ATI-129 The ATI Textile display is at Alfred University but we are hopeful it can be moved to Stevens Institute in Hoboken, N.J. soon. Mr* Sunbury is currently sending out a publicity letter to additional col leges and universities offering them the exhibit. Several additional situations concerning extremely low priced Japan ese made Asbestos Textiles have been reported. Both poor and good quality textiles have been noted. Prices range from .42/# to approx. .74/# dependent on grade. One order in the 25,000 lb. category was reported. It is the opinion of the committee, it is unrealistic to expect any governmental relief on foreign competition of this type. The committee wishes to record in the minutes of this meeting the publication of the 3rd Edition of the Handbook of Asbestos Textiles. Much favorable reaction has been received as to the revisions made and the general appearance and character of the book. The printer, we felt, did a fine printing job at a very favorable price. Mr. Howard Bain has been thanked and paid for his excellent work as editor. . The Sales Promotion Committee took affirmative action to initiate a program of planned publicity in promoting the sale of Asbestos Tex tiles on a broad industry basis. A special committee approved by the President will meet with several sales promotion organizations to acquaint them with our needs and have them prepare proposals for presentation at the next ATI meeting. The committee has not at this stage asked for Board of Governors* approVal inasmuch as no costs have been established. We were unani mous in opinion, however, that the cost of a well thought out pro gram can be justified. A discussion took place as to the need for a broad industry study of combinations of asbestos and the newer synthetic fibres to impart special qualities to fabric. In addition, the study will include chemical treatments of various types of yarns and woven textiles to improve the usefulness of the asbestos textile. recognized there is a growing tendency towards this need for gaining greater acceptance for asbestos textiles.

Cralley of the Department of Health, Education and Wel fare reported that the in-plant rhase of their study of the asbestos textile industry would be completed by fall of 1967. He also reported on a meeting attended by a number of independent re searchers interested in the study of the health effects of asbestos on workers in the industry. The purpose of the meeting was to reach some agreement on the areas to be explored in order to be able to correlate the findings of the various individuals. ' It was decided that it was necessary to determine the answers to questions falling into two categories, Cl) those "involving public policy and control efforts, and (2) those needed to broaden the long term base of information on the physical and chemical factors of fi brous materials as related to their interaction with minerals and man so that efforts to maintain safe working ancl living environments can be constantly re-evaluated and improved.'1 They agreed that answers are needed to the following questions in safeguarding the worker's health, yet Permitting the benefit of as bestos in today's industrial technology: 1. What is the nature and pattern of disease in workers exposed to the different forms of asbestos fibers and how do they relate to the magnitude' and duration of exposure? 2. How are the diseases and other manifestations observed in workers exposed to asbestiforro fibers characterized clinical ly and pathologically, and do they differ when exposure in volves one form of asbestos or another? PRODUCED t, MT-004885 JM - 83 ATI-129 Minutes of Meeting - February 9, 1967 - 2- 3* 'Uhat are the factors involved in the pathogenies of the diseases associated with the inhalation of asbestos miner als and what are the primary etiologic factors involved? 4. What chemical and physical characteristics of asbestos fibers relate to their respirability, mobility, clearance and immobilization in the body and how do the types of asbestos differ in these respects? 5. How can asbestos fibers in vivo and vitro be differentiated as to type and how can they be distinguished from non asbestos fibers? 6. What levels of exposure to the etiologic agents associated with asbestos-related diseases can be regarded as safe? 7* How can exposures be prevented? 8, What environmental and medical surveillance procedures are recommended where asbestos fibers are encountered .or handled? GENERAL niSCUSSIONS Rubber Aprons for Cards There was a discussion on experiences in the use of leather aprons and rubber aprons. All companies represented have used leather aprons and found it nec essary to scratch them periodically to remove the glaze in order to retain their efficiency. One company is using leather aprons at the take-off and rubber aprons at the delivery with satisfactory success. They have found it difficult to pick up the roving with rubber aprons. However, they find that the rubber aprons on the delivery side require very infrequent cleaning and do a good job of condensing the roving. Oiless Bearingsfor Cards . The possibilities of using oiless bearings on the cards to reduce or eliminate downtime was discussed. Two companies have done some re search on the matter and will exchange information. . Operating Standards There was a lengthy discussion on operating standards and their ap plication, job training and employee relations problems. - In general, job standards and allocations are comparable. It was agreed that, with the present labor market, some flexibility has to be allowed. .

Sunbury - Asbestos Textile Institute SUBJECTS DISCUSSED: Revision of ASTH Specifications Since the October meeting, the Committee met for an intermediate two day meeting December 15th. and 16th., at ASTM Headquarters, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. On Thursday, the 15th., the Committee revised and set up the 7th. Draft of D 1913. This 7th. Draft represented a great deal of thought and effort on the part of the Committee. In setting up this draft,' consideration was given to all of Dr. Srroggi recommendations, both editorially and in the equations. The equations were revised under a new concept designed to overcome the objections previously offered by Dr. Scroggie*s committee. Copies of.this draft were mailed to all members ircludir Paul Nicodemus and six copies were sent to Dr. Scroggie with the request that we obtain a response from his committee prior to the February meeting. Due to the short time interval a full committee report was not received, but a very constructive critical report, was received from Dr. Scroggie indicating that the draft was in pretty good shape. On Friday, December 16th., at this same meeting, the committee gave the same care ful consideration to D 299 and set up the 3rd. Draft. Copies of this draft were sent to all members and a copy to Dr. Scroggie with the request that we receive his personal comments prior to the February meeting since there was not enough time for his full committee report. A response was received from Dr. Scroggie on this 3rd. Draft of D 299 with many constructive criticisms indicating that considerable work would be yet required by the committee.

