:44:22 14 Leslie from including any information in its technical 12:40:24 14 Q. And what did it warn them for? 12:44:23 15 manuals? 12:40:29 15 A. It says, "Flammable and toxic solvents should 12:44:25 16 A. Including any materials? I haven't read the 17 entire manual on how to make technical manuals. 12:40:29 16 12:40:46 17 be only used in a well-ventilated area. Avoid breathing solvent vapors." I remember that now. 12:44:30 12:44:36 18 Personally, I'm not aware of any. No, sir. 12:40:51 18 Q. Okay. And a warning was supposed to be given 12:44:36 19 Q. So we are clear, you are not aware of any 12:40:54 19 when someone can be personally injured or death could 12:44:39 20 prohibition that has ever been placed by the government 12:40:56 20 result; is that correct? 12:44:44 21 or the United States Navy on Leslie controls including 12:40:59 21 A. That's my understanding, sir. 12:44:44 22 certain material in manuals; is that correct? 12:41:03 22 Q. Okay. And no such warning was given for 12:44:46 23 A. Yes. I'm not aware of any, sir. 12:41:05 23 asbestos at any time ever by Leslie; is that correct? 12:44:49 24 Q. Okay. Nothing precluded Leslie from placing 12:41:10 24 A. Not to my knowledge. 12:44:52 25 cautions re asbestos? 12:41:17 25 Q. Who at Leslie decided to put that warning in 12:44:53 Page 102 Page 104 1 MR. HUGO: Vague. Where? Are you talking 12 :41:2 2 1 there and why? 12:45:06 2 about manuals still? 12 :41:2 5 2 A. I have no idea. I don't know who wrote it, 12:45:07 3 BY MR. GALIHER: 12:41:29 3 sir. 12:45:12 4 Q. In technical manuals. 5 A. Not that I'm aware of, sir. 12:41:30 4 12:41:32 5 Q. And the intent by Leslie was that the Navy would follow its maintenance manuals when it performed 12:45:12 12:45:30 6 Q. Okay. The Navy never precluded Leslie from 12:41:35 repairs; is that correct? 12:45:34 7 including caution or a warning label in their technical 12:41:45 7 A. That's my understanding, sir. 12:45:34 8 manuals; is that correct? 9 A. Not to my knowledge, sir. 12:41:50 8 12:41:51 9 Q. And all statements in the manual were by Leslie? 12:45:36 12:45:38 10 Q. And you are not aware of the Navy ever 12:41:52 10 A. The manuals are drafted -- well, it depends on 12:45:42 11 prohibiting Leslie from placing warnings in tech 12:42:00 11 -- the manuals were drafted by Leslie and sent to the 12:45:45 12 manuals? 13 A. Not to my knowledge, sir. 12:42:04 12 12:42:04 13 Navy for approval. They could have been edited, I believe. 12:45:48 12:45:53 14 Q. Are you aware of Leslie issuing any warning 12:42:05 14 Q. My question to you: Leslie Controls wrote the 12:45:53 15 regarding anything in these technical manuals? 12:42:34 15 manuals that it supplied to the Navy for the maintenance 12:46:19 16 A. I've seen caution notices in technical manuals, 17 yes, sir, for mechanical purposes and stuff like that. 18 Q. How about a warning for personal injury 12:42:38 16 12:42:42 17 12:42:44 18 of its products. Isthattrue? A. Yes, sir. Q. And all of the statements made in the manuals 12:46:21 12:46:23 12:46:23 19 purposes? 12:42:46 19 were made by Leslie; is that correct? 12:46:26 20 A. Well, if you mean -- there could be like -21 example: If you are taking a valve apart, a warning to 22 take the tension off the spring before you take it 12:42:47 20 12:42:52 21 12:42:56 22 A. Yes, sir. We wrote the manual. Q. And Leslie knew the manual would be used by the Navy for the maintenance of the equipment Leslie sold to 12:46:29 12:46:31 12:46:45 23 apart. That type of thing. 12:42:58 23 the Navy; is that correct? 12:46:48 24 Q. How about a warning for breathing hazardous 25 fumes? 12:42:58 24 12:43:02 25 A. That's my understanding. Yes, sir. Q. And Leslie intended the Navy to follow the 12:46:49 12:46:51 Page 103 Page 105 27 (Pages 102 to 105) A309C8E MATTHEW WROBEL DECEMBER 1, 2009 1 manuals? 2 A. That's my understanding, sir. 3 Q. And you know of no one who said the Navy barred 4 warnings? 5 A. Not to my knowledge, sir. Q. In fact, we just saw a warning that Leslie 7 issued; is that correct? 8 A. Yes, sir. 9 MR. HUGO: Go ahead. 10 BY MR. GALIHER: 11 Q. Leslie manuals recommended piping from valves 12 be insulated to prevent condensation, did they not? 13 A. For reducing valves, I believe it is, sir, yes. 14 Q. But Leslie manuals recommended that? 15 A. That statement is on -- I've seen it on the 16 reducing valve manuals. Yes, sir. 17 Q. How about pump pressure regulators? 18 A. I don't believe so. 19 MR. GALIHER: Next, I'm going to mark 20 Plaintiffs' Exhibit 16 -21 MS. WAXMAN: 15. 22 MR. GALIHER: I'm going to mark it as 15, not 23 16, a document by Leslie entitled "Engineering Operating 24 Maintenance Data." 25 (Plaintiffs' Exhibit 15 marked.) 12:46:54 12:46:54 12:46:55 12:46:59 1 2 3 4 12:47:00 12:47:01 12:47:05 12:47:06 12:47:06 5 6 7 8 9 12:47:10 10 12:47:43 11 12:47:49 12 12:47:53 13 12:47:56 14 12:47:58 15 12:48:00 16 12:48:02 17 12:48:06 18 12:48:40 19 12:48:42 20 12:48:47 21 12:48:47 22 12:48:50 23 12:49:08 24 12:49:31 25 maintainers of the steam equipment, actually how much insulation should be installed, did they not? A. Not to my knowledge, sir, as far as how much. Q. Okay. I directyour attention to page 000784 entitled "Leslie" -- letterhead -- the trademark at the top saying, "Engineering Data, Steam Flow and Pipes." Do you see that? A. Yes, I do. Q. And with respect to condensation pounds per hour per 100 feet of pipe, what does it indicate how much insulation should be used? A. It states here, "2-inch-thick 85 percent magnesia insulation." Q. Okay. Didn't Leslie supply that same engineering and reference tables in many of their product bulletins? A. I don't know, sir. This is the first time I've ever seen it. MR. GALIHER: Okay. We'll mark as Plaintiffs' Exhibit 16 an excerpt, and I'm going to direct your attention to the reference tables again that indicate how much 85 percent magnesia insulation should be used for condensation. (Plaintiffs' Exhibit 16 marked.) MR. HUGO: Do you have a date for this? 12:52:46 12:52:51 12:52:55 12:52:58 12:53:08 12:53:15 12:53:19 12:53:20 12:53:24 12:53:33 12:53:36 12:53:38 12:53:43 12:53:45 12:54:07 12:54:11 12:54:14 12:54:16 12:54:21 12:54:25 12:54:33 12:54:40 12:54:48 12:55:01 12:55:01 Page 106 Page 108 1 BY MR. GALIHER: 2 Q. There is a Bates number down on the lower 12:49:31 12:49:45 1 2 MR. GALIHER: I don't. That's all I have. Q. Do you see that again where Leslie's supplying 12:55:02 12:55:24 3 right-hand side of the manual. It's superimposed on 12:49:50 3 engineering data and reference tables for their users, 12:55:27 4 something on here, but the three last digits are 683, 12:49:55 4 consumers, and maintainers of how much asbestos 12:55:30 5 000683. Up at the top, it says, "Instructions for Pump 12:49:58 5 insulation should be used in conjunction with prevention 12:55:34 6 Pressure Regulators." It starts on manual for IBIW 7 000682 and goes to 000683. I'm going to direct your 8 attention to paragraph number 7 that's on 000683. 12:50:04 12:50:18 6 7 12:50:32 8 of condensation on lines? MR. HUGO: Objection; misstates the document, calls for hearsay, argumentative. 12:55:38 12:55:40 12:55:42 9 A. Okay. 12:50:42 9 THE WITNESS: It says, "Condensation per 12:55:48 10 Q. Do these Leslie instructions for pump pressure 12:50:52 10 100 feet of covered pipe, inch, pound per hour figured 12:55:50 11 regulators indicate that they should insulate all steam 12:50:56 11 for 2-inch thickness of 85 percent magnesia insulation." 12:55:56 12 lines to minimize condensation losses? 12:51:04 12 BY MR. GALIHER: 12:56:01 13 A. Yes, sir, it does. I never saw it before. 12:51:07 13 Q. What does that indicate to you? 12:56:02 14 Q. And directing your attention to Bates number 12:51:19 14 A. It's a recommendation for the insulation to be 12:56:03 15 000761, "Instructions for Air and Steam Whistles" -- 12:51:28 15 used. 12:56:25 16 A. I'm at 000761, sir. 17 Q. Where it says, "steam whistles" -- 12:52:03 16 12:52:04 17 Q. Okay. And who is giving that recommendation? A. Well, this appears to be a Leslie document, 12:56:27 12:56:30 18 A. Yes, sir. 12:52:07 18 sir. 12:56:33 19 Q. -- does it advise users for the installation 12:52:08 19 Q. And who are they giving it to? 20 and operation and maintenance on whether piping should 12:52:13 20 A. The document doesn't state who it's going to. 21 be insulated, paragraph 1, under steam whistles? 12:52:18 21 It's a Leslie document. 12:56:34 12:56:36 12:56:50 22 A. It says, "All piping must be well insulated and 23 where exposed to outside conditions, doubly insulated." 24 Q. Okay. And Leslie engineering supplied 12:52:28 22 12:52:30 23 12:52:33 24 Q. Okay. And whatis 85 percent magnesia insulation? A. I have no idea, sir. 12:56:52 12:56:58 12:56:58 25 engineering data for the users, the installers, and the 12:52:41 25 Q. You have no idea? 12:56:59 Page 107 Page 109 28 (Pages 106 to 109) A309C8E MATTHEW WROBEL DECEMBER 1, 2009 A. No, sir. I don't know. 12 :57 :0 0 1 Q.

You knew previously though that steam piping on Navy ships got insulated, and Leslie knew the piping and valves were going to be get insulated; is that correct? 13:04:05 13:04:09 13:04:12 19 MR. GALIHER: Okay. 12 :59 :2 5 19 A. I will say, yes, sir, we knew they were 13:04:16 20 (Discussion off the record.) 13:00:19 20 insulated. 13:04:21 21 MR. GALIHER: Next, I'll mark as Exhibit 18 22 instructions for installation, operation, and 13 :00:2 4 21 13:00:30 22 Q. And Leslie knew at the time they sold the Leslie valves, that the United States -- they knew that 13:04:21 13:04:24 23 maintenance of Leslie pressure reducing valves. 13:00:33 23 at the time they sold the Leslie valves to the United 13:04:27 24 (Plaintiffs' Exhibit 18 marked.) 13:01:09 24 States Navy; is that correct? 13:04:29 25 BY MR. GALIHER: 13:01:09 25 A. To the best of my knowledge, yes, sir. 13:04:30 Page 111 Page 113 29 (Pages 110 to 113) A309C8E MATTHEW WROBEL DECEMBER 1, 2009 1 A.

