So when you started at Reddaway is

6 asbestos business --
7
A.
Yes it is
3
A.
Yes
4
Q.
Okay
5
For a period of time is it correct
6 that Reddaway sold both the asbestos woven and
7 the asbestos woven
8
Q.
-- at that time
9
A.
Yes
10
Q.
And the description of Reddaway's
11 business today would be manufacturer of asbestos
12 friction materials for industrial use
8
A.
Yes it was but when we converted
9 in 1983 to the asbestos those sizes which were
10 the smaller industrial sizes we never went back to
11 asbestos We continued the larger sizes in the oil
12 field
13
A.
Woven friction materials
14
Q. Okay
15
But molded -- and so there's two
16 types of woven friction linings right
17
A.
Yes
18
Q.
There's the woven --
19
A.
Yes
20
Q.

21
A.
Yes
2224
Q.
2224 asbestos --
And both of those used to be
2224
A.
Yes
2224
Q.
-- right or in part --
13
Q.
Okay
14
When you say smaller sizes can
15 you be more specific
16
A.
1/4 inch 16's 8's and a half
17 Those looms were changed over to the asbestos
18 and they had to be changed over early 80's in order
19 for them to have inventory in 1983
20
Q.
So you said 1/4 inch
222225
A.
16's
222225
Q.
16's
222225
A.
8's and a half
222225
Q.

A.
Yes
Page 15

3
A.
Yes
3

And at all times as to the molded
6 Reddaway would purchase that from Raybestos
7
A.
Yes
4
Q.
Thickness
5
Did the rolls always come in a
6 standard length
7
A.
25 feet
8
Q. Okay
8
Q.
And so the thickness -- the width
9
And as to the woven Reddaway would
9 would be from one end to the other from side to side
10 manufacture that itself
11
A.
Yes
12
Q.
Okay
13
And once -- when was the date that
14 Reddaway switched to asbestos
15
A.
Basically they switched in 1983
10
A.
The width yes
11
Q.
And you're talking about thickness
12 that would be from say the top to the bottom
13
A.
Top face to the bottom face
14
Q.
Okay
15
A.
Yes
16
Q.
Okay
16
Q.
Okay
17
Now in 1983 Reddaway introduced
17
--
-
18
the RNAW --
18
At which time an Abex Corporation
19
A.
Yes
19
Purchase Order dated 2/13/84 was received

Pages 18..21
Page 18
1
I've handed you Exhibit Number
1
Q.
Okay
Page 20
2 and I'll represent that I went to the Reddaway
2
It shows that it's going to be
3 facility and flagged a bunch of folders of sales
3 delivered to Abex
4 records regarding Abex and then they were
4
That's stamped on there right
5 subsequently released to me and you'll see a number
5
A.
Yes it is
6 on the bottom right
6
Q.
Okay
7
Do you see the number
7
Now what it says is two packages or
8
It says Reddaway580
8 two bales of asbestos brake lining
9
A.
Yes
9
Do you see that
10
Q.
Okay .
10
A.
Yes
11
Now let me ask you this invoice
11
Q.
Okay
12 Iam I correct it's -- hang on
12
Now is it your contention that this
13
This is dated February 13th 1984
13 wasn't asbestos brake lining
14 right on the top right
14
A.
I would assume it's asbestos
15
A.
Yes
15 We probably did not change these forms until I would
16
Q.
And this is reflecting an order from
16
-- I would assume '86 '87
17 Abex to Reddaway correct
17
Q.
Give me -- well first of all you
18
A.
Yes
18 will agree with me that what the form says on its
19
Q.
And what -- can you tell from
19 face is two bales of asbestos brake lining correct
20 looking at the order what it appears that they are
20
A.
Correct
21 ordering
21
Q.
Okay
22
A.
They ordered five by a 1/4 250
22
But your testimony is you believe
23 feet That came in 25 foot rolls They ordered 100 | 23 that even though the form says that that it was
24 feet of three by 8's and it says the following
24 really asbestos
25 heavy duty woven lining
25
Is that what you are saying
1
Q. Okay
Page 19
1
A.
Yes
2
And where it says Part Number 258
2
Q.
Tell me --
Page 21
3 do those part numbers have any meaning to you
4
A.
I have no idea what that is
5
Q.
6 numbers
So perhaps those may be Abex part
3
A.
And the reason I'm saying that is in
4 early 1983 we were in full production of the
5 asbestos We turn our inventory three times a
6 year So this would mean there would be no more
7
A.
Yes It's not our number
7 asbestos in those sizes
8
Q.
Okay
9
Now go in a few pages to the page
10 that's bottom right Reddaway584
11
A.
584
8
Q.
9
10
A.
11 8's
Okay
And when you say those sizes --
The thickness the 1/4 and the
12
Q.
Okay
12
Q.
Okay
13
What is this document if you know
13
Are there any documents that would
14
A.
I would assume the Bill of Lading
14 support your contention that Reddaway switched to
15
It's part of the paperwork
15 asbestos for these sizes prior to 1984
16
Q. Right
16
Are there any documents
17
Does it appear to be dated
17
A.
Yes there is
18 April 3rd 1984
19
A.
Yes it does
20
Q. Okay
22222
And this is a Reddaway form right
22222
It says Reddaway on the top right
23
A.
Yes it is
24
Q.
Then there's the tradename Redco
25
A.
Yes
18
Q.
What documents would support that
19
A.
There's a price -- there's new
20 pricing on it
21
Q.
Where would you have those
22 documents
23
If you need to take a break to talk