Draft. This draft consisted very largely in using the recommendation given by Dr. Scroggie in his above mentioned report. D 299 was revised under the bth. Draft. This was a difficult revision to make. in view of the many changes and suggestions offered by Dr. Scroggie. '1 Decision was made by the committee to send twenty-five copies of D 1918 to Paul Nicodemus for letter ballot in D-13 Subcommittee A-it and six copies to Dr. Scroggie for his Sc6 Editorial Committee. Decision was made to circulate the &th. Draft of D 299 to members only for comments The committee decided to have an intermediate meeting on May 11th. and 12th. at ASTM Headquarters in Philadelphia pending reservation of a meeting room at that tine. This meeting will be for possibly finalizing D 299 and starting on D 375 Roving. The committee briefly discussed Magnetic Rating. George Harris met with the committee briefly and the subject was discussed under the following headings* 1) Is there a requirement for asbestos textiles with an Magnetic Rating lower than 0.75 M. R.? 2) If so, is there a satisfactory method for measuring Magnetic Rating in that low range? 3) If it develops that there is such a requirement, these has been a proposal originating from A-lt Committee that a joint meeting be held between representatives from A.T.I., SSTM, (D-30 and D-13 Committees), QAMA, BuShip, and others to discuss the subject. b) A proposal was made that a Round Robin test be made between member companies who have the Turner Magnetic Analyzer.

Lake Asbestos of Quebec, Ltd. Johns-Manville Corp. Cassiar Asbestos Corp.,Ltd. Raybestos-Manhattan, Inc. Subjects Discussed 1. Mr. Dewey Childers briefly described his attempts at establishing a procedure to measure the spicule content of milled textile grade fibers. Difficulties were encountered with the mechanism designed to do the job and the project was dropped. Mr. Childers distributed drawings of the mechanism to members of the committee. 2. Mr. Streib reviewed the results of tests in his laboratory designed to measure the coefficient of friction between as bestos fibers. The project was dropped when it was found that the procedure would not discriminate between fiber grades. He plans to write a report on this work and has kindly offered to make copies available to members of the committee. - 3. Mr. Wronski reported that little was accomplished at the October 1966 ASTM D-13 meeting of Sc. A-4 on the revision of D-lllS (Magnetic Rating) except that a task force was appointed to write a revision. Mr. Wronski also reported a telephone call from Mr. Paxil Nicodemus of G.E., Chairman of Sc. A-4, offering to sponsor a meeting at which he (Mr. Nicodemxis) and interested A.T.I. members could discuss a wide range of topics relating to the magnetite content of asbestos fibers. The committee decided that such a meeting at this time would be premature and that basic data on currently used methods of measuring magnetite content shoxild be obtained before taking any further action. Consequently it was agreed that a round robin test would be set-up to measure the extent of varia tion that exists between and within various laboratories in tests for measuring the magnetite content of fibers. Mr. Streib and Mr. Wronski will be responsible for designing the round robin test program and for analyzing the results. Mr, Dodds-Hebron has agreed to plan and direct the distribution ( of samples to be used in the program. Respectfxilly submitted. J.

