< C NEILS INSULATION CO., East Cromwell Street, Leith, Edinburgh 6 Messrs, Newalls Insulation Co. Ltd., Washington, Co. Durham. Friday, 12th August, 1955. Dear Sirs, We are presently threatened with a claim for As'oestosis, and relative to this the question of the handling of Magnesia Plastic has been made a point at issue, especially where it is used in the filling of Asbestos Mattresses. We are taking the liberty of writing you to ask if you will be good enough to give us any information as to the handling of Magnesia Plastic in the dry state and the Factory Act regarding Asbestosis. Signatory has handled Magnesia Plastic in the making of Asbestos Mattresses, as a boy just over forty years ago', and has never looked for or suffered any ill. We would be greatly obliged if you would be good enough to give us any guidance in the matter, particularly as to whether you consider any special precautions are necessary in this respect. Yours faithfully, for NEILS INSULATION COMPANY . ; ,. '" ,, ,: ; O ) ' : ; (Signed) L. H. Henriksen {