Q.
When did you get the information

A.
From the time I started working at
4
5 Reddaway until the point he -- he passed away I got | 5
6 information from him on a daily basis
6
7
Q. Okay
7
8
And what is it that your testimony
8
9 -- what's your testimony in terms of what Bill Barton | 9
10 told you about the switching to asbestos
10
11
A.
He -- he told me when we changed
11
12 over why we did the sizes that we did first and
12
13 that there was still a big demand in Canada for the
13
14 oil field So they ran that until the end Those
14
15 oil field sizes are 4's inch inch and an 1/8
15
16
MR BOUCH You said 4's
16
17
I'm sorry would you repeat that

18 |
The oil field sizes are 4's --
18
19
THE WITNESS Well the big oil
19
20 field sizes are one inch and an inch and an 1/8 and 20

Yeah
Q.
Okay
When did he pass away if you know
If you don't know --

I don't have that exact date
Q.
Okay
Warren Conway is he still alive

He's deceased also
Q.
the company
A.
Okay What was Mr. Barton's position at
President
Q.
And what was Mr. Conway's position
A.
Vice President
Q. thick
Okay Okay
So you mentioned the one inch
So what you're saying is it was offered through 1985 to '86 not sure the exact
cutoff but believes the last of it went to Canada
A.
Yes
2222 CONTINUATION 2222 BY MR HUGHES
23
Q.
24 in Canada
That's because there were oil fields
25
Q.
Okay
25
A.
Yes
Page 27

So if it was an inch thick it was
1
2 not -- well strike that
2

How long are you saying that
3
4 Reddaway offered the inch thick --

5
A.
The inch thick
5
6
Q.
-- asbestos version of the woven
6
17
A.
Until '86
7
8
Q.
Okay
8
9
And it was offered right up through
9
10 = November of 186
10
11
A.
I wouldn't know exactly the -- the
11
12 cutoff point
12
13
Q.
Okay
13
14
A.
I do know that the last of it went
14
15 to Canada
15
16
Q.
So it was offered through sometime
16
17 in '86 is what you think
17
18
A.
'85 '86 In that -- in that range
18
19
Q.
And the last of it went to Canada
19
20
A.
Yes
20
21
Q.
And what's your basis for saying
21
2222 that the last of it went to Canada
22
2222
A.
Through conversations with Warren
23
2222 Conway and F.W. Barton
24
2222
Q.
F.W. Barton is the same as Bill
25
Page 29
Q.
And your basis for that is talking
to Mr. Barton and Mr. Conway
A.
Yes
Q.
Okay
Have you seen any documents to
support that part of what you're saying
A.
There is a document It's -- could
have been a Reddaway Newsletter
Q.
Okay
A.
It was -- it was given to you
Q.
What did it say if you remember
A.
It said that we're ceasing
production of asbestos lining
Q. Okay
That was one of those 1986
documents
A.
Yes
Q. Okay
Like the Facts and Fiction
A.
Yes
Q. Okay
Then
--
A.
It also said on that that our
Canada customers were using it to the end or
something to that effect

It does mention the Canadian

A.
Yes
Page 32
3 customers on there
3
4
Q. Okay
4
5
Going back you said an inch and an
5
6 1/8 Would that be in the category that was offered
6
7 through '85 or '86
7
8
A.
Yes
8
Q.
So you would have 4000 or 5000 --
A.
Yes
Q.
-- spools of yarn
A.
Yes
Q.
-- on the machine
A.
Yes
9
Q. Okay
10
And was it the same reason because
11 it was being used for oil fields
12
A.
Yes
13
Q.
And you said 4's inch
14
A.
Yes