SE OF ASBESTOS TEgXyTILES IN INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTS " G. Ellwood Houghton, Product Engineer GARLOCK, Inc., Palmyra, N.Y. MS 005485 "From a rock it comes and to a rock it will return, and I don't v:ant no rocks on my piston rods.i " - this was the reply given by a practical engineer many years ago when approached to try asbestos packing on his steam engine. Progress has been made since that time. With the many men here today who have been closely associated with manufacture and sales of asbestos textiles, much of what is said may be very familiah, but a review of the subject may be of interest. There are many qualities in the wonderful mineral, asbestos, that make it ideally adaptable to a multitude of products and uses. No at'tempt will be made to cover the full subject, but only to high light its use. The fact that asbestos is composed of extremely fine filaments makes it a flexible rock which can be treated as a textile fiber and can be carded, spun, twisted and woven. The fineness of filament and its ability to hold lubricants, makes it a good bearing and packing material Its resistance to decomposition in air in temperatures as high as 1000 degrees "F", and at still higher levels when confined, make possible applications as shields against con vection and radiant heat, acts as a friction material, and helps seal in both gaskets and pressure packings. . Asbestos, being a "salt" of metals and silicon, has its demand for oxygen fully satisfied, therefore it will not burn. The majority of asbestos products can be made of Commercial and Underwriters grade blends. These resist decomposition up to about 400 degrees F. As temperature requirements rise, a reduction in organic supporting fiber is needed, and a corresponding increase in longer staple asbestos fiber is required to make possible the carding and spin ning of yarn. Textile Products A. Carded Asbestos Fiber is the first of the textile products and finds a number of uses, one of which is for the filtration of liq uids. Fiber, which is milled or ground to shorter staple .length, is also prepared for filtration purposes. Water, wine, cider, and chemical solutions have all used asbestos as a filter. B. Carded Batts are used as a fiber supply for other manufacturing processes. The application of insulation to wire along with a bond ing material is one of the uses for batts. C. Carded Slivers are of value because of their soft resilience. Insulation tape and cushioning for certain types of gaskets use sliver in their construction. Here is a specimen of an insulation tape to wrap on piping for steam or refrigeration protection.Sliver is twisted to form a certain type of wiclcing. MT-004891 JM - S3- ATI-129 "Use of Asbestos Textiles in Industrial Products" Page -2 D. Carded Roving is also an ingredient of some forms of wicking. In f, the warning flares that are commonly used near excavations, asbestos wickirtg is used for the flame. Wicking finds use mainly as a caulk ing material in pipe joints. Asbestos rope is formed by twisting multiple strands of wicking together. For hard rope, a bonding cement is used within the rope. This is also used as caulking material. Large covers and door jams are sealed with rope usually seated in a groove around the periphery. Pope has been utilized as a leader in hot locations such as at the drying rolls of a paper machine or festoon dryers. Service cords for toaster and electric irons are often insulated with asbestos roving wrapped around and cush ioning the rubber covered wires. An outer jacket of durable cotton or other yarn is braided over the asbestos roving. Reinforced rovings with glass, cotton or other fine yarns are also made. Marine and Kavy cables use reinforced roving as cushioning insulation. E, Asbestos Yarn may also be found on service cords for electrical appliances, host of you have made repairs to your gas mantles either on camp lanterns or possibly on the post light that many people have in front of their house now-a-days. The mantle is held in place by a piesce of asbestos yarn. One type of corrugated metal gasket uses asbestos cord cemented in concentric rings in the valleys of the corrugations on both sides of the metal. This provides an effect ive seal when clamped between flanges, particularly if the surface cf the flanges are rough or untrue. The packing industry uses quantities of asbestos yarn in braid and cloth. 1 It might be interesting here to relate the starting of our company. Packing plants are best known for the packaging of meats and veg etables. Mechanical packings often are foreign to the laymen. ' About 80 years ago. Mr. Olin J. Garlock was a young engineer- of a stationary steam engine. Considerable attention was required to keep the steam from leaking past the stuffing box. At one time, he cut some rings from an old rubber-fabric transmission belt. He lubri cated and graphited them before installing the stuffing box. The new rings worked so well that he started cutting rings and peddled them in nearby factories. With the help of a few men, they started manufacturing and grew into the Garlock Packing Company. The need for asbestos soon became realized as the field for packings enlarged. P. Braided Rings form a very satisfactory packing for rotary as well as reciprocating pumps. Braid readily deforms under gland pressure causing the packing to adjust tightly to shaft and packing box. Liquids and gases are packed wit:- asbestos. Asbestos, with its fiber strength and lubricant holding qualities and resistance to decomposition, fits in well in this service. Some representative packing materials are on display, for example: 1. This valve stem packing may be used for hot or cold water service as well as steam and gases, and uses Commercial Grade yarn with controlled lubrication. 2.- Here is a valve stem packing for high { temperature steam made from AAA (95^) asbestos yarn and Inconel wire reinf or cement. 3. - Blue Asbestos finds use for concentrated acids as Chrysotile asbestos will not stand this service. 4.- Braids with various lubricants or in combination with Teflon, make them suitable for many services. Oils,greases, waxes, soaps, and edible lubricants are called on where needed. PRODUCED ..................... . .........

