These numbers are predicated for the years 1983-1985 on the fact that there will be government (state or federal)
legislation mandating non-asbestos materials.

^1, Per our discussion May 12th, it will be relatively easy to
obtain non-asbestos approvals from brakp--manuf-aefcurer^ such
.as Rockwell and Eaton. However,.-'iir~order to sell this
iai--to Uie OEMs'"with the exception of Mack Corporation,
evidence must be presented to cost justify the 30% premium*/
e-are requesting for non^asbestos materials^"CJEMs such
as Whie and Ford Motor Company will'~not"Huy non-asbestos
^materials on the moral issue of non-asbestos versus asbestos, y/^SSt on-Ly if the government mandated them to do so or if the
premium could be justified based on longer lining life,
