Without waiving said objection, see Exhibits I and II. According to the Company's annual cost of production accounting records, the approximate asbestos content of the insulation products formerly manufactured by the Company was as follows: Product CEMENTS: .

The company is uncertain what type of asbestos 85% Magnesia Pipe Covering and Block Insulation contained. The Company used only chrysotile asbestos in asbestoscontaining insulation products it formerly manufactured, except for O.E. Block, which contained chrysotile and amosite asbestos. The percentage of asbestos in each asbestos-containing insulation product which the Company formerly sold, but did not manufacture, may be available from the manufacturer. Answer to No. 16E See Exhibits I and II. The Company's asbestos-containing insulatipn products were intended for a number of high temperature industrial insulation applications. High temperature applications require products designed for service temperatures in excess of 800F. The products were intended to be used and handled by the insulation workers in the manner which was standard to their trade. According to presently available product brochures, which were used as sales aids and were supplied from time to time, the following were the service termperatures for the various insulation products (including protective coatings) for which information is available: Product Service Temperature Super "66" Insulating Cement to 1800F "43" Finishing Cement to 1000#F Fireproofing Cement to 2000F One-Cote Finishing Cement to 1200F 15(b) *3 0 * C 3 CO n a0 a0 C ft w ft ST N 3 h- ^5*8 T9 S ft ft Q&S ft H H> 0 3 ft ft M0 c- ft K>0 ft 03 ** 6 0 ft *i 0H 3*< aa ft 0 w n3 * aa > *ft 73 5 n ft * - 0 *0 3 me >o hi -4 0 N) ft ft e h ft & : 3 a s 0 ft 3 vO n ft ft 3 rt 0 W cn *h vO vO *-0 < 3 0ft a ai n SOI ft 3 t**3 2 6 K t ft h* fi ft * ft 0O 00 ft ! . ft 73 3 H ft t- fi I ** 00 n it i* ** h- 3 KvO h O 3 ft ft 25 3* 3 ft ft ae rt 21 ts 3 >< ft O' H ft * ft h* ft 2 06 ft >- h* ft ft nM 0< at 3* 3 o 9 3* 3 * iQ 3 tft o ft o0 ft ft ft 3 ft ft 3 ft b+ >3 VO ** at H vO vO ^4 0V wn irg 3e ft *1 fi a & 0 tft ft M 0 S' 30 _2 2 01 3 ft 3* 3* ft ^ 0 ft ft ft ft 0* hi * ft 3 ft H* H ft t% 3* 0_ 0o ft 0 ft 0 ft H 3 ift HI 0 H H* 3 a s H n> ft l. 5f 33 ft r* 0 3 % *3 0 n 19 0 3& 9 00 0 3 H- H a ft OK *0 . 2 O t- ft ft e 0 &0 M yr 19 _ >* m O 0 (t H* t- 3*3vO n *9* r* * 3 C rr <0 r*9 9 lS r** a>ig 39 a <3 r- a n rt 9 9 3 _ 3 IT a 9 rr e >* 0 n 933 9 a r ft r> fr O 33 <0 * 0 r* 3 n 9 rr e<< ao rr rr O -0'S 3 7 0 3*0 3 H- C ft Ota & * 3* ft p+ o H*< HI < ft "IJIIflllSfl - 3 o >-* * * h OM|i7a <7>m * rr 3 vo e ^ 3 9 S c ?| (5 rt rr e* rr 9 03 0 rr Z * t 9 it v< o e * * r- rr* 9 1 & >0 * 3 3 9 903 <nrrr>Z uiHrte s * 0 13- 3 0 *0 H a 3 x- >-rr 30 H0 rr 3 05( * < 1110 O r *9i>tX*>icQQS--1a i>3Aror *0Ha< ^rcI0xT*t 0Qis"9* 3* a. 31 * t 2 .