13
Q.
14 machines
How big would the machine be
Size of this room --
Okay with everything
Do you all still have any of those
15
Q.
Was that also in this group that you /| 15
16 were saying was offered through 1985 '86
16
A.
Yes
Q.
So for the 3/4 inch -- for the 3/4
17
A.
Yes
17 inch are we talking about one machine or more than
18
I'm sure that the 4's was phased
18 one
19 out before the inch an inch and an 1/8 Each one of | 19
A.
One
222222 these is made in a separate loom separate machine
20
Q.
One machine
222222
Q.
Okay
21
All right
222222
So -- all right Okay
22
And so what steps did Reddaway have
222222
So I guess taking the 3/4 inch
222 to go through for the 3/4 inch --
222222 walk me through the machinery that it was made on
222
A.
Okay
222222 that's pertinent to the switching to asbestos
25
Q.
-- to get it to asbestos
1
A.
Okay
Page 31 1
Page 33
A.
It's the same for all of the looms
2
Q.
You mentioned a loom and you're
2 but on the 3/4 what they -- what they did they ran
3 going to have to forgive my ignorance on this one
3 a complete -- ran all of the asbestos yarn out --
4
So the asbestos -- Reddaway bought
4
Q.
Yes sir
5
--
yarn
5
A.
-- and then once the asbestos yarn
6
A.
Yes
6 was run out they'd run it -- they'd run all of the
7
Q.
-- as a raw material
7 spools down to the minimum which is as low as they
8
Never bought powder right
8 could run it Then they would tie all of the new
9
A.
No.
9 asbestos yarn in to pull it through --
10
Q.
Okay
10
Q.
Okay
11
And the yarn comes in spools --
11
A.
- and then at that point it didn't
12
A.
Yes
12 work
13
Q.
-- right
14
And now tell me what for the 3/4
15 inch what would you do -- how would you turn those
16 spools into the product
17
A.
Okay
18
On the 3/4 inch that -- that
2222222 machine only made 3/4 inch one thickness
2222222
Q.
What machine
2222222
A.
It's called a 3/4 inch machine or
2222222 loom
2222222
Q. Okay
2222222
A.
Then on that machine there's
2222222 roughly between four and 5,000 spools of yarn
13
Q.
Okay
14
A.
So we had big problems because the
15 yarns were different the tensions were different
16 Everything was different about them
17
Q.
Okay
18
A.
So they thought that maybe -- they
19 really weren't sure how it was going to go It went
20 terribly
21
So springs had to be changed
22 Research and development through all this had -- had
23 to be changed and they got the new yarn in it and to
24 run in the machines
25
So once they did that there was a

Pages 34..37
Page 34
1 lot of parts that had to be changed they couldn't go | 1
2 backwards
2
Q.
Okay
A.
- back then
Page 36
3
Q.
Now
--
3
They definitely started with the
4
A.
None of the machines ever used
4 much smaller thickness though
5 asbestos after they went to asbestos because
5
Q.
How do you know that again
6 they had to do too much work to get them to change
6
A.
I was told that
7 them to run the new yarn
7
Q.
By Mr. Conway and Mr. Barton
8
Q. Okay
8
A.
Yes There's less yarn in the -- in
9
So what you're saying is when --
9 the 1/4 inch versus the 16's and versus the 8's
10 when the company switched to asbestos it turned | 10 So that would be the first loom that they changed
11 out that the yarn had different qualities --
11 over and then they -- they just kept going up the
12
A.
Yes
12 line
13
Q.
-- in terms of things like the
13
14 tension that needed to be maintained and you all had | 14
15 to modify or retrofit --
15
16
A.
Yes
16
17
Q.
-- the loom machinery --
17
18
A.
Yes
18
19
Q.
-- to accommodate the asbestos
19
20 = yarn
20
21
A.
Yes
21
22
Q.
I suppose that -- would that problem | 22
23 have first been noticed when you were trying to make | 23
24 the first change to asbestos on one of these
24
25 machines
25
Q.
Okay
So there would -- so if it is
1/4 inch thick presumably it uses less yarn to
produce
A.
Yes Less spools of yarn on it
Q.
To produce the same length
A.
Yes
Q.
Okay
So would the machine for the 1/4
inch have less spools on it
A.
Yes
Q.
Would it have thousands of spools
A.
Let me -- let me explain
Page 35
1
A.
Yes That's why in the late 70's
1
2 they actually started this process Maybe early
2
80's
3
4
Q.
So in the late 70's or early 80's
4
5 is when you're saying the process of switching to
5
6 asbestos started
6
7
A.
Yes
7
8
Q.
And when do you believe -- when
8
9 would have been the first time that Reddaway
9
10 physically started trying to run asbestos yarn
10
11 for any of its sizes
11
12
A.
It had to be early 80's because in
12
|
13 1983 they actually had a stock of it It was ready 13
14 to be sold
|
14
15
Q.
And so when the conversion's being
15
16 made in the early 80's would that have been for
16
17 for example the 1/4 inch thickness
17
18
A.
Yes
18
19
Q.
And then you mentioned 16's
19
20
Would that have been --
20
21
A.
Yes
21
22
Q.
Now would those be two different
23 looms one for 1/4 inch and one for 16's or do you
24 ~~ know
25
A.
Wouldn't know on that --
22
| 23
24 25
Q.
Okay
Page 37
A.
Okay
Let's take 1/4 inch and 1/2 inch
just round numbers say 1/4 inch loom has 2000 spools
of yarn on it
Q.
Yeah
A.
1/2 inch would have 4000
Those aren't the numbers but that's
just you know it would double by thickness
Q.
Okay
A.
It's probably say 1000 -- say 1000
spools on the 1/4 and 2000 on the 1/2
In those ranges
Q.
Okay
Now the switch -- so you are saying
-- now you mentioned -- I wrote down earlier -- 1/4
inch 16's 8's and 1/2 inch
A.
Yes
Q.
Are you saying all four -- all of
those four sizes were switched at the same time or
were they switched sequentially or do you know
A.
Do not know
Q.
Okay All right
Do you believe that all four of
those sizes were switched in the same early 80's

