FOSECQ, H\iG. INTER-COMPANY ANO INTER-DEPARTMENTAL correspondence to: Geoff Fencon 'o: Brian McConnell m 0ATE: Occober 12, 1973 "eCT: USS-Fairless 699 Ring .Fairless keeps throwing barbs at me chat Ferro is supplying a' completely asbestos free ring. All of their operating personnel . appear to be aware of the fact that our ring is not asbestos free and hint that we could loose some business for it. At the moment, I believe this to be friendly sparring, however, as I 1 indicated some time ago, it could become serious and cost us ;* business. Please advise me what our time table is to develop an asbestos free ring for Fairless. Thank you. BBM/kgb 423 cc: HDS WCF NDW Brian McConnell (xjy a 2726