The copper jacketed asbestos braid is of use as a door seal in high heat and severe service such as a blast furnace door or in steel mills, glass plants and foundry doors. 6.- One company trans ports molten aluminum in crucibles for over 100 miles using untreated Lattice Braid as a lid seal.. G. Asbestos Fabrics find a still wider use and range of application. At one time,the safety fire curtain in a theater was prominently labeled "Asbestos". The safety curtain in Radio City Music Rail is worth noting. This fabric was supplied by Johns-Manville about 30 years ago. A two section curtain with ridged girder construction spans the 130 foot stage. Wire reinforced asbestos fabric is stretched tightly over front and back like drum heads. -- Safety Clothing includes gloves, coats, helmets, and coveralls. Here are some fab rics used in these products. The aluminized fabric increases the shield against radiant heat by its reflective qualities. Asbestos Curtains for shielding welding sparks or dropping molten metal are commonly used. Shields are used during repair of the re fractory brick with the men working.in vicinity of the open hearth furnaces and ovens. Glazers of cast iron plumbing fixtures, tubs, an and sinks use the asbestos cloth. The men have their wives produce custom made garments to shield them from the hot work. An item that may gain in importance is the use of asbestos for smoke filter bags. The anti-air pollution movement is sure to grow. Certain paper industries use an asbestos dryer felt which is woven endless to prevent marking the wet pulp web. Looms are built up to 50 feet in width. This makes possible an endless apron over 95 feet in circumference, and as wide as is required. Laminated asbestos and phenolic sheets are made. Products include valve discs, rotor vane's for compressors and air tools, piston rings, -motor insulation and inhibitor tubes for solid propellant rockets. The vanes for air compressors supply pressure for pnue- matic equipment. Refrigerators and air conditioners use vanes. In the manufacture of tin plate, the electrolytic process is most common. The hot metal plating is still required for some tin, zinc and lead. This is one form of brush used to wipe clean the steel squeeze roll used in removal of excess molten metal. In the assembly of some ovens and similar work, a strip of cloth is required. An adhesive greatly speeds up this work of inserting the strips of cloth. In the use of glass piping, a resilience is required in the joint gasket. This Teflon gasket is lined with rubber and asbestos fabric. Here is a rubber and asbestos ring which serves similar to the one first made by Mr. Garlock. - Woven industrial brake lining is used on the hold brake for elevators The deep wells drilled for oil require very heavy hold brakes. Here is a 10 ply construction of woven lining. Some wells have been drilled as deep as 25,000 feet. Insulation blankets that are laced in position and may bp/removed and reused are valuable equipment. Here is an illustration of such ?ipe insulation. Tailored blankets are made for turbines "and valves. he use of the springy Amosite fiber provides a very effective insul ation. For the high temperature service, AAA Monel reinforced cloth is applied to the inner surface, with AA cloth on the outside. Narrow listing tapes are used in wire cable wrappings in motors. Laundry presses and dry cleaning presses use asbestos pads and cover fabrics. PRODUCED JM - 83 ______ MT-004893 MS 005487 ATI-129 "The Use of Asbestos Textiles in Industrial Products" - Page -4- Expansion joints are needed in pipe lines handling fluids or gases at high temperature. Asbestos finds its place here. Units from 1 1/2" to very large sizes are made. Here is a picture of a joint measuring 14 x 16 feet inside otlamEtfixx dimensions. Blue asbestos fabric impregnated with Teflon makes an effective gasket for strong acid and acid combinations. Rubberized asbestos cloth is used in a wide range of products. Man-hole and hand-hole gaskets are used in quantity. Water tube boilers are major users , of hand-hole gaskets. The flat flanged gaskets are made up to any required size. Tad-pole gaskets are used in door seals. Another use is found in "package" boilers which are much in demand. High pressure packings use several forms of rings made from the rolled , or folded forms of cloth and rubber. . Even with all the Diesel locomotives, the Button-Hole or locomotive front end tape designed for steam locomotives is still used. This forms two gaskets placed on either side of a row of rivets. Here is a firmly rolled style used for the cover gasket on a kier in which poles and railroad ties are impregnated with creosote. Molded items such as this "V" ring, and this cup, are of great value for high temperature service up to 600 degrees F. Steam and air at high pressures are effectively sealed with this type ring.- Molded cups of'rubber and asbestos are used in feed-water pumps for steam boilers. Asbestos has been combined with Teflon to make very tough, heat resistant material. "V" rings have been made which answer a need in the oil fields where water with grit and sand, and other times with Portland cement, are sometimes pumped into the oil wells at high pressure. In hydraulic rams where high heat may be present, the sintered Teflon-Asbestos "V" rings will hold and release where rubber some times seizes. Sintered Teflon-Asbestos has been used in producing fireproof insulating tubing to protect electrical cables for aircraft This fireproof cushion clamp holds electrical cables also in aircraft The useful field for asbestos textiles is far greater than has been outlined today, but enough has been covered to show the great value of asbestos fiber in industrial products. The uses continue to growl About the Speaker: - G. Ellwood Houghton, Product "Engineer, has been associated with GAS166K Inc., since 1959. For twenty years he wa3 superintendent of the Asbestos Textile Department prior to his promotion in 1959 to Product Engineer in Research and Development ami Manufacturing Engineering Departments. Mr. Houghton has been awarded three product patents and has two additional patents pending. He has also contributed in a major way to machine innovations for new products and product improvements. Following his graduation from Philadelphia Textile School in 1927, he joined Johns-Manville Corporation, serving in several line and staff production operat ions for twelve years. Now in his fortieth year of continuous association with the asbestos textile industry, Mr. Houghton has a background of experience that is most impressive, and we were priv ileged indeed to have this opportunity to hear him discuss " The Use of Asbestos Textiles in Industrial Products".

Health Study that has been underway for the Past several years;. Mr* Sheckler expressed himself as greatly encouraged by Dr. Cralley5s report, and feels that at last he is getting somewhere, and that we in turn will be progressing as a result. Dr. R.T.P. fteTreville came into the meeting at 4:40 P.M. (by invita tion) and reviewed the progress made by the Industrial Hygiene Foun dation during the last six or seven months under their Asbestos Bioeifects Research Program, which is. under the supervision of Dr0 Paul Gross. He stressed the need for financial help from industry in or der to continue the research program - about $100,000 per year is needed. He stated that iellon Institute is merging vrith Carnegie Tech to form Carnegie University, and that I.H.F. can no longer look to Mellon Institute for subsidies, and will also lose the present tavorable overhead operating costs. He suggested that aTI should '*ai:e a position in respect to the research program, and not be pass ive.

President Rainey thanked Dr. deTreville for coming to the meeting and assured him that ATI wanted to do everything in its rower to further the research program. 6. The Secretary presented a letter frfim Mr. W.S. Hougp in which he submitted his resignation as chairman of the Sales Promotion Com mittee by reason of the fact that he is leaving the asbestos indus try effective the end of February, 1967. It was voted to accept his resignation with extreme regret. Kr. E.A. Schuman was appointed to serve for the balance of Mr. HoughMs term, which normally would have ended in December of 1967. 7. The Secretary presented a letter from English Asbestos Co,,Ltd*, dated 24th January, 1967, in which they submitted their resignation as an Associate Member of the Institute due to the fact that they are now part of the B.B.A. Group of companies, also have withdrawn from the outside asbestos textile market. Also presented was a letter from the Cape Asbestos Company Limited, dated 30th January, 1967, in vfhich they submitted their resignation a.s an Associate Member due to the fact that they had discontinued the manufacture of asbestos textiles in England. Mr. Peele moved that both resignations be accepted with regret. How ever, they should be advised that dues for 1967 are payable as set forth in Article III, Paragraph 4, of the Constitution and By-Laws. This motion was seconded by .Mr. Brown. So voted. (The resignation of Cape Asbestos Company is to be discussed with Idr. R.E. Cryor before a letter is sent to them.) 8. The application of the Frank G. Ruggles Co., for Associate Mem bership in the Institute, on which no action was taken at the last meeting, was brought up for discussion. As the By-Laws would have to be amended before approval could be given to this company (who does not card or spin asbestos fiber) it was moved by Mr. Peeie that the application be denied. Seconded by Mr. Brown. So voted. The Secretary is to advise Mr. Ruggles of this action. 9. The Secretary reported that H.IC. Porter Company had agreed to supply a speaker for our June meeting. 10.

