MEMORANDUM TO: FROM: RE: DATE: Ralph Bradleeyy//7l (Via Federal Express) Paul Merrei: Nevada Power Company v. Monsanto Company* et al_ July 16, 1993 The attached Exhibit 2925 was just produced by General Electric. * It is a Monsanto brochure on Askarel transformers. Please note that on Page GENP 014819 in the italiciz ied portion on the right hand side of the page, Monsanto is advertising that it is the sole supplier of Askarel fluids for all transformer manufacturers. Please also note that Page GENP 014823 where Monsanto advertises that Askarel fluids have been "manufactured, handled, and used safely for 37 years." I hope you will have an opportunity to use these documents. PEM:dd eEvgn\ccof.U>itdky.m02 whSaGneAhErdeVeTn'sEsMhpMoeOwcORiftyEoNinEPgYEtrRaFnOsfoRrMmAerNs CE Monsanto 803536 GEN?

Under strong conditions of arcing, HCL gas can be evolved. Where appropriate or neces sary, standard techniques or devices for venting are available from transformer makers. The most significant and reliable measurement of transformer askarel electrical performance is its dielectric strength. Askarel will maintain its high dielectric strength unless there is a significant amount of moisture contamination or breakdown of the fluid from an unusually severe electrical discharge. Askarel fluids are manufactured by Monsanto and shipped to transformer makers all over the world. f They are manufactured and quality checked for consistency and properly packaged for shipment. 6 803543 GENP 014824 ifrl. .Gk PHOSGENE OR CHLORINE GASES!! Operating with askarel fire-resistant transformers is the safest, easiest and often the least expensive way to distribute electrical power. Your trans former supplier can give you the complete story on his askarel transformers. Be sure to check with him soon . . . specifying askarel transformers is your best bet when your plans call for transformer equipment in . . . Industrial Unit Substations, Load Centers, Power Centers . . . in factory areas where maximum safety from fire is required and where atmospheric contamination may exist. Utility Networks . . . where safety and space is a consideration. Institutions and Office Buildings .. . schools, hos pitals, hotels, shopping centers, apartments, etc. where maximum safety, low noise levels and space j is a prime factor. | In any electrical system . . . where you are charged with the responsibility of giving your client the best installation available at the lowest overall installation and operational cost. 803544 GENP 014825 SPECIFY ASKAREL FOR YOUR NEXT JOB fagocMonoferoudtm"pnTyoesMaronhnaueFbtironelCultwoceiadownirl"pea.lynboacenrefhod"arGMpGuypoiroydonueots,.oma"nsiotnuArogpspksAoilmysfykyopAaoulryseurklwasrrIueienttplshupprTlaenierccartoitnohptsoney Monsanto Company Functional Fluids Dept. 323 800 North Lindbergh Blvd. St. Louis, Missouri 63166 Please send the literature checked The Care & Grooming of Askarel Transformer Fluid Monsanto Askarel Inspection & Maintenance Guide Nams/TItle Company Address City/StatB/Zip 803545 GENP 014826 I 803546 GENP 014827 Monsanto Company 800 North Lindbergh BIvd.