Yes, sir. 13 :12:4 4 13:12:47 13:12:48 2 3 4 MR. HUGO: Which interrogatory are you going to refer to? MR. GALIHER: Question or -- answer 7(b) on 13:16:09 13:16:11 13:16:12 5 Q. And Leslie believes its valves are the best 13:12:49 5 page 8 at the bottom. 13:16:19 6 because of their superior design and manufacture; is 13:12:55 6 MR. HUGO: Thanks. 13:16:21 7 that correct? 8 A. Yes, sir. 13:12:58 13:12:58 7 8 MR. GALIHER: I take it back. My last question was on page 9. It was at the end of answer 8. I 13:16:33 13:16:35 9 Q. And Leslie sent tech reps and has given a class 13:12:58 9 misspoke. I'll ask the last sentence. 13:16:40 10 to the Navy on repair of valves; is that correct? 11 A. Yes, sir, we did. 12 Q. Leslie taught courses for sailors on how to 13:13:04 10 13:13:08 11 13:13:09 12 MR. HUGO: Just for the record, it is an answer based upon information and belief. Interrogatories are prepared with the assistance of counsel. You can just 13:17:15 13:17:19 13:17:22 13 repair their valves; is that correct? 13:13:14 13 read 8 there. 13:17:24 14 A. Yes, sir, we did. 13:13:15 14 BY MR. GALIHER: 13:17:24 15 Q. Earlier we talked about other manufacturers of 13:13:17 15 Q. You can read the whole question and answer. 13:17:29 16 gasket materials that were installed in Leslie products. 13:13:34 16 I'm going to renew my question, which is going to focus 13:17:31 17 I recall discussing Johns Manville and Raybestos 13:13:42 17 on the last full sentence in that paragraph of answer. 13:17:34 18 Manhattan. 13 :13:4 6 18 (Brief pause in proceedings.) 13:17:42 19 Do you recall that? 13:13:48 19 THE WITNESS: Yes, sir. 20 A. Yes, sir. 13:13:49 20 MR. GALIHER: I will object to counsel's 21 Q. Are you aware of what percentage of asbestos 13:13:50 21 speaking objection trying to coach his witness. 13:17:44 13:18:02 13:18:03 22 was contained in those gaskets or packing that Leslie 13:13:53 22 Q. What was the basis for your answering this 13:18:07 23 incorporated into their products? 24 A. No, I am not, sir. 25 Q. Would it surprise you if they were 70 or 80 or 13:13:58 23 13:14:00 24 13:14:01 25 question having to do with the amounts of asbestos in the gaskets and packing as small and insignificant? A. Small because the components are very, very 13:18:09 13:18:13 13:18:17 Page 118 Page 120 1 85 percent asbestos? 2 MR. HUGO: Objection; irrelevant, calls for 3 speculation, lacks foundation. Go ahead. 13 :14:0 6 13 :14:0 9 13:14:11 2 3 tiny, and we are not talking about large components, and part of it is asbestos. Okay? Q. And when you gave this answer, you had no clue 13:18:25 13:18:29 13:18:34 4 THE WITNESS: I wouldn't be surprised or not 13:14:13 4 as to how much asbestos was in that packing, or how much 13:18:36 5 surprised. I don't know. BY MR. GALIHER: 7 Q. You incorporated that -- Leslie incorporated 13:14:17 13:14:18 13:14:19 5 7 asbestos was in that gasket; is that correct? A. Percentagewise, no, sir. I'm saying the size of the component itself. 13:18:41 13:18:43 13:18:45 8 those materials into their products, and as you sit here 13:14:21 Q. That allowed you to say insignificant amount? 13:18:46 9 today, you don't know what percentage of asbestos those 13:14:25 9 A. Well, if I'm talking about packing like this in 10 gaskets and packing had; is that correct? 13:14:27 10 comparison to, you know, 50 tons of asbestos on a 11 MR. HUGO: Objection; argumentative, asked and 13:14:29 11 destroyer or something like that, to me, that seemed to 13:18:55 13:18:59 13:19:03 12 answered. 13:14:32 12 be insignificant. 13:19:06 13 THE WITNESS: I do not know, sir. 14 BY MR. GALIHER: 15 Q. Okay. But yousigned interrogatories in Hawaii 13:14:32 13 13:14:34 14 13:14:34 15 Q. With respect to how much asbestos it takes to cause mesothelioma, do you know what is significant and what is not? 13:19:07 13:19:11 13:19:15 16 that said that Leslie incorporated component parts, such 13:14:39 16 A. No, sir, I do not. 13:19:15 17 as in gaskets and packing, that contained small, 13:14:44 17 Q. Okay. Yet, in your answer you said this was an 13:19:17 18 insignificant amounts of asbestos; is that correct? 19 MR. HUGO: Objection; calls for speculation, 20 lacks foundation. If you want to see whatever he is 13:14:49 18 13:14:53 19 13 :14:5 6 20 insignificant amount that was in a component part that Leslie had in its product; is that correct? MR.

Going on to page 11, question 10, the answer 13:19:58 10 A. Did I personally tell them? 13:22:04 11 appears at the bottom of this page discussing OSHA. 12 Do you see that? 13 A. Oh, yes, sir. 13:20:12 11 13:20:20 12 13:20:20 13 Q. Yes. A. No, sir. I didn't know that. MR. HUGO: It's 1:20. At some point, we are 13:22:07 13:22:07 13:22:14 14 Q. As far as Leslie complied with all applicable 13:20:23 14 going to need to take another break and probably do a 13:22:16 15 state and federal statutes, including OSHA, did you 16 supply that information? 17 A.

In fact, in your earlier testimony today, you 13:20:38 18 areas where gaskets were installed in the Leslie 13:22:49 19 said you had no idea when OSHA came into being; is that 13:20:40 19 equipment in the 1960s and the 1970s? 13:22:55 20 correct? 21 A. I didn't know the exact date. No, sir. 13:20:44 20 13:20:44 21 A. Not to my knowledge, sir. Q. Okay. So as far as the Leslie employees were 13:22:58 13:22:59 22 Q. 1972. As you sit here today, do you know OSHA 13:20:46 22 concerned, manufacturing their product, including 13:23:07 23 came into being in 1972? 13:20:52 23 yourself, or inspecting those products, working with 13:23:11 24 A. Yes, sir. From that document you showed me, I 25 do. 13:20:53 24 13:20:56 25 asbestos-containing gaskets and packing was no different than working with anything innocuous just like paper or 13:23:15 13:23:19 Page 122 Page 124 1 Q. Do you know that OSHA had standards that came 2 into existence in 1972 dealing with asbestos? 13:20:56 13:21:00 1 2 flour or something like that? A. When I inspected the gaskets, I inspected them 13:23:25 13:23:27 3 A. If it was part of that document, I'll answer 13:21:03 3 like any other component part. There was no warnings on 13:23:29 4 yes. 13:21:10 4 them from anybody. 13:23:32 5 Q. Okay. 13:21:11 5 Q. Okay. Didyoueverhaveto cut them or shape 13:23:33 6 A. Okay. 13:21:12 6 them, the gaskets? 13:23:37 7 Q. I think you testified earlier that when you 13:21:12 7 A. No, sir. The gasket, when they come in, they 13:23:39 8 were working on the floor at the factory in the 1970s, 13:21:15 8 are complete. You don't have to do anything to them 13:23:43 9 you had no clue -- you had no idea that asbestos was 13:21:20 9 except inserting them in the valve. 13:23:46 10 hazardous; is that correct? 13:21:22 10 Q. After your products were tested and you took 13:23:48 11 A. That is correct, sir. 13:21:23 11 them apart, did you actually disassemble them? 13:23:50 12 Q. Nor did the 180 other people that worked under 13:21:25 12 A. Yes, sir, I did. 13:23:52 13 you; is that correct? 13:21:30 13 Q. Okay. Did you ever have to use wire brushes or 13:23:52 14 MR. HUGO: Objection; argumentative, lacks 13:21:31 14 scrape gaskets? 13:23:56 15 foundation, calls for speculation. 13:21:33 15 A. No, sir, I haven't. 13:23:57 16 THE WITNESS: Not to my knowledge, sir. 13:21:34 16 Q. Did you have any older valves of Leslie 13:23:58 17 BY MR. GALIHER: 13:21:35 17 products that had been used on steam lines for a long 13:24:02 18 Q. Okay. You certainly didn't tell them that the 13:21:35 18 time where it required the use of wire brushes or 19 products that contained asbestos were hazardous to their 13:21:38 19 scraping to get gaskets or packing out? 13:24:05 13:24:08 20 health, that were incorporated into the Leslie products; 13:21:43 20 A. I've never used a wire brush to scrape gaskets. 13:24:10 21 is that correct? 13:21:46 21 Q. How about gasket hooks? Have you ever used 13:24:14 22 MR. HUGO: Objection; argumentative, assumes 13:21:46 22 those to get -- I mean packing hooks to get packing out 13:24:16 23 facts. Go ahead. 13:21:48 23 of gaskets or valve systems? 13:24:20 24 THE WITNESS: You are saying, did I tell them 13:21:49 24 A. When I was working in service, when we were in 13:24:22 25 that the products we put in were hazardous -- 13:21:52 25 Parsippany, if you went on the road, a lot of times you 13:24:30 Page 123 Page 125 32 (Pages 122 to 125) A309C8E MATTHEW WROBEL DECEMBER 1, 2009 1 A. If you look at that drawing and look at the 2 name plate that we are referring, it says, "Leslie 3 Tyfon." 4 Q. Okay. Let me go back. Okay. I understand now 5 what you are saying. I understand that. I just was looking for something broader that had to do with steam 7 whistles. I didn't realize it was -- is it a brand 8 name? How would you identify that? 9 A. The story that I get -- okay -- through history 10 is that somewhere in the 1930s, there was --1 believe 11 the company name was Kockum in Sweden. Leslie bought 12 that product line, and they called it Tyfon. 13 Q. Tyfon? 14 A. Yeah. T-y-f-o-n. It was Kockum/Tyfon, if I 15 remember correctly. So when Leslie bought the product 16 line and started making the steam whistle, it turned 17 into a Leslie Tyfon. 18 Q. Okay. That's fine. 19 A. What does Tyfon mean? I have no idea, sir. 20 Q. There is no other type of whistle named Tyfon? 21 If it's a Tyfon, it's a Leslie? I don't understand that 22 part. 23 A. Yeah. When you talk about a Tyfon whistle, I 24 think if you go way back to maybe early, early, before 25 Leslie bought it, there may be some literature. If you 13:46:58 13:47:01 13:47:05 13:47:05 1 2 3 4 13:47:07 13:47:09 13:47:13 13:47:16 13:47:19 5 7 8 9 13:47:24 10 13:47:30 11 13:47:35 12 13:47:35 13 13:47:42 14 13:47:43 15 13:47:46 16 13:47:49 17 13:47:49 18 13:47:53 19 13:47:54 20 13:47:59 21 13:48:01 22 13:48:01 23 13:48:05 24 13:48:07 25 right after we moved to Parsippany. I remember two of those large horn bodies up on a vertical tower lathe. The main reason for it is the Navy went away from steam-powered service vessels except for -- the only ones left, I think, are carriers. Q. The last document, Exhibit 20, "December 1957," a publication, "Marine Engineering Log." On page 126 -I just have the cover page. On 126, I'm going to direct your attention to the photograph in the lower right-hand corner and see if you can identify those gentlemen for us. (Plaintiffs' Exhibit 20 marked.) THEWITNESS: Yes,Ican,sir. BY MR. GALIHER: Q. Okay. Can you identify those two people for us? A. The younger gentleman on the left is John S. Leslie, grandson of the founder. The gentleman on the right, which kind of looks like me, is S. Inglis Leslie, which we called Pop Leslie. Q. John S., he is the one we previously identified in the American Society of Mechanical Engineers? A. Yes, sir. MR. GALIHER: Okay. Subject to an agreement on stipulation on the foundation of documents, that's all 13:49:16 13:49:20 13:49:24 13:49:30 13:49:34 13:49:38 13:49:49 13:49:55 13:50:00 13:50:03 13:50:07 13:50:07 13:50:29 13:50:31 13:50:31 13:50:33 13:50:33 13:50:37 13:50:43 13:50:48 13:50:50 13:50:53 13:50:58 13:51:02 13:51:05 Page 130 Page 132 1 look in history somewhere, there might a Kockum/Tyfon. 13:48:09 1 the questions I have, and -- I'm sorry? 13:51:06 2 THE COURT REPORTER: How do you spell Kockum? 13:48:09 2 (Discussion off the record.) 13:51:24 3 THEWITNESS: WithaK. 13:48:18 3 MR. GALIHER: I apologize. 13:51:24 4 BY MR. GALIHER: 5 Q. Where did it come from, Kockum? 6 A. Sweden. 13:48:18 4 13:48:20 5 13:48:21 6 Q. On the Leslie Lubrisoft asbestos packing, what were the years that it was first sold, and when was it last sold when it contained asbestos, and how much 13:51:30 13:51:34 13:51:37 7 Q. Sweden. Okay. 13:48:21 7 asbestos did it contain? 13:51:40 8 A. And so the story -9 Q. They liked the sound of that whistle, so they 10 bought it. 11 A. The story that I got -- and this is just 13:48:21 8 13:48:24 9 13:48:26 10 13:48:26 11 A. It's a three-part question. Q. All having to do with Leslie Lubrisoft asbestos packing. A. I believe it was sometime in the early '50s or 13:51:44 13:51:45 13:51:49 13:51:50 12 hearsay over 40 years -- is that the Navy came to Leslie 13 and said, "Hey, you know, we need a steam whistle. Why 13:48:27 12 13:48:30 13 maybe late '40s through late '80s, somewhere, maybe early '90s for the Navy. 13:51:54 13:52:05 14 don't you buy the product line," or something. 13:48:32 14 Q. Sosomewhere 35,40 years? 13:52:08 15 Q. Oh, okay. 16 A. Something like that. 17 Q. And you don't know the year of that? 18 A. I believe it was sometime in the `30s. 19 Q. Okay. And do theystillsell thatwhistle 13:48:34 15 13:48:35 16 13:48:36 17 13:48:38 18 13:48:41 19 A. Whatever that math works out to. Q. And what was the asbestos percentage? A. I have no idea, sir. MR. GALIHER: That's all the questions I have, but for what might be in the six-inch pile of documents 13:52:11 13:52:15 13:52:17 13:52:23 13:52:24 20 line? 21 A. No, sir, we don't. We don't make the whistle 22 anymore. 23 Q. When did they quit making that whistle? 13:48:45 20 13:48:45 21 13:48:50 22 13:48:50 23 that my colleague has down there that we've offered a stipulation to the foundation for. Although if I have to go into the foundation, I want to do everything else. MR. HUGO: I have some questions. While he is 13:52:29 13:52:33 13:52:36 13:52:40 24 A. The last time I remember seeing one of those 25 whistles was maybe -- it was in the mid- to late '80s, 13:48:54 24 13:48:58 25 looking at these documents, let me ask mine, and then hopefully we'll come to an agreement with regard to 13:52:42 13:52:43 Page 131 Page 133 34 (Pages 130 to 133) A309C8E MATTHEW WROBEL DECEMBER 1, 2009 1 those documents. 13:52:47 1 A.

