CERTIFICATE OF SERVICE
This is to certify that a true and correct copy of foregoing has been served on counsel of record this
________, 1994.
above and day of
GENERAL OBJECTIONS
Garlock makes the following general objections to plaintiffs' interrogatories and incorporates each of these objections by reference to every answer provided hereafter.
1. The interrogatories request information going back many years and Garlock has found it difficult, if not impossible, to reconstruct or retrieve much of the information requested. The answers given are based .on the present facts known or believed by Garlock at the time of its answer.
2. The interrogatories are overly broad, burdensome, and in places, vague and ambiguous. In addition, the interrogatories are not sufficiently limited in time and use terms which do not refer to products manufactured by Garlock..
3. Garlock does not now manufacture or sell, and has never manufactured or sold, asbestos-containing insulation products as that term is commonly used and understood in this litigation. Therefore, Garlock objects to any interrogatoryreferring to or assuming that such products are or have been manufactured by Garlock. Garlock presumes that questions referring to insulation products are thus not applicable to Garlock.
4. Garlock" does not now manufacture or sell, and' has never manufactured or sold, asbestos-containing building products as that term is commonly used and understood in this litigation. Therefore, Garlock objects to any interrogatory referring to or assuming that such products are or have been manufactured by Garlock. Garlock presumes that questions referring to building products are thus not applicable to Garlock.
5. The interrogatories themselves are overly broad in that they tend to group together all of the defendants. There has never been any competent scientific or medical evidence or reason to believe that Garlock products, upon reasonable use, release asbestos fibers in sufficient quantities, if any, to pose a health hazard, potential or otherwise, to persons using said products. Garlock denies that the use of, or exposure to, its asbestos-containing products poses any health hazard. Furthermore, the plaintiff's alleged problems are not related to Garlock products.

INTERROGATORIES
INTERROGATORY NO. 1 : State the name, address, job title, length of time employed by
Defendant, and a year-by-year list of all other positions, titles, or jobs held when working for Defendant of each person who has supplied any information used in answering these interrogatories. ANSWSB:
Garlock objects to this interrogatory on the grounds that it is unduly burdensome, unnecessary and harassing. Subject to and without waiving the foregoing objections, Garlock states that the information used to answer these interrogatories was gathered from answers to interrogatories previously filed in this and other jurisdictions over the last several years and involved obtaining and confirming information " from many present -and former employees. The names of the individuals who provided information include: Clayton M. Jewett, formerly Manager of Marketing - Gasket Products, Garlock Inc, Reno, Nevada, Roy L. Whittaker, Director, Engineering, Industrial Packing, Garlock Inc, 1666 Division Street, Palmyra, New York 14522 and Richard W. Watson, former Paralegal and Patent Agent, c/o 1666 Division Street, Palmyra, New York 14522.
INTRRQgAT9RY-NP. 2:
.
State whether or not you are a corporation. If so, state your
correct corporate name, the state of your incorporation, the
address of your principal place of business, the name and address
4
of the person or entity authorized to accept service of process on your behalf, and whether or not you have ever held a Certificate of Authority to do business in the State of Texas.
Defendant's legal name is Garlock Inc (no punctuation). Garlock.Inc is an Ohio corporation with offices located at 4 30 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10022 and a principal manufacturing facility and sales office at 1666 Division Street, Palmyra, New York 14522. CT Corporation System is the entity authorized to accept service of process on behalf of Garlock. Garlock does hold a Certificate of Authority to do business in the State of Texas.
INTERROGATORY NO. 3: Has Defendant or any of its predecessor or ' subsidiary
companies at any time engaged in the mining and subsequent sale of material containing asbestos fibers? If so, identify the location of the mine(s) , the years of its operation, the type of asbestos mined and whether you sold any asbestos to any Defendants in the Dallas County asbestos litigation. ANSWER:
No.
INTERROGATORY NO. 4: Identify by name each product containing asbestos fibers that
Defendant or any of its predecessor or subsidiary companies at any time manufactured or sold.
5
ANSWER:
Garlock objects to this interrogatory for the reasons set
forth in General Objections Nos. 1 and 2, which are
incorporated as if they were fully set out herein, and.for the
further reason that the only Garlock products at issue in this
case are those to which plaintiffs allege to have been
exposed. To require Garlock to identify the hundreds of
different products it has produced over the years constitutes
a request for masses of irrelevant information, is unduly
burdensome and beyond the scope of permissible discovery.
Notwithstanding and without waiving the foregoing objections, since at least as early as 1907, Garlock has produced and sold
encapsulated asbestos-containing gaskets and packing products
which do not emit asbestos fibers into the air when in
operation. Garlock has not been a manufacturer or seller of
asbestos thermal insulation, such as pipe covering, block or cement. The great majority of products which Garlock has
manufactured are gaskets and ' compressed asbestos sheet,
packing and other gasket materials. Garlock compressed
asbestos sheet is a mixture of asbestos fiber, curing agents,
reinforcing fillers and elastomers (natural rubber or
synthetic polymers having the elastic qualities of rubber).
Other gasket material was made from woven asbestos impregnated
and encased in a rubberized coating. Other gaskets have had
asbestos encased by layers of metal or encapsulated within a
P.T.F.E.
(polytetrafluoroethylene)
resin
envelope.
Manufacture and sale of such other gasket products has been
6
discontinued, mostly during the decade of the 1980's. Garlock once manufactured and sold, but has now discontinued, asbestos packing encapsulated in either elastomeric compound or metal foils and/or impregnated with .lubricants. Garlock believes its last such packing sale was in approximately 1982.

