1 BYMR. GEORGE:
2 3
A. Yes. Q. And so one of the remedies for that
2 Q. Therewas asubsequent patent 3 applied for by researchers at Ammco, butat this

is to change the diameter of the half round brakes so in fact they meet the inner dimensions of the
4 point they nowhave the handle being able tobe 5 moved upand down, as well as back and forth. Is
6 newly turned dram; correct?
6 that accurate fromwhat that--
__7 A. Correct.
7 A Justby looking aifeepicture,

14 segments?
14 A. I believeso.
1S 16
A I'm not familiar with that term. Q. Okay. The device that was offered
15 Q,, Okay, So in those patents, the 16- application Indicates thatthe very purposeof the

a small portion of that brake and change its outer diameter; correct?
21 removematerials inthoseareas so asto makethem 22 match fee drum.
2243
A. Yes, Q. And, in fact, Ammco submitted
23 24
Q. So would you agree with me.that the very purpose of creating this machine wasrio alter
25 another patent in January of 1958 fora machine 25 the dimensions ofbrake shoes that had, thatwere

GENERAL COTCTOSIONS
The major product liability exposure associated with the use or misuse of the Model Numbers 880, 890 or 8000 brake shoe grinders and the Model No. 1250 brake assembly washer is-the potential of personnel operating these machines to inhale asbestos fibers present in the environment as a result of the brake grinding Dr brake washing operation.
Ammeo has recently developed a new dust collection system for the brake grinders, which is designed to provide a more effective system of dust collection and to reduce the potential for operator exposure to asbestos fibers. However, the ultimate effectiveness of this dust collection system is, to a large degree, dependent upon the customer properly_installing, oper ating, and maintaining both the dust collection, system as well as the brake shoe grinder,
The primary way in which an operator could be exposed to asbestos dust while using the brake assembly washer is by failing to purge the air from the system when the washer has not been used for an extended period of time. There is also some product liability exposure associated with the potential for the customer to misuse the product by using flammable solvents or gasoline in the unit to wash other automotive parts, rather than the detergent solution. These exposures can most effectively be addressed through instructional material provided on or with the product.
It is extremely important that Ammeo provide adequate instruc tional material and sufficiently warn the customer of the proper installation, use and maintenance of their equipment, as well as the consequences of improper use, installation or maintenance.
Much of this report is concerned with additional measuresAmmeo can take in both the warning information on the product itself and the maintenance and installation instructions which . are provided in pamphlet form with the product. Such infor mation serves two purposes -- it can reduce the number o-f incidents in the field by better informing personnel who use these products of the proper use and maintenance of the products, and can serve as evidence of Ammco's efforts to fulfill their "duty to warn" of the proper installation, use, and maintenance of the products, as well as the consequences of misuse of 'these products. This can greatly assist in ftmmco1s "defense should there be allegations of product defects related to a 'failure to warn.

X. PRODUCT LINES
Models 880. 890 and 8000 Brake State. Grinders - These machines basically function to automatically grind automotive brake shoes in order that the shoe Sits the curvature of the brake arum. Models 880, 890 and S0Q0 differ only in the type d> ' clamp which is utilized to hold the shoe in place during the grinding operation. The Model 890 is provided with a Model Number 8250 fixed anchor brake shoe clamp, the Model 880 is provided with a 'Model Number 8150 cam action brake shoe clamp, and the Model 8000 is provided with a Model Number S050 universal brake shoe clamp. These products are normally used by car dealers, independent garages, service stations, brake specialists, tire dealers, or other fa-oilities -who custom grind brake shoes- to match a specific set of brake drums. The machines all bear the Underwriters Laboratories listing mark. f The primary product liability exposure associated with the j brake shoe grinders is the fact that brake lining material I is normally fabricated from an asbestos compound, and during / the grinding operation there is a possibility of introducing j asbestos fibers into the air. The operator operating the L/J^uipment could conceivably breathe these fibers, Ammco has '" addressed this potential hazard through a dust collection system which, if properly installed and maintained, is designed to protect the operator from breathing asbestos fibers. .The system operates primarily by a blower which takes the material ground off the brake shoes and conveys this to a disposable plastic bag for removal. This system represents an improved version of a dust collection system. The new dust collection system was initially marketed for retrofitting on existing machines, but is now also standard equipment on all brake grinders. The old version of the dust collection system consisted of a fabric bag which had to be emptied by the machine operator when it was filled to a certain level and then reinstalled on the machine. The new system, which is now standard on all brake grinders, consists of a disposable plastic bag which fits into a metal canister. The disposable bag is fabricated from a heavy gauge, red plastic and is marked with the wording "CAUTION - Contains Asbestos Fibers - Avoid Creating Lust - Breathing Oust May Cause Serious Bodily Harm. " The metal canister has holes in the bottom, so that if the customer attempted to use the dust collection system without the plastic bag installed, the grinding dust would fall an the floor.