Until 1986. 13:53:26 18 quantify the amount of the asbestos-containing gasket or 14:00:29 19 Q. Between 1968 and 1986, were you present in the 13:53:29 19 packing which would be encapsulated in a Leslie product, 14:00:36 20 plant on a regular basis? 13:53:36 20 like a valve? 14:00:40 21 A. Yes, sir. 13:53:38 21 A. Yes, I have. 14:00:41 22 Q. Did you come to know whether or not OSHA 13:53:40 22 Q. What have you done to determine the amount 14:00:42 23 inspected that plant? 24 MR. GALIHER: I object to the form of the 25 question as leading. 13:53:45 23 13:53:47 24 13:53:49 25 either by weight or volume of the actual asbestos-containing portion of, for example, a copper-jacketed gasket or other type of gasket or 14:00:45 14:00:49 14:00:53 Page 134 Page 136 THE WITNESS: Yes, sir. I was in the plant and 2 knew that OSHA was doing inspections in the plant. 3 Excuse me for a second. I'm really uncomfortable with 13:53:55 1 13 :53 :5 8 2 13:54:03 3 4 you over here. Could you maybe sit over or somewhere 13:54:05 4 5 where I can look at you? 13:54:12 5 MR. HUGO: Yes. Let's take a break for a 7 second so we can rewire. 13:54:12 13:54:14 6 7 THEVIDEOGRAPHER: Offtherecord. Thetimeon 13:54:16 8 9 the screen is 1:54. 13:54:17 9 10 (Brief pause in proceedings.) 11 THE VIDEOGRAPHER: We are now back on the 13:58:30 10 13:58:30 11 12 record. The time on the screen is 1:59. 13:59:00 12 13 BY MR. HUGO: 13:59:04 13 14 Q. Thank you, Mr. Wrobel. When we took a short 15 break, I was asking you about OSHA and specifically the 13:59:05 14 13:59:06 15 16 Parsippany plant. 13:59:11 16 17 Were you physically present when you could 13:59:12 17 18 actually observe OSHA inspectors present in the Leslie 19 plant? 20 A. I've seen OSHA inspectors in the Parsippany 13:59:14 18 13:59:19 19 13:59:19 20 21 plant. Yes, sir. 13:59:22 21 22 Q. Have you seen them actually present during the 13:59:23 22 23 time when valve assembly was in progress, which included 13:59:25 23 24 the installation or use of asbestos-containing gaskets 13:59:29 24 25 and packing? 13:59:34 25 Page 135 packing? MR. GALIHER: I object to the form of the question; foundation. THE WITNESS: What I've done is taken -- an example would be a spiral round gasket. Okay? And I took apart numerous -- several of them and actually weighed the difference between the two, which comes to about roughly -- of the spiral round gasket -- about 15 -- if my memory serves me right, it's about 15 percent of the total weight of the gasket, and then I calculated -- THE VIDEOGRAPHER: Whoever is on the phone, can they mute? MS. SHELDON: I am mute. BY MR. HUGO: Q. Your answer was interrupted, but let me follow up. You were talking about disassembling a spiral round gasket. For the benefit of the jury who may have not seen or heard a description of it yet, other than the asbestos portion of the gasket, what is that gasket comprised of in terms of materials? A. It's a metallic -- common stainless steel is one of them. There's some others, but most of the time it's stainless steel. And it's like a stainless steel 14:00:58 14:00:58 14:01:00 14:01:01 14:01:05 14:01:13 14:01:20 14:01:24 14:01:29 14:01:32 14:01:32 14:01:42 14:01:45 14:01:49 14:01:49 14:01:50 14:01:52 14:01:57 14:01:58 14:02:01 14:02:02 14:02:05 14:02:07 14:02:13 14:02:17 Page 137 35 (Pages 134 to 137) A309C8E MATTHEW WROBEL DECEMBER 1, 2009 1 ribbon, and also the fillers is like a ribbon. And it's 14:02:20 1 the portion of the gasket which can contain some 2 wrapped and then it's spot welded on the inside to keep 3 it together. And I've taken those apart and weighed 4 them. I've taken a copper-jacketed gasket completely 14 :0 2 :2 4 2 14:02:28 3 14:02:32 4 percentage of asbestos, chrysotile asbestos, correct? A. Yes, sir. MR. GALIHER: I object to the form of the 5 apart and weighed it and calculated what the weight of 14:02:36 5 question; leading. 6 the filler material is inside the encapsulated copper, 14:02:42 6 THE WITNESS: And proportionally, as they got 7 what it is per square inch. And I actually worked up a 14:02:46 7 bigger, it would go up. 8 formula where I could calculate -- take a gasket, plug 14:02:52 8 BY MR. HUGO: 9 in the outer diameter, the inner diameter and would give 14:02:58 9 Q. So -- and I understand -- 10 me the weight of the gasket complete, and then it would 11 give me the weight of the filler by itself. 12 Q. You referred to the fact that a destroyer from 14:03:03 10 14:03:07 11 14:03:10 12 A. That's just one. Q. It's an estimate. But if you are going to now, based on your 44 years of training and experience with 13 the United States Navy may have 50 tons of asbestos on 14:03:18 13 Leslie, and the familiarity of its products, going to 14 it. 15 How many Leslie productswould be on a typical 16 destroyer, if you can give me a rough average. 14:03:18 14 14:03:22 15 14:03:25 16 give it your rough estimate -- you can give me a range of the total weight of the asbestos-containing components of all of the Leslie valves that could be 17 A. This is ballpark. 14:03:35 17 present on a typical destroyer -- what would the range 18 Q. Yes, ballpark. 14:03:36 18 be? 19 A. 80. 20 Q. And-21 A. That's total products. 14:03:39 19 14:03:39 20 14:03:43 21 MR. GALIHER: I object to the form of the question; foundation. THE WITNESS: The lower range for that would be 22 Q. Are all of those products asbestos-containing? 14:03:43 22 point 01, and my estimate of the higher one would be -- 23 By that, I mean do all of those products have some sort 14:03:46 23 for a fairly large, it might be 1.2, 1.5 ounces. This 24 of an asbestos material inside of them, such as packing 14:03:49 24 is by memory. And it varies depending on -- the 25 or gaskets? 14:03:53 25 copper-jacketed gaskets have a higher ID. The spiral CTl O O 14 14 :05:13 14 :05:17 14 :05:18 14 :05:19 14 :05:20 14 :05:22 14 :05:25 14 :05:25 14 :05:26 14 :05:28 14 :05:30 14 :05:33 14 :05:36 14 :05:39 14 :05:42 14 :05:46 14 :05:50 14 :05:50 14 :05:52 14 :05:55 14 :05:57 14 :06:10 14 :06:18 14 :06:25 Page 138 Page 140 1 A. Not everything. 14:03: 54 1 round gaskets have less. 14 06:32 2 Q. Okay. So out of the -- and I understand it's 14:03: 55 2 BY MR. HUGO: 14 06:32 3 an estimate, but out of those products that would have 14:03:59 3 4 contained some asbestos component, such as packing or 14:04:04 4 5 gaskets, how much total weight of asbestos would be 14:04:08 5 Q. But compared to the 50 tons of asbestos, you are talking about point 01 ounce present in that particular gasket? 14 06:34 14 06:36 14 06:43 present in those Leslie products? 14:04:13 6 A. For that particular gasket. 14 06:44 7 MR. GALIHER: I object to the form of the 8 question; foundation. 9 THE WITNESS: It depends on the size of the 14:04:15 14:04:16 14:04:17 7 8 9 MR. GALIHER: I object to the form of the question. It's leading. THE WITNESS: For the smaller gasket, that's 14 06:46 14 06:47 14 06:48 10 gasket. A gasket -- that's just from memory. You know, 14:04:19 10 the numbers I remember. 14 06:50 11 I'm trying to remember. 12 BY MR. HUGO: 13 Q. I understand. 14:04:28 11 14:04:30 12 14:04:30 13 BY MR. HUGO: Q. So in total for perhaps 80 Leslie products, we are talking less than a pound or a pound or two of 14 06:51 14 06:52 14 06:56 14 A. Okay. One gasket, a very small one that was 14:04:30 14 asbestos -- 14 06:59 15 used on a strainer attached to a small reducing valve, 14:04:35 15 MR. GALIHER: I object to the form of the 14 06:59 16 the diameter being roughly one inch in diameter with 14:04:41 16 question as leading, lacks foundation. 14 07:01 17 probably a three-quarter-inch hole. The ID was to 18 record it. 14:04:46 17 14:04:46 18 BY MR. HUGO: Q. -- containing filler, correct? 14 07:03 14 07:04 19 Q. ID is inner diameter? 14:04:46 19 MR. GALIHER: I object to the form of the 14 07:08 20 A. Inner diameter. 14:04:54 20 question. It's leading. 14 07:10 21 Q. So outside diameter about an inch? 14:04:54 21 THE WITNESS: It's really hard to give you an 14 07:11 22 A. The weight of the total gasket was point one 14:04:58 22 answer. I really have to do some math because you can't 14 07:12 23 ounce -- I'm sorry -- point one ounce. The weight of 14:05:03 23 just take the one small one. You'd have to take a 14 07:20 24 the filler was point 01 ounce. 14:05:04 24 range, an average. Okay? But even if you said the 14 07:24 25 Q. And when you talk about filler, that would be 14:05:07 25 filler -- if you just struck point 5 ounces as an 14 07:28 Page 139 Page 141 36 (Pages 138 to 141) A309C8E MATTHEW WROBEL DECEMBER 1, 2009 1 average for the filler of gaskets and material, and on 14:07:36 1 A. You know, when I first started with Leslie, 2 an average two gaskets per valve, you can do the math. 3 And I'm really doing a lot of averages. 4 BY MR. HUGO: 14:07:40 2 14:07:44 3 14:07:48 4 everybody was very proud of it, that we supplied valves to the United States Navy. And when I got involved in the inspection part of it, there were a lot of times 5 Q. Understood. But we are not talking about tons 14:07:48 5 that I was told, because I was the young kid on the 6 -- 14:07:51 6 block, "This goes in that kind ofvalve. Make sure it's 7 A. Oh, no, sir. 14:07:51 7 right." 8 Q. You were asked some questions about piping and 14:07:52 8 Q. Did you become personally involved in such 9 good piping practice. 14:07:58 9 contracts at various stages of development, including 10 Do you agree that avoiding condensation is good 11 piping practice? 12 A. Yes, sir, I do. 13 Q. And you were shown some documents indicating 14:07:59 10 14:08:03 11 14:08:04 12 14:08:05 13 production, testing, and acceptance by the United States Navy? A. Yes, sir. When I was in quality assurance, I worked with the Navy inspector when a valve was being 14 that the piping to and from a product, such as a valve, 15 should be insulated, correct? 16 A. Yes. 17 Q. Let's talk about the valve itself. 14:08:08 14 14:08:14 15 14:08:15 16 14:08:19 17 developed. And I went through, you know, from knowing that we got the contract, that I actually contacted the Navy inspector, and I had to sit with him, go through the process. He established hold and witness points 18 Did Leslie ever recommend that its product, the 14:08:22 18 through the processes. 19 valve, be externally insulated with asbestos insulation 20 or any other type of insulation? 21 A. I've never seen any documents that said that. 14:08:25 19 14:08:29 20 14:08:31 21 Q. Would you describe -- first of all, what is a Navy inspector? A. We called him a Navy inspector. It was a 22 Q. With regard to a strainer, has Leslie ever 14:08:34 22 carry-over from, I guess, World War II. In fact, the 23 recommended a strainer be externally insulated with 24 asbestos-containing insulation? 25 A. I've never seen any documents that stated that. 14:08:39 23 14:08:43 24 14:08:45 25 first guy that I knew when I first started there that I worked with -- because I was young and I could pick up things and he couldn't. 14:10:05 14:10:19 14:10:22 14:10:25 14:10:27 14:10:30 14:10:33 14:10:33 14:10:37 14:10:40 14:10:43 14:10:44 14:10:47 14:10:54 14:11:00 14:11:03 14:11:08 14:11:12 14:11:13 14:11:15 14:11:16 14:11:21 14:11:23 14:11:26 14:11:30 Page 142 Page 144 1 Q. With regard to the whistle, did Leslie ever 14:08:47 1 It's a government representative that ensures 2 recommend that a whistle should be externally insulated 14 :08:51 2 that Leslie meets the contract requirements, that they 14:11:3 2 14 :11:3 6 3 with asbestos-containing insulation? 14:08:55 3 get to produce equipment for the Navy. 14:11:41 4 A. I've never seen a document that said that. 14:08:57 4 Q. Where would that government inspector be 14:11:43 5 Q. You were aboard a ship called the America where 14:09:00 5 located? 14:11:45 you observed a Leslie pressure regulator that had been 7 externally insulated, correct? 14:09:06 14:09:11 6 7 A. He is in an office at Leslie. Q. Explain for the members of the jury what it 14:11:46 14:11:48 8 A. Yes, sir. 14:09:13 8 means a government inspector has an office at Leslie? 14:11:50 9 Q. Did you instruct the Navy to externally 14:09:13 9 How did that come about? 14:11:54 10 insulate the Leslie pressure regulator? 14:09:16 10 A. We are mandated to provide him an office so he 14:11:55 11 A. No, sir. 14:09:18 11 can perform his function. 14:12:00 12 Q. Did the Navy do that on their own? 14:09:19 12 Q. A physical office? 14:12:01 13 MR. GALIHER: I object to the form of the 14:09:24 13 A. A physical office. 14:12:02 14 question. It calls for speculation. 14:09:26 14 Q. And heactually works out ofthatofficeat 14:12:03 15 THE WITNESS: Maybe the shipyard did it. 14:09:28 15 Leslie's facility? 14:12:05 16 BY MR. HUGO: 14:09:36 16 A. Yeah. He comes to Leslie every day, and he 14:12:06 17 Q. During the course of your 44 years at Leslie, 14:09:36 17 works at Leslie. On occasion, they also -- that's where 14:12:09 18 did you become aware ofwhether Leslie furnished and 19 fabricated valves and related equipment specifically for 14:09:40 18 14:09:46 19 he is stationed, in Leslie. Depending on the period of time, I've known him to do Leslie only, and I've known 14:12:14 14:12:22 20 United States Navy vessels under contract between Leslie 14:09:50 20 him to have Leslie, plus they might do other contracts 14:12:25 21 and the United States Navy Department? 14:09:53 21 in plants that are similar. But kind of a resident or 14:12:29 22 A. Yes, we did. 14:09:56 22 semi-resident. 14:12:33 23 Q. And how did you become aware that that existed? 14:09:57 23 Q. You used the term "hold/witness points"; is 14:12:34 24 A. That we made valves for the Navy? 14:10:02 24 that correct? 14:12:37 25 Q. Yes. 14:10:04 25 A. Yes, sir. 14:12:37 Page 143 Page 145 37 (Pages 142 to 145) A309C8E MATTHEW WROBEL DECEMBER 1, 2009 1 Q. What is a hold/witness point or points? 2 A. Well, let's say we were making this glass for 3 the Navy, to Navy specifications. Okay? And in the 4 contract, it says it would be source inspected by the 14:12:38 1 14:12:40 2 14:12:47 3 14:12:53 4 A. But there is a valve. It's made ofsteel. Okay? And initially, you have to put it in a form that conforms to a drawing. And then when that casting comes in, it's inspected to make sure it meets the casting 14:15:30 14:15:32 14:15:36 14:15:41 5 Navy inspector. You contact the Navy inspector, and you 14:12:58 5 drawing, and then it's machined into a finished machine 14:15:44 6 show him the process, especially on newer products that 14:13:03 6 component. 7 you are developing. And you show him the actual process 14:13:07 7 Q. So the inspection can actually begin at the 8 from procurement of each component through machining of 14:13:10 8 sourcing of the very materials to make the finished 14:15:48 14:15:48 14:15:50 9 each component, any testing that has to be done, any 14:13:16 9 product. In this case, we are talking about a valve, 14:15:54 10 nondestructive examination, like liquid penetrant 11 examination. 12 Q. Slow down a little bit and say that one more 14:13:17 10 14:13:27 11 14:13:27 12 correct? A. Yes, sir. Q. And would that inspection and sourcing of 14:15:56 14:15:57 14:15:58 13 time for us. 14:13:27 13 materials include component parts, such as packing and 14:16:00 14 THE COURT REPORTER: Liquid what? 15 THE WITNESS: Liquid penetrant examination. 