If the a-nswer to one or more of the last three interrogatories is in the affirmative or lists any products, state as to each named product the following:
A. As to each product, state whether such product was mined, manufactured, marketed, and/or sold.
B. The names of the companies mining, manufacturing, marketing, and/or selling each product mined, manufactured, marketed, and/or sold.
C. The trade or brand name of each of those products mined, manufactured, marketed and/or sold.
D. The date each of the named products was placed on the market.
7
E. A description of the physical (chemical) composition of
each of the named products, including the type of
asbestos contained in the product and the percentage of
asbestos put in each product.
.
F. The date each of the products was removed from the market
and no longer sold or distributed and the reason or
reasons therefor.
G. The date asbestos was removed from such products, if
ever, and the reasons therefor.
H. A description of the physical appearance of each of the
named products.
I. A detailed description of the intended uses of the named
products.
J. Identify the last year that you sold each asbestos-
cofttaining product.
ANSWER;
Garlock objects to this interrogatory for the reasons set
forth in General Objections -Nos. 1 and 2, which are
incorporated as if they were fully set out herein, and for the
further reason that the only Gar lock products at issue in this
case are those to which plaintiffs allege to have been
exposed. To require Garlock to identify the hundreds of
different products it has produced over the years constitutes
a request for masses of irrelevant information, is unduly
burdensome and beyond the scope of permissible discovery.
Garlock further objects to this interrogatory to the extent it
calls for production of proprietary information. Garlock will
8
produce this information if a proper protective order is entered by this Court. Notwithstanding and without waiving the foregoing objections, Garlock states that it has and does make a wide variety of products., many of which have contained asbestos and many of which have contained no asbestos. Among the specific products which Garlock has and does manufacture are asbestos gasket and asbestos sheet (from which the purchaser cuts gaskets). Garlock asbestos sheet is a mixture of asbestos fibers, curing agents, reinforcing fillers and elastomers (natural rubber or synthetic polymers having the elastic qualities of rubber). Asbestos fibers are machine blended with the rest of the mixture until they are thoroughly coated. The entire compound is then heated and rolled into sheets and is continually compressed to form a tough, impermeable, homogeneous material that looks like linoleum. Other gasket materials were made from woven, long fiber, asbestos yarn impregnated and encased in a rubberized coating. Other gaskets have had asbestos encased by layers of metal or encapsulated with a P.T.F.E. (polytetrafluoroethylene) resin envelope. Garlock asbestos packing materials consisted of woven asbestos encapsulated in either elastomeric compounds or metal foils and/or impregnated with lubricants. Garlock gasket materials are primarily used for static sealing of steam line flanges, cylinder heads of engines, compressors and refrigeration equipment, fluid conduits, etc. Garlock packing materials are primarily used for dynamic sealing of machinery.
9
Finished compressed asbestos sheet is either cut into gaskets
by Garlock or sold for use by others in cutting gaskets.
Garlock's flexible and durable gasketing material is handled,
installed and removed in all intended applications without
releasing meaningful quantities, if any, of asbestos fibers
into the air.
Garlock's compressed asbestos sheets and
gaskets are treated with an anti-stick releasing agent which
reduces any tendency of the gaskets to adhere to pipe flanges
during removal and replacement.
This anti-stick agent
facilitates the removal of old gaskets without generating
dust. Other Garlock products come in specific sizes for
application and do not generally require modification before
or during application or use.
Garlock states that from 95%
to 98% of its asbestos-containing products have been made only
with chrysotile asbestos fibers and that the remaining 2% to
5% of such products were made with crocidolite asbestos fiber.
Depending upon the type of product involved, the percentage of
asbestos contained in these products has ranged from about 10%
to about 85%.
This Defendant has never mined, supplied, distributed,
marketed and/or sold raw asbestos fibers to others.
IKTERR9gAT9RY..yQt 7: Do any documents, including but not limited to written
memoranda, specifications, recommendations, blueprints, or other written materials of any kind or character, relating to the design,
10
preparation, or introduction into the market of the products listed
in Interrogatory No. 6 still exist? if so, state:
A. A description of each such document.
B. The name, address, and job title of each person who
currently has possession of each document, and where the
documents are currently located.
ANSWER:
Garlock objects to this interrogatory on the grounds that it
is overly broad, unduly burdensome, oppressive and not
reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible
evidence and for the further reason that the only products at
issue in this case are those to which plaintiff alleges to
have been exposed. Notwithstanding and without waiving the
foregoing objections, Garlock states that the design and/or
development of new products and the improvement of existing
Garlock products has been the responsibility of the technical
staff involved in each particular project. All relevant,
discoverable documents are available for inspection and
copying at Garlock's offices: 1666 Division Street, Palmyra,
New York 14522.
INTERROGATORY NO. 8: Before distributing, selling, or placing the products listed
in your response to Interrogatory Nos. 3-6 into the streams of commerce, were any tests conducted to determine potential health hazards involved in the use of, or exposure to, the materials such
11
as asbestos, contained in those products? affirmative, state:

A. The names of the products tested and the date of each
test.
_
.
B. The name, address, and job title of each person
conducting the tests or involved with conducting the
tests.
C. The results of the tests.
MSWEB: Garlock objects to this interrogatory on the grounds that it
is overly broad, unduly burdensome and for the further reason
that it presupposes that the asbestos-containing products of
Garlock emit dust at levels harmful to the human body.
Notwithstanding and without waiving the foregoing objections,
Garlock "states that it is unaware of any investigations, tests, examinations or experiments concerning the asbestos-
containing products of Garlock and any effect thereof on the
human body.

IMTERROgATfiBY FOt ?:
Do any documents, including but not limited to written
memoranda, specifications, recommendations, blueprints, or other
written materials of any kind or character, relating to the testing
of the products referred to in Interrogatory No. 6 now exist? If
so, state:
A. A description of each such document.
12
B. The name, address, and job title of each person who
currently has possession of each document, and where it is presently located.
ANSWER;
_
Garlock objects to the extent this Interrogatory seeks
information which is neither relevant nor likely to lead to the
discovery of relevant evidence. The only products relevant are the ones the Plaintiffs are claiming exposure to. Garlock also objects
to the interrogatory as overly broad and vague. Subject to and
without waiving any of the foregoing objections, see Answers to Interrogatories Nos. 8 and 56.