Peele, Jr., dated April 14, 1967, in which J'x. Peele tendered his resignation from the Board of Governors; also terminated his other functions in the A.T.I. by reason of the fact that his duties and responsibilities at Uni Royal, Inc., had been realigned, and he was no longer associated with their asbestos products. Mr. Rainey expressed the roost sincere regret on behalf of the Board of Governors, and paid tribute to the valuable assistance given to both the Institute and the asbestos tex tile industry during the many years that Mr. Peele has been active in A.T.I. and the asbestos textile industry. Mr. Gallagher moved that Mr. Peele's resignation be accepted with utmost regret, second ed by Mr. Schuman, and so voted. 8. Mr. Rainey advised the members that he had received a letter from Mr. F.C. Phillips, Marketing Manager, General Textiles, UniRoyal,Inc., under date of April 14, 1967, in which Mr. Phillips offered for the Board's consideration Richard P. Clark, newly appointed Product Sales Manager for their asbestos products, as UniRoyal's representa tive to serve on the Board of Governors of A.T.I. It was moved by Mr. Mitchell, and seconded by Mr. Gallagher, that Mr. Clark be ap proved as the representative of UniRoyal, Inc. So voted, unanimously. Mr. Peele spoke in a most complimentary way on behalf of ''Dick" Clark, and his belief in the principles and objectives of the Insti tute, and his desire to have UniRoyal, Inc., continue its full sup port of A.T.I. activities as in the past. 9. The Secretary presented the final cost figures on the 3rd Edi tion of the Handbook of Asbestos Textiles. The unit cost per copy of this edition was $0,663 compared with $0,728 on the prior (1961) edition; a reduction of 9% despite the smaller number of copies printed, and general increases in materials and labor costs since that year. The full details are attached to these minutes. The Board members expressed their satisfaction with this fine result, due in large part to the suggestion made by Mr. Peele about a year ago that A.T.I. work thru the purchasing department of his company in obtaining competitive bids on the printing of the Handbook. 10. The purchase of a Bauch & Lomb Dust Counter for use by all the Regular Members of the Institute has been proposed by the Air Hygiene & Mfg. Committee. After some discussion it was suggested by fir. Gallagher that the Air Hygiene & Mfg. Committee make a specific recommendation based on latest developments by Bauch & Lomb. Subse quent to the meeting a further discussion with the chairman of the Air Hygiene & Mfg. Committee took place and the Board approved in principle the purchase of a Bauch & Lomb Dust Counter. The maximum amount to be spent is $5000,00, and the manufacturing committee is to get a written proposal and submit it to the Secretary for approval of the Board of Governors before the actual purchase order is issued. The question of use of the equipment by rotation among member compan ies was brought up. Mr. Flocken asked if it was the intention tc make permanent record of dust counts, and if so if such records would create a problem if the union got possession of them. This was thought to be no problem as the union could get the State Dept, to come into a riant and make dust counts if they so desired. Mr, Mitchell visualized that member companies would use the equipment PRODUCED MS 00S496 JM -83 MT-004902 ATI-129 Minutes - Board of Governors - continued: Page -3- irregularly for spot checks. Therefore, its use by various compan ies should ndt be a problem. Mr. Flocken raised question of who would pay for repairs to the equipment, ad these could be costly. Mr. Gallagher questioned the idea of making it a self-liquidating project, but question of repair costs could either be spread over the members or else absorbed by the Institute at discretion of the Board of Governors. While the Board favored the purchase of the equipment, and approved it as siated above, the details concerning schedule for rotation between companies, transportation and repair costs, etc., are still to be worked out. 11. President Rainey appointed John A. Brown, Jr., to be chairman of the Nominating Committee, and Mr. Brown will select two others to serve with him on that committee. They are to present a slate of officers for election at the next (October) meeting, also present recommendati ons for individuals who will serve as chairmen of the four working committees, namely: Air Hygiene & Mfg; Technical; Sales Promotion; and Fiber Testing. 12. Presideit Rainey stated that a verbal application for Associate Membership in the Institute had been made to him by the Mexican firm, Hilados Y TejiQos de Asbesto S.A. This concern is an affiliate of American Asbestos Textile Corporation, and Mr. Rainey said they were primary producers of asbestos textiles in Mexico and were qualified for membership. Reaction of the Board members was favorable, and it was agreed that Mr. Rainey would instruct them to submit a letter of application and the Board would act on it at the October meeting this year. 13. Mr. Schuman referred to the Planned Publicity Program as dis cussed in the Sales Promotion Committee at the February meeting. Said that no definite program had been formulated as yet. Quoted a letter from Mr. Martucci of Garlock Inc., in reference the firm of Edward W. Robotham of Westport, Conn., who specialize in sales pro motion work. Mr. Schuman said that he would ask Mr. Martucci to ex plore the possibilities of this company giving us an idea of how much money it might cost the A.T.I. to present an effective sales promotion program, and what this nrogram might entail. Also, there would be a further discussion of the matter in the Sales Promotion Committee. 14. Proposed establishment of a Scholarship Fund by A.T.I. - Mr. Rainey said that Bill Hough had recommended we consider it. as a means of getting young men interested in employment in the asbestos textile industry. Suggested that members think about it. Mr. Peele suggested that we contact various textile schools to see what amount of money would be needed to stimulate interest; also investigate what the textile industry was doing about scholarships. M.r. Gallagh er said that he would volunteer to check into this matter with a couple of textile schools in North Carolina. VJhile it is not clear as to how the asbestos textile industry could derive benefit from a scholarship fund, Mr. Rainey thought that a good start would be to find out what other industries are doing. 15. Mr. Gallagher offered to supply a speaker for the October meet- MS 005497 JM -83 MT-004903 f; Minutes - Board of Governors - continued ATI-129 Page -4- 16. In respect to locations for A.T.I. meetings in 1968 Mr. Rainey suggested that the February meeting should be in New York City or in Philadelphia. After some discussion the Secretary was instructed to make a firm reservation in New York City, at the Barbizon-Plaza, if possible. Mr. Peele suggested we consider the Sedgefield Inn at Greensboro, North Carolina, for June or October meeting. Mr. Rainey suggested the Hotel Hershey, Hershey, Pa., for October 1968. Shaw nee on Delaware was mentioned also as a possible meeting site. 17. Chloride-free cloth for the Navy. Mr. Rainey said that he wanted to discuss this subject, and warned that the asbestos textile industry should be careful to avoid gettixjg into "a bind" as, for example, the adhesive used could change the^ condition as to chloride content. He believes that the industry is ''sticking its ne ck out" to offer to supply chloride-free cloth, as the shelf-life is not known, or variation from roll to roll. Also, the cloth could possibly be contaminated by sea air. Cloth has to be shipped in polyethylene bags. Stated: "We feel that the specifi cation is unnecessary and it could be eliminated with very little difficulty." Mr. Flocken discussed labeling and extent of liability as to the war ranty. Mr. Rainey said that he doubted that we knew enough about it to guarantee the cloth was chloride-free. Mr. Schuman thought that we either had to guarantee it or risk the replacement of asbestos cloth by some other material. Thought that our Technical Committee might investigate to determine the ''shelflife" of chloride-free cloth. Mr. Rainey mentioned that asbestos fibres from various sources have different chloride content, but questioned whether continuity of sup ply on a particular quality of fiber could be depended upon. 18. There being n6 further business to come before the meeting, it was duly adjourned. Addendum: PRODUCED JM - 83 Respectfully submitted A/ & Following the meeting a handsome stop-watch (wrist type) was present ed to Mr. Peele on behalf of his associates on the Board of Governors, including Legal Counsel and the Secretary. Mr. Peele w^s greatly pleased by their gift, and responded by express ing his deep appreciation for it. . Note: Mr. J.A. Brown, Jr., of Raybestos-Manhattan, Inc., had notified the Secretary by phone that due to transportation difficulties he would arrive Montreal very late in the evening. Due to this fact Mr. Brown was unable to attend the Wednesday evening meeting of the Board. However, he was present at the subsequent meeti ng at which the Board approved purchase of the Bauch & Lomb Dust Counting equip-' ment as reported in Paragraph 10 of the minutes. * MS 005498 MT-004904 ATI-129 *5~ ASBESTOS TEXTILE INSTITUTE ---FOUNDED 1*44-- GENERAL MEETING MS 005499 PRODUCED JM -83 MT-004905 ATI-129 * deposition exhibit s^L ASBESTOS TEXTILE INSTITUTE President---------------- J.L.Rainey Vice President ---- E.A.