16 BY MR. HUGO: 14:13:27 14 14:13:27 15 14:13:27 16 gaskets? A. Normally, source inspection by our resident was not -- especially ifyou are getting somebody who is 14:16:03 14:16:06 14:16:15 17 Q. What does that mean? 14:13:28 17 buying it from a QPL, I would assume, if they were 14:16:19 18 A. It's a nondestructive test that you perform on 14:13:29 18 making packing and gaskets to no specs, that they had a 14:16:23 19 certain surfaces that are required by mil spec to see if 20 there's any cracks or discontinuities on a particular 21 surface of an area. Mandatory inspection, very, very 14:13:32 19 14:13:37 20 14:13:40 21 similar individual there just because of the fact they are on a QPL. Q. Okay. So we got two more terms we need to 14:16:27 14:16:30 14:16:31 22 common on almost every one that he gets involved in. He 14:13:45 22 define. One is mil spec. Is that shorthand for another 14:16:33 23 has to witness test of the valves. 24 So in the process that's set up by 25 manufacturing engineering, quality would actually go to 14:13:49 23 14:13:52 24 14:13:55 25 term? A. It's a military specification. Q. Tell the members of the jury what a military 14:16:36 14:16:37 14:16:40 Page 146 Page 148 1 them and say, "Okay. This is the process for this 2 particular job. The inspector wants to witness 14:13:5 7 14 :14:0 0 1 2 specification is. A. It's a document which defines a particular 14 :16 :4 2 14 :16 :4 2 3 dimensional inspection at this point." He might be 4 going out for a heat treat operation. It would be a 14:14:05 3 14:14:09 4 product. It could be in various stages. It could be in a component. There can be a military specification for 14:16:46 14:16:50 5 mechanical type part. Coming back, he might want to 14:14:12 5 glasses. There can be a military specification -- if 14:16:54 6 witness hardness testing or any tests that were done. A 14:14:15 the government wrote them for castings. There is a 7 very good example would be for procuring castings for 14:14:20 7 military specification for valves, and how to build that 14:16:57 14:17:02 8 part of the valve body, and the mil spec requires that 14:14:23 8 particular valve, and what's required if you are going 14:17:05 9 they be magnetic particle tested and X-rayed. He 14:14:26 9 to get that valve and sell it and stipulate that it is 14:17:08 10 actually sends a letter of delegation to the government 14:14:29 10 in accordance with that military specification. 14:17:12 11 inspector at the foundry, and that guy actually is there 12 at the foundry when the casting gets poured. Now, if 14:14:32 11 14:14:36 12 Q. Was Leslie obligated to comply with military specifications, which covered all specific components of 14:17:14 14:17:19 13 there's cleaning when it gets X-rayed, he has to sign 14:14:39 13 the valves and related equipment, including the 14:17:22 14 off on the film that comes into us. He reviews the film 14:14:41 14 accessories, the subcomponents, such as packing and 14:17:25 15 against the components. He can set a point anywhere in 14:14:46 15 gaskets, and other materials which were necessary to 14:17:28 16 the production process to witness or inspect. 14:14:49 16 produce a Leslie product? 14:17:32 17 Q. I'm going to define a few terms. Casting, 14:14:51 17 A. Yes, sir. It's called out right in the 14:17:34 18 explain for the members the jury what a casting is. 14:14:54 18 contract. 19 A. A casting is a form of molding metal, for 14:14:57 19 Q. Could Leslie deviate from that and choose, for 14:17:37 14:17:38 20 example. The best example I can give you for a layman 14:15:10 20 example, a type of packing that was not approved by 14:17:42 21 is, if you've ever seen anybody mold lead into sinkers, 14:15:16 21 military specification? 14:17:46 22 you have a mold. You heat the lead. It turns molten. 14:15:24 22 A. You have to comply with the requirements and 14:17:46 23 The term is molding. You pour it in the mold. It 14:15:25 23 the materials that are listed in that specification. 14:17:51 24 cools. You open it up. You got a fish and sinker. 25 Q. Okay. So -- 14:15:26 24 14:15:26 25 Q. Now, you also mentioned a term called, or at least an abbreviation, QPL. Can you tell the members of 14:17:53 14:17:57 Page 147 Page 149 38 (Pages 146 to 149) A309C8E MATTHEW WROBEL DECEMBER 1, 2009 1 the jury what a QPL is? 14:18: 03 1 documents and ANSI. It can vary, depending on the 14 :21:2 6 2 A. It's qualified products list. 3 Q. And what does that mean in lay terms? 4 A. There is a government list if you were looking 14:18: 04 2 14:18:09 3 14:18:11 4 product. Q. Asa specific example, it lists gaskets, metallic asbestos spiral round MILG 21032, correct? 14 :21:3 3 14:21:33 14:21:37 5 for products, and today it's on the internet. Let's say 14:18:20 5 A. Yes, sir. That's under "Specifications," 14:21:43 6 you wanted a gasket, in accordance with MILG 1WO5, or 7 whatever that number is, because for some reason, you 8 need one. You can go online -- and back then, it was 14:18:27 6 14:18:36 7 14:18:39 8 Military. Q. And that's what you referred to by example as a Flexitallic gasket? 14:21:52 14:21:53 14:21:56 9 just a book -- and look for that, and it would give you 14:18:43 9 A. Yes. That's a spiral round gasket. 14:21:58 10 manufacturers that supplied that gasket and were on that 11 list. In other words, the government had ordered it or 12 whatever at their facility, and they are saying that, 14:18:50 10 14:18:55 11 14:19:00 12 Q. So the Navy, through the use ofthe military specifications, required Leslie to use the metallic asbestos spiral round gasket in the pressure reducing 14:22:00 14:22:03 14:22:08 13 yes, their gaskets comply to those requirements. Then 14:19:04 13 valve, correct? 14:22:11 14 you can order them from them. 14:19:09 14 A. Yes, sir. It's required. In fact, if you go 15 Q. Could you source component parts that were not 14:19:10 15 to the next page, you'll see a list of materials -- 16 on a QPL or mil spec for inclusion in your finished 14:19:15 16 Q. Yes. 14:22:12 14:22:17 14:22:20 17 products? 14:19:20 17 A. -- that are mandated to be used in these 14:22:21 18 A. If the specification required a mil spec 14:19:22 18 valves. And if you go under "Gaskets, spiral round 14:22:25 19 component, you had to order a mil spec component. 20 Q. I would like to run through an example with 21 you, and I've marked as Exhibit A a copy of valves 14:19:27 19 14:19:32 20 14:19:35 21 materials instructions in accordance with MILG point 21032," et cetera. Q. Now, you just mentioned two other terms. I 14:22:32 14:22:33 14:22:36 22 pressure reducing steam service military specification 14:19:39 22 want to go back. ANSI and ASTM? 14:22:39 23 MIL-V-17848V. Itappears tobe 1968. Thathasbeen 24 marked as Exhibit A for identification. 25 (Defendant's Exhibit A marked.) 14:19:52 23 14:19:58 24 14:19:58 25 A. Yes. If you go to the top of page 2, it lists different specifications. It says, "American Society for Testing and Materials." 14:22:42 14:22:48 14:22:51 Page 150 Page 152 1 BY MR. HUGO: 2 Q. Mr. Wrobel, take a moment and take a look at 14 :19:5 8 14:20:00 1 2 Q. Right. A. And you see below it "A105," that happens to be 14:22:55 14:22:56 3 that document and tell me whether you are familiar with 14:20:03 3 a forging specification. The casting I was talking 14:22:59 4 it. 14:20:03 4 about before, if you look down farther, it says, "A216, 14:23:05 5 (Brief pause in proceedings.) 14:20:08 5 carbon steel castings." "A217, alloy steel castings." 14:23:10 THE WITNESS: I've seen this before. 7 BY MR. HUGO: 14:20:14 14:20:16 6 7 Q. In fact, when you were asked earlier about the American Society of Testing and Materials, ASTM, Mr. 14:23:18 14:23:21 8 Q. How are you familiar with it? What is it? 14:20:16 8 Galiher didn't ask you whether they, in fact, specified 14:23:25 9 A. It's a mil spec for a -- it says, "Military 14:20:17 9 the use of asbestos-containing materials or engineered 14:23:30 10 specification valves, pressure reducing steam service." 14:20:24 10 them? 14:23:33 11 Q. Is that a product that Leslie manufactured? 14:20:30 11 A. I don't remember talking about ASTM. 14:23:33 12 A. Yes, it is. 14:20:33 12 Q. Okay. What was the other one that he asked you 14:23:36 13 Q. Does that specification, in turn, incorporate 14:20:34 13 about, if you remember? 14:23:38 14 additional specifications for gaskets, for example? 14:20:39 14 A. ASME. 14:23:39 15 A. Yes, sir. If you look at paragraph 2.2, it 14:20:43 15 Q. Okay. And what's the -- 14:23:42 16 says, "Other publications." And also, under 2, it says, 14:20:47 16 A. American Society of Mechanical Engineers. 14:23:43 17 "Applicable documents." All those documents listed 14:20:51 17 Q. Are you aware whether they specified use of 14:23:45 18 there become part of this. So if you are looking for a 19 gasket, and it mentions it in there, you have to order 14:20:54 18 14:20:57 19 asbestos-containing materials? A. Actually -- and I can't remember the actual 14:23:48 14:23:50 20 the gasket to that particular specification. 14:21:01 20 specification number, but there is an ASME/ANSI spec. I 14:23:59 21 And once they list that document in there -- 14:21:04 21 can get the actual number. 14:24:10 22 and if you go to page 2, even for raw materials, it 14:21:10 22 Q. I'm not concerned about the number. Just the 14:24:12 23 says, all their publications, the following documents 14:21:13 23 content. 14:24:14 24 form part of the specification. So they are specified 14:21:17 24 A. Well, there is a table in that specification 14:24:14 25 herein, and it lists other documents, like the ASTM 14:21:22 25 that had a list of different gaskets that were suggested 14:24:21 Page 151 Page 153 39 (Pages 150 to 153) A309C8E MATTHEW WROBEL DECEMBER 1, 2009 1 to be used in valves, and one of them was spiral round 14:24:25 1 2 asbestos containing, and I think that was in there up 3 until the end of 1990. 4 Q. Okay. And while we are talking about dates and 14:24:30 2 14:24:32 14:24:35 3 4 5 times --1 believe that you made reference to this, but 14:24:38 5 6 is it true that after Leslie made the decision to not 14:24:41 6 7 use asbestos-containing gaskets and packing in some of 14:24:46 7 8 their valves, the Navy required the continued use of 14:24:50 8 9 asbestos-containing gaskets and packing in its valves? 14:24:53 9 10 That is, the valves that Leslie produced under military 11 specification? 12 A. When they would order a valve, they'd order it 14:24:56 10 14:25:00 11 14:25:00 12 13 -- say, "I want a Leslie valve" -- in accordance with 14:25:04 13 14 approved Navy drawing 23032M REV 2. I'm just picking a 15 number. And you could not deviate from that. Until 16 that drawing was reapproved with a different component, 14:25:07 14 14:25:12 15 14:25:16 16 17 you had to supply it that way. 14:25:19 17 18 Q. And in materials of the chronology of Leslie's 14:25:21 18 19 production of various products, was Leslie producing 20 valves for the military that contained 21 asbestos-containing component parts after Leslie 14:25:23 19 14:25:27 20 14:25:30 21 22 discontinued the use of those asbestos-containing 14:25:34 22 23 component parts for commercial application valves? 24 A. Yes, we did. 25 Q. Now, you also talked about this inspection 14:25:36 23 14:25:39 24 14:25:42 25 Q. That's part of the Navy shipyard? A. Yes. Q. Okay. A. Part of the documentation that was required by contract, and there were other things. But this is a certificate of conformance and test basically that Leslie certified we met all the contract requirements. And if you look, there's boxes that are X'd, which is saying that this particular valve had a visual inspection, a dimensional inspection, material inspection, material in accordance with the Navy drawing and/or specifications. Chemical composition and mechanical properties test, that was actually of the castings and pressure containing material. You actually get certified material test report from the foundry. This required a class one radiographic examination. This required magnetic particle testing. This required particle liquid penetrant test in the seats and the welds, which is common on Navy valves. Preservation and packing, we are certifying that we are doing it in accordance with the mil spec. The hydrostatic test pressure that was required by contract or mil spec was 3,250. We did a seat tightness of the valve at 1090, and we did a performance test on water at 1090. 14:27:02 14:27:04 14:27:04 14:27:05 14:27:08 14:27:11 14:27:15 14:27:25 14:27:31 14:27:33 14:27:36 14:27:39 14:27:44 14:27:47 14:27:51 14:27:55 14:27:59 14:28:00 14:28:03 14:28:07 14:28:10 14:28:13 14:28:16 14:28:22 14:28:26 Page 154 Page 156 1 process, and I'm going to show you what I've marked as 14:25:45 1 2 Exhibit B for identification. 14:25:48 2 There were also other tests that were done. Post-shock vibration inspection tests were done, and it 14:28:29 14:28:32 3 (Defendant's Exhibit B marked.) 4 BY MR. HUGO: 14:25:48 3 14:26:08 4 was inspected by Angelo Lavecki. He was an individual that worked in the test department. 14:28:37 14:28:42 5 Q. Take a minute and look at that document. If 14:26:08 5 Q. That's of Leslie, right? 14:28:44 6 you are familiar with it, tells us what it is, and how 14:26:11 6 A. That's Leslie. 14:28:45 7 you recognize it. 14:26:13 7 Q. And is that it for the jury? Only Lesliedid 14:28:48 8 MR. GALIHER: I object to the form of this 14:26:13 8 these tests? 14:28:51 9 exhibit. I can't read the top of it. I don't know what 14:26:15 9 A. Leslie performed the tests. 14:28:51 10 it is. 14:26:17 10 Q. And then what happened? 14:28:53 11 THE WITNESS: This doc is a Leslie document, 14:26:24 11 A. The QAR witnessed and/or he could inspect also. 14:28:54 12 and I believe what it says on top, because I made out a 14:26:27 12 The QAR wouldn't run the test press to run it, but he 14:29:00 13 lot of these, is "Inspection and test report, 14:26:30 13 would be there to witness it. And if you notice, to the 14:29:02 14 certificate of conformance" or "compliance." I forgot 14:26:38 14 right of where it says "Shock and vibration," it's 14:29:05 15 which one it was. 14:26:38 15 signed J.J. Raymond. That was Jules Raymond. He was 14:29:09 16 BY MR. HUGO: 14:26:40 16 the Navy inspector QAR. They called it a QAS. They've 14:29:14 17 Q. Is that a document that you actually had 14:26:40 17 changed names. And actually, that box that's right 14:29:19 18 obtained at your direction from records kept in the 19 ordinary course of business by Leslie? 14:26:43 18 14:26:46 19 there that you see, he has a rubber stamp that has an American eagle on it with his number that he's assigned. 14:29:22 14:29:26 20 A. Yes. 14:26:48 20 He is stamping this document saying that he verified all 14:29:28 21 MR. GALIHER: I object to the form of the 14:26:49 21 that we did on this, and you need this prior to 14:29:34 22 question. It's leading. 14:26:52 22 shipment. 14:29:37 23 THE WITNESS: This is for a control valve that 14:26:53 23 Q. Now, I don't want to go into too much detail, 14:29:37 24 we were making for Newport News, and -- 14:26:56 24 but the members of the jury may never see a Leslie 14:29:43 25 BY MR.