conducted those tests.
C. The results of those tests.
D. Whether, as a result of the tests, any products were
removed from the market.
E. The names of all products removed from the market as a
result of these tests.
ANSWER:
*
Garlock objects to this interrogatory on the grounds that it
is overly broad, unduly burdensome and for the further reason
that it presupposes that the asbestos-containing products of
Gar lock emit dust at levels harmful to the human body.
Notwithstanding and without waiving the foregoing objections,
Garlock states that it is unaware of any investigations,
tests, examinations or experiments concerning the asbestos-
containing products of Garlock and any effect thereof on the
human body.

G. The current location of any such printed material and the custodian thereof.
H. The form in which such literature or printed material can be accessed, i,e., the manner in which such literature is indexed or stored.
5: . Garlock^ objects to this interrogatory on the grounds that it is overly broad, unduly burdensome and assumes the truth of matters in dispute in this litigation, specifically that there are dangers associated with - the use of Garlock products. Notwithstanding and without waiving the foregoing objections, Garlock states that there has never been any competent scientific or medical evidence or reason to believe that its asbestos-containing products, upon reasonable use, release asbestos fibers in sufficient quantities, if any, to pose a health hazard, potential or otherwise, to persons using 6uch products. Garlock denies that use of, or exposure to, its asbestos-containing products poses any health hazard, or any significant possibility of inhalation of asbestos fibers. The
17
asbestos fibers in Garlock products are encapsulated or
otherwise retained, and, therefore, fall within the exception
provided in the OSHA regulations requiring warnings on
asbestos products and materials.. Nevertheless, Garlock places
the warning set forth in section 1910.1001, paragraph 2(ii) of
the OSHA regulations on its asbestos-containing products. The
name of the person who formulated this warning is not known.
The warning reads: "CAUTION: Contains Asbestos fibers. Avoid
creating dust. Breathing Asbestos dust may cause serious
bodily harm." This warning has been present on all Garlock
asbestos-containing products and/or the product packaging
since late 1977. A similar warning notice has been contained
in product literature published since 1977 that describes one
or more asbestos-containing products.
See attached Exhibit "A". All relevant discoverable printed material is available for inspection and copying at Plaintiffs
expense at Garlock's offices: 1666 Division street. Palmyra,
New York 14522.
`
INTERROGATORY NO. 15: Before 1970, had you received notice that any individual or
individuals, other than those Plaintiffs who have filed personal injury actions in Dallas County, Texas, is or are claiming or has or have claimed an injury as a result of using asbestos products manufactured and/or sold by your company or any of its predecessors or subsidiaries before 1970? If so, state:
A. The name and address of each claimant.
18
B. The date of notice of each claim.
C. A description of the claim.
D. The type of injuries allegedly sustained.
E. The name and address of each attorney who represents each
individual making a claim.
F. The style and court number of each claim.
G. The disposition of each claim that has been settled or
taken to judgment.
.
ANSWER:
Garlock objects to this interrogatory on the grounds that it is overly broad, unduly burdensome and that the information
sought is irrelevant in this case and is not reasonably
calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence.
Without waiving the foregoing objections. Garlock states that
it had "no such personal injury claims alleging asbestos-
related disease or injury based on product handling or use
before 1970.
INTERROGATORY NO. 16: Were your asbestos products distributed, marketed, packaged,
labeled and/or sold by companies other than your own? If the answer is affirmative, list the names and addresses of each of those companies, and the products in question. ANSWER:
Garlock objects to this interrogatory on the grounds that it is overly broad, unduly burdensome, does not call for relevant evidence and is not calculated to lead to the discovery of
19
admissible evidence and the further reason that the only garlock products at issue in this case are those to which plaintiff alleges to have been exposed. Notwithstanding and without waiving the foregoing objections, Garlock states that most of its product sales were on a direct basis until the mid-1960's. At that time, the decision was made to utilize distributors for sales to maintenance and repair customers and after a conversion period of several years, the majority of Garlock product sales were made through distributors. Garlock has continued to sell directly to original equipment manufacturers who use Garlock products in making their products. A listing of Garlock distributors in Texas is attached as Exhibit "B". Garlock'does not have records of its direct sales prior to the utilization of distributors nor of sales by its distributors to specific customers.
INTERROGATORY NO. 17: Did you or any of your predecessors, successors, or
subsidiaries have any distributors or sales representatives of asbestos products in the States of Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, Oregon, Washington, Georgia, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia? If so, state:
A. The name and address of each such distributor or sales representatives.
20
B. The years in which such company or person distributed,
marketed, or sold your products.
C. What products were distributed, marketed, or sold and in . what years.
ANSWER:
Garlock objects to this interrogatory on the grounds that it
is overly broad, unduly burdensome, does not call for relevant
evidence and is not calculated to lead to the discovery of
admissible evidence and the further reason that the only
Garlock products at issue in this case are those to which
plaintiff alleges to have been exposed. Garlock further
objects to this request, with respect to its reference to the
States of Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, Oregon, Washington,
Georgia, Tennessee and Virginia, on the grounds that it is
overly "broad, unduly burdensome, irrelevant to any issue in
this case and not reasonably calculated to lead to the
discovery of admissible evidence.
With respect to its
reference to Texas, Garlock also objects on the grounds that
it is overly broad, unduly burdensome, irrelevant to any issue
in this case and not reasonably calculated to lead to the
discovery of admissible evidence. Notwithstanding and without
waiving the foregoing objections, Garlock states that it did
have sales representatives responsible for different portions
of Texas (see Exhibit "BM, and answer to Interrogatory No.
16) . Upon receipt of specific information from the plaintiffs
as to the time periods and specific locations at issue.
21
Garlock will attempt to review available records in order to provide a more specific response. Discovery is continuing.

