Beties, Jr. As edited by the Staff of ASBESTOS Chapter XXVI: Highlights in the History of the Asbestos Textile Institute PART 2 The Fiber Evaluation Committee was established at the ATI conference held June 5, 195S. Clyde R. Hutchcroft, of K&M, was elected first Chairman. In June 1962, under the direction of Clyde Hutchcroft, the Cokirhittee published 3400 copies of an authoritative 169-page manual entitled "Testing Procedures for Chrvsotile Asbestos Fiber." An up-dated 236page revision was printed in 1966 under the direction of Chairman Irvin Barnett, Johns-Manville Corporation. The manuals were issued under the joint sponsorship of ATI, QAMA and the Asbestos Cement Products Association (ACPA). By December 195S, the supply of the first edition of the "Handbook of Asbestos Textiles" had been depleted and it was voted to produce a revised second edition. Howard Bain was engaged to undertake the assignment. He had recently retired as Industrial Advertising Manager for Johns-Manville Corporation. Again, a great many members of the industry contributed to the project. George J. Harris, of Southern Asbestos Co., was especially helpful to Howard Bain. In September 1961, 15,000 copies of the 100-page second edi tion were distributed. The third and current edition was printed in January 1967. By June 1963. Dr. Shaw had concluded all of the proj ects he could profitably undertake with the facilities available to him at the Philadelphia College of Textiles and Science. The ATI Board of Governors, therefore, reluctantly decided to conclude the Fellowship. During an association of more than sixteen years. Dr. Shaw had made many' accomplishments that advanced the status of the asbestos textile industry and its trade associa tion, the Asbestos Textile Institute. In his capacity as Re search Fellow, Dr. Shaw produced sixty technical reports Page 4 ASBESTOS--September 1972 * CAPCO JEN 0004110 Asbestos,;1 Ifs the newest thing in airport runways. '!

The result:.improved strength, longer life. Asbestos is a unique material--incombustible, lightweight and ; tough. Indispensable for hundreds of protective uses--in vehicles, in pavement, in public buildings, in homes, on ships at sea, in aerospace. > Without asbestos, life for all of us would be a lot more hazardous.

A good deal of the valuable technical data has been included in the sev eral editions of the "Handbook of Asbestos Textiles." Dr. Shaw also did an excellent job of representing the industry in its necessary contacts with Federal governmental departments. For example, he assisted in the writing, and in subsequentlyfSvising, of the asbestos cloth specifications pub lished by the Bureau of Ships, U.S. Department of the Navy. In his capacity as Executive Secretary of ATI, he arranged for quarterly conferences and made all of the necessary hotel reservations. His businesslike methods did much to promote the success of a long series of industry conferences. The pre mature death of Dr. Myril Clement Shaw on November 12, 1965, was mourned by all members of the industry. Herbert E. Sunbury retired March 30, 1962, as Sales Development Manager-Asbe.stQS Textiles for U.S. Rubber (now Uniroyal). In July 1965, he was prevailed upon to ac cept the position of Executive Secretary and Assistant Trea surer of ATI and has to this day carried out the duties of these offices with distinction. The headquarters of the Asbes tos Textile Institute were moved in 1963 to the present loca tion: 75 Center Street, Pompton Lakes, New Jersey. On February 6, 1964, the Air Hygiene & Manufacturing Committee, chaired by L. C. Williams, of Raybestos-Manhattan, Inc., issued a fifteen-page pamphlet titled "Method for Determining Asbestos Dust Concentration." The literature described the best available testing techniques of the thencurrent state-of-the-art. The October 1964 conference was a festive affair, held at the Barbizon-Plaza Hotel in New York City, and marked the 20th Anniversary of the Asbestos Textile Institute. At the February 1965 conference, Dr. L. J. Cralley of the U.S. Public Health Service (USPHS) reported on his findings from a survey of working conditions at various as bestos textile plants. He expressed his appreciation for the fine cooperation afforded him by Management, Employees and Unions. This was the beginning of the Federal Govern ment's concern with possible health hazards at plants that are engaged in the manufacture of all asbestos-based products. Dr. J. W. Axelson, of Johns-Manville, presented a tech nical paper on the "Testing of Asbestos Fibers--Discrete and Bulk Properties" at the conference held in October 1965.

