Shiffler UCC - Chemicals Rm. 343 Saw Mill River Road, Rte. 100C Tarrytown, NY 10591 Messrs. File R. E. Byrne, Jr. G. L. Dickson E. J. Kleber R. L. Schult R. L. Strano / W. C. Thurber1'' Dat* originating ospt. August 25, 1976 "Calidria" Asbestos Enclosed is information from our files on the hazards of asbestos from brake linings. Most of this applies to brake operation, not relining. I have contacted the AIA and they will send you several reports which are referenced in the literature. Most of the reports are by "environmentalists" and are biased against asbestos. Asbestos is a potential hazard to brake re-liners but the job can be done safely and in compliance with government regulations. We would be glad to work with Delco-Morain on the problem. Hank Strano handles General Motors for the Metals Division (except asbestos) and has been instrumental in having them evaluate our products in several applications, including brake linings. At your discretion and convenience, we would be glad to meet with DelcoMorain people in Dayton to help provide a solution to their problem. JLMrdal Enclosures UCC 008591
