HOT OCF DOCUMENTS
Jackie Rion and Tim Eble faxed to us today a number of

OCF for a 5.4 million
in one lung cancer and
two disputed asbestosis cases He is the first attorney we
of to get any of the recently discovered deprivileged OCF
documents admitted into evidence
Here is a summary of the
know
admitted documents
1.
OCF Kaylo sales brochure dated July 1956

2.
The Baumgardner letters
Ed Ames informed on November 22 1944 by an treating physician that the patient suffered from which was not caused by exposure to fiberglas
insulator's asbestosis
Note the letter from the safety advisor of the Division of Safety and Hyigene of the State of Ohio in which the writer
concludes that while sawing pipecovering the insulator Baumgardner must of been exposed to dust within a range from 5 to
10 mppcf
3
The Smock letter
Dr.
ought not suggested
Gardner advises Mr. Ames
employee Mr. Smock whose asbestosis
on March 13 1943 that OCF
employment ray films

The Lotz memo
Criticqueing OCF's dust count methods dated June 20 1963 In this memo Mr. Lotz and the product testing division questions whether the procedures adopted by Mr. Peele in evaluating the dust counts generated from cutting Kaylo were representative for
the general case The dust counts even under Peele's optomistic
counts showed an average of 10 mppcf of dust using Kaylo

Toledo
During August 1944 he was under my ear and I hospitelited him in re Hospitel Hospitel Hospitel Toledo was suffering from asbestosis condition that results
from exposure to astestos dust The disease is a well reconized form of lung
pathology that manifests itself in diminution of lung capacitcapyacity resulting in
cyspanee or shortness of breath This diagnosis is made through the
rays which were forwarded to me from in Akron hospital were ramperner ramperner
bed been treated some time before before
His condition wes complicated
So led me to advise his to save his trade and seek work that was
Inosinion Inosinion his lung condition was not the result of exposure to Fibergles
materials which he had been handling for a relatively short time before he left
his trade It is to be explained rether by his exposure to asbestos dust over explained over asbestos
a long period of years
It is well established by the work of Dr. Lero U. Gardner at farenac and
others others othersothers others others that that exposure to glass fibers involves no hazard to the lungs
.
Yours very truly 01
