Bettes, Jr. As edited by the Staff of ASBESTOS Chapter XXVI: Hlc/Rlighfs in the History of the Asbestos Textile Institute PART I In the writer's opinion, the founding of the Asbestos Textile Institute is the single most important event in the History of the Asbestos Textile Industry in the United States. It, therefore, seems fitting that the story of the found ing of the industry's own trade association conclude this his tory of the asbestos textile industry. In 1944 L. R. Hoff was President of Johns-Manville Sales Corporation. It was Roy Hoff who perceived the need for an industry trade association and it was he who sold the various company Presidents on the advantages to be gained in the establishment of the Asbestos Textile Institute. There is no question but what Roy Hoff was the father of ATI. An organizational meeting was held at the University Club in New York City on November 16, 1944. Eleven as bestos textile manufacturers were represented, as follows: Asbestos Textile Co.--Thomas E. Oatfce; .1. Franklin Burke f: Co.--J. Franklin Burke; Carolina Asbestos Co.--C. H. Carlough; Oarlock Packing Co.--George Abliott; Jobns-Mamillc Corjtoration--L. R. Hoff, F. J. Wakcm and A. L. Fisk, Jr. (Attorney); Kcasbey fc Mattison Co.--F Mueblcck and Wm. C. Scott; Philadelphia Asbestos Co.--E. K, Tuclmcr, Jr., and A. J. Scaulan; Rax bcstos-Manhattan, Inc.--J. F. D. Kohrbach and G. \V. Marsh all, Jr.; Southern Asbestos Co.--F. E. Schlutcr and G. S. Fabel; Union Asbestos f; Kithhcr Co--L. L. Cohen and R. Wilde; United States Rubber Co.--It. G. Smith and H. E. Sunbury. A constitution and by-laws were adopted at the ATI organiza tional meeting. Tiie stated purposes of the Asbestos Textile Institute, as enumerated in its constitution, are as follows; I.To promote ethical business standards in the Industry end fair trade practices in dealings between manufacturers end the trade end In representations to the public.

The members of the first Board of Governors of the Asbestos Textile Institute mere elected November 16. 1944, as follows: George S. Fabel, Southern Asbestos Co.; George \V. Marshall, Jr., Raybestos-Manhattan, Inc.; William C. Scott, Keasbey & Mattison Co.; Edmund R. Teubner, Phila delphia Asbestos Co.; and Francis J. Wakem, Johns-Manville Corporation. The Board of Governors then elected the fol lowing officers: C. Herbert Carlough as President, George W. Marshall, Jr., as Vice President and William C. Scott as Treasurer. At the organizational meeting, the members retained F. Sims McGrath, of Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft, as legal counsel. This prestigious New York Jaw firm has represented ATI ever since that time. The presently assigned counsel is Wendell B. Alcorn. West Flint' & Co. were retained as Independent Ac countants November 16, 1944. It was their function to com pile industry production figures each calendar quarter and to report to each manufacturer his percentage of the total by i CAPCO Bel! Engineering Works Ltd.

The reporting form adopted was the same as that prescribed by the War Production Board during World War II and, in fact, is still being used by the industry. The first quarterly meeting of ATI was held March 20, 1945. The Board of Governors engaged Harris D. McKinney as Manager and Assistant Treasurer. Mr. McKinney was President of Har*D. McKinney Inc., an advertising agency that specialized in the management of trade associations. The agency now operates from offices in Philadelphia, Pa., and Cleveland, Ohio, and handles many industrial accounts. Also on March 20th the Chase National Bank was desig nated the depository of Institute funds. On July 25, 1945, Manager McKinney outlined "A Primer on Asbestos Textiles." The 2S-page booket was sub sequently printed and distributed to familiarize students with the properties and uses of asbestos fiber and asbestos textiles. On October 16, 1945, a joint.meeting was held in Sher brooke, Quebec, Canada, by ATI and the Quebec Asbestos Mining Association (QAMA). Five mines and four asbestos textile manufacturers were represented. This was the start of a program which has resulted in substantially improved quality and grading of asbestos fiber over the years. In addi tion, lowered dust count in the fiber has resulted in better yields and in improved working conditions in the asbestos textile mills. From time to time, various committees were appointed to carry forward the stated objectives of the Association. At the December 1945 conference, William S. Acuff, Sales Man ager for Keasbey & Mattison, was appointed the first Chair man of the Sales Promotion Committee. Most ATI commit tees became permanent standing committees of the Institute, with rotating chairmen and membership. At this same conference, Robert E. Cryor, then with Union Asbestos & Rubber Co. (now Unareo Industries, Inc), gave a most informative report on his inspection trip to Ger man and other European asbestos textile mills. Mr. Cryor's tour was under the auspices of the U.S. Army and he had been commissioned a Colonel for the duration of his stated activity. On December 12, 1945, Malcolm I. Ruddock attended his first ATI conference as the representative of Cadvvalader, Wickersham & Taft.

