(c) Identify whether the finished manufactured brake shoes
or brake linings sold or distributed contained asbestos and the
type of asbestos contained therein (i.e., amosite, chrysolite
or crocidolite). (d) Identify the trade or brand name of the brake shoes
and linings sold or distributed.
ANSWER: (a) Defendant Abex objects to this interrogatory as
being unduly broad and unlimited. This information is available
at Defendant's Winchester*, Virginia, facility, and can be re
trieved only through a manual search of the files, and it would
be unduly burdensome to require Defendant to expend a great many
man-hours searching its files for each document. Further Defendant
states that the information is available only for the last three
years due to Defendant's current records retention procedures,
and Defendant states that such records would be irrelevant as
Plaintiff, by his own testimony, stopped working with asbestos
products in 1975; (b) See answer to 15(a); (c) Chrysolite
asbestos; (d) Material would have the Co-Defendant's name or
trade name.