No. These are specialty valves. 14:29:49 3 Q. What is that? 4 Q. What does that mean? What is a specialty 14:29:50 4 A. All quality -- it defines the Leslie quality 14:32 :3 6 14:32:39 14:32:41 14:32:42 5 valve? 14:29:54 5 system or anybody else's who they -- what must be in 6 A.

It talks about 9 valves. They are made by contract only. 14:30:05 9 corrective action if there is something that happens. 10 Q. And you used some terms that I want you to 14:30:07 10 If you get a corrective action request from someone, how 11 define here. 14:30:11 11 you have to answer it, what actions you have to take to 12 You said it was hydrostatic pressure tested to 14:30:11 12 prevent reoccurrence. It talks about drawing and change 13 30 to 50. 30 to 50 what? 14:30:16 13 control. It talks about measuring and test equipment. 14 A. Okay. Hydrostatic testing is filling something 14:30:18 14 Measuring and test equipment must be calibrated and 15 with water, and then you pressurize it. Okay? And the 14:30:21 15 traceable to a national standard. 16 different specifications, based on the pressure rating 14:30:25 16 And it even further goes into the calibration. 17 of the valve, there is a rule of thumb one and one half 14:30:28 17 If you were to read the measuring and testing part, it 18 times the rated pressure of the valve. It's actually 14:30:31 18 calls out MIL-C-15662, which says, "The equipment that 19 higher than that because it's on a pressure temperature. 14:30:33 19 you use to measure, inspect, and test must be calibrated 20 But this valve was rated at 900 PSI. 14:30:38 20 to that specification," and also process controls and a 14:32:45 14:32:48 14:32:57 14:33:00 14:33:03 14:33:07 14:33:10 14:33:13 14:33:15 14:33:19 14:33:22 14:33:24 14:33:27 14:33:30 14:33:34 14:33:38 21 If you look in the upper-right column -- upper 22 right hand under "Description," I think it says -23 Q. That's 900 and then the pound sign? 24 A. 900 and then the pound sign. It's a 900-pound 25 rated valve. For a 900-pound rated valve of this 14:30:43 21 14:30:46 22 14:30:50 23 14:30:51 24 14:30:55 25 whole gamut of things. Q. Okay. We've talked about inspection from the time that the raw materials are procured through the production at the Leslie facility. Was there US Navy inspection and testing after 14:33:44 14:33:45 14:33:47 14:33:51 14:33:53 Page 158 Page 160 1 material, the specification -- we did a pressure test 2 for integrity of 3,250 PSI. 14:30:58 1 14:31:03 2 the products left Leslie's possession based on your years with Leslie? 14:33 :5 6 14:34: 02 3 Q. And PSI means? 14:31:09 3 A. Yes. It was done at the shipyards also. The 14:34:04 4 A. Times per square inch. 5 Q. All right. Now, in addition, I'm going to show 6 you what I'm going to mark as Exhibit C, which is mil 7 spec number MIL-I-45208A. This one is 1961 and an 14:31:12 4 14:31:14 5 14:31:21 14:31:39 7 shipyards -- in some cases, we actually had -- remember when I was talking about the X-rays? Q. Yes. A. Actually, X-ray film on some of the contracts 14:34:08 14:34:12 14:34:14 14:34:14 8 appendix -- it looks like 1968. 14:31:57 8 was required to be sent even before we can start cutting 9 (Defendant's Exhibit C marked.) 14:31:57 9 into chips. Before we can actually have a casting 10 BY MR. HUGO: 14:31:57 10 shipped to us, we might have to send it to Electric Boat 11 Q. Take a moment and take a look at that document 14:31:59 11 or Newport News or somebody like that. And in some 14:34:18 14:34:18 14:34:22 14:34:24 12 and let me know if you recognize it. 13 A. Yes, I do. 14 Q. Was that document obtained at your direction 15 from the records of Leslie? 14:32:01 12 14:32:03 13 14:32:04 14 14:32:08 15 cases, they would have to approve the film -Q. Okay. Who -A. -- before we could do that. Q. I want to clarify. You just used the term 14:34:27 14:34:27 14:34:30 14:34:31 16 A. Yes, sir. 14:32:10 16 "X-ray." Earlier, when we were talking about Exhibit B 14:34:33 17 Q. And kept in the normal and ordinary course of 18 Leslie's business? 19 A. Yes, sir. 14:32:11 17 14:32:14 18 14:32:15 19 and going through the checklist, you used the term "radiographic examination." Is that -- A. That's X-ray. 14:34:40 14:34:45 14:34:46 20 Q. Can you tell the members of the jury what that 14:32:16 20 Q. -- the same? 14:34:47 21 is? 22 A. It's a military inspection for the inspection 23 requirements that Leslie must meet as a prerequisite to 14:32:18 21 14:32:18 22 14:32:21 23 A. That's X-ray, yes. Q. And the shipyards are the ones that had the machinery -- and I'm specifically talking about the US 14:34:49 14:34:49 14:34:52 24 be nationally offered and doing any Navy work at all. 14:32:27 24 Navy shipyards -- the machinery necessary to conduct the 14:34:55 25 This MIL-I-45208, if you gothrough it, it goes through 14:32:30 25 radiographic examinations or X-rays? 14:35:00 Page 159 Page 161 41 (Pages 158 to 161) A309C8E MATTHEW WROBEL DECEMBER 1, 2009 1 MR. GALIHER: I object to the form of the 2 question. It's leading. 3 THE WITNESS: Our castings would be 4 radiographed by a foundry or a lab close to that foundry 5 that was certified. But, yes, the shipyards do have facilities to verify your results. As a matter of fact, 7 there was many an occasion over a period of, you know, 8 counting everything, 20 years, would get a call from 9 Electric Boat, and they would say, "We have this 10 casting. We are going to X-ray it. Can you send me the 14:35: 03 1 14:35:03 2 14:35:05 14:35:07 3 4 14:35:10 5 14:35:13 6 14:35:18 7 14:35:21 8 14:35:24 9 14:35:27 10 A. Yes. Prior to a ship being accepted by the Navy, it goes on sea trials, and -- Q. Tell the members of the jury what a sea trial is. A. The ship goes out. The Navy is running the ship, along with people from the shipyard. And they have basically a test that they have to run. For example, full speed ahead, full speed reverse. All equipment is being operated. You know, the valves are run up to pressure. Because to go full speed ahead or 14 :37 :2 7 14 :37:3 0 14:37:33 14:37:33 14:37:36 14:37:38 14:37:41 14:37:44 14:37:48 14:37:51 11 film? We want to verify what you did." They have 14:35:30 11 full speed in reverse or whatever, all the equipment has 14:37:54 12 random inspections that they have to do, too. 14:35:34 12 to be working. And that's when usually -- when they go 14:37:57 13 BY MR. HUGO: 14 Q. So they'd be comparing the film that was done, 14:35:37 13 14:35:37 14 on sea trial, there is a technical representative from the companies that supplied the equipment. And if the 14:38:00 14:38:03 15 for example, at the foundry with the film taken of the 14:35:41 15 equipment fails, you know, or doesn't work, you have the 14:38:06 16 finished product to make sure that they were of the same 14:35:43 16 opportunity to fix it. I mean, if it can be fixed, I 14:38:13 17 component, which became a valve? 14:35:46 17 mean -- if the ship doesn't pass the test, the Navy 14:38:15 18 A. What they were trying to do is verify that the 14:35:48 18 doesn't accept the ship -- 14:38:19 19 X-ray that you did and the acceptance of that, that it 14:35:51 19 Q. Okay. Who directed and controlled those 14:38:19 20 was a good X-ray, and they would periodically do this. 14:35:59 20 testing procedures? 14:38:21 21 Q. Based on your 44 years at Leslie and your time 14:36:03 21 A. That's the Navy. 14:38:22 22 at shipyards and aboard Navy ships, did the inspectors 14:36:06 22 Q. Are you familiar with the Naval Engineering 14:38:29 23 not only have the authority to inspect, but did they 14:36:11 23 Station or the Navy Boiler and Turbine Laboratory? 14:38:32 24 have the authority to either accept or reject products 25 manufactured by Leslie? 14:36:14 24 14:36:17 25 A. It's a lab that I know had been used for shock and vibration testing of valves. 14:38:36 14:38:43 Page 162 Page 164 1 MR. GALIHER: I object to the form of the 14:36:18 1 Q. Was Leslie required or obligated to send 14:38:45 2 question. It's leading. 14:36:20 2 samples of its product to those facilities for testing 14:38:48 3 THE WITNESS: The shipyards and the procuring 4 activities. Not necessarily the shipyards, but 5 Mechanicburg and other depots that ordered parts. You 14:36:21 14:36:24 14:36:27 3 4 5 and inspection? A. You had to send it to an approved laboratory. In some cases, in the contracts, it was quite specific. 14:38:50 14:38:51 14:38:55 6 know, some contracts came in where there were inspection 14:36:31 6 In other cases, you just send it to a lab that had been 14:38:58 7 source, acceptance destination. They should reinspect 14:36:35 7 approved by the Navy. 14:39:02 8 at any point in time, and the shipyards -- the shipyards 14:36:37 8 MR. HUGO: I'm going to mark now another 14:39:03 9 normally inspected everything that came in. 14:36:40 9 document, and it's going to be marked as Exhibit D for 14:39:07 10 BY MR. HUGO: 14:36:44 10 identification -- 11 Q. And did you personally interface with 14:36:45 11 MR. GALIHER: I have to go to the bathroom. 12 government and shipyard quality control personnel 14:36:46 12 MR. HUGO: -- after this break so the 13 concerning the equipment supplied by Leslie pursuant to 14:36:50 13 videographer can make the time adjustments, and we'll 14 these specifications? 14:36:55 14 take a break. 15 A. Oh, yes, sir. I worked with them. 14:36:57 15 (Defendant's Exhibit D marked.) 14:39:26 16 Q. Now, you also used -- 14:36:58 16 THE VIDEOGRAPHER: We are going off the record. 14:39:26 17 A. A lot -- a lot of different of government 18 inspectors, a lot of different quality people at 14:36:59 17 14:37:01 18 The time on the screen is 2:39. (Recess.) 14:39:28 14:39:31 19 different shipyards. Bath Iron Works, Newport News 14:37:06 19 THE VIDEOGRAPHER: We are now back on the 14:54:09 20 especially, Electric Boat. 21 Q. Okay. You told us about being seasick, so I 14:37:10 20 14:37:13 21 record. The time on the screen is 2:55. BY MR. HUGO: 14:55:06 14:55:14 22 don't want to spend a lot of time with this. 14:37:17 22 Q. Mr. Wrobel, when we took a break, we were 14:55:15 23 But after a product made its way from Leslie to 14:37:20 23 talking about testing by the United States Navy 14:55:19 24 a shipyard, was there something called a sea trial which 14:37:23 24 laboratories. I've marked for identification Leslie 14:55:22 25 occurred? 14:37:26 25 Exhibit D. Take a moment and take a look at that 14:55:25 Page 163 Page 165 42 (Pages 162 to 165) A309C8E MATTHEW WROBEL DECEMBER 1, 2009 1 document. And ifyou recognize it, tell us what it is. 2 A. Give me a minute. 3 (Brief pause in proceedings.) 