His un timely death on June 18, 1961, was a great loss to CW&T and to the asbestos textile industry. On June 13, 1946, the initial conference of the ATI Dust Control Committee was*called by the Committee's first Chair man, Ernest Muehleck, then President of K&M. The members of the Committee discussed procedures for exhausting, col lecting and measuring asbestos dust. This was the start of a highly beneficial program which is still carried forward by ATI's Air Hygiene & Manufacturing Committee. On December 12, 1946, Jesse M. Weaver, Chairman of the Technical Committee, recommended the establishment of a Research Fellowship at Rutgers University. He also rec ommended the employment of Dr. Mvril C. Shaw as Re search Fellow. Both reeommendations.were approved and the Technical Committee was given responsibility for the direc tion and supervision of the Fellowship. Dr. Shaw's labora tory was actually in the Ceramics Department of the Rutger's University Laboratory. For years, the Ceramics Laboratory had specialized in high temperature work and was well equipped to undertake high temperature testing of asbestos textiles under Dr. Shaw's direction. In subsequent years. Jesse Weaver served several terms as Chairman of the ATI Technical Committee and did as much as any man to direct the Fellowship along productive lines. During World War II wages and prices of all products were "frozen." On December 12, 1946, Manager Harris Mc Kinney notified all members of the industry that the Office of Price Administration (OPA) had removed the price ceil- ' ings on industry products. At the June 194S conference, Harris McKinney resigned as Manager of ATI and Dr. Shaw was appointed Executive Secretary and Assistant Treasurer, in addition to his duties | as Research Fellow. j At the May 1949 conference, the Sales Promotion Com! mittee presented the first Visual Aid Display. This was an illuminated cabinet outlining the origin and uses of asbestos textiles. The promotional piece met with such enthusiastic acceptance that six additional cabinets were ordered. Over ! the next several years, the cabinets were on short-term disj play at most of the technical colleges in the U.S. ' In March 1930, Dr. Shaw demonstrated the Abrado- Pa9e 8 1 Al ASBESTOS--Ausuit 1972 M CAPCO JEN 00034-21  Bending and crushing test press for sheet and pipes I 1i1 (D Bursting test press for pipes (3) Classifier for testing asbestos fibres Asbestos-cement testing machines designed and manufactured by: ALVANESCHI -a.

This instrument mea sures the comparative resistance of asbestos cloths to fric tional wear, and simultaneously their resistance to flexing. The Abrado-Flex machine simulates the two factors which generally determine the useful life of an asbestos textile in normal service. -- In April 1951, the publication of a new four-page book let was authorized. Twenty-eight-thousand copies of "The Story of Asbestos Textiles" were printed, with distribution principally to high schools and elementary schools. In December 1951, the Constitution and By-Laws of ATI were amended to permit the inclusion of associate mem bers. At the March 1952 conference, applications from two asbestos mines and from two asbestos textile manufacturers were approved: Asbestos Corporation Ltd., English Asbestos Co. Ltd., The Johnson's Co. Ltd. and Small & Parkes Ltd. Invitations for membership were also sent to Bell Asbestos Mines Ltd., The Cape Asbestos Co. Ltd., British Belting & Asbestos Ltd. (now BBA Group Ltd.) and Turner Brothers Asbestos Co. Ltd. All of these long-established members of the industry subsequently joined the Asbestos Textile Insti tute. The October 1952 conference authorized the printing of the first "Handbook of Asbestos Textiles." The 7S-page pamphlet combined product illustrations and data borrowed from the catalogs of various members of the industry. It also offered basic information and performance charts on as bestos textiles which had been developed by Dr. Shaw in the Fellowship Laboratory at Rutgers. Ten-thousand copies of the Handbook were printed in September 1953. In March 1954, it was determined that Dr. Shaw had concluded just about all the test programs he could accom plish with the facilities available to him at Rutgers. It was. therefore, decided to transfer the Fellowship and Dr. Shaw to the Philadelphia Textile Institute (now the Philadelphia College of Textiles and Science), effective September 1954. It was decided in September 1955 to purchase a most elaborate exhibit of asbestos textiles and their uses. This was to be an extension of the successful sales campaign pro vided by the seven smaller display cabinets purchased in 1949. The new exhibit consisted of four large illuminated display cabinets to be shown as one unit. During the next Pag. 10 ASBESTOS--Augutt 1972 i f i .