Model 1250 Brake Assembly Washer - The Model 1250 assembly washer is intended to enable a mechanic to wash the entire brake shoe assembly without causing asbestos fibers to-enter the air. This system was developed as an alternative to the practice which has been in wide use by brake mechanics of blowing the asbestos dust from the brake shoes by means of compressed 'air prior to beginning work on the brake assemblies. This practice .tends to create a great deal of asbestos dust in the air. The Model 1250 brake assembly washer consists of a gun assembly and a wash pan assembly. Basically, the operation consists of spraying a detergent solution over the brake drum to wet down the brake parts and allow the dust and asbestos fibers to fall suspended in water into the wash pan assembly.
Although the brake assembly washer is a product intended to reduce the potential hazards associated with cleaning the asbestos particles from the brake assembly, there is still some product liability exposure associated with the use of the system. Por example, when the washer has not been in use over an extended period of time, the detergent fluid will drain into the sump, and there will be some initial air coming out of the gun prior to the solution. This could result in asbestos dust being blown around the area: This situation is addressed in the brake assembly washer operating and assembly instructions included as Illustrations 1 and 1 of this report.
In addition, there is some liability exposure associated with the potential misuse of the brake assembly -washer in that this product could be used with flammable solvents for parts washing and degreasing. This is an undesirable application, partic ularly since- there is no cover provided over the top of the
wash pan assembly.
`
Warning Labels
Models 8BO, S9Q and 8000 Brake shoe Grinders - There are several warning" labels-provided on the brake shoe grinders. The label . included as Illustration 3 of this report is provided on the top of the abrasive belt guard. The label included as Illus tration 4 of this report is provided on the metal ring and guard assembly of the dust collection system. The label included as Illustration 5 of this report is riveted to the main base assembly of the brake shoe grinder.

In addition, there are several precautionary and instructional tags -which are provided on each brake grinder. Illustrations S and 7 represent the caution tag -which, is provided to indicate operating voltage fox which the grinder is factory wired. Illustrations 8 and 9 represent-the motor manufacturer's recommendations for installation, running overload protection, lubrication, and sizing of branch circuit conductors.
Model 1250 Brake Assembly Washer ~ At the present time, there are no precautionary or warning labels, provided on the brake -assembly-washer. We recommend that such a label be developed, and include several items:
1. The brake washer assembly utilizes a nonflammable detergent solution in water. Ammco sells packets of detergent to be added to one gallon quantities of water. Because of the utility and simplicity of the brake assembly washer, it may be attractive for service or maintenance personnel using the equipment for parts washing to substitute a petroleum base solvent for the detergent, Such solvents would act as a more effective degreasing agent and be used to clean other parts or for other applications in the service area. Although the present instructions for this unit include a cautionary statement indicating "DO NOT USE GASOLINE OR FLAMMABLE SOLVENTS," such a statement is not marked on -the product itself. It is recommended that a cautionary label be developed and applied to the unit. The content or wording of such a label should be similar to the wording which is
1 presently contained on the-back of the assembly- and operating instructions, included as Illustration 2 of this report.
2. It is not uncommon for the brake drums to be corroded
to th e w h eel hub and stu d assem b ly, r e q u ir in g th a t th e
drum be hit with the hammer in order to loosen it prior to removal. These striking blows to the drum can often create significant amounts of dust, i t is recommended that the warning label for the brake assembly washer include instructions for the ^user to wet down the entire brake drum assembly with the solution prior to removal of the brake drum itself.