D. McCluer began the task of up-dating all of the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) specifications for asbestos textiles. This was done in cooperation with ASTM Committed-13, Sub-Committee A-4 (see June 1972 ASBESTOS, page 6). At the February 1966 conference, Joseph P. Wronski (Raybestos-Manhattan) presented a technical paper on "The Role of Fibers and Whiskers in Reinforcement." This ex cellent paper was reprinted in the August and September 1968 issues of ASBESTOS. "The Use of Asbestos Textiles in Industrial Products" was the informative paper presented by G. EUwood Houghton of Garlock Inc. at the conference held February 10, 1967. The June 1967 conference was held in Montreal, Quebec, to afford the membership an opportunity to attend "Expo '67"--an international World's Fair. It was at this meeting that the purchase of Bausch & Lomb dust counting equip ment was authorized at a cost of $5000. The equipment was to be used to monitor dust counts in plants of member com panies. On October 5,1967, Hilados y Tejidos de Asbesto, S.A., Mexico, became an associate member of ATI. The highlight of the February 1968 conference was the presentation of an outstanding paper by Paul O. Nicodemus, of General Electric Company, titled "Asbestos Textile Electri cal Insulations--Properties, Present and Future Importance" [reprinted in ASBESTOS in the April, May and June 1968 issues]. On June 6, 1968, Dr. L. J. Cralley (USPHS) reported on the status of his "In-Plant Health Study." He also dis cussed his paper concerned with the "Characteristics and Solubility of Metals Associated with Asbestos Fibers." Also at the June 1968 meeting, Dr. G. R. Cuthbertson, Technical Director, Uniroyal Fiber & Textile Division, gave an infor mative lecture on "The Acceleration of Textile Technology." An Asbestos Health Seminar was sponsored by ATI on October 2, 1968. Clifford L. Sheckler, Chairman of the ATI Environmental Health Committee was in charge of the wellattended, three-hour program held at Hotel Hershey, Hershey, Pennsylvania.

Guest of honor at the October 1968 general meeting was Miss' t!3ith E. Cox, Editor of ASBESTOS for many years, and recently retired. The application of Nicolet Industries, Inc., for regular membership in ATI was approved at the June 1969 confer ence. Edward W. Fisher, of Garlock, presented a paper on "The Use of Asbestos Textiles in the Packing Industry" at this conference. On June 19, 1969, the Environmental Health Commit tee urged all members to develop dust-free asbestos fabrics, to avoid the loss of U.S. Navy business. On February 5, 1970, the Board of Governors approved the application for associate membership in ATI of two as bestos textile manufacturers: Nippon Asbestos Co., Tokyo, Japan; and Asbestos Textil, S.A., Mexico. Brought up for discussion at the June 1970 conference was "The Threshold Limit Value for Airborne Asbestos Dust" and related labeling requirements, proposed by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH). These proposed stringent regulations posed a most serious threat to the entire industry. In April 1971, the Air Hygiene & Manufacturing Com mittee, under the Chairmanship of H. M. Willingham, Uni royal, Inc., issued a sixteen-page instructional pamphlet titled "Measurement of Airborne Asbestos Fiber by the Membrane Filter Method." On June 9, 1971, the ATI Board of Governors approved the application for associate membership of Manufactures Multiples, S.A., an asbestos textile manufacturer in Caracas, Venezuela. Also at this conference was the announcement by Milton Q. Scowcroft, Chairman of the ATI Asbestos Advis ory Committee, of the availability of 25,000 instructional booklets concerned with the "Recommended Health Safety Practices for Handling and Fabricating Asbestos Textile Products." The new literature is available, without charge, from anj' member company or from ATI headquarters. Wendell B. Alcorn, Legal Counsel, gave a comprehen sive review, on February 3, 1972, of developments under the Williams-Steiger Occupational Safety & Health Act (OSHA) Page 10 ASBESTOS--September 1972 CAPCO JEN 0004116 [ CAPE ASBESTOS The World's Biggest Producer of Amphibole Asbestos t CAPCO JEN 0004117 which became effective April 28, 1971. On March 14, 1972, ATI sent Alexander Kuzmuk (a member of its Board of Governors) to Washington, D.C., to attend the scheduledEjjblic Hearing and present testimony before Arthur M. Goldberg, Hearing Examiner, U.S. De partment of Labor, stating the objections of ATI members of the asbestos textile industry to the proposed asbestos dust standards as published in the Federal Registers of Decem ber 7, 1971, and January 12, 1972. He aiso expressed objec tions to the recommendations proposed by the National In stitute for Occupational Safety & Health (NIOSH) in its criteria package, and by the U.S. Government's Asbestos Advisory Committee. In this chapter, due recognition.must be given to the ATI Fiber Committee which consists of representatives of each of the principal Canadian asbestos mines. At each ATI conference, a senior officer of a mine gives the members an up-to-date report on the demand and supply situation for the various grades of asbestos spinning fiber. The reports gen erally cover not only the United States and Canada but also the other major markets throughout the world. As the reader will readily recognize, it is the standing committees of ATI that carry forward the sundry activities of the Institute. A complete history of ATI would list all the committee' chairman and their years of service. In view of space limitations, it is practical to list only those who have occupied the most demanding post, that of president.

The Asbestos Textile Institute has faith fully served the best interests of its member companies for twenty-seven yeats*-Hopefully the next decade will record even greater levels of accomplishment. Conctuiion This twenty-sixth chapter of "The History of the As bestos Textile Industry in the United States" concludes the series. Obviously it has been impossible to give due recogni tion to each and every individual who, somewhere along the line, has made a substantial contribution to the growth and prosperity of the industry. j However, with the willing and able assistance of Her bert E. Sunbury and with complete freedom of access to the f storehouse of information in the files of ASBESTOS, this chronicle has been made as complete and factual as possible insofar as major events and outstanding individuals are con cerned. It is hoped this record of past accomplishments will en courage younger men to lift the industry to an even greater state of usefulness. The writer's thanks go to ASBESTOS for having un dertaken the publication of this "History." 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.