It was indeed a credit to the industry and to the Asbestos Textile Institute. The June 5-7, 1936, conference was a gala event in the history of ATI. It was the first quarterly meeting to be held at Thetford Mines, Quebec, Canada. The Quebec Asbestos Mining Association (QAMA) hosted the event and it was a most informative-end educational experience for all dele gates who attended. Members had a choice of going under ground into the Bell Mines (owned by Turner & Newall) or the King Mine (one of the properties of Asbestos Corpora tion). Smaller groups also visited several of the open pit mines. The hosts provided a memorable banquet at the Thet ford Golf Club. Part 2 of the "Highlights in the History of the Asbestos Textile Institute" will appear in the next issue. Your Attention, Please! We are considering reprinting, in booklet form, the entire "History of the Asbestos Textile Industry in the United States" as it has been appearing monthly in ASBESTOS since the August 1970 issue. The booklet would be the same size as ASBESTOS and would run about 100 pages. Price per reprint would be dependent upon the size of the run but would not exceed $2.95 per copy--a modest sum for what we believe is the only written account of the history of the U.S. asbestos textile in dustry . . . Are you interested? If so, please let us know how many copies you would like. If the number of advance orders is sufficient and you contact us now, we will proceed and the reprints could be available for distribution by or before No vember of this year. THE COVER Suction box covers in a herringbone pattern are used in asbestos cement machinery. Made of a synthetic material in stead of steel, the covers were developed by Messrs. Leripa, of Austria, and are marketed under the "Robalit 61" trade name. Turn to page 14 for the complete story.

Much work has gone into improvement of the basic machines and the felts on which their opetSTTon depends. As is so often the case, little thought was given to the improvement of a vital part of the machines, namely the suction box covers. Vacuum box covers play an important role in an asbestos cement machine since the friction between the felt and cover is high and a substantial portion of the power required to drive the machine is used in overcoming this friction. For many years the accepted material for covers and strips was steel. However, steel created relatively high friction and tended to develop razor-sharp edges that could cause damage to the felt. V' A synthetic material having an ultra-high molecular weight and alloyed with the lubricating agent Molykote (Molybdenum Disulphide) was developed in Austria by Messrs. Leripa, Leder- und Riemen-Patentverwertungs-- ges.m.b.H. for use as suction box covers on paper machines. This material, called "Robalit 61," was then successfully ap plied by Leripa to asbestos cement machines and it is now used in over 40 countries as a suction box cover on such machines. What makes the product so eminently suitable as a suc tion box cover material? Robalit 61 shows great resistance against abrasion due to its ultra-high molecular weight and, because of its extremely low coefficient of friction, it offers a plane gliding surface to the felt. As a result, felt life is in creased and driving power requirements drop by about one- third. Moreover, Robalit 61 is easy to machine and covers of any desired perforation pattern are offered at no extra cost. Herringbone patterns (see the front cover of this issue) have proved to be superior to other patterns as they have a beneficial stretch-out effect on the felt. As the felt is guided along the edges of the diagonal slots, it is stretched in the cross direction thus avoiding a narrowing effect and prevent- Page !4 ASBESTOS--August 1972 CAPCO JEN 00034-27 i ing folds. As a result, there is no vacuum loss at the cover ends, the sheet is much drier at the edges, and felt abrasion and formation of carbonate particles are minimized. Robalit 61 is chemically-immune and corrosion-resistant and cleaning is no p**Wem. Its affinity to cement is much less than that of steel. Installation is easy. A simple method, used in many plants, is to insert the cover into a grid frame with lateral supports. Clamps or b^lts are not necessary as the vacuum beneath the felt maintains the cover in position. This arrange ment allows for a quick change of the cover, if need be, as well as for easy cleaning. Leripa, in cooperation with felt and asbestos cement machine manufacturers, has compiled comprehensive refer ence data giving details of a number of interesting Robalit 61 installations. Costs frequently are recovered in a few months' time from savings which are the result of the increased life of as few as 2 or 3 felts. fOR FURTHER INFORMATION, CONTACT LERIPA AT MARIAHILFERSTRASS6 US.