The usual A.T.I. Social Hour will be held from 6;00 to 7:00 P.M. on Wednesday evening at the Lucerne, and we hope that everyone can arrive early enough to attend, bringing their wives with them.I Hr. Wm.J.W. Smith, Bell Asbestos Hines Limited, chairman of the special subcommittee set up by the "Miners" to take care of the pro gram of entertainment for Thursday, informs us that the schedule as arranged for Thursday, June 8th, will be: 11:30 A.M.- Board chartered buses at Lucerne Motel for trip to"Expo". "Daily Pass" for admission will be supplied by the "Miners". 12:00 Noon - Reception and Luncheon at the QUEBEC Pavilion.The"Miners" are the hosts at this affair. 2:00 P. 11. - Official Reception to Expo 67. This will be held at the "ASBESTOS PLAZA". After the reception there will be a conducted tour of five pavilions selected by the committee for outstanding interest,namelv: U.S.A.; French; Russian; Canadian; and Theme - "Man the Producer". Mr. Smith suggests, as it would probably take two weeks for thorough coverage of Expo 67, that those who can arrive Wednesday morning might well use the balance of that day to visit Expo, in which case, to avoid repetition, the above listed pavilions could be omitted. While no activities are scheduled for Thursday evening. Hr. Smith advises that the ROYAL BALLET (from England) will be playing at the Opera House in Montreal, and he can get tickets for those who are interested, if they let him know promptly. Also, at the Expo Theatre, the play "Half and Sixpence" will * be given on Wednesday and Friday evenings, and he can get tickets. On Friday, June 9th, we will hold our GENERAL MEETING beginning at 9:30 A.II., at the Lucerne Hotel. This Will be followed by cocktails and luncheon at noon, to which the ladies are invited. ' We are most appreciative of the time,effort, and expense by the "Miners" on our behalf - certainly no visitors to Eppo 67 will be more fortunate - and we hope that YOU will be there to enj ojpDAn||f*|:n Canadian Hospitality at its very finest.I rnuuuwLW jit-83 Those who drive their cars to Expo should, in case of an accident in Canada, be able to show proof that they have a minimum coverage of v35,000 for property damage liability.