3. in addition, it is recommended that the warning label placed on the wash pan assembly caution the user regarding the necessity to start the pumping action by aiming the gun into the pan and depressing the trigger, prior to commencing washing of the brake assembly.
For a warning label to be effective, it is important that the label remain legible throughout the life of the product on. which it is applied. The warning label on the abrasive belt guard (Illustration 3) is coated with a plastic film, while the label on the dust collector (Illustration 4} is fabri cated from uncoated paper. We .recommend that Airmco- carefully evaluate the.various types of labels, inks, and adhesives available, and select the type ox label^which exhibits the .. optimum durability over an extended period Of time. *".

XI . EHGIJSERING
In an effort, to evaluate the effectiveness -of the new dust collection system in controlling the emissions of asbestos fibers from the brake grinders, Ammco recently hired an independent consulting firm to measure the extent to which an operator is exposed to asbestos when operating the brake shoe grinding machine. Tests were performed on both a well maintained unit and a poorly maintained unit. The test report for these tests concluded that "asbestos concentrations as determined do seem to indicate that the present OSHA ceil ing limits would not be exceeded during brake dressing on a properly maintained brake shoe grinder.11
Ammco has recently instituted some changes to the new dust collection system on the brake shoe grinders. The plastic dust collection bag has been decreased in size. Originally, a standard size plastic bag was utilized, but this bag was too large, and the installation of the oversize bag could result in a bunching of the plastic bag around the outer rim of the metal collection drum. This could result in small gaps around the rubber gasket where the drum is fastened to the underside of the collection system's fabric bag, resulting in emissions of asbestos fibers during operation of the machine. Ammco has discontinued the use o f 'this larger bag and now supplies a smaller bag designed specifically for the dust collection system, eliminating the problem of the colblection bag bunching up. Ammco has also recently developed an arbor plug for use on its Models 380, 890 and 8000 brake shoe grinders, The purpose cf this plug is to prevent brake shoe dust build-up in the arbor and to improve the air flow through the abrasive belt guard to -the dust collection system. The installation in struction sheet for the arbor plug is included as Illustration 12 of this report.

III, QUALITY CONTROL
When each brake shoe grinder is completely assembled, each unit is calibrated by adjusting the settings for specific shoe sizes. In addition, each unit is tested, but this test consists basically of operating the unit to verify that the motor is electrically operable. A log is kept of the serial numbers for each unit versus the motor si2 e and type which is provided, as there are several different motors available for the brake shoe grinders. It is at this final inspection point that all appropriate warning labels are put on the units, and the units are tagged with the tags which normally are put on the unit. The service and-maintenance information is put along with the unit into the packing crate.
Aside from the log of serial numbers which is kept, there is
no record kept of the calibration or quality control in spection or tests which are p e r f o r m e d W e recommend that Ammco develop a quality control checklist to be used as a
final check on the assembly of tha brake shoe grinders. This

IV. ASSEMBLY M D OPSRATIM~G INSTRUCTIONS
Brake Assembly Washer Model 1250
The brake assembly washer is presently being provided with the assembly and operating instructions included as Illustrations 1 and 2 of this report. As discussed earlier in this report, it is not uncommon fcr a brake mechanic to hammer on a~ corroded drum to attempt to loosen it prior to removal of the drum for servicing the brakes. These striking blows to the drum can create significant amounts of dust, and asbestos particles inside the brake assembly can be blown into the air. This fact was borne out by the analysis conducted by the independent test laboratory. He recommend that the brake assembly washer instructions be modified to include an initial step in the process Where the entire brake drum assembly is wetted down with solution prior to removal of the brake drum itself. This should be depicted in the instructions by means of a photograph, as well as written copy. In addition, a separate set of cautionary instructions should be included on this instruction sheet. These precautionary instructions should precede the operating instructions and should be printed in red or some other brightly contrasting color for emphasis. The following areas should be emphasized in the set of precautionary or safety instructions!
1. The fact that the entire brake drum should be wetted U down prior to removal of the drum.
2. The fact that the user should assure that the pumping action of the detergent solution has been started prior to aiming the gun, into the brake assembly.
3. The fact that the brake assembly washer should never be used with gasoline or other flammable solvents.
Models 8B0, 890 and 8000 Brake Shoe Grinders
At the present time, the Models S80, 890 and 8000 brake shoe grinders are provided with an "Operating Instructions and Parts Identification" manual. This manual is an 8% x. 11 brochure which is some 12 pages long and is intendea_to be kept in a loose leaf binder by the customer.

