FQSEtSO, EMC. INTER-COMPANY AND INTER-DEPARTMENTAL CORRESPONDENCE to-. H.D. Wright FROM: w.c. Fletcher date; June 27, 1974 * subject: Asbestos-free 454 PROFAX for Sharon Steel Your memo dated June 24, 1974 I am somewhat surprised to receive your memo in view of the fact chat we were all aware that the 454's referred to by J. Thebo were shipped to Sharon at your request knowing that they were substandard. Since J. Thebo's report, we had further runs on this top, and we did in fact supervise the pulping and the test fitting of the finished shape. According to J. Thebo, the subsequent shipment was a considerable improvement on the earlier experimental tops. Nevertheless our productivity was very low, and Mike Wood may have come com ments on this aspect and also on the problem of providing a suitable shrink wrap package. The question of the flange on this one-piece hot top "fusing to the casting" will no doubt be considered by A. Santighian, who received a copy of your memo. A recipe change would be needed if this is a problem. The same goes for the report of itching when handling the new recipe. Finally, what is so special about this item and this account which demands the shipment of known defective material and such uneconomical production? WCF:lam cc: H.D. Shephard G. Fenton D.J.