Pages 38..41
1 time period
2
A.
Yes
Page 38 1
Page 40
Q.
Because when you set out your
2 product information sheet on April 1 1983 you
3
Q.
And is that because you're saying
3 already had stock ready to sell
4 that by 1983 Reddaway had stock of those four
4
A.
Yes
5 sizes
5
Q.
Okay
6
A.
Yes
6
Now what is your basis for saying
7
Q.
Okay
8
A.
That sheet Exhibit --
7 that there wasn't a period of time when Reddaway 8 wasn't selling say the 1/4 inch asbestos and
9
Q.
Right
9 also the 1/4 inch asbestos
10
A.
-- that just confirms what I was
10
Are you saying that would take two
11 told
11 separate looms to make if you wanted to do them both
12
Q.
Okay and that's what I was looking
12
A.
Yeah They never did both
13 for
13
Q.
Okay
14
Okay
14
A.
Once they changed the loom over
15
Now if I look at Exhibit page
15 that was it
16 one it says sizes available thickness 1/4
16
Q.
And they would have one loom for --
17 16's 8's and one half right
17 so for 1/4 inch --
18
A.
Yes
18
A.
Yes
19
Q.
Okay
222222
And is the reason why Reddaway
222222 switched those sizes first did it have to do with
222222 there being less spools in the machine or had to do
222222 with the market with regards to oil fields or
222222 something different
25
A.
This was not an oil field size
19
Q.
-- there would be one particular
20 loom that would make it --
21
A.
Yes
22
Q.
- and not two looms
23
A.
One loom
22
Q.
Okay
25
And Reddaway at all times just had
Page 39
1
This was an industrial size
1 one facility
Page 41
2
Q.
Right
2
A.
Yes that's it
3
A.
So the industrial got switched
3
Q.
And manufacturing and the office are
4 before the oil field
4 in the same facility
5
Q.
But was the thing that was driving
5
A.
Yes
6 it you're saying was the fact that it was less spools | 60
7 on the loom or something else
7
Q.
Okay
The looms - machines -- so the
8
A.
It could have been that and then
8 looms say that had to be -- strike that
9 also that it was the industrial sizes that they
9
So for the 1/4 inch would that
10 switched over first
10 loom have had to have the alterations because of the
11
Q. Okay
12
A.
It was the demand The industrial
13 side of it went to asbestos before the oil field
14 side of it
15
Q.
But why
16
What would be the driver for that
17
A.
That's -- that's just how it was
18
Q.
But your testimony under oath is
19 that from Mr. Barton and Mr. Conway your
20 understanding is that those -- the sizes from a 1/4
21 inch to 1/2 inch were switched first
22
A.
Yes
11 tensions being different
12
A.
Every -- every loom had to be
13 changed over
14
Q.
Okay
15
Would there be records that would
16 show those changes for example drawings or engineer
17
--
18
A.
No.
19
Q.
-- or anything like that
20
A.
No.
21
Q.
How do you know there aren't any
2222
A.
I searched for them
222
Q.
And that happened prior to April 1
2222
222 1983
2222
Q.
Okay
So that the machine that makes the
25
A.
Yes it did
25 1/4 inch is that machine still at Reddaway today

10 factory They were built into the floors
10 was basically November 186 we were completely
11
Q.
Oh really
11 out of it We started purging the system prior to
12
A.
Yeah
12 that year That was the deadline We wanted
13
Q.
So --
13 everything out of the plant All asbestos products
14
A.
These -- these looms were all like
14 in any way shape or form And we were already in
15 1890
15 the process We already had our asbestos out

At page 83 -- at the bottom of page
2
A.
I wouldn't know that
3 82 you're asked what is the RNAW and that is the
4 asbestos woven right
5
A.
Yes
6
Q.
Then you're asked what's the RBW
7
That's the Redco bonded woven
8
That's the asbestos
3
Q.
Okay
4
The product information sheet that's
5 Exhibit was that internal or was that sent outside
6 of the company
7
Do you know
8
A.
I don't have three
9
A.
Yes
10
Q.
Okay
11
And then at the bottom of page 83
12 there's the question so both were being
13 manufactured prior to that time
14
And you said yes right
15
Do you see that at the bottom of the
16 page
17
A.
asbestos being manufactured
18 prior -- wait -- wait
19
Q.
It says was asbestos being
20 manufactured prior to November 18 '86
21
You said yes
22222
A.
Yes
22222
Q.
And then -- so both were being
22222 manufactured prior to that time
25
A.
Yes
9
Q.
It's probably underneath there
10
A.
Oh three
11
No. This would have been sent to
12 our customers
13
Q.
Okay
14
If you know was the asbestos
15 the RNAW was that able to hold up under the same
16 conditions as the RBW the asbestos version
17
A.
Yes
18
Q.
Okay
19
A.
It was a direct replacement
20
Q.
Okay
21
Did Reddaway publicize to its
22 customers when it was switching to asbestos for
23 any given run of these widths of the woven line or
24 did Reddaway just do it didn't say anything about
25 it because they both work the same
1
Q. Okay
Page 47
1
A.
I wouldn't know
2
But what you're saying now is when
2
Q.
You don't know
Page 49
3 both were being manufactured what that meant was
3
A.
Couldn't answer that
4 say the 1/4 inch might have switched to
5 asbestos --
6
A.
Yes
7
Q.
-- but the one inch was still on
8 asbestos because you hadn't fixed the loom yet
9
A.
Yes
10
Q.
Is that what you're saying
11
A.
Yes
12
Q. Okay
13
Let me show you some more of these
4
Q.
All right
5
So you don't know when if ever
6 Abex might have learned that the lining it was buying
7 no longer had asbestos in it
8
A.
I wouldn't know that either
9
Q.
Okay
10
And just to go back to this last
11 page of Exhibit
12
When was a price list first issued
13 that showed the RNAW on it
14 invoices
15
Let see
16
If you go -- go back to Exhibit
17 which is the one with the invoices or the sales
18
record --
14 15 16 17 18
Do you know
A.
I wouldn't know that either
Q.
Have you ever seen the actual price
list that's being referenced on the last page of

