Also noted that m view of the fact that we would not supply them material on a direct basis as did World Bestos, that they then want to call the shots on the distributors they would use to get Abex material. Mr. Walker continues to work on this program. No problems were reported from the Engineering group at this time. The lot or batch number which we applied to the Fruehauf blocks is not utilized in any way for a recall situation. They do not take this number and apply it to the shoe assembly and/or the axles. The only thing they can determine is that an axle by number was shipped with Abex and/or Carlisle material and to what customer. If problems arise with the lining, they are not in a position to determine whether it was for the last month, four months, or six months that the material may or may not have been bad. Indications are that we could not remove this number from the blocks, although they do not utilize it. L. Earle Bretz, Jr. RLCutler/AFSchmaltz/file RENelson ADIndelicato BIwars son 1 OBR 04777