It also gives the homeowner tips on what to considec-when choosing a residing product. FERODO FLOORING MATERIAL A new hard-wearing, anti-slip flooring material was recently launched by Ferodo Ltd., Chapel-en-le-Frith, Stockport, England. The new deck tread is a flexible molded asbestos/resin material developed by Ferodo for use where a high density of pedestrian traffic exists or for industrial applications where its water- and chemical-resistant characteristics prove particularly valuable. One of the advantages of deck tread lies in its having a high level of friction which is retained even when wet. It also has a high resistance to identation and can withstand pressures of up to 8000 lbs. psi (562 kg/sq cm).

The plant consists of eight DCE Unimaster dust control units linked to a common fan to pro vide exhaust and filtration for the braiding machines. Each Unimaster is equipped with a special secondary filter designed and manufactured by DCE so that the cleaned air can be safely retained in the factory. The dust container of each unit is lined with a plastic bag to facilitate the hygienic re moval and disposal of the collected dust. INSULATION HYGIENE PROGRESS REPORTS The Spring 1972 issue of IHPR, published by the Insula tion Industry Hygiene Research Program, advises of an ef fective, economical dust collector for use with band saws, other powered equipment and for general clean-up. Environ mental tests were made on the machine at the factory of Howard Forrest Co. in Houston, Texas, and all measure ments taken showed dust levels to be less than one fiber per milliliter (longer than five microns) during fifty cuts on the material over a ten-minute period of time. Also in this issue are excerpts from the Emergency Asbestos Dust Standard published December 7, 1971, and descriptions of four dis posable respirators that are said to provide useful respiratory protection for asbestos workers during virtually all insula tion work, except in the spraying of asbestos or the removal of old insulation which require the wearing of air-supplied respirators. The Summer 1972 issue of IHPR contains various arti cles concerned with the proposed asbestos dust standard an nounced by OSHA on June 7, 1972 (see July 1972 AS BESTOS). This edition also lists the cautions essential in the use of all insulation material and reports the findings from a survey of dust counts on construction jobs.

The apparent case with which the nomination was won can be somewhat misleading as to the vote-getting power of the candidate when election day rolls around. For example, while certain party leaders who bitterly opposed the McGovern candidacy have since pledged him their full support, for the first time in many years labor leaders have failed to unanimously endorse the Democratic candidate. At least .one large union has de clared for President Nixon and thfe AFL-CIO President, George Meany, has assumed a neutral position. Due to sev eral rather radical proposals made by the candidate prior to his nomination, businessmen in general are quite concerned about what might happen should the Senator wage a success ful campaign for the Presidency. This concern, according to some analysts, may be part of the cause of a slow but per sistent decline in the stock market which has failed, as yet, to show any signs of starting its traditional mid-summer rally. Truth to tell, the market action seems to be baffling even to the "experts," since corporate earnings show general improvement and there are no pronounced signs that the steady rise in business activity is coming to a halt. On the other hand, the fact remains that many businesses are still in the doldrums caused by earlier cutbacks in the aerospace in dustry and their rate of recovery is lagging behind that of many larger, consumer-oriented concerns. This makes for a lack of confidence in certain sectors of the economy which is keeping the brakes on anything resembling a runaway boom. Moave ijou on'clcreJ your copy of Die 4-ilciloi Dacllool ?