A.
Okay
20
Q.
-- and then Exhibit the Product
22222 Information Sheet
22222
Would something have been sent to
22222 Abex if you know
22222
Would anything have been sent from
25 Reddaway to Abex informing Abex that there was a
19
A.
No I have not
20
Q.
Okay
21
Do you know if that price list
22 showed prices for both asbestos containing and
23 asbestos containing products

6 was identical
7
Q.
Yeah that says private brand

Q.
Okay

Is that the same thing as

So if you had Abex ordering some
9 branding or no
9 rolls and then -- and they are going to end up
10
Or do you know
10 selling it as Abex and then another company orders

How do you know -- are you certain

Q.
Okay Okay

5
A.
Well wait a minute
5 be used whether the order was being filled with

It would have to be -- it would have
6 asbestos or asbestos
7 to be per foot because if you have times A hundred | 7
8 feet times 12.95 wouldn't that give you 1295

12
Sitting here today you don't know

7 are you saying it would have a label on it that said
8 Reddaway

A.
The label could -- it said -- it
10 could have said bonded woven It have could have

Yes but they were Fiberglass

6 asbestos
Remember I wasn't there with the
7
Q.
All right
8
You never saw a roll of lining being

11
A.
True
12
Q. Okay
12
13
A.
Everybody knew what our label looked | 13

Q.
-- the company had switched
Is that correct
A.
True
15 label
16
Q.
Okay
17
But -- and you're saying that that
18 label actually said Reddaway or Redco on it
19
A.
I wouldn't know exactly -- it could
20 have said woven At that time period I don't know
21
I know at one point it did say -- it
22 just said Redco on it I know at one point it just
23 said heavy duty woven I know at one point it said

Q. Okay
The copy of your old deposition

Q. Okay
Now in this deposition -- I'm going
to start halfway down that page

5
Q. Okay
4
A.
Okay
5
Q.
Do you see where it says and these
6
A.
Like if I saw a lining in
6 stickers would have been on the burlap bag
7 somebody's plant I knew it was mine just by the
7
Is that correct
8 label
9
Q.
Did you physically see rolls that
10 were sold to Abex that had the labels on them
8
A.
And these stickers would have been
9 on the burlap bag
10
Yes
11
A.
Repeat that
12
That Reddaway shipped out
11
Q.
And the answer is yes right
12
A.
Yes

Q.
Yeah --
14
A.
Yes

And then you say so everybody -
15 they were visible for everybody to see
16
A.
Yes
17
Q.
You saw some of those rolls
18
A.
Yes
19
Q. Okay
17
Q.
Okay

Next question was were they ever
19 actually placed on the friction block themselves
20
And what did you see
21
Did they have the labels on them
22
A.
It had a manila little label on it
23 that had the size on it
20
Answer they could have been
21
A.
Okay
2222
You are talking a friction block

A.
There could have been on each block
2 the question is you're speculating at this time
2 but there was always one on the outside of the box
3
Answer yes
3 because it was packaged in a box
4
So the way I read that is you're
5 not sure whether a label was actually put on the
6 friction blocks

Okay
First tell me the difference
Okay
A friction block is just a block of
Okay
Would it be woven or molded
Yeah Okay What would happen -- okay -Just walk me through it in your own
8
A.
Every lining had -- roll of lining
| 9 had a label on it
10
You got to remember a block is a
11 finished product drilled ready to bolt on There's
12 no cutting No drilling There's nothing that has
13 to be done to that
14
A roll of lining has to be cut
15 Therefore OSHA regulations state that it has to have
16 the tag on every roll of lining
17
Q. Okay
18
A.
We technically didn't even have to
19 put it on the box but we put it on the box of every
20 brake block that went out even though it was
21 completely -- no drilling no cutting to be done