NATLSCO National Loss Control Service Corporation
It is extremely important that this manual effectively
communicate the proper operation and maintenance procedures far the brake shoe grinders, since, to a large degree,-the effectiveness of the dust collection system in controlling the asbestos dust exposure is dependent upon proper in stallation and maintenance of the system. In addition, it is important that ftmmco warn the user not only of the proper procedures and steps- to be taken in operating and maintaining the equipment, but also of the consequences of the user not following these instructions. We have reviewed the present. manual referenced above {flmmco Publication No. 8818-6-761 and have the following recommendations for additional infor mation and revisions to the manual:
1, It is recommended that the inside front cover of the manual have a set of safety instructions printed in red or some other brightly contrasting color and entitled "IMPORTANT." .These instructions should be a summary of the information presently dispersed throughout the manual related to the proper use and maintenance of the dust collection system, as well as other precautions which must be taken to assure . the environmental safety of'the individual operator. The areas addressed in these safety instructions should include, but not be limited to, the following;
a) A statement indicating that breathing asbestos dust may cause serious bodily harm.
b) >
A statement indicating that the dust collection system must be properly cleaned and maintained for continued safe operation.
a) A statement indicating that the grinder should never be operated without the disposal bag properly installed.
d) A statement indicating that only Ammco replace ment bags should be used.
e) A statement cautioning the user to only use Ammco abrasive belts.
f) A statement cautioning the user not to remove more than .005" on any one cut.

2. Page 3 of the manual should illustrate the new dust collection, system, which we understand is now standard on all models In addition, the appropriate instruc tions for this dust collection system'{see Illustra tions 10 and 11) should also be included on Page 3.
3, Page 4 of the manual contains instructions for replacing the abrasive belt, which actually does the grinding of the braJcB shoe material. Replacement of this belt requires removal of the cylindrical abrasive belt guard* In addition to protecting the user from accidental contact with the grinding surface of the machine, the guard housing serves as a means for collecting the asbestos dust from the grinding operation before it is sucked into the collection bag. Therefore, the. abrasive belt guard is somewhat critical to the safe operation of the machine, we recommend that the instructions for replacing the abrasive belt include a step advising the user to replace the abrasive guard after the belt has been installed. This should be shown both graphically and also indicated in the copy of the instructions.
4. Page 4 of. the manual also includes some lubrication instructions for the machine, as well as a paragraph statingi "In general, keep a clean work area. For your environmental safety, do not allow asbestos dust to accumulate anywhere but in the Amrnca dust bag or in closed containers." It is recommended that this para graph be highlighted by printing in a different color, printing in bold print, or some other graphic technique
" in order to emphasize its importance. In addition, the . paragraph Should include a statement to the effect that any accumulation of dust could be ah indication that the dust collection system is either not functioning properly or the dust collection bag needs to be changed.
5, Page 4 of the Introduction Manual includes a set of statements under the general head ing "CAUTIONS ." These cautionary statements should also be highlighted by means of contrasting color, bold print, or other graphic techniques. In addition, it is recommended that the Statement "DO NOT REMOVE MORE THAN ,005 INCHES ON ANY ONE COT - MORE WILL ONLY SLOW THE MOTOR AND REDUCE DUST COLLECTION EFFICIENCY" be expanded to provide a more specific indication of the consequences of having reduced dust collection efficiency and the potential dangers associated with asbestos dust.