publisher (if any).
'.
C. The date received by Defendant, if known.

ANSWER:
Garlock objects to this request on the grounds that it is
overly broad, unduly burdensome and seeks information which is
irrelevant in this case and not reasonably calculated to lead
to discovery of admissible evidence, subject to and without
23
waiving the foregoing objections, Garlock states that it may
have obtained documents responsive to this request throughout
the course of asbestos litigation but these documents are
irrelevant since they do not relate to this Defendant's
knowledge.

ANSWER:
Garlock objects to this interrogatory on the grounds that it
is overly broad. Notwithstanding and without waiving the
foregoing objection, Garlock states that it has been a member
of five organizations which may have dealt with asbestos-
containing products:
1. The Fluid Sealing Association (formerly Mechanical Packing Association) (member from 1933 to present).
2. Asbestos Textile Institute, Inc. (member from approximately 1966 to 1979 - Garlock acknowledges that a review of ATI minutes discloses an earlier membership period during the 1940's, but Garlock has no independent record or information as to such period.)
3. Asbestos Information Association of North America (member from approximately 1974 to 1980).
4. American Society for Testing and Materials (member from 1945 to present).
5. National Safety Council (member from 1922 to present).
Subject to and without waiving the foregoing objections,
Garlock states that it may have obtained documents responsive
to this request throughout the course of asbestos litigation
but these documents are irrelevant since they do not relate to
this Defendant's knowledge.

ANSWER:
Garlock objects to this interrogatory on the grounds that it
is overly broad, unduly burdensome, not properly limited as to
time and for the further reason that the only Garlock products
at issue in this case are those to which plaintiff alleges to
have been exposed. Notwithstanding and without waiving the
foregoing objections, Garlock states that it has continually
provided its customers with instructions as to the proper
handling, installation and use of its products.
Such
instructions have been in various forms, including instruction
sheets, advertising literature and user seminars.