Now I think you were saying a

Did Reddaway ever sell the molded

9
A.
No. We did not
10
Q.
How do you know that you didn't
11
A.
They made their own
12
They were a molded manufacturer
13 They weren't going to buy that from us
14
Q. Okay

So your understanding is Abex was
16 able to manufacture the molded rolls of lining
17
A.
I really don't know
18
I mean they're a molded plant
19
Q. Okay
20

A.
Yes
15
Q.
Okay
16
What was if you know Reddaway's
17 policy on providing MSDS sheets to its customers
18
A.
When a new customer bought from us
19 they would always get a packet and it would always
20 have the Material Safety Data Sheet in it
21
Q.
Okay
22
A.
Every couple of years we just send
23 out to all of our customers a new updated one
24 every time we updated it It could have been two or

3
A.
It was our policy We sent it to

MR HUGHES Okay
7
So --
8
THE WITNESS And we also followed

5
Q.
Okay Let's see
6
So this a MSDS sheet this is for
7 the product RBW the woven brake lining rolls 8 right
9
A.
Yes
10 steps to what they wanted with -- with the Material
11 Safety Data Sheets
12

10
Q. Okay

And the raw material yarn would be
12 about 75 percent asbestos

13 14 form
MR HAMILTON Objection to the
15
Q. Okay
16
That leads to my next question
17
When did -- if you know did
18 Reddaway first put out an MSDS sheet for the RBW
22222222
A.
I know that we had it in 1972
22222222
Prior to that I wouldn't have that
15
MR HUGHES Just in reading old
16 depositions of 30 6 witnesses for Reddaway I
17 read that the yarn's raw material would have about
18 75 percent asbestos and then once it was turned into
19 the RBW it would go down to about 50 percent 20 asbestos
22222222 information
22222222
Q.
Okay
21 22 form
MR HAMILTON Objection to the
22222222
And Exhibit on the bottom right
23
22222222 it says Form OSHA Then underneath it says Rev. | 24

Q.
So is it your testimony that
3 Exhibit that list MSDS sheet may have dated back
4 to 1972
5
MR BOUCH Object to the form of
6 that question
7
THE WITNESS Let me read this
8
Yes
2
Q.
Is that your understanding
3
A.
I wouldn't have any information on
4 that I don't have the knowledge
5
Q. Okay
6
So as to the amount of asbestos in
7 the yarn roll material you don't know how much of it
8 was asbestos
9
--
9
A.
I -- I wouldn't have any idea
10 CONTINUATION
10
Q.
Okay
11 BY MR HUGHES
11
A.
It's not -- not those amounts
12
Q. Okay
12 though in talking to Bill Barton It was lower
13
Do you know if this MSDS sheet
13 amounts 20's 30's in the percentage wise
14 Exhibit if this form of MSDS sheet was ever sent | 14
Q.
In the yarn
15 to Abex
16
A.
Yes it was It was sent to all of
15
A.
Yeah I never heard 70 yeah I've
16 never heard 75
17 our customers
17
Q.
So -
18
Q. Okay
18
A.
It would be impossible for it to be
19
When it was sent do you know
19 75 because half of the material is resins The
20 whether anything was sent with it
20 other half is yarn 30 percent of the yarn -- or
21
A.
Sometimes they sent just the
21 30 percent of the yarn is brass So right there
22 Material Safety Data Sheets to all of the customers | 22 puts it at a completely different ratio
23 Like if we updated it basically it was the date
23
Q.
In your deposition from 1993
24 because we didn't change anything on it Then they
24 Exhibit if you go to page 48
25 would have been sent a new one at that time

4
A.
This was a common yarn in the
4 BY MR HUGHES
5 industry Anybody in our industry bought the same
5
6 yarn It was called a commercial grade asbestos It | 6
7 was 75 percent asbestos and 25 percent organic
7
8
Okay Okay Okay so -- okay
8
9
So so put it at 75 percent but
9
10 then the other -- the other fit so that would still | 10
11 put it at 35 40 percent just what I just said
11
12
Q.
Okay
12
13
Well --
13
14
A.
See because you're going by the
14
15 MSDS sheet which has the resins and the yarn
15
16 = together
16
17
Q.
Right
17
18
The MSDS sheet reflects what's in
18
19 the final product the RBW product that Reddaway
19
Q.
What's the percentage of asbestos --
well do you have any understanding as to the
percentage of the finished product that was asbestos
A.
Just going by these percentages --
Q.
Okay
A.
of my knowledge
roughly 30 percent to the best
Q.
Okay
So first looking back at the MSDS
sheet what's the MSDS sheet say
A.
That says 50 percent asbestos
Q. Okay
Are you saying under oath the MSDS sheet was wrong
A.
No.
222222 would manufacture --
222222
A.
Okay
222222
Q.
-- right
222222
A.
50 to 60 percent of the product is
20
MR BOUCH Objection to form
21 Calling on the witness
22 23 form
MR HAMILTON Objection to the
222222 resin So if the yarn was 100 percent that would
24
222222 still only put it at 40 or 50 percent asbestos but
25
MR HUGHES Okay
THE WITNESS It would be 30 40
Page 99
1 the yarn actually has 30 percent brass in it It's
1 50 percent It's not 75 though
2 just one of the ingredients So that knocks it down | 2