6. Page S of the Instruction Manual contains, general operating instructions. The right-hand column on this page begins with the heading "GRINDING t h e SHOE: BEFORE STARTING THE MOTOR.,.," Xt is recommended that this.section of the instructions he expanded to include
" some copy indicating that the operator should verify that the dust collection system, as well as the abrasive belt guard/ are properly installed on the machine prior to starting the motor.
7. Pages 6 through 11 of the manual are basically replace ment parts lists and illustrations. When the manual is revised, the parts list should include the new dust collection system parts, including the replacement bags. These bags are a heavy-gauge red plastic, designed and sized specially for the brake shoe washer, and include a cautionary statement. Because these bags are quite similar to commonly available plastic trash collection bags, it is foreseeable that the user of the machine would substitute such bags rather than order the proper bags through Ammco. It is recommended that the re placement parts portion of the manual include a statement to the effect that the bags have been specially designed for use with the asbestos dust collection system and other bags should not be sub-
stituted,
8. At the present time, the motor manufacturer's installation, running overload protection, lubrication, and branch cir cuit conductor sizing instructions axe included on a tag
- which is attached to the brake shoe grinders when they are "shipped to the customer, We believe that it is highly likely that this tag will be discarded once the machine is installed. Since the tag contains important information "related to the safe use and operation of the equipment, it is recommended that the motor manufacturer's information be duplicated and provided as part of Ammco's assembly and operating instructions manual.

8 A. ! don't knowthat. 9 Q. Okay. Again, I'd probably want to go
8 Q. Okay. And when you were helping to 9 assemble the documents for the.deposition
10 to Mr, Chasteen orMr. Newton?
10 today, can you tell me why it Is that you
11 A. I would thinkMr. Chasteen
11 selected Exhibit 4 to be included?
12 Q. Okay. I'm going to markas Exhibit 12 A. At the time we pulled documents, which

(Exhibit 4, Instruction Sheet, so marked.)
15 Q. Okay. And does Exhibit 4 contain any 16 warnings or cautions of any kind regarding
17 18
Q. Why don't you tell me what Exhibit 4 is. I don't want to call it something that
17 health hazards associated with asbestos? 18 A. There's one caution that tells the

19 operator to empty the dust bag daily. That's
20 21
A. This wasjust aninstructionsheetfor the 2000 shoe grinder,
20 the only reference. 21 Q. Okay. That caution that you just
22 23
Q, Model 2000? A. Yes.
22 referred to, that doesn't use the word 23 "asbestos," though, does it?
24 Q. Can you tell from Exhibit4, Isthere 24 A. No.

accumulate the documents thatwere produced today?
5 being ground offthe brake linings; is that 6 right?
7 A Yes. 8 Q. Okay. Thesewere ail located among
j_ 7 A Correct 8 Q. And backin 1960 whatwere thebrake

15 16
A Yes.
15 Q. Okay, When you Joined AMMCOin 1975,
Q. And I think you told me thesameAMMCO 16 were you aware at that time, yourself, that
17 18
facility kept going on with business; yon kept working, they retained the AMMCO name; is that
17 18
brake linings were made still, in part, out of asbestos?
19 20
right? A Yes.
19 A. Yes. 2 Q. Okay. And I thinkyou --well,we'H
21 22
Q. So there-s a lot of fine print on Exhibit 4, and I'm going to spare everybody

23 24
from having to read it ail, but can you basically tell me--you called it an