ANSWER Garlock objects to this interrogatory on the grounds that it
calls for an expert medical opinion which Garlock is not
qualified to give. Garlock objects to making a general review of literature having no relevance to Garlock asbestos-
containing products on the grounds that to do so would put
defendant in the position of doing the plaintiffs' work.
Subject to and without waiving the foregoing objections, some
Garlock personnel have been aware for a number of years that

Does Defendant contend that asbestos products can be
manufactured or designed so as to eliminate all potential health
hazards to persons working with or exposed to them? If the answer
is affirmative, explain in detail, and attach any studies or
surveys on which this answer is based.
ANSWER: Garlock objects to this interrogatory on the grounds that it calls for an expert medical opinion which Garlock is not qualified to give. Garlock objects to making a general review of literature having no relevance to Garlock ' asbestoscontaining products on the grounds that to do so would put defendant in the position of doing the plaintiffs' work. Subject to and without waiving the foregoing objections, Garlock states that there has never been any competent scientific or medical evidence or reason to believe that its asbestos-containing products, upon reasonable use, release asbestos fibers in sufficient quantities, if any, to pose a health hazard, potential or otherwise, to persons using such products. Garlock denies that use of, or exposure to, its asbestos-containing products pose any health hazard or any significant possibility of inhalation of asbestos fiber. This defendant does not know of or have in its possession any
36
books, pamphlets, memoranda or other written materials of any kind or character which present any evidence or which would otherwise indicate that Garlock asbestos-containing products, upon reasonable use, release asbestos fibers in sufficient quantities, if any, to pose a health hazard, potential or otherwise, to persons using such products. Garlock has no knowledge about any products other than gaskets and packing and cannot answer with respect to products manufactured or sold by other companies.
INTERROGATORY NO. 31:
Describe in detail the types of packages or packaging which
Defendant or any of its subsidiary or predecessor companies used
for asbestos material or products, listing the dates each type of
package was used, a physical description of each type of package,
and providing a description of any printed material or trademarks that appeared thereon.
ANSWER:
-
Garlock objects to this interrogatory on the grounds that it
is overly broad and burdensome. Notwithstanding and without
waiving the foregoing objections, Garlock states that it does
not have records which would indicate when it started and/or
stopped using any particular type or style of packaging. For
probably at least 50 years, the dominant colors of our
packaging materials have been yellow, red and black.
Sometimes black has predominated, and at other times, yellow
37
has been the dominant color. However, the three colors have usually been used together. The form in which Garlock asbestos-containing products are shipped varies, depending upon_the size and configuration of each item, the number of items called for by the customer's order and the customer's own desires. Among the containers used are burlap bags, cardboard boxes and wooden crates. In addition, asbestos sheet is occasionally shipped flat on wooden pallets. All of its products, both those containing asbestos and those containing no asbestos, have always been sold under the GARLOCK name. In addition, the Calipers and Scale trademark was used with all of its products from about 1900 until approximately 1968. A number of secondary trademarks have also been used over the years. Principal marks "which have been used in connection with asbestos-containing products, as well as non-asbestos-containing products, have been BELMONT, GUARDIAN, CHEVRON, LATTICE BRAID', PALMYRA and PAPERPAK.
INTERROGATORY NO. 32: Has Defendant or any of its subsidiary or predecessor companies at any time entered into a "rebranding" agreement with any other company, either as buyer or seller, concerning asbestos materials or asbestos products?

38
B. The trade name affixed to those products.
C. The periods of time covered by each such agreement.
D. The volume, in dollar amount, of each transaction.
E. The initial purchaser of the products.
ANSWER:
.
Garlock objects to this interrogatory on the grounds that it
is overly broad, unduly burdensome, not properly limited as to
time and for the further reason that the only products at
issue in this case are those to which plaintiff alleges to
have been exposed. Notwithstanding and without waiving the
foregoing objections. Garlock states that it has, from time to time, sold some of its products for resale under other labels.
Some of these products contained asbestos, others contained no asbestos. Garlock has no record, knowledge or recollection of
any written distribution or sales agreement concerning such
products. There is no reason to believe that such products
are germane to this litigation.
INTERROGATORY NO. 33: List the name and address of each company from which Defendant or its subsidiary or predecessor purchased materials or asbestos products which Defendant sold or distributed in any form, stating the form of the materials, the dates of such purchases, and the ultimate disposal of such materials.

