B. M. Luts February 11, 1986 2 3. Domestic Disc Pads -- Poreign Drum Lining AsbeBtoB-free friction materials are available from Winchester to satisfy both product lines. Other aspects of this conversion require further clarification at this office. Specifically, I would like to know_which applicar tlons Abex cannot accoraraodate_with its asbestoi^free domestic drum lining. As's'uming~'that "we will not provide complete asbestos-free coverage in this product line and that there are no acceptable substitutes, a proposal to Midas that we continue to supply particular part numbers in organic material will have to be made. Other considerations in the conversion to asbestos-free focus oh the capabilities and requirements of Rayloc. As an extension of our manufacturing, whatever Abex plans to do must be coordinated through them. Discussions with Rayloc will be initiated from this office to determine their needs with respect to this change over. Should you have any questions concerning this memorandum, please contact me by Wednesday, February 12. As more information becomes available on the subject of this conversion, you will be promptly advised. WRBsjc cc: R. Bagley J. McCool J. Shupe SCI 03023