3 -- that knocks the yarn down that much more
3 CONTINUATION
Page 101
4
See what I'm saying
4 BY MR HUGHES
5
Q.
Okay We're getting there
6
So the yarn itself when the yarn
7 would come in on spools --
8
A.
Yes
.
5
Q. Okay
6
But would you -- the MSDS sheet
7 indicates 50 percent asbestos --
8
A.
Yes
9
Q.
-- is it correct that the yarn would

10 be 75 percent asbestos 25 percent organic
10
Q.
-- Correct
A.
Yes
11
A.
Yes
12
Q.
Okay
11
Q.
And 50 percent aromatic
12 hydrocarbons --
13
And I can tell you in Mr. Barton's
13
A.
Yes
14 deposition in 1995 that's what he said as well
14
15
A.
Yes
15
Q.
-- which would include resin --
A.
Yes
16
Q.
Okay
16
Q.
- phenolic resin right
17
MR BOUCH Objection to the form
17
A.
Yes
18
THE WITNESS But then when you add
18
19 the resin -- now say that's 40 percent of the whole | 19
Q. Okay
So would you agree with me that up
20 product
222222 to 50 percent of the RBW product could be asbestos
21
MR HUGHES Right
21
A.
I would agree

10 document that says '87 asbestos
11
A.
Customers could still have some and
12 need -- need to post this safety data sheet

People could have asked for this
14 sheet for years afterward because they had -- they 15 had to do what OSHA said and they had to post it to 16 protect their employees
17
Q.
Okay
18
So are you saying in 19 -- what
19 you're saying is in 1987 you could have a customer

Do you know who went to the

14
A.
15 either
Wouldn't have any of that knowledge
10
MR BOUCH I am going to object
11
These documents if any of the pages
12 are dated many of the pages are unrelated and
13 seeing that the first four pages are a list of
14 members the shipper only one of them has a date on
15 it
16
Q.
And I take it Reddaway doesn't have
17 any materials they may have received from them
18
A.
Nothing no
19
Q.
For the FMSI am I reading this
20 correct it was Mr. Eggert and Mr. Barton that would
21 have attended the meetings for the FMSI
16
The last one two -- or the next two
17 pages appear to be bulletins dated in the 80's and
18 then the last -- next two pages rather appear to be
19 lists of members again undated and the last page
20 is an attendance list at a meeting that has a date on
21 it
22
Is that right
23
A.
Yeah I think I think Mr. Barton
24 most of the time
| yeah 25
Maybe one year or two years I think
22
So to the extent counsel is trying
23 to imply that if you're listed on the '62 list it
24 continued to the '85 list I object -- or '81
25 '81 list I object

Yeah This -- this is a little part

5
Q.
Okay
6
A.
~~
--
per per drawing It says per
7 drawing So they sent us a drawing --
8
Q.
Yup
9
A.
-- and we made a part out of it
10
Q. Okay
11
A.
Then we sent 100 parts back to them
3
Q.
-- but they didn't use that phrase
4 for any of the invoices to Abex before 1986
5
A.
This is completely different This
6 is -- we had a drawing The drawing may have
7 specified that exact term on it
8
Q.
Okay
9
So this -- these -- and this
10 fabricated product was made out of the RNAW
11 asbestos sheet
12
Q.
13 roll
So that -- this was not sent as a
14
A.
No.
15
Q.
All right
16
But was the -- can you tell from
17 this was the roll lining used by Reddaway to
18 fabricate the part
19
A.
I don't know what it was RNAW
20 asbestos I don't know if it was in roll or
21 not
22
Q. Okay
221
A.
Probably not
221
Q.
Okay
25
Well if it's 1/4 inch RNAW
12
A.
I don't know what it was made out
13 of It was made out of RNAW asbestos I don't
14 know I don't even know what the part looks like
15
Q. Okay
16
A.
So I wouldn't know what they --
17 what they -- you know what they -- if they made it 18 out of a flat sheet If they made it out of a roll
19 = lining
20
Q. Okay
21
But clearly as of September 1983
22 the 1/4 inch RNAW asbestos existed
23
A.
Yes
24
Q.
Okay
25
So is it your testimony that as of
1 asbestos --
2
A.
Flat -- flat woven sheet
3
Q.
Okay All right
Page 223
Page 225
1 September 183 the 1/4 inch asbestos lining was no
2 longer being made
3
A.
Can't answer that
4
Now this -- this invoice is dated
4
Q.
Why not
5 from September 1983 correct
5
A.
We don't know We know it wasn't
6
A.
Yes
6 being made We don't know if we had it
7
Q.
And in this invoice it does
7
Q.
Okay
8 expressly use the phrase RNAW asbestos correct
8
A.
This particular print had a RNAW on
9
A.
Yes