MS 005516 5, The Fibre Producers Repdrt was given by Mr. M.P. Carson, Vice President - Sales, Asbestos Corporation Limited. He mentioned that slow economic conditions in several countries had adversely affected total shipments of Canadian asbestos fibres in the first eight months of this year - down 8.8% - however, total sales of spinning fibres were up about 1% in that period. Group 4 fibres for use in asbestos-cement products were off, as were spinning fibre sales in Italy, France and Germany. Japan has made a good recovery. The em bargo on Rhodesian fibre continues. However, some Rhodesian is reaching markets thru a third country. 6. President Rainey introduced Dr. Clinton II. Whitehurst, Jr., Her-dDept, of Industrial Management, Clemson University, Clemson, S.C.. who gave a most interesting talk entitled: "Operations Research Techniques". We were privileged indeed to have the opportunity to har Dr. Whitehurst, a well-known authority in the field of PRODUCED JM - 83 MT-004922 ATI-129 Minutes - General Meeting - continued: Page -3- Industrial Management. An abstract of his talk follows: ABSTRACT "It is profoundly erroneous truism, repeated by all copy books and by eminent people when they are making speeches, that we should oil- tivate the habit of thinking of what we are doing. The precise opposite is the case. _ Civilization advances by extending the number of important opera tions which we can perform without thinking about them." The above quotation by Alfred North Whitehead was both an introduc tion and, in fact, a summary of the address "Operations Research Techniques" delivered by Dr. C.H. Whitehurst of Clemson University before the Asbestos Textile Institute at Hilton Head, South Carolina on October 6, 1967. In specific terms the address covered in capsule form ten OR tech niques that could be utilized in a typical industrial organization. Each technique was illustrated by a simple example designed to show its notential as an aid to management decision making. Included were examples making use of linear programming, Markov processes, econometrics, multiple graphic correlation analysis, input-output models, matrix algebra, industrial dynamics, and a lionte Carlo simu lation model. In each case the relevance of the technique to com puter programming was emphasized. The large number of techniques discussed was made possible by dis tributing handouts to the audience which contained the specific ex ample, relevant technique, and at least one library reference. The handouts together with explanatory illustrations on an easel board was successful in imparting the potential for OR analysis in a firm's operations. 7. Jack Christian, President of Cassiar Asbestos Corporation Ltd., wrote the Secretary prior to this meeting that neither he nor Tom Tiggert would be able to attend due to the fact that their new Clinton mine, at Clinton Creek, B.C., was due to start production and they would be busy there. President Rainey asked Mr. Wro.J.W. Smith, Bell Asbestos Tines Limited, sales representatives for Cassiar, to tell us something about the new mine. Mr. Smith said the Clinton Mine is 600 to 700 miles north of the pre sent Cassiar mine, close to the border of Alaska. Problem of tr?nsporting fibre is somewhat similar to shipments from Cassiar. The type of fibre from the Clinton fine is generally similar to Cassiar fibre, but there could be some considerable differences. ^Thene are both long and short fibres - but Clinton will produce primarily #4 Group fibres, and a secondary grade will be Group 5. Because yield from ore is never precisely known in advance, Mr. Smith stated tl^a.: perhaps grades may be produced, other than those presently antici pated. produced ^ " $3 MS 005517 MT-004923 ATI-129 Minutes - General Meeting - continued: Page -4 8.

PRODUCED MS 005521 JM - 83 / MT-004927 ATI-129 -2Federal Legislation - Continued A number of newspaper articles regarding claims against one member company were discussed. Environmental Health Survey Dr. Lewis J. Cralley discussed a paper on "Exposure to Metal in the Manufac re of Asbestos Textile Products" by L.J. Cralley, R.G. Kee nan and J.R. Lynch, which was accepted for publication in the Journ al of American Hygiene. The paper deals with the potential exposures of workers processing asbestos to hazardous materials other than asbestos. Investigation was undertaken to define the nature and extent of exposure to metals such as nickel, chromium, cobalt and magnesium in the manufacture of asbestos textile products. It was concluded that the relationship between these metal exposures and the increased pulmonary and other cancer observed in asbestos workers should be investigated and, that it is no longer tenable to look only for asbestos fibers or bodies in the biological tissue and by their presence assume a cause and effect relationship with the disease. It was announced that there will be a meeting in Antigua during the week of Thanksgiving Day, sponsored by the Q.M.A. and by special invitatioh. The purpose of the meeting is to discuss toxic materials, namely asbestos, and the effects of exposure. Dr* Cralley discussed plans for obtaining additional information needed to continue the Environmental Health Survey such as health profiles and employment records, and he stated that the cooperatL on of the members of the industry would be needed. It was the concensus of the Committee that the program and informa tion is desirable and necessary and recommends to the Board of Gov ernors that the A.T.I. continue to cooperate with the U.S.P.H.S. in continuing the clinical and environmental studies. Miscellaneous One company reported that after 14 years of service a set of dust bags made of cotton sateen was still in good condition. . Another company is experimenting with a totally enclosed carding machine to eliminate human exposure to dust. The possibility of exchange visits among representatives of member companies for the purpose of cooperative advancement in di st control was discussed. MS 00S522 W.C.