*") H0 0 a 3* a* 3 a NO Oi o tnO tJ H- 0 cr 0 a 3 HH7 aft 3K 9 1* 9 r- 9 B & H)t X rr * r* t- o 0 0 rr 5 0 t-3 r- 9 h-0 9 3 3 S 3 rr <0 r* ft IT 0 >" 0 ft O 39 10 H 9 *0 n 0 rr 9Izs0 9i ft 3 0 3 aa o ft h* ft m ft 9 C vO ft PI *0 a H 0 N* a h ft ft i 19 3* 'ft H Hi a 3 <9 o H* 0 H o* E2 r*10 <9 0 r* * < > giafl ft H> H ft ^ ft9 3 rr 3 3 rr n rr 3 ft 0*00 ft I US H 0 5 0 0 ft 0 rr rr 9 5 0 r# 9ft ion. 9 n r* S rr 9 h> i-K 3 0 9*9 H rr 3ft W r| 9 9n,,o0> T * h- X ICO 9 3 ft 10*- 11 ^S <9s 3 O' 0s 5 g ft 3 2 [ z | ft ! 9 ft NO w o -*% tO |4 Q Q Mf1 ^ 0 ft ft K ys rt e of H> ft s 0 S 0 tt* 1* H ft h <t m h 0 a a so ft ft H | | ft H ft m> 0 9 9 O ft ft <a h h H300 ft Q h 0 *3an* M. 3 % Aft 5 0 9 $ ft ft H ft ft h a C ft o0* IT o HI H H- Q 3S0 Ota <a ^ O O h Mft ft *9 H* O |T < H> 0 ft ft o 3a ft i2* 9W9O <0 0 0 0 *x A &&3 * 3 i*i*f3 rr s 0 0 C * 1 I 3 r* H- 9 > Z 1 IT IT 0.r*9 9 9 9 it 0 5> 0 ri a * H-ifl r* r rr rr 3* 9 * 0 0 0 K 9 9 rr 0 9 r| * 0 CL -!1* 19* 1 3 <0 a ft h a 03 2 ft ft <a 3 ft es HlS O 0H ft ft ba 3S ft t* 3 B a1 o ft a H M7J ft H> o 3 n Q3 ft 3 fftt > ft O ft ft 0o a o ft ft 3 9 a M 3 ft C H 0 ft H 0 s MV 1 g fIIl ft * f g (9 ft g H ft a '0 < n pi iO ft i 73 ft 3* ft H IH 9 a c si ft H ft ft M 3 ft 0 -9 'Ji 3f B rf 3 4 F FT 44 W 0* CA & *** Ft FT 44 Di 9 44 a-- 9-- 3 *. vC a 9* 31 a 9 y (I 4 3 *0 4 nO o t n 9 rr 0a C9 t 9 (D FT Pm >m 4 44 O' W WA VI X *'** FT FT FT 4 44 4 FT * 0H CA N) ,2 :a !<* 3 4 O 9 3 9 9 O a 4 w SA CD 4 2B 093 9a N C 9 ft -9x O M- err aa 38 9 C & 0H 4M 0) 9 --*0 H* S 9X aa o Q2 "13 Id rr 0 3* < a 0* a a t- s-o <a 96 FT 9 9 IT M FT 9 7 ItT 99 3 IT 0 9 9 IT H wo &* 8* 9 F*> W A a 9 09 * HOO 9 ht 99 n aa 9* Cek 0 a t*noiXa 3 0*O & sn ? a 9 28 3* a9 i i 9 0 *0 oe c* M * aa 9* 0* 9V a a n 3 0*0 29:5 oIT- 9 99 IT 0 a it 9 H a9 :Of r9Or r(i7t* a < F- 9 it O 9 rt m T> 0*0 3 <5 IT pm FI H 8 8-O 9 9 Sf 9 n it >m 3 0 T it a C <9 3*3* 3 T a * *t a9 9 9 H *1 9 4 99 0 9K 9 9 * rr 09 <9<P itf > 9O *i 9 a 9 IT a C s 9 O9 3* f- a 99 <94 0 F* 9*o it o n n9 9- 9 < Hft 88 .3 3a F IT si >* a 9 0 O* 3 na *8 4 0 09 9a 3*0 9 9 i an 9 & 3 m S IT F- IT IT 9e IT O 9 IT 3 F- IT 3 44 2t>n lt* (tffffS 3* a r< n a h* rr *" _ 0 r > O 1 N. r- a a o g, a o ?n 3*0 > 033a r rfO D 0 3* r- 3 * M O f it X o h* V *< v z mo 0 li n 3 a rr *1 it 3 KI-0 S rr 3 ^ 3 a >a a< r rr aa n a a g ft 5 a rx aaa 3 h-K 3 rr 3 A .id T ut m sari*- a3 ea a rr s 8 rr r 0' a SIBSO rO 1 rr rr n 3 a a H it irrr S a rr 0 0 s TI3IH a 3 M>a a . a rr (l rr ^a a a mo o a sane ai i-a * a a a >* H-3KN3 3 rr. a a id ri it ,,>2a > i 3* <d o a aS x 3 M.* ff ffg J BO a * 0 r . rt o o H KT 999 *< K IT 0 m 9 *IT* 0*9 9 9> rr 4 04 9m '8 9 9 fT 39 |T 0 3 *9 rr it 99 oaa> io* r ora Oh- a r0r it o swcommaa n 8 3 |T M> 0N8 9rr*<9 W IT 19 3 |T 9*9 a 1 > a 3* O' 9 a it 2 im titM ic 1 1939/1962 l* 3 n*C9Osnr no* < <9d*3l 9 tk 9 n3 n2 f2t m*< fwt f<t nft on x a O n x* * <t * 9 9 0ft a- X 0ft x t 3K 999 -- rr ft 3* 1% f3t* *0 3 V 9na 2.0 1 ft H* 'ft ICftO3 2 * *3 rr it it IT ftO W ft9*0 * 3m H 0 WA U vu>n oSS rr $9& l 9 fi * nA 5 M * co nft *0 3 n ft it ft ft ft *2 'ft w f*ftt* ft w "fffNttt. fftt ft ft 39 5 ^ rr r- ** 03 aX ft A 9 asr f9t 9 & 1 a 7 0 . 3am ifl rr rr a *o '(03 gi fi < *0IA#ftf rr ^ o 9rr a -K rr *0 a a n o aasoa a r'rrfl X * n a.