Bettes, Jr., was bom July 7, 1904, in Bayonne, New Jersey. Follow ing graduation from the Philadelphia Tex tile Institute in 1926? he joined his father's hardware jobbing firm of Bettes & Ebsen. He began his asbestos textile career in 1929 when he became a salesman for Southern Asbestos Company. In 1939 he joined Raybestos-Manhattan, Inc., as Sales Manager of Asbestos Textiles. During World War II, under War Production Board supervision, he was instrumen tal in directing the facilities of R/M in providing a major portion of the unprecedented large tonnages of asbestos insula tion used as component parts of shipboard cable in the naval construction program. In 1940 he collaborated with Jesse M. Weaver to publish what was at the time the most com prehensive catalog of asbestos textile products ever published. When the Industrial Sales Division was separated into two divisions in 1952, Jack Bettes was named Sales Manager of the Asbestos Textile Division. He became Manager in 1955. He served as President of the Asbestos Textile Institute in 1957 and 195S and ably directed one of ATI's most memo rable occasions, its 20th Anniversary celebration held during the October 1964 conference. The Certificate of Apprecia tion, which is the highest commendation awarded by ATI. was presented to Jack Bettes in 1966 for "his many years of devoted and distinguished service to the asbestos textile industry . . In 1971, ATI recognized his untiring efforts in compiling and writing the "History" by naming him "Offi cial Historian of the Asbestos Textile Industry, USA." A dedicated company man and loyal to those who worked for hitn. Jack Bettes has gained the respect of competitor and business associate alike. Ill health forced an early re tirement on July 10, 1966, and he now resides with his wife at Delray Beach, Florida. He keeps busy with bridge, golf and bowling but still maintains an active interest in R/M, ATI and the asbestos industry as a whole.

Rogers Corporation, Rogers, Connecticut, has developed two new families of asbestos-acrylic gasket materials called GP/duroids. There are six new materials in all, evenly divided between the top performance 3600 line and the more eco nomical 3700 line. Available in rolls or sheets, each beater processing gasket material is a homogeneous blend of asbestos fibers and a specially compounded acrylic binder that will withstand, without embrittlement, continuous exposure at 300F to 350F. Compared with compressed asbestos mate rials, GP/duroids are said to offer better temperature resis tance, equal or better torque retention, fluid resistance supe rior to all but higher-priced asbestos sheets, greater unifor mity and lower price. REFLECTION METERS Model CG-166 has been added to the series of Reflection Meters manufactured by CRIterion Instruments Ltd., Don Mills, Ontario. Available in a laboratory styling or in an in dustrial format for continuous inspection, differences in color barely discernible to the human eye can be spread over 1000 scale divisions.

Despite substantial increases in corporate earnings, dividends are not keeping pace and this has a tem pering effect on stock prices. Many companies are using in creased earnings to improve their liquidity and others, are hesitant about increasing dividends in view of the Adminis tration's avowed fear that such increases would impede the battle against inflation. There are indications that inflation is finally coming under control even though productivity is not increasing as rapidly as had been predicted. Several large banks have increased their prime interest rate to 5per cent and some authorities are predicting a six percent rate by the end of this year. There is some concern that rising rates may result in a shortage of mortgage money with con sequent adverse effects on the healthy construction industry. However, the liquid position of many large corporations may reduce their needs for heavy borrowings to a point where plenty of mortgage money will continue to be available. As this is written, the Republican Party has nominated Richard Nixon for President and Spiro Agnew for Vice President and the Presidential campaign will soon be in full swing. At the moment the odds seem to favor the NixonAguew team and Senator McGovern, whose campaign has already started, has met with some rather cool receptions in his appearances before certain groups such as the Veterans of Foreign Mars. However, it will be some time before a strong trend toward either party's candidates will become evident and it is possible the contest will develop in such a way that it will go right down to the wire before the winners will be known.

The low of the range indicates an average annual growth rate of 1.4% while the high indicates 2.6%. The forecast was derived by contingency forecasting of major enduse demands considering possible shifts caused by changing technol ogy during the forecast period. Higher-than-normal growth in de mand was experienced during the decade between 1940 and 1950. By 1950 the total increase over the 1940 level was 200%; half occurring during the war years. Merely maintaining this level for an imported material in the face of increasing competition from low-cost synthetic products would be difficult, but demand for asbestos since 1950 has gained about 1% per annum. The 1968 demand for each end use was projected to the year 2000 at the forecast growth rates for appropri ate economic indicators to arrive at a forecast base. The quantity of asbestos indicated by the projection methdd for each end use was modified to obtain a demand range contingent on the occurrence of technologic or other changes in the consuming industries. U.S. de mand for asbestos in the year 2000 is expected to be nearly twice that of 1968. Demand from the rest of the world should show a faster growth rate since the developing countries have a greater new con struction potential. The high of the forecast range for the rest of the world is established at ten million tons for the year 2000, an average annual growth rate of 4.2%. Should these countries be so beset with problems as to prevent an increase in general living standards, the ex panded consumption of asbestos would be directly related to popula tion with an average annual growth