Reflecting-tte current weaknesses in the nonresidentia! and nonbuilding markets, the seasonally-adjusted Dodge Index (1967=100) declined 7% in June to 154. Nonrcsidential building contracts were valued at $2,446,963.000, a 12% decline from June 1971, with manufacturing plants, schools, hospitals and public buildings all below the rate of last year. Residential building contracts totaled $4,375,371,000, a 26% increase over the prior June. Apartment contracting posted a healthy 17% increase and good gains in one- and two-family housing plus a sharp spurt-by the small hotelmotel-dormitory component accounted for most of the strength. Nanbuilding contracts recorded a total value of $1,655,306.000, representing a 6% decline from the June 1971 re sults. Contracting gains for sewer and water facilities paced the nonbuilding totals but utilities and contracting for streets and highways trended lower.

CAPCO JEN 0003444 MINERAL FACTS & PROBLEMS, 1970 EDITION Part 16: Economic Factors/Strategic Considerations The varieties and grades of asbestos^ that are of greatest strategic importance arc being stockpiled. The national stockpile items are spin ning grade Chrvsotilf and Amosite. Bolivian Blue Crocidolite is no longer considered strategic. The United States is dependent upon for eign sources for 90*93% of its requirements for all grades of asbestos. Part 17: Environmental Considerations. Many investigators from various countries have established that inhalation of dust of different chemical and physical types of asbestos results in the development of asbestosis of the lung which, depending upon the type of exposure, may be designated as an occupation, a neighborhood or a household pneumoconiosis. Tltc hazards are recog nized and steps are being taken by industry to filter the air and properly ventilate mines and mills. A. leading asbestos producer insti tuted programs to prevent possible health and safety hazards and to improve the quality of air and water used in manufacturing opera tions. Environmental control activities included the development of a rotary filter system that permits the continual re*usc of industrial pro cess water. The new system which uses diatomite filter aid products reduces water demand and eliminates high-solid-effluent problems. An epidemiological survey is being carried on throughout the Quebec asbestos industry by the Quebec Asbestos Mining Association as part of a plauned international effort. Fact-finding medical research on the effect of asbestos on human health was centered in the Tlietford Mines and Asbestos districts. Similar surveys are being con ducted in the U.S., Finland, the USSR, Republic of South Africa, Italy and in other countries. Because of the universal use of asbestos and asbestos products, national and international authorities are press ing for careful investigations so that dangers can be identified and controlled. Much has been done to develop effective dust control meth ods and to create better working conditions. Xo land-use conflict problems seem likely to inhibit the produc tion of asbestos. Virtually all of the deposits are in rugged country far removed from major populated areas. The mining operations are on privately-ou ned or leased lands. Waste rock is hauled to nearby dumps and as the pile builds up, a bulldozer spreads it out. Water sprays allay the dust as the tailings are discharged. The milling of asbestos is generally a do* operation and hooded screens operate under a slight negative pressure for dust control. The King City, Cali fornia, operation of Union Carbide Corporation uses a wet milling ore bcneficintion method.