14:55 :2 8 1 14:55:31 2 14:55:48 3 the reading and then have the drawing. And he'd say, "Do this one," or "I want to do that." Whatever he wanted to do, I had to do it. 14:58:55 14:58:59 14:59:02 4 THE WITNESS: It's hard to read the -- I'm 14:55:49 4 Q. Based on your time working with or for him at 14:59:03 5 sorry -- request. Okay. It's a request to the United 14:55:52 5 Leslie, what was the purpose of him sending this product 14:59:08 6 States Naval Engineering Laboratory in Annapolis, and it 14:56:17 out for testing and requesting a report back from the 14:59:11 7 looks like we had an order. We were a subcontractor, 14:56:25 7 Marine Engineering Laboratory in Annapolis, Maryland? 14:59:15 8 but we had an order for a Warren pump, it looks like, 14:56:31 8 A. The contract that we got as a sub, because it 14:59:19 9 and -- 14:56:36 9 looks like here Warren -- Warren is the prime, and we 14:59:23 10 BY MR. HUGO: 14:56:37 10 were going to put one of our governors on one of their 14:59:27 11 Q. When you said Annapolis, you are talking about 14:56:37 11 pumps, I guess. That's what I'm getting from this. 14:59:30 12 Annapolis, Maryland, correct? 14:56:39 12 They delegated down the requirements that were imposed 14:59:32 13 A. Yes. Annapolis, Maryland. 14:56:40 13 on them as a direct contractor, as the prime contractor. 14:59:34 14 Q. And this is a performance test, correct? 14:56:42 14 They subdelegated down to us to reclaim that 14:59:38 15 A. It says -- this was a cover document to send a 14:56:44 15 piece of equipment that we were making for them. And 14:59:42 16 pump governor, pump pressure regulator -- okay? -- to 14:56:52 16 also, on -- the QAR, the Navy inspector at Warren Pumps, 14:59:45 17 that lab, that Navy lab because it says here, "Submitted 14:56:57 17 because there was a requirement that the valve be 14:59:50 18 for performance test to meet in accordance with 14:57:01 18 inspected and tested in accordance with the 14:59:52 19 paragraph" -- I don't know if that's 413 or number 13 -20 "a one-inch Leslie PLNS-5 Type CPQ class 1, Series 600 14:57:05 19 14:57:10 20 specifications, send what they call a letter of delegation to Mr. Mishnekoff, giving him instructions. 14:59:55 14:59:57 21 service -- standby lube pump." And they are asking to 14:57:16 21 And actually, the guy who was at Warren Pump 15:00:00 22 do a test in accordance with that. 23 And if you noticed, it's got the Navy 24 inspector, Frank Mishnekoff. That's the guy I worked 14:57:21 22 14:57:24 23 14:57:27 24 got a letter of delegation from the Navy as a prime of what he has to inspect and check on the piece of equipment. 15:00:03 15:00:08 15:00:11 25 with when I first started. And, again, his eagle. 14:57:32 25 Q. And if it fails the inspection, what's the 15:00:12 Page 166 Page 168 1 Okay? And it says, "send a report of the test to Mr. 14 :57 :3 5 1 result? 15 :00:16 2 Frank Mishnekoff, QAR, DCASD - Newark." Care of Leslie 3 Controls. That's where Mr. Mishnekoff-- 14:57:38 14:57:46 2 3 A. Number one, the equipment is stopped at whatever point it is. Okay? And depending on the 15:00:21 15:00:24 4 Q. Okay. Mishnekoff,for the record, is 14:57:47 4 severity. Okay? Example: Let's say the valve was 15:00:29 5 M-i-s-h-n-e-k-o-f-f, correct? 14:57:51 5 painted and it had some drips on it. You know what I'm 15:00:33 A. Yes, sir. 14:57:54 talking? When you spray paint, you got little beads 15:00:42 7 Q. And he was actually -- when you said stationed, 14:57:55 7 left on paint? 15:00:44 8 he was the inspector who was physically present at 14:57:58 8 Q. Right. 15:00:44 9 Leslie Company assigned there by the United States Navy, 14:58:00 9 A. He could say, "For quality purposes, I don't 10 correct? 14:58:06 10 like that." Okay? "Fix it." And if it was something 11 A. Assigned there by the government or the United 14:58:06 11 minor, he might do it like that. If he found they used 15:00:45 15:00:51 15:00:55 12 States Navy. One of them, yeah. 14:58:09 12 the wrong component -- okay? -- it could be a lengthy 15:00:59 13 Q. And were youpersonally familiar with Mr. 14:58:10 13 process. Okay? He would issue a corrective action 15:01:04 14 Mishnekoff? 14:58:13 14 report, which takes you into a whole different ball 15:01:08 15 A. When I first started there being an inspector 14:58:14 15 game, back to that 45208 where they have to do it. 15:01:13 16 trainee, as anybody who is an interim, first-start 14:58:17 16 And until you resolve the problem, until you 15:01:13 17 position, you get to do all the jobs that nobody else 14:58:21 17 can prove you've taken action to preclude recurrence, 15:01:17 18 wants to do. So I had to assist him in his inspections. 14:58:24 18 the product sits there. And, you know, if somebody 15:01:20 19 When he was doing dimensional inspections, I would get 14:58:32 19 falsified something, you go to jail. 15:01:29 20 the tools for him. I would take them to where the 14:58:35 20 Q. Now, youtalked about the fact that one 15:01:31 21 equipment was. 14:58:38 21 particular individual, Mr. Mishnekoff, was physically 15:01:36 22 He would tell me in a lot of cases, "Okay, take 14:58:38 22 present at Leslie Company when you started. 15:01:41 23 the dimension for me of -- this dimension on the valve 14:58:43 23 How long between the start of your employment 15:01:43 24 or whatever." And I would kneel down, take the 14:58:50 24 with Leslie and today has there been a US Navy inspector 15:01:46 25 dimension of a piece ofinspection equipment, and read 14:58:52 25 at Leslie? 15:01:52 Page 167 Page 169 43 (Pages 166 to 169) A309C8E MATTHEW WROBEL DECEMBER 1, 2009 1 A. The entire time. 15:01:53 1 Q. Did the Navy ever ask Leslie to recall any 2 Q. Upuntiltoday-3 A. Up until today. 4 Q. -- literally, which is December the 1st of 15:01:54 2 15:01:56 3 15:01:57 4 products that Leslie manufactured that may have contained an asbestos-containing component part? A. Not to my knowledge. 5 2009, correct? 15:01:59 5 Q. At any time in time, did the Navy ask or 6 A. Yes. 7 Q. You also talked about technical manuals. 8 Are technical manuals covered by military 9 specifications as well? 15:02:00 6 15:02:00 7 15:02:10 8 15:02:14 9 instruct Leslie to affix a warning or caution statement to any of its products? The products themselves now as opposed to the technical manual? A. Concerning asbestos? 10 A. Yes, they are. 11 Q. And what is the process -- actually, let me go 12 back before I skip over something. 15:02:16 10 15:02:17 11 15:02:18 12 Q. Yes. A. Not that I'm aware of. Q. You talked a little bit in response to Mr. 13 Exhibit D is actually a document that was 15:02:21 13 Galiher's question about a Tyfon, T-y-f-o-n, whistle, 14 obtained at your direction from records kept in the 15 ordinary course of business by Leslie, correct? 16 A. Yes, sir. 17 Q. Okay. With that aside, what is the process by 15:02:24 14 15:02:27 15 15:02:29 16 15:02:30 17 which contained some asbestos insulation inside the product, correct? A. Yes, sir. Q. To your knowledge, did anybody ever order a 18 which a Leslie technical manual is drafted and reviewed 15:02:37 18 replacement piece of insulation for a Tyfon whistle from 19 by the United States Navy? 20 A. To my knowledge, engineering or part of 21 engineering writes a manual in accordance with the 15:02:42 19 15:02:45 20 15:02:47 21 Leslie? MR. GALIHER: I object to the form of the question as leading. 22 requirements of the mil spec. I've never read in 15:02:51 22 THE WITNESS: I have never seen any document 23 entirety. I never wrote one. But it tells what has to 24 be in it. It tells the size. They are very, very -25 like any military specification, it's very defined. And 15:02:55 23 15:02:59 24 15:03:08 25 where somebody ordered that. BY MR. HUGO: Q. Have you ever seen any document which indicates 15:04:14 15:04:18 15:04:21 15:04:25 15:04:25 15:04:33 15:04:36 15:04:41 15:04:43 15:04:44 15:04:45 15:04:47 15:04:54 15:04:59 15:05:05 15:05:06 15:05:07 15:05:11 15:05:17 15:05:18 15:05:19 15:05:20 15:05:24 15:05:26 15:05:27 Page 170 Page 172 1 once it's written, it's submitted to whoever asked you 2 to do that for review and approval. 3 Q. And that would be the Navy; is that correct? 15 :03:11 15:03:14 15:03:17 2 3 that somebody repaired a Leslie Tyfon whistle which caused them to disturb or replace that asbestos insulation? 15:05:30 15: 05 :3 4 15:05:38 4 A. The Navy. Or the shipyard could have done it, 15:03:19 4 A. No, sir. There is no reason to disturb that at 15:05:40 5 and then the shipyard would give it to the ship building 15:03:22 5 all. 15:05:43 or Navy or whoever required it from Navships. 7 Q. Based on your 44 years of employment with 15:03:25 15:03:28 7 Q. Why is that? A. Because it's a closure, and all the components, 15:05:43 15:05:43 8 Leslie and your involvement in the manufacturing process 15:03:33 if you look at that drawing, can be accessed without 15:05:48 9 that you've discussed, do you have any doubt in your 10 mind that the United States Navy knew which 11 asbestos-containing products, if any, were contained 15:03:37 9 15:03:41 10 15:03:43 11 even touching it. Q. You were shown some documents from Southern Power and Industry dated in the 1940s from the American 15:05:51 15:05:52 15:05:59 12 within Leslie's products -- 15:03:47 12 Society of Mechanical Engineers from the 1940s as well. 15:06:07 13 MR. GALIHER: I object to the form of the -14 BY MR. HUGO: 15 Q. -- at every point in time in production? 15:03:53 13 15:03:53 14 15:03:53 15 Do you remember that? A. Yes, sir. Q. Have you ever reviewed any documents from 15:06:11 15:06:11 15:06:12 16 MR. GALIHER: I object to the form of the 15:03:55 16 either ofthose organizations that concluded or 15:06:16 17 question as leading. 15:03:55 17 suggested that asbestos-containing gaskets or packing 15:06:19 18 THE WITNESS: The government knew exactly what 19 everything was in that valve. It's called out on the 20 approved Navy drawing or master plan that we called it 15:03:56 18 15:03:58 19 15:04:01 20 posed a health hazard to people who worked with or around them in Leslie's products? MR. GALIHER: I object to the form of the 15:06:24 15:06:27 15:06:29 21 before. 15:04:04 21 question. 15:06:31 22 BY MR. HUGO: 23 Q. Did the Navy ever ask Leslie to put a warning 24 regarding asbestos in any of Leslie's technical manuals? 15:04:04 22 15:04:05 23 15:04:09 24 THE WITNESS: No, sir, I have not. MR. HUGO: And that is the extent of my examination at this point. 15:06:31 15:06:40 15:06:42 25 A. Not to my knowledge. 