Marcella Duncan 7-22-04.txt 17 SUPPLY OF GASKETS. BUT IF I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PART 18 NUMBER IS, THEN I DON'T KNOW WHAT A GASKET IS. 19 Q. SO MY QUESTION IS IS THERE A LEDGER THAT ALLOWS 20 SOMEONE TO ASCERTAIN OR DETERMINE WHAT PRODUCT IS A 21 GASKET AND WHAT IT'S USED FOR AND WHAT PRODUCT IS AN 22 O-RING AND WHAT IT'S USED FOR? 23 MR. PARKER: IT'S YES OR NO, IF YOU KNOW. 24 THE WITNESS: YES. 25 BY MR. FISHBACK: 0048 1 Q. WHERE DOES THAT EXIST? 2 A. THE CATALOG, I WOULD GO TO THE CATALOG. 3 Q. ALL RIGHT. AND DO YOU KNOW WITH WHAT FREQUENCY 4 THE PART NUMBERS CHANGE? 5 A. FOR GASKET KITS? 6 Q. YES. 7 A. VERY SELDOM WOULD A PART NUMBER FOR ONE GASKET 8 CHANGE FROM THE BEGINNING WHEN IT WAS CREATED, OR THE 9 PART WAS DESIGNED AND ASSIGNED FOR THE LIFE OF THE PART, 10 PROVIDED THAT THERE WERE NO CHANGES TO IT, TO -- LIKE 11 THEY CHANGED AN ENGINE, CHANGED THE ENGINE SIZE OR BORE 12 SIZE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. UM -13 MR. PARKER: I THINK YOU'VE ANSWERED THE 14 QUESTION. 15 MR. FISHBACK: WELL, I CAN APPRECIATE THAT. 16 BUT SHE WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF HER ANSWER. SO I THINK IT'S 17 DUST BETTER IF YOU JUST LET HER ANSWER THE QUESTION 18 RATHER THEN HAVE YOU DECIDE WHEN SHE HAS OR HASN'T 19 ANSWERED THE QUESTION. 20 MR. PARKER: I THINK SHE HAD FINISHED HER 21 ANSWER, AND SHE PAUSED BECAUSE SHE DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING 22 TO SAY. 23 I THOUGHT SHE HAD ANSWERED THE QUESTION. THE 24 ANSWER WAS "VERY SELDOM." 25 GO AHEAD. I DIDN'T CUT HER OFF. 0049 1 BY MR. FISHBACK: 2 Q. F.S. 1178, TO USE THAT EXAMPLE, THAT'S ALWAYS 3 BEEN, TO YOUR KNOWLEDGE, THE SMALL BLOCK -- THE GASKET 4 KIT FOR THE SMALL BLOCK CHEVY? 5 A. AS FAR BACK AS I CAN REMEMBER. 6 Q. AND SO -- BY THE WAY, DO YOU KNOW IF THAT'S 7 STILL BEING PRODUCED TODAY? 8 A. YES, IT IS. 9 Q. OKAY. AND IT WAS BEING PRODUCED IN 1968; 10 RIGHT? 11 A. YES. 12 Q. HAVE THE COMPONENT MATERIALS OF THE GASKETS 13 INCLUDED IN THE GASKET KIT CHANGED? 14 A. MANY OF THEM HAVE CHANGED, YES. 15 Q- SO DO YOU KNOW IF IN 1968 F.S. 1178 INCLUDED 16 ASBESTOS-CONTAINING GASKETS? 17 A. I WOULD HAVE TO LOOK AT THE -- 1178 CARD TO SEE 18 WHAT MATERIAL THE PART WAS BEING MADE OUT OF IN 1968. 19 Q. WHAT'S THE 1178 CARD? 20 A. 1178 IS THE ACTUAL GASKET NUMBER FOR THE HEAD 21 GASKET. THAT'S THE CYLINDER HEAD GASKET NUMBER. I'M 22 SORRY. 23 Q. OKAY. 24 A. THE F.S. IN FRONT OF IT WOULD INDICATE IT'S A 25 FULL SET KIT, BUT THE HEAD GASKET IN THE KIT IS 1178. 0050 1 Q. AND THE CARD, 1178 CARD THAT YOU REFERENCED, Page 21
