d i The reason for this sort of statement and (2 ) objection is that w e need to focus on the products that (3) are at is$ue in this lawsuit, because if we spend a lot (4) of time on other products, we're not going to be here (5) beyond today.

(1) A. In our engineering obsolete file. (2 ) Q. Did you search there for documents that would (3) be responsive to the Notice of Deposition? (4) A. Yes. (5> Q. So did you see any part drawings there? (6) MR. RIEHLE: I'm notsure you asked for (i) those. (s i' MS. SHINING: Q. W ere there documents there (9) that - part drawings that have not been produced? (io) A. The m anufacturing drawings, yes. ( i n MR. RIEHLE: If you would want to send us a (1 2 ) request for production of those, w e would be willing to <i3) produce those pursuant to a protective order, the (14) engineering drawings themselves. (15) MS. SHINING: I will make a note of that, (1 6 ) and I would assert that they are responsive to Category ( i n No. 6, which calls for "all writings in your possession uai pertaining to arcing machines." There are a number of <19) categories that do talk about - actually, it says ( 2 0 "specifications." And I would think a parts drawing -- (2 i) MR. RIEHLE: W e don't have a problem (221 producing those, and we will. But that's something we (23) would need a protective order for, because they are (24) proprietary. (25) MS. SHINING: The product hasn't been*2416

(1 8 ) MR. RIEHLE: That's fine. If you want to (U ) shortcut that, we can handle that informally. (1 2 ) MS. SHINING: Q. So do you recall --and I (13) apologize if I've asked this -- which o f the model U4> numbers you believe to have been the original model (is) number? Would it have been the 880? (16) A. That would be a guess. ( i n Q. So w e have the 880, the 890, the 8000. Can (18) you think of any other model numbers for arcing <i9i machines made by Ammco? (2 o> A. I think th e re w a s a 2000.

i d shoe grinder. * 2) Q. Earlier you described products as
brake (3) lathes and accessories. Would you consider this dust (4) collection system to be an accessory? (5) MR. RIEHLE: Overbroad. () TH E W ITNESS: This became, actually, both. (7> Ammco felt that all brake grinders should have this ie) dust collection system, so it became a permanent part (so o f the shoe grinder. But it was also offered as an ( i d accessory to update all those who had purchased shoe ( in grinders in the past 2 2 ) M S .S H IN IN G : Q. Atsom e point Arco started ( i n selling its arcing machines with dust collection ( i n systems? is) MR. RIEHLE: Ammco. (is) MR. RIEHLE: Askthe question again, i n i MS.

W ere you able to locate any pictures, (12) drawings, or other visual representations of that d3) previous system in your search for records? (io A. The documents that you are to receive shortly (isi have pictures in them. (16.) MR. RIEHLE: Can we have these Bates stamped u n pages marked as separate exhibits? I'm a little (isi concerned having them marked as one exhibit when they (is) are actually different documents. Let's have the <201 document that's Bates stamped H 15 marked as D-1, the (2 1 ) document Bates stamped H 16 as D-2, and the document (22) Bates stamped H 17 as D-3.

Page 183
(l) the older system? W as it by a metal band that would (2 ) tighten? (3) A. I believe so. (4) Q. is it substantially thesame as that 15) illustrated on Exhibit D-1, Parts 4 and 5? (6) A. Yes. m Q. And, again, was therea gasket at the bottom (8) of the bag, or was this all one bag in the old system? is) A. T h e old system ju s t had a bag. It didn't (io) have this (indicating), didn't have the bucket, didn't m i have the gasket, it w as ju s t a closed bag. ( i 2 ) Q. So, with the old system you w o u ld re m o v e - (i3j you w o u ld -w a s there a screw that you would ( ) untighten?
(is) A. T h e re w a s this stud show n in this picture > th a t released this d ip , and you would rem ove the whole a n bag and d um p in. ns) Q. So the stud, is that the same as in D-1, Part (is) No. 1? 120) A. Yes. (2D Q. Could you remove what's identified as Part 4 (2?) and 5? W as it possible to take that apart? (23) A. I think you w ould ruin it if you did.
(24) Q. So you would dump out the dust through the (25) nozzle that's Part 4?
Page 184
(1) A. Yes. (2 ) Q. Did you ever do that process yourself on an (3) older machine? (4i A. I d on 't believe so. (5) Q. And going back to that arbor plug, was the (6) function of the arbor plug to keep dust from getting n i into the bag, or