Garlock objects to this interrogatory on the grounds that it
is overly broad, unduly burdensome, not properly limited to a
relevant time period and for the further reason that the only
products at issue in this case are those to which plaintiff

waiving the foregoing objections, Garlock states that it has,
from time to time, purchased products from others for resale
under the Garlock label. Some of these products contained

C. A brief .summary of the disposition of each such claim.
D. The name, address and title of the person having custody
ANSWER:
of the records pertaining to each such claim.
Garlock objects to this interrogatory insofar as it pertains
to Workers' Compensation claims on the grounds that it is
overly broad, unduly burdensome and that the information
sought is irrelevant in this case and is not reasonably
calculated to lead to discovery of admissible evidence. The
plaintiff has never been a Garlock employee and does not
allege ever visiting any Garlock facility.* The only relevant
issues in this action pertain to finished asbestos-containing
. products after they have left Garlock facilities.

and its packaging.
G. A detailed description of the intended uses of each of
the named products.
H. Whether there are any warning labels on said products or
containers regarding potential asbestos-related health
hazards.
Garlock objects to this interrogatory on the grounds that it is overly broad and unduly burdensome and for the further reason that the only products at issue in this case are those to which plaintiff alleges to have been exposed during the time periods at issue. Notwithstanding and without waiving the foregoing objections, Garlock still produces some products containing asbestos.

INTERROGATORY NO. 38: State whether you or any of your predecessors and/or
subsidiaries maintain, from 1940 through the present or for any portion thereof, copies of invoices, shipping documents, bills of lading, purchase orders, or other documents of a similar nature relating to the mining, manufacture, marketing, sale or distribution of asbestos products. If so, state:

copy, microfilm, microfiche, etc. D. In what form the documents can be accessed, i,e. . by
state, by product, etc., and if by product, whether kept according to asbestos or non-asbestos. ANSWER: This Defendant objects to this interrogatory on the grounds that it is overly broad, unduly burdensome, irrelevant to any issue in this case, not reasonably calculated to lead to discovery of admissible evidence and for the further reason that the only products at issue in this case are those to which the plaintiffs allege to have been exposed. Subject to and without waiving the foregoing objections. Garlock states that it does not maintain separate compilations of sales records for its asbestos-containing products or for sales in specific states or sub-divisions thereof. Such older records as still exist are retained in Palmyra in 40** x 40** x 40" cardboard boxes, each containing several cartons of records.
44
These records will be made available to plaintiff for
inspection and copying at plaintiff's expensed'and" upon
appropriate prior arrangements. It is believed that the
oldest such paper records generally date from approximately
1978.
.
Upon receipt of specific information from the Plaintiffs as to
the products to which they allege to have been exposed, the
dates of the alleged exposure and the locations at issue, this
Defendant will attempt to identify whether or not it sold such
asbestos-containing products to the locations specified, at
the time periods in question.
INTERROGATORY NO. 39: Will you call company representatives as witnesses at the
trial of any of these cases? If so, list: A. The name, address, and job title of each company representative who may be called. B.