10
Q. Okay
10 want the other one they wanted this one
11
But you have not seen any -- do you
11
Q. Okay
12 agree with me there are no Reddaway invoices to Abex | 12
But again would you have been
13 from before 1987 that say RNAW or asbestos on
13 using the machines the looms for this 1/4 inch RNAW
14 them
14 asbestos
15
A.
I've looked through them as well as
16 you I didn't see any
17
Q.
Okay So help me out
18
Can you explain why Reddaway would
19 be using the phrase RNAW asbestos to identify a
20 product that's asbestos in 1983 in this invoice
21 for the East Paterson Machine Company but --
22
A.
Maybe because --
23
MR HAMILTON Let him finish the
24 question
25
~--
15
A.
Oh yeah
16
Q.
So if it was -- if you were
17 manufacturing that by September 183 you wouldn't be

Q.
Beginning in 1972 Reddaway put
2
A.
Yes
3 warning or caution labels on its asbestos containing
3
Q.
Okay
4 products that left its facility correct
4
And you started with the smaller
5
A.
Yes
5 width or diameter products and moved to the bigger
6
Q.
And they went on all the products
6 sizes
7 that contained asbestos regardless of the customer
7
A.
Yes
8
A.
Yes
8
Q.
And the reason that you articulated
9
Q.
And one of the reasons you know that
9 that was the larger sizes were used in the oil field
10 is you discussed this with earlier executives of the 10 servicing industry in Canada who had a demand
11 company who had been there prior to your coming to
11 specifically for asbestos
12 work there correct
12
A.
Repeat that question
13
A.
Correct
13
Q.
Okay
14
Q.
And another reason you know that is | 14
The reason you started with the
15 you've discussed it with the shipping manager who
15 smaller size material and went to the larger was the
16 predated your first day of employment
16 larger sizes had a specific demand from the oil field
17
A.
Yes
17 services industry mostly in Canada
18
Q.
And that the method of adding labels | 18
A.
That was part of it
19 to the products leaving the company has been the same | 19
The other was the smaller -- they
20 since 1972 until today
20 were smaller machines to change over and get
21
A.
Well we -- we quit using burlap at
2222 a certain point --
21
running --
~
222222
Q.
Okay
2222
Q.
Right
222222
A.
-- and learn how to do it
2222
A.
-- and that would be -- let me
2222 think So that would be late 90's early 2000
222222
Q.
And you discussed this with us that
25 the -- the particular looms were custom built looms
1
Q.
Okay Okay
Page 235
Page 237
1 for your company that date back to the 1890's --
2
But -- but the method of attaching
2
A.
Yes
3 it to the container --
3
Q.
-- and that these looms had
4
A.
Yes
5
Q.
--
--
wrapper
4 hundreds if not thousands of individual spools per
5 machine
6
A.
Yes
6
A.
Yes
7
Q.
-- whatever it is and attaching it
8 to product has remained consistent --
9
A.
Yes
10
Q.
-- as far as you know --
11
A.
Yes
7
Q.
And you discussed the fact that
8 when you changed over from asbestos to asbestos
9 considerable work and adjustments had to be made to
10 those looms to effect that change
11
A.
Yes
12
Q.
13
A.
14
15 question
16
-- until at least mid --
The only difference is --
MR HAMILTON Let him finish his
MR BOUCH -- at least until
12
Q.
And for that reason once they were
13 changed over you did not go back and manufacture
14 asbestos containing materials once the asbestos
15 products were produced
16
A.
True
17 1972 correct
18
THE WITNESS Yes

21 BY MR BOUCH
22
Q.
Okay
23
Beginning in early 1980's possibly
24 as early or probably as early as 1981 in your
25 woven asbestos linings Reddaway began to phase out
17
Q.
Okay
18
I believe you also stated that it
19 was your belief as President of the company and
20 your experience that the inventory manufactured by 21 Reddaway changed over approximately three times a
22 year
23
A.
Yes
24
Q. Okay

A.
No it has not

6
A.
Yes
7 of Mr. Barton and Mr. Eggert previously given in
8 other asbestos suits against Reddaway
9
A.
I looked over that yes

13 chrysotile asbestos yarn would you have any
13
Q.
Okay
And that if products did not contain
14 information that could be contrary to that testimony 14 asbestos they would of course not contain an
15
A.
No.
15 asbestos caution or warning label
16
Q.
If Mr. Barton and Mr. Eggert
16
A.
No they would not
17 discussed the fact that amphibole asbestos or

1
2 part 2
3
Q. Right
3
4
A.
I have no idea what the part looked
4
5 like but it would have been on the print and it

6 would have said what material to use for the part
6
7
Q. Exactly
7
8
And that particular product was not
8
9 something you had in inventory or on the shelf , but 9
10 you made specifically for this particular --
10
11
A.
This one person That's it
11
12
Q.
Okay All right
12
13

13
14 standard shelf product
14
15

Q.
It would have been a custom made
16
17
A.
Yes
17
18
Q. Okay
18
19

20 been in your experience custom type as opposed to a | 20
21 form that you might use for shelf or
21
22 inventory materials
22
23
A.