Book vs. Asbestos Dfts' (BHC) Craig Mountz
was it separate, to keep dust from <si getting into the grinding part of the unit? isi A. It w as to increase the efficiency o f the flow a) into the bag. m i Q. Do you have an understanding of
how it did (12) that? us) A. That w as a hollow tube, and rather than U4i letting the dust go into th a t tube and ju st swirl cisi around, th a t plug ju s t capped o ff the top so that the ns) dust didn't go down in the tube, it ju s t w ent directly im into the bag. as) Q, I'm trying to visualize how that sticks in us) there. It's Exhibit X. (2 0 ) A. Here's a better picture. (Indicating.) (2 1) Q. And you're referring to Page 174? (2 2 ). A- O fZ . This tube, which the sandpaper is (2 2 > attached to, is spinning, and the dust would com e down (24i inside, rather than being ejected dow n and out the (2 si exhaust over here. (Indicating.) So you put that plug
Page 185
m in the top to cap it o ff, so that it w ould go - rather 121 than com ing out th a t tube, it would go directly down 1 and out into the bag. (4) Q. So it had a dual function of keeping dust (5) from coming up and making the dust go down; is that (si accurate? n ) A. Right. Rather than letting it c o m e up, it <e> forced it down and o ut into the bag. :s> Q. And the arbor plug is 32 on this Page 174? in A. Correct. ( i i) Q. Do you know approximately, or did Ammco have (12) a time that it recommended brake shoes to be ground? (is) MR. RIEHLE: Vague and ambiguous, n o MS. SHINING: Q. Approximately how long, (is> based on your experience, would it take to arc a brake (20 shoe? d ) MR. HUTCHINSON: Object, it lacks foundation (xe> as to this witness. Within the operating instructions usi that have been produced, there are various indications < 2 0 regarding time, duration, quantity of operating the (2i) machine in a proper manner. The documents speak for (2 2 ) themselves. :23) MS. SHINING: Q. Would you be able to make (24) an estimate?
*2-i A. It really depended on the - on how good the
Page 186 iv shoe was.
(2 ) Q. Again, other than what's been produced today, <J) are there any other standards that Ammco maintained i4 ) that you know of with regard to the duration of arcing (5) a particular brake shoe?
>:i A. No.
( i ) Q, Did Ammco ever issue such
standards? (8i MR. RIEHLE: Vague and ambiguous as to (&) "standards." do) THE WITNESS: Every case was different, t in There is no lump standard. ( i2) MS. SHINING: Q. W as Ammco at anytime a 112) member o f the Friction Materials Standards Institute? (14) A. No. (is) Q. W as Ammco ever a member of the Asbestos (16) Textile Institute? (in A. No. u si Q. W as Ammco ever a member of the American usi Industrial Hygiene Association? (201 A. No. (2 D Q. Do you know if Hennessywas ever a member of (22) any of those institutions? (22) A. No. (24) MR. RIEHLE: Wait, wait. That's vague and (25) ambiguous, "Do you know if they w ere ever." The answer
Page 187
(1) is. they were not? (2 ) , THE W ITNESS: No, they were not. (2 ) MS. SHINING: Q. I understand that Hennessy 1 is currently a member of the National Safety Council, (5) Do you have any understanding as to how long they have (6) been a member of that organization? m A. No. (8) Q. Do you know who would be the representative isi to the National Safety Council from Hennessy? d o A. No. ( in Q. Is Ammco separately a member of the National (12> Safety Council? (12) A. Am m co doesn't exist. A m m co has no employees. (1 4 ) MR. RIEHLE: They are a subsidiary of usi Hennessy. us) MS. SHINING: Q. Well, we have been talking (i7> about it all day as a division. So it doesn't, as a usi division, have a separate membership in the National us) Safety Council? (2 0 ) A. No. (2D MS. SHINING; Let's take very quick, real (2 2 ) five-minute break, go over my questions. (2 2 ) MR. RIEHLE: W e're pretty much there? (24) MS. SHINING. Yes. (25) (Brief recess.)
Page 188
u> MS. SHINING: A couple more questions. (2 ) MR. RIEHLE: Representation on the record (2 ) duly noted. 4) MS. SHINING; Q. After the development and tsi implementation of the arbor plug, again, there was no w testing of results vis-a-vis the use of the arbor plug d) and the flow of dust into the 8925 system; is that (8) correct?

W a s Part No. 16 ever modified, made smaller (iso or larger, throughoutthe manufacture of the Ammco shoe 201 grinders? (2 D A. N o t th a t I know of. (2 2 ) Q. On Page 86, which is part of Exhibit O, which 122:* is, again, the 1978 study, Page 2 contains several (24) general conclusions, and the fourth paragraph states (25) that it is extremely important that Ammco provide