15:04:13 25 Anybody else have any questions? I'm hearing 15:06:47 Page 171 Page 173 44 (Pages 170 to 173) A309C8E MATTHEW WROBEL DECEMBER 1, 2009 1 none. 15:06:52 1 document, however. It's A you are talking about? 15:11:13 2 MS. SHELDON: Marie Sheldon. I don't have any 3 questions. Thanks. 4 MR. HUGO: I believe that the deposition is 15:06:53 2 15:06:54 3 15:06:59 4 THE WITNESS: I believe so. MR. HUGO: Mr. Wrobel, I knowyou have a lot of documents here, but just look at that one and compare it 15:11:16 15:11:17 15:11:21 5 concluded. We should go off the record, and -- 15:07:01 5 to Exhibit A and make sure it's the military 15:11:23 6 MR. GALIHER: No. I need to ask some 7 follow-up. 8 MR. HUGO: Okay. 15:07:02 6 15:07:03 7 15:07:03 8 specification for the same thing. THE WITNESS: 12 November of '68, superseding -- 15:11:28 15:11:29 15:11:29 9 MR. GALIHER: I was just waiting for the round 15:07:04 9 MR. HUGO: Nottheone-- 15:11:33 10 Robin to roll in, if the co-defendants are all finished. 11 MR. HUGO: You want to do one at a time? 12 MR. GALIHER: No. Both, the same. 15:07:06 10 15:08:46 11 15:08:48 12 THE WITNESS: When I looked here, I looked at the wrong -- MR. HUGO: No. That's fine. We'll get clear. 15:11:33 15:11:35 15:11:36 13 (Plaintiffs' Exhibits 21, 22 marked.) 15:08:48 13 Not the date, but just the right product. Is it the 15:11:37 14 FURTHER EXAMINATION 15:08:57 14 exact same type of valve, or is it a different -- 15 BY MR. GALIHER: 15:08:57 15 THE WITNESS: No. It's the same specification. 16 Q. Mr. Wrobel, counsel asked you some questions on 15:08:58 16 MR. HUGO: Okay. 15:11:40 15:11:43 15:11:44 17 Exhibit A having to do with the military specification 15:09:03 17 BY MR. GALIHER: 15:11:45 18 for valves pressure reducing steam service. 15:09:06 18 Q. So -- 15:11:48 19 Do you recall? 15:09:12 19 A. And this document, Exhibit A, says it 15:11:48 20 A. Yes. 15:09:12 20 superseded MIL-V-17848 (ships,) November 1958. And this 15:11:54 21 Q. I believe that was a mil spec dated 12 November 15:09:13 21 one is the document that this supersedes. 15:12:02 22 -- isthat 1966? 15:09:24 22 MR. HUGO: Okay. 15:12:07 23 A. 12 or 19 November. 24 Q. It's '66 or '68? 25 A. 12 November 1966. 15:09:33 23 15:09:34 24 15:09:35 25 BY MR. GALIHER: Q. And that's the same, and that '58, in fact, superseded the original, which was 17 October 1955; is 15:12:10 15:12:11 15:12:14 Page 174 Page 176 1 MR. GALIHER: Okay. Do we have a better date 2 than that? 15:09:38 15:09:48 1 2 that correct? A. Yes, sir. 15:12:23 15:12:23 3 MR. DEROBERTIS: No. 15:09:49 3 Q. Okay. And just so we are clear, the military 15:12:26 4 BY MR. GALIHER: 15:09:52 4 specification is a description of a product; is that 15:12:33 5 Q. Okay. Thatmil spec that was marked as Exhibit 15:09:52 5 correct? 15:12:36 A actually supersedes the previous mil spec that covered 15:09:56 6 A. I guess the word "description" -- it's the 7 that valve; is that correct? And I've just showed you 15:10:01 7 specification that covers regulating valves for steam 15:12:36 15:12:49 8 Exhibit 22 and 21. See if those are the preceding 15:10:07 8 service. 15:12:49 9 military specifications, if that's the one your counsel 15:10:12 9 Q. Okay. You used the example ofthat glass 15:12:54 10 directed your attention to? 15:10:16 10 sitting next to you. 15:12:54 11 A. No. I think this is superseding--that's 15:10:26 11 If there was a military specification of that, 15:12:57 12 superseding. Oh, it says, "superseding." The document 15:10:30 12 it would say, umpety-ump kind of glass and this height 15:13:00 13 that this replaced, it looks like is dated 19 November. 15:10:34 13 and that width and whatever, that's clear to see 15:13:03 14 And this is 17 October, and this is 17 October. 15:10:39 14 through, whatever, rather than say, "A Leslie water 15:13:05 15 MR. DEROBERTIS: That's B. 15:10:55 15 glass." It's a description of what the product is, or 15:13:10 16 BY MR. GALIHER: 15:10:56 16 what the end product here is supposed to be built 15:13:13 17 Q. I have a cleaner copy here. And up at the top, 15:10:57 17 according to specification; is that correct? 15:13:16 18 it says, "12 November 1968." Do you want to just take a 19 look at that and make sure I'm talking about the right 15:11:01 18 15:11:05 19 A. Yes. It's how to build that product. Q. Okay. It might not be a Halliburton glass, but 15:13:17 15:13:21 20 date? 15:11:05 20 Halliburton could make a specification that would 15:13:26 21 A. Oh, wait a minute. Maybe I'm reading it wrong. 15:11:05 21 describe it that would meet a military specification? 15:13:28 22 MR. HUGO: I think that's the correct -- 15:11:06 22 A. As long as the configuration met all the 15:13:31 23 MR. GALIHER: 1968. I just don't want to 15:11:08 23 requirements of this. 15:13:31 24 create any confusion. 15:11:10 24 Q. Okay. So it's basically how to avoid a 15:13:33 25 MR. HUGO: I don't know that this is the same 15:11:11 25 brand-name so that other people can bid on it at least 15:13:35 Page 175 Page 177 45 (Pages 174 to 177) A309C8E MATTHEW WROBEL DECEMBER 1, 2009 1 in theory ifyou are going to produce it? 2 A. No. I think it's putting requirements in so 3 the valve performs the way it's supposed to perform. 4 Q. Okay. Soifthe military wasgoingtomakea 5 specification to buy Drano to clean their toilets, they 6 don't say, "Military specification for Drano." They'll 7 describe what it can do, little pellets that are made 8 out of X, Y, and Z and clean your toilet," is what I'm 9 saying. It's a description of a product? 10 A. And probably if it was Drano, it would say, 11 "The pellets should consist of so much percent of this, 12 so much percent of this, so much percent of this," or 13 "This be the diameter," or "This be the color of this," 14 et cetera, et cetera. 15 Q. But the idea is to have an objective 16 description of it that would meet some sort of 17 performance specification, work like it's supposed to, 18 but somebody else could make it besides the Drano 19 company? 20 A. Somebody else could make a valve to this 21 specification. 22 Q. Okay. That's all I'm asking. 23 A. If they went through all that they had to do. 24 Q. Okay. Now, your counsel showed you his Exhibit 25 B -- or was that A? That was A -- and that was a 15:13:38 1 15:13:41 2 15:13:45 3 15:13:47 4 15:13:52 5 15:13:57 6 15:14:01 7 15:14:04 8 15:14:08 9 15:14:09 10 15:14:12 11 15:14:12 12 15:14:15 13 15:14:18 14 15:14:18 15 15:14:21 16 15:14:24 17 15:14:25 18 15:14:28 19 15:14:29 20 15:14:33 21 15:14:33 22 15:14:35 23 15:14:37 24 15:14:43 25 A. No, sir. But those specifications become part of this specification. Q. No. But I'm saying, in the later iteration, the one your counsel brought to your attention, it specifically says asbestos -- metallic asbestos spiral round -- is that correct -- and that's not specifically listed in the previous iteration? A. That's correct. The previous iteration does not have a table -- well, it has a table, but in the table it doesn't list gasketing. However, what I'm saying, these other specifications, which become part of, could call out the requirements for the gasketing. Q. And both A and 21 and 22 list specifications as a second applicable document, and only in the one that your counsel selected to show you does it spell out our ad (phonetic) gaskets metallic asbestos; isthat correct? A. The earlier document does not call for spiral round gaskets. The later document does, and -- Q. And likewise -- go ahead. A. And basically, I'm assuming that's when we went to the later reducing valve where we went from the copper jacketed to the spiral round. Q. So that change in the gasketing was specified by this specification that came out in 1968, that 15:18:42 15:18:45 15:18:46 15:18:48 15:18:52 15:19:04 15:19:07 15:19:11 15:19:14 15:19:17 15:19:21 15:19:24 15:19:31 15:19:40 15:19:45 15:19:51 15:19:55 15:19:55 15:20:00 15:20:03 15:20:04 15:20:08 15:20:13 15:20:16 15:20:24 Page 178 Page 180 specification for this valve you described, and he 2 walked you through the part where it said gaskets, metallic asbestos spiral round. 4 Do you recall that? 5 A. Yes, sir. Q. That military specification superseded the one that was developed in November, 19 November 1968, whicl in fact superseded the one before that was developed in 9 October, October 17th, 1955; is that correct? 10 A. Yes, sir, in that sequence. 11 Q. And the two iterations before that, for the 12 decade and a half or the 13 years before that, there is 13 no such description of the gasketing material; is that 14 correct? 15 A. I don't know. I don't think I've ever seen 16 that. 17 Q. Well, why don't you take your time and go 18 through it? 19 A. I don't see it listed in the table as in the 20 later. However, these bureaus' drawings, without having 21 them in front of me, I can't tell if they reference 22 gasket and the type to be used. They could be listed in 23 these other documents. 24 Q. But it's not listed on the specification as 25 a -- 15 :14:4 6 1 15 :14:5 0 2 15 :14:5 9 3 15:15: 01 4 15:15: 02 5 15:15: 02 6 15:15: 10 7 15:15: 17 8 15 :15:2 7 9 15:15: 30 10 15:15: 32 11 15:15: 35 12 15:15: 39 13 15:15: 45 14 15:15: 45 15 15 :15:4 8 16 15 :15:4 9 17 15 :15:51 18 15:18:21 19 15:18:25 20 15:18:31 21 15:18:34 22 15:18:38 23 15:18:40 24 15:18:42 25 superseded the 1958 specification; is that correct? A. That's what I'm saying from these documents, that the later one is the spiral round. Q. And with respect to the three specifications in front of you, the three iterations of the same specification, the '55, the '58, and the '68, they are absolutely silent on the type of packing that should be incorporated; is that correct? A. That's correct because pressure reducing valves don't have packing. Q. With respect to your weight calculations that you made for Mr. Hugo, you are not a marine engineer, are you? A. No, sir. Q. And you don't have any notes for those calculations, do you? A. No, sir, I do not. Q. And did you work that out with counsel beforehand, those calculations? A. I did that maybe -- because when I was asked or tearing gaskets apart, and I said, "This is very time consuming." So I took it on my own -- I actually did it on an Excel spreadsheet. Q. When was this? A. A year and a half ago. 15:20:30 15:20:33 15:20:35 15:20:39 15:20:45 15:20:50 15:20:55 15:20:58 15:21:00 15:21:17 15:21:17 15:21:19 15:21:24 15:21:25 15:21:25 15:21:27 15:21:29 15:21:30 15:21:37 15:21:45 15:21:53 15:21:55 15:21:59 15:22:00 15:22:01 Page 179 Page 181 46 (Pages 178 to 181) A309C8E MATTHEW WROBEL DECEMBER 1, 2009 1 Q.