J.L. Rainey and J.W. Christenbury of American Asbestos Textile Corp., N.L.A. Martucci of Garlock, Inc., J.A. Brown, Jr., H.Q. Scowcroft and S.R. Zimmerman of Raybestos-Man hattan, Inc., J.L. Mit(h ell of Tallroan-McCluskey Fabrics Co., R.P. Clark and S.J. Peele, Jr., of UNIROYAL, INC., P.Jay Flocken (legal counsel), H.E. Sunbury (secretary), ane E.A. Schuran of Johns-Manville. The four display cabinets are currently on exhibit at Stevens Insti tute at Hoboken, N.J. Mr. Sunbury and myself examined the cabinets and found they were in need of refurbishing. The Committee voted unanimously to retire the cabinets as they are 10 years old and have served the original purpose. It was voted that we offer the cabinets to our Canadian miners. We had the Edward W. Robotham Co. submit a proposal to the A*T.I. on promoting asbestos textiles by A.T.I. magazine advertising coupled with mailed promotional literature. Preliminary ads were presented and created much interest. The Committee felt that tentatively a segment of the presentation may have merit and should be pursued. The cost for this program would run approximately $18,000 a year. A tentative meeting was set for November with Mr. Robotham, but this was later postponed and the whole matter taken under further advise ment . . It was reported that asbestos textile volume still comes in from Japan and this competition is felt to a small degree throughout the United States. The cloth prices quoted for Japanese material is in the low 70 lb. area. The members of the Committee were not pleased with the U.S. Govern ment's policy of ordering asbestos cloth. It is possible for the successful bidder to be required to supply double the quantity he bid on and to supply this material by specified time periods. On the other hand, there is no assurance that the Government at the end of the contract period will take the balance of the cloth inventory that was kept on hand to satisfy the requirements of the contract. Mr. Flocken, our legal counsel, suggested that v*e give him full de tails with specific orders and he would pursue this through his Washington office. EAS/p E.A.

Draft dated August 17, 1967 and D 375 was revised as the 3rd. Draft dated August 17, 1967. These two were consequently sent to Paul Nicodemus (25 copies of each draft) for letter ballot and to Dr. Scroggie (7 copies of each draft) for editorial comments. During the interin a reply from Dr. Scroggie accepted these two drafts as written with very minor changes and he said the two drafts would be acceptable for printing with the changes he suggested. To gain time, a letter ballot was circulated to all members of the committee with the response that Dr. Scroggie suggestions would be acceptable. Without redrafting, these changes were retyped in the margins of the sheets and resent to Paul Nicodemus and Dr. Scroggie. For all practical purposes this finalizes these two specifications. Also at the Atlanta meeting, D 1061 was revised as the 1st. Draft dated August 18, 1967. This draft was circulated to members only for possible discrepancies. - At the current meeting, the committee confirmed acceptance of all the changes suggested by Dr. Scroggie in D 299 and D 375 D 1061 was reviewed and no sufficient changes made. Decision was made to send Paul Nicodemus a copy of this draft for his views prior to .,,sending to Dr. Scroggie. MS 005524 -1 MT-004930 ATI-129 i At the Atlanta meeting federal specifications Mil-l-l53b9c and SS-C-la66f were revised in the light of current industry practice, both editorially and in the dimensions and weights tables. Copies of these revisions were circulated to members only for possible discrepancies. At the current meeting, these two specifications were discussed again with further changes and decision was made to send revised copies to the appropriate government agencies, with a list of suggested changes in addi tion to the corrected draft. Copies of all ASTM specifications referred to in the drafts are to be enclosed for the benefit of the agencies. The revised drafts with suggested changes on the two above specifications will be sent to H. E. Sunbury for him to submit to the appropriate government agencies with the statement that these drafts supersede all prior recommendations sent in by individual companies. In conclusion, the committee, during the past two years, has completed revisions on specifications D 1571 - Cloth, D 315 - Tape, D 2100 - Electrical Insulation, D 1918 - Asbestos Content, D 299 - Tarn, D 375 - Roving, and partially completed revision of D 1061 - Lap. The specifications yet to . be revised are: D 628 - Braided Tubing, D 1118 - Magnetic Rating, and D 1573 - Heat Ageing. . J. D.

RaybestOs-Manhattan, Inc. Subjects Discussed The Committee discussed the results of the round-robin magnetic rating tests. Ten companies participated in the tests. Analysis of the test data led to the following tentative conclusions: a) Magnetic rating values obtained by either the Mapes Analyzer or the Turner-Newall equipment are not significantly different for fiber samples containing magnetite in the range of 0.3 to 6.0 magnetic rating. b) Magnetic rating values obtained on either the Mapes or T-N units are not significantly altered by the presence of metal in the immediate vicinity of the equipment provided the units are properly zeroed prior to test and the units are not moved from their locations after zeroing. c) Readings on.either the Mapes or T-N units are not significantly changed when the test sample is rotated in the unit. d) Mapes or T-N magnetic rating values reported on fiber samples in the 0.3 - 6.0 M.R. range will probably vary by about + 20% between laboratories. MS 005526 MT-004932 ATI-129 Some of the laboratories want to re-check their values in the round-robin. As soon as this is completed more positive conclusions can be reached. ,2. The Committee agreed to request approval from the Board of Governors to allow the QAMA to set up a schedule of charges on requests for working drawings of tfest equipment described in the Test Manual. These drawings were prepared by the QAMA at appreciable cost in time and money. Their dissemination to applicants also takes time and money. The actual charges agreed upon by QAMA would then be submitted to the Board of Governors for final approval. Respectfully submitted, J.

The regular order of business was changed for the convenience of our guests who were invited to hear Dr. L.J.

Lynch, U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare, of a paper enti tled "Exposure to Metals in the Manufacture of Asbestos Textile Prod ucts". This paper has been accepted for publication in Journal of American Industrial Hygiene Association, and preprints were supplied member companies of A.T.I. by Dr. Cralley several weeks prior to this meeting. Dr. Cralley discussed trace metals exposure in connection with the processing of chrysotile asbestos fibre, pointing out that "suffi cient evidence is presented in this study to indicate that the role of metals in the etiology of disease associated with asbestos inha lation should not be ignored. Thus it is no longer tenable to look only for asbestos fibers or bodies in biological tissue and by their ?fSCnce as?ume a cause and effect relationship with the disease." 'The quote is taken from Abstract of Paper referred to above).