Following a construction period of two years and an expense of approximately $65 million, the Asbestos Hill project started into the tune-up stage in May and tonnage of ungraded as bestos fiber is now being trucked some 40 miles north to the storage facilities at the deefT&ite at Deception Bay. The 5000-ton per day mill, situated near the open pit mining op eration, is currently and steadily being worked up to rated capacity. Accumulated production is expected to start moving to Asbestos Corporation's finishing plant at Nordenham, West Germany, when the normal shipping season for ocean freighters opens this month. The finishing plant and related facilities at Nordenham are designed to annually treat 300,000 tons of ungraded material to produce 100,000 tons of finished fiber, mostly of the No. 4 and No. 5 grades, (North ern Miner] AB1TIBI/BRINCO AGREEMENT APPROVED Shareholder approval has been obtained, thus closing the agree ment (see May 1972 ASBESTOS] between Abitibi Asbestos Mining Co. and Brinco Ltd. regarding Abitibi's asbestos property in Maizerets Township, some 50 miles north of Amos, in Northwestern Quebec. A feasibility study made by Kilborn Engineering on the "A" prop erty showed that ore reserves amenable to open pit mining are suffi cient to support a 13,000-ton per day processing plant for 25 years. The fiber is a fast-draining, strong, clean, cross-fiber Chrysotilc, in Groups 4, 5 and 6. Other news from Abitibi . . , Dydar Holdings has been engaged as Manager of certain exploration and development pro grams ... In addition to the Maizerets deposit, Abitibi holds adjacent mining claim groups. Testing of favorable geological features on these claims will soon get underway ... An asbestos discovery was made on a property located in McArthur Township, 26 miles south of Timmins, Ontario. Abitibi holds this property under option. CANADIAN MINES BRANCH PROGRAM Underway in April was the first phase of a five-year (Canadian) $3.3 million program to devise standardized engineering procedures for designing and supporting the walls of open pit mines or for re ducing the size of open pits. According to a spokesman for the De partment of Energy, Mines and Resources, Ottawa, the purjwse of the program is to allow maximum extraction of ore at minimum physical hazard and cost. Contractors for the project are Asbestos Corporation; Smith and Bray Engineering in association with Sherritt Gordon Mines; Wright Engineers; Golder, Brawuer and Associates; the University of Al berta; Queens* University; and Ecolc Polytechnique de Montreal In addition, sub-contracts have been awarded to engineering firms and universities across Canada.

Net income for Advocate Mines Ltd. was $1,824,000 or 174 per common share, after providing for preference dividends of $806,000 earned in 1971. This compares with net income in 1970 of $1.4 million or lltf per common share. Cash from operations was $3,238,000, of which $262,000 was applied for fixed asset additions. The "Bottle Neck Removal Program" was completed in the crushing and drying building and continued emphasis was placed on environmental control in the milling operation. During the year, a computer mining pro gram was successfully developed for the mine. The benefits derived from the program are a reliable mining sequence for both short-term and long-term planning and for the elimination of undue fluctuations in total annual tons moved. The Advocate plant was one of two of the twelve reporting mines and quarries in Newfoundland to rd^jDt'd the achievement of "no lost time accidents" in 1971. During the year, 2,573,200 tons of ore, 6,589,000 tons of waste and overburden, and 242,000 tons of road rock were mined. This pro vided a total of 9,404,200 tons, with a waste-to-ore ratio of 2.56:1, against 3.85:1 in 1970. The crushing and drying plant received 2,429,500 tons of ore, with a recovery of 3.12%. The mill operated 335 days and produced 70,614 tons of A-25 fiber and 5,107 tons of A-35 fiber, at a total value of $13,946,000. Shipments exceeded those of 1970 by 10% and included 65,221 tons of A-25 fiber and 4,007 tons of A-35 fiber. At December 31, 1971, reserves amounted to 57,332,000 tons. Some development drilling was done during the year and additional drilling is planned for 1972. Canadian Johns-Manvillc Co. Ltd. is Manager of the Advocate Mines operations located at Bale Verte, Newfoundland. CERTAIN-TEED PRODUCTS CORPORATION The most profitable year in the history of Certain-Teed Products Corporation was achieved in 1971, reflecting some fundamental changes that have taken place in the company's direction, in its product mix and in its capabilities. Over the past ten years, Certain-teed has made significant strides toward establishing product lines having a strong technological base with the resulting opportunities for higher profit margins and more sustained and continuous earning power. The pro gram started in 1962 when Certain-teed entered into agreements with Turner & Newall Ltd. to acquire its U.S. interests in asbestos-cement pij>c. Certain-teed is now the second largest U.S. producer in this field. The firm is also the second largest U.S. producer of glass fiber insulation products and the largest producer of PVC piping products. A major effort was launched in 1971 to strengthen the company's reputation as a leading producer of asbcstos-ccmcnt and PVC pipe Page 40 ASBESTOS--August 1972 i i i i- CAPCO JEN I ASBESTOS ALL KINDS FOR ALL USES TECHNICAL SERVICE AVAILABLE CENTRAL ASBESTOS Co., LTD.