List any and all previous times that the named witnesses . have either given deposition or trial testimony in an asbestos-related case, including the jurisdiction, style of the case, case number, date of testimony, and the name of the attorney taking the deposition for the Plaintiffs in that case.
45
ANSWER:
Defendant objects to this interrogatory as beyond the scope of
discovery. Defendant has not yet determined exactly which
witnesses it will call.
Defendant will provide this
information to Plaintiffs pursuant to the Texas Rules of Civil
Procedure or court order. Subject to and without waiving the
foregoing objections:
Any present or former employee of Garlock. Garlock
specifically identifies Mr. Clayton Jewett and Mr. Roy Whittaker as former and current employees who may testify
on behalf of Garlock. Mr. Jewett and/or Mr. Whittaker
will provide testimony on the process involved in the
manufacture of various asbestos containing and non
asbestos containing Garlock gaskets and packing material.
Mrf Jewett and/or Mr. Whittaker may also describe the
various products manufactured by Garlock and the proper
application and use of said products. Garlock reserves
the right to call any current or past Garlock employees
in response to the evidence presented in plaintiff's
case-in-chief.
Garlock has not yet completed its determination of
witnesses and reserves the right to supplement and amend
this list up to and including the time of trial.
INTERROGATORY NO. 40: Have Defendant or its subsidiaries or predecessors ever
acquired through purchase, reorganization, or merger another
46
corporation, company, or business which manufactured, sold,
processed, distributed, or contracted or supplied products
containing asbestos? If so, for each such entity, state:
A. Full and correct name;
.
B. Principal place of business;
.
C. State of incorporation;
D. Date of acquisition by Defendant;
E. Whether or not the business entity was ever authorized to
transact business in the State of Texas;
ANSWER:
In past years, Garlock acquired four subsidiary companies
which made and/or sold at least some asbestos-containing
products. Those companies were the Belmont Packing & Rubber
Company, Crandall Packing Company, Dealers' steam Packing
Company and U.S. Gasket Company. The only asbestos-containing
products of which Garlock is aware that were made and/or sold
by these companies were sealing products substantially
equivalent to similar such products made and sold by Garlock.
The Belmont Packing & Rubber Company was located in
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Crandall Packing Company and
Dealers' Steam Packing Company were located in Palmyra, New
York and U.S. Gasket Company was located in Camden, New
Jersey. Ultimately, each of the four subsidiaries was merged
or otherwise absorbed into Garlock, including all assets and
. liabilities. As far as Garlock is aware, all business records
of these former subsidiaries were destroyed many years ago in
accordance with Garlock's long-standing record retention and
47
destruction program. It is probable that old corporate minute
books still exist, but Garlock would not expect them to
contain any information pertinent to this litigation. In
June, 1987, Garlock Inc acquired The Anchor Packing Company of
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania which has sold asbestos-containing
gaskets, gasket materials and packing.
Garlock has no information regarding the state in which these
entities were incorporated.
Garlock has no information
regarding whether these entities were ever authorized to do
business in Texas.
INTERROGATORY NO. 41: Was each of your asbestos products generally expected to
reach, or packaged to reach, the consumer or user, without substantial change in the condition in which it was sold? If not, with respect to any such product, explain in what way the Defendant claims its products were altered or substantially changed after sale or distribution and before reaching the user. ANSWER;
This Defendant objects to this interrogatory on the grounds that it is overly broad, unduly burdensome, and for the further reason that the only products at issue in this case are those to which the plaintiffs allege to have been exposed. Subject to and without waiving the foregoing objections, Garlock states that it does sell gasket sheets and other packing materials that may be cut to proper size by the user or pre-cut by Garlock or by others.

This Defendant objects to this interrogatory on the grounds that it is overly broad, unduly burdensome, irrelevant to any issue in this case, not reasonably calculated to lead to discovery of admissible evidence and for the further reason that the only products at issue in this case are those to which the plaintiffs allege to have been exposed. Subject to and without waiving the foregoing objections, this Defendant states that gasket materials were primarily used for static sealing of steam line flanges, cylinder heads of engines, compressors, refrigeration equipment, etc. Packing materials were primarily used for dynamic sealing of machinery.

This Defendant objects to this interrogatory on the grounds
that it is overly broad, unduly burdensome, irrelevant to any
issue in this case, not reasonably calculated to lead to
discovery of admissible evidence and for the further reason
that the only products at issue in this case are those to

Garlock objects to this interrogatory on the grounds that it
is overly broad, unduly burdensome and for the further reason
that it presupposes that the asbestos-containing products of
