Mr. John H. Huxley -.'r. J. 2. ^`ysrs December 21, 1955 Chicago -*-<ibby '57 Dear Kux! 1 have previously written to you about the danger of exposing our employees to asbestos dust while they are manufacturing acoustical plastic, in many of our plants, the plastic business has Increased over 100% in the last year and is still growing. W hen the business reaches these proportions, it is not unusual to have one crew assigned to this work continuously. This increases the danger. The attached letter from Glenn Sucetti deals with the Weismantle case in California. Glenn has also made some excellent suggestions. You are well versed in dust collecting and cyclone separating systems, and 1 do not think that it would be difficult for you to design a system for our standard plastic mixing equipment. 1 believe that this is important enough so that you should plan to have a design worked out and one mixer equipped and in operation within, say, six months from now. This design should be such that we can either supply the equip ment, or supply blueprints so that the plants can have their own installation made. I would like to have your ideas on this subject. With best wishes. Sincere ly yours JBMyers/jbr c. c. Glenn Sucetti Walter Bdn 15163028