sample was removed to expose the entire area' of the filter during sample collection. Air was drawn through the filter at 2.0 liters pe r minute, and the sampling media w a s positioned as close as possible to the breathing zone of the exposed employee, except
for the general 'area samples which we re positioned at indicated locations, at approximate breathing zone height unless otherwise noted in the tables.
.Subsequent to collection, the filters were, brought to the HATDSCQ Environmental Sciences laboratory where fibers were counted on
the filters using phase contrast microscopy techniques at a magni fication of 450. The KATLSCQ Environmental' Sciences' laboratory
is accredited by the American Industrial Hygiene Association -and licensed by the tr,S. Department of Health, Education, and W e l f a r e 's Center for Disease Control.
The Time-Weighted Average Exposure was. calculated using the for mula t
C t T i fr C 9 T ? + Ts
CnTn
Where C represents the contaminant concentration, T th sampling
time at that concentration, and Ts represents the total sampling
time.
.
The conditions under Which air sampling was conducted is defined as follows ;
Work room:
60'1 H x 38'6" x 19 '4" (height)
or 44,727 ft.3 All doors and bays closed ' Ventilation in the room consisted of recirculating warm air through 2 warm air returns mounted about 10 feet above the floor.
2- Grinders;
Two Model 880 brake shoe grinders were used, both equipped with Model 8150 earn action brake shoe clamp, and the Model 8925 Dust Collection system. It is felt that air sampling results would ha ve
be similar with the.other grinders (Model 890 and 8000) since they differ only in the type of
brake shoe clamp employed. The sanding drums bn each grinder rotated at 3450 rpm. The-grinders were positioned a few feet apart on `the south
side of the room
.The "poorly maintained" brake shoe grinder was
several years old, and had been used considerably. The inner plastic 'collection bag of the 8925 dust
VV.iWi V U - J
fNJAalTioLtiSdCl OUw- sCml>l ,Service CoiDOraliun
mmco Tools, Inc. North Chicago, Illinois Page Three
collection system was about h a l f full. The bag was oversized, and as .a .result was bunched in spots around the outer rim of the metal collection drum. As a result, small gaps were present around the-rubber gasket where the drum is fastened to the underside of the collection system fabric bag. It was observed that puffs of dust were blown out from around the gasket during start-up of the poorly maintained grinder.
The "well maintained" grinder was about th .same age, but the dust collection system had been cleaned, and a fresh, unused plastic bag was apparently carefully fitted in the Dust collection ' System. No dust was observed to have been blown out through the gasket junction of the drum and fabric hag during operation.
3. Comparison Grinder tests:
(See attached tables) General area air samples w e r e duplicated -on both . . grinders during same typical dressing of brake shoes; In addition, samples were duplicated during . the destroying of.brake linings. In all, about 16 total grindings we re made, on eight different shoes, at each of the two brake shoe grinders. In the opinion of the operator, this represented a good day's w o r k in a typical garage.-.
4. Other grinder tests:
In addition to the above tests, follow up air samples were, taken on the "poorly maintained" grinder after the dust collection bag was replaced and the metal collection drum was washed. A test was attempted with the collection system disconnected, but this was terminated w h e n it became apparent that large amounts of dust and fibers would accumu late in the air when shoe grinding was done.
5. Grinder operator personal exposure;
During operation of both grinders, personal samples to evaluate operator exposure to asbestos fibers were taken. The time weighted average exposure for the sampling' period was calculated for the operator based on the results of each-set of samples taken at the "poorly maintained* and "well maintained" grinders.

Air samples to determine area concentrations of, and personal exposure to, asbestos fibers was done during the use of the m o d e l 1250 Brake Assembly Washer -with the #1256 Brake Washer. Con centrate. . lhe car (a late 6 0 1s model Chevrolet) was located on the lift in the same workroom, about 20 feet diagonally northwest of the brake shoe grinders. This test was considered a good example of a set of wheels in poor shape, with heavy corrosion and a large deposit of ground material contained in each wheel.
DISCUSSIOH
The samples taken during destruction of brake shoe linings showed that during such abuse, Significant fiber concentrations were generated in the operator's breathing zone, as well as in the general area.
Based on visual observations made during the aborted te.st during grinding, w i th the Dust Collection System detached, it is advised that these brake shoe grinders always be employed with the. use of such a System. Excessive airborne asbestos fiber levels could be generated in the absence of the Dust Collection System.
Based o n visual observation made during brake washing, it is advised that the outside of the wheel be wetted if possible before -hitting it to disloge corrosion around the brake cover. Considerable airborne suspended particulate was generated when the wheel brake covers were struck, before the inside was washed.
Respectfully submitted.