This is in response to questions counsel put to 15:27:54 15:27:56 15:28:09 15:28:10 18 Q. This had nothing to do with sheet gaskets, huh? 15:22:51 18 you having to do with specifications for writing manuals 15:28:12 19 A. I did calculate the sheet gaskets, too -- also. 20 Q. Exhibit D, this was a Warren Pumps exhibit, or 21 the prime contractor on this was Warren Pumps? 15:22:54 19 15:23:11 20 15:23:27 21 and technical publications for equipment.

(Pause in proceedings.) 15:30:31 15:30:33 15:33:19 Page 182 Page 184 1 Q. Okay. Is that someone that Leslie frequently 15:23:40 1 THE WITNESS: Okay. I've got a general idea of 15:36:12 2 teamed up with as far as equipment going aboard naval 15:23:50 2 what it's about. 15:36:14 3 vessels? 15:23:55 3 BY MR. GALIHER: 15:36:16 4 MS.

I don't believe I've ever read this. 15:36:19 6 teaming up. 7 THE WITNESS: I'm just saying what this was. 15:24:08 15:24:10 6 7 Q. Okay. This specification as referred to, is it not in our Exhibit 22? 15:36:21 15:36:31 8 BY MR. GALIHER: 15:24:14 8 MR. HUGO: Objection; lack of foundation, calls 15:36:37 9 Q. Sure. I'm asking you -- 15:24:14 9 for hearsay. 15:36:41 10 A. I never saw a Warren pump at Leslie. But 15:24:15 10 BY MR. GALIHER: 15:36:41 11 Leslie made pressure regulators, and Warren Pump ordered 15:24:19 11 Q. Do you recall those questions where your 15:36:48 12 a pump pressure regulator from us. They were the prime. 15:24:22 12 counsel was asking you about how -- was it their 15:36:49 13 We were the sub. We complied with the contract. 15:24:25 13 specifications that told you how to write these manuals, 15:36:52 14 Q. From reviewing documents and your own 15:24:27 14 technical manuals? Do you remember that? 15:36:56 15 experience at Leslie, was Warren Pumps a frequent 15:24:30 15 A. Yes, sir. 15:36:57 16 contractor that you worked with or Leslie worked with in 15:24:34 16 Q. Okay. Is that what this specification deals 15:36:58 17 conjunction with equipment going aboard naval vessels? 15:24:38 17 with? 15:37:01 18 A. I have -- "frequent," I don't know how to 19 define that. I have seen documents as I've gone through 15:24:42 18 15:24:49 19 MR. HUGO: Objection; vague, ambiguous, overbroad, lack of foundation, calls for hearsay. 15:37:02 15:37:04 20 things, kind of microfilm, where I have seen Leslie ship 15:24:52 20 BY MR. GALIHER: 15:37:07 21 valves to Warren Pump. 15:24:58 21 Q. Just so I'm referencing this correctly, mil 15:37:08 22 Q. Okay. This stamp that's on D, is that one of 15:25:00 22 spec M15071, "Military Specification Manual, Technical, 15:37:12 23 those rubber stamps you were describing? 15:25:03 23 For Mechanical and Electrical Equipment, Less 15:37:21 24 A.

That's what it says. 15:37:28 1 the original iteration of this military specification 15:39:57 2 Q. Okay. And this is basically telling you how to 3 write a manual; is that correct? 4 MR. HUGO: Objection; lack of foundation,calls 15:37:30 15:37:32 15:37:33 2 3 4 for the Leslie valve that you were building that counsel pointed out to you that's dated 17 October 1955; is that correct? 15:40:03 15:40:06 15:40:13 5 for hearsay. 15:37:37 5 A. Yes, sir. 15:40:13 6 THE WITNESS: To me, it looks like it gives the 15:37:37 Q. And if you turn to the second page there, about 7 minimum requirements of how a manual should be prepared. 15:37:41 7 two-thirds or three-quarters of the way down that list, 8 BY MR. GALIHER: 15:37:44 8 it says, "MIL-T-15071 technical manuals for mechanical 15:40:13 15:40:17 15:40:20 9 Q. Okay. And just so we are clear, this 15:37:44 9 and electrical equipment." Is that this very same 15:40:26 10 specification is called for and must be complied with 15:37:49 10 specification? 15:40:29 11 for the manufacturer of the valves that you are 12 manufacturing; is that correct? 15:37:54 11 15:37:57 12 A. Yes, sir. Q. So it would seem to apply to that one as well? 15:40:30 15:40:30 13 MR. HUGO: Objection; calls for hearsay, lacks 15:37:58 13 MR. HUGO: Same objections. 15:40:33 14 foundation. 15 THE WITNESS: If this manual is called out in 16 the specification as the technical manual specification, 17 this is the manual that I would say you'd have to write 15:38:03 14 15:38:03 15 15:38:06 16 15:38:08 17 BY MR. GALIHER: Q. Then on Exhibit A, which was the 1958 -- pardon me -- 1968 revision, November 12,1968, ifyou go to the eighth page, page 8 at the bottom, middle, and the 15:40:35 15:40:35 15:40:48 15:40:59 18 the manual to. 15:38:13 18 second paragraph says, "Manuals." 15:41:12 19 BY MR. GALIHER: 20 Q. Okay. We are on the same page. No pun 21 intended. We'll get there. 15:38:14 19 15:38:15 20 15:38:17 21 Do you see that? A. Yes, sir. Q. It says, "Manuals shall be furnished in 15:41:13 15:41:15 15:41:16 22 So our Exhibits 21 and 22, can you take a look 15:38:19 22 accordance with type 1 of MIL-M-15071." 15:41:19 23 at those? Are those still in front of you? Those were 24 the earlier specifications for the valves. 25 A. I got a little blurry for a minute. 15:38:25 23 15:38:28 24 15:38:36 25 Again, is that this very specification we are talking about? MR. HUGO: Objection; calls for hearsay, lacks 15:41:25 15:41:27 15:41:28 Page 186 Page 188 1 Q. That'sfine. That'sfine. Let's look at 2 Exhibit 21 first. 15:38:39 1 15:38:51 2 foundation, calls for speculation. THE WITNESS: It's calling for this 15:41:31 15:41:33 3 Is that the first one? Well, 21, this is 15:38:53 3 specification. 15:41:34 4 November 19,1958. And ifyou go to the second page, 15:39:02 4 BY MR. GALIHER: 15:41:36 5 page 2, about three-quarters of the way down where it 15:39:06 5 Q. To be adhered to or applied in making the 15:41:36 6 says "MIL-M-15071 manual" -- do you see that? 15:39:15 6 valve? 15:41:39 7 A. Yes, sir I do. 15:39:20 7 A. Adhered to or applied, but not necessarily that 15:41:39 8 Q. -- does that appear to be this very 15:39:21 8 particular revision. I don't -- 15:41:40 9 specification? 15:39:24 9 Q. I understand that. I understand, but we are 15:41:41 10 MR. HUGO: Objection; lacksfoundation and 15:39:25 10 still talking there was a specification that dealt with 15:41:44 11 calls for speculation. 15:39:26 11 this that Leslie was required to comply with; is that 15:41:47 12 THE WITNESS: Yes, sir, it does. 15:39:27 12 correct? 15:41:50 13 BY MR. GALIHER: 15:39:28 13 A. Yes, sir. Required to write a manual. 15:41:50 14 Q. Okay. So your interpretation of that as 15:39:29 14 Q. Now, I want to direct your attention to our 15:41:52 15 building the valves at Leslie, you would be required to 15:39:32 15 Exhibit --1 believe it's 23 --1 just had marked. 15:41:56 16 comply with this -- is that correct? -- as part of this 15:39:36 16 That is that specification that was issued 10 15:41:58 17 specification? 15:39:38 17 September 1957 that superseded the 16 August 1954. 15:42:05 18 MR. HUGO: Same objections. 15:39:39 18 Do you see that? 15:42:11 19 THE WITNESS: If we were asked to write a 15:39:40 19 A. Yes, sir. 15:42:12 20 manual. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. 15:39:41 20 Q. And I want to direct your attention to page 17 15:42:14 21 BY MR. GALIHER: 15:39:44 21 of that. I have 17 in the lower right-hand corner of 15:42:16 22 Q. Sure. We've looked at earlier manuals today 15:39:45 22 mine. And up at the top, it says, "Wording." 15:42:46 23 that Leslie wrote; is that correct? 15:39:47 23 A. Yes, sir. I see that. 15:42:50 24 A. Yes, sir. 15:39:49 24 Q. And this is describing the wording that should 15:42:51 25 Q. And likewise, if we go to Exhibit 22, that is 15:39:49 25 be followed to comply with this specification, and it 15:42:55 Page 187 Page 189 48 (Pages 186 to 189) A309C8E MATTHEW WROBEL DECEMBER 1, 2009 1 indicates that it should be concise and readily 15:43:02 1 warning there as it appears on the specification, that 15:45:20 2 understandable to relatively inexperienced personnel 3 involved in the operation and maintenance of their 4 equipment; is that correct? 15:43:05 15:43:08 15:43:11 2 3 4 that's exactly what it was trying to impart, that kind of important information to a technician that was doing maintenance on Leslie equipment; is that correct? 15:45:23 15:45:26 15:45:29 5 A. That's what it says, sir. 15:43:13 5 A. Yes, sir. 15:45:32 Q. So it would supply technicians with sufficient 15:43:15 6 Q. With respect to asbestos, Leslie never issued a 15:45:33 7 information to install, operate, service, and maintain 8 the equipment at peak performance; is that correct? 9 A. That's what it states, sir. 15:43:19 15:43:24 15:43:27 7 8 9 warning like this about asbestos, did it? A. I've never seen a warning about asbestos in any manual. 15:45:39 15:45:42 15:45:50 10 Q. And then going down to the next paragraph 15:43:28 10 Q. And Leslie never told the technicians that were 11 towards the end that says "WARNING," in capitals saying 15:43:32 11 working on their Leslie valves or any of their Leslie 12 "Operating procedures, practices, etc, which will result 15:43:36 12 steam equipment to avoid breathing asbestos dust; is 15:45:51 15:45:58 15:46:05 13 in personal injury or loss of life if not correctly 15:43:41 13 that correct? 15:46:08 14 followed." 15 Do you see that? 16 A. Yes, sir. 17 Q. So that was a requirement by the specification 15:43:46 14 15:43:46 15 15:43:47 16 15:43:47 17 A. I've never seen that in any manual. MR. GALIHER: That's all the questions we have. Thank you. MR. HUGO: Hold on. Sorry. I've got a few 15:46:08 15:46:14 15:46:15 15:46:15 18 when Leslie was manufacturing these valves, when they 15:43:50 18 more. If you pass that back to me. Picking up on 15:46:18 19 were writing these technical manuals; is that correct? 20 MR. HUGO: Objection; calls for hearsay, lacks 21 foundation. 15:43:55 19 15:43:57 20 15:44:02 21 Exhibit 14, it had a -- the document in front of you, pass that back to me. Thank you. FURTHER EXAMINATION 15:46:21 15:46:28 15:46:28 22 THE WITNESS: It's a requirement -- I'm sorry. 15:44:02 22 BY MR. HUGO: 15:46:28 23 MR. HUGO: Go ahead. 24 THE WITNESS: It's a requirement that's imposed 25 by this specification. "If operating procedures, 15:44:04 23 15:44:04 24 15:44:10 25 Q. Exhibit 14, it had a warning regarding a flammable solvent. Do you know if Leslie or the Navy included that 15:46:29 15:46:32 15:46:33 Page 190 Page 192 1 practices, et cetera" -- they'd have to put a warning 2 there -- "which would result in personal injury or loss 3 of life." 15:44:14 15:44:18 15:44:21 2 3 language, put that language into the manual?

So with respect to our earlier exhibits 15:44:22 5 MR. HUGO: All right. Let's find that 15:46:54 6 today, we had a technical manual that Leslie prepared 7 for air priority valve --1 believe it was Exhibit 14, 15:44:25 15:44:30 7 document. MS. WAXMAN: Ithinkit'sthatone. 15:46:56 15:47:04 8 I'll see if you recall this -- that indicated in 15:44:36 MR.

Mine looks like this. 15:47:07 15:47:09 15:47:11 12 solvent vapors." 15:44:52 12 MR. GALIHER: Is there a number on it? 15:47:22 13 Do you recall that? 14 A. Yes, sir, I do. 15 Q. Would you agree that Leslie probably complied 15:44:54 13 15:44:54 14 15:44:54 15 THEWITNESS: 14. BY MR. HUGO: Q. 14. Okay. So I've got Exhibit 14, and it 15:47:22 15:47:39 15:47:39 16 with warning the technicians here about using flammable 15:44:57 16 indicates on the back of the first page "Department of 15:47:46 17 and toxic solvents should only be done in 15:45:01 17 the Navy, Naval Ships Systems Command"; is that correct? 15:47:52 18 well-ventilated areas? 19 A. That's what that says, though I don't know if 20 that document was written in accordance with this 15:45:05 18 15:45:05 19 15:45:08 20 A. Yes, sir. Q. Do you know whether or not, and there is -before I get to that other question, there is an 15:47:55 15:47:56 15:47:58 21 document. 15:45:10 21 approval and procurement page, and there's some contract 15:48:01 22 Q. Okay. But it would appear that it was giving 23 such a warning; is that correct? 24 A. It appears that way, sir. 15:45:10 22 15:45:13 23 15:45:16 24 numbers and NAVSEA, numbers. Do you know with regard to this particular document whether Leslie or the Navy inserted this 15:48:07 15:48:12 15:48:15 25 Q. And it would appear from the definition of 15:45:17 25 wording/language under 5.2 for cleaning? 15:48:19 Page 191 Page 193 49 (Pages 190 to 193) A309C8E MATTHEW WROBEL DECEMBER 1, 2009 1 A. I have no idea, sir. I wasn't around when that 15:48:22 1 Q. Exhibit 23, that was the specification that had 15:51:10 2 was written. 3 Q. Okay. With regard to this document, which 4 you've never seen before, which is mil spec M-15071, 15:48:25 2 15:48:25 3 15:48:27 4 to be complied with when Leslie manufactured these valves; is that correct -- MR.

With respect to the specifications -- I believe 15:51:31 10 Sir, do you have an opinion as to whether any 15:48:54 10 11 operating procedures around a Leslie valve, which 15:48:57 11 12 contains either a gasket with an asbestos component or 15:49:03 12 we walked through that -- this specification of 15071 was the military specification that dictated how a technical manual should be written? 15:51:33 15:51:44 15:51:48 13 packing, will result in injury or loss of life if not 15:49:05 13 A.

HUGO: Same objections. 15:52:01 15:52:02 21 where the preamble indicated Leslie recommended 15:49:24 21 THE WITNESS: If that particular specification 15:52:03 22 insulation around the valves.

HUGO: Objection; lack of foundation, calls 15:52:32 11 Q. And you've testified before that all statements 15:50:08 11 for speculation, and hearsay. 15:52:34 12 in these technical manuals were by Leslie; is that 15:50:12 12 THE WITNESS: I believe I read that before, but 15:52:36 13 correct? 14 A. Yes, sir. We drafted them that way, but they 15:50:17 13 15:50:17 14 -BY MR. GALIHER: 15:52:38 15:52:38 15 could have been revised. 15:50:20 15 Q. Can you read it again? 15:52:39 16 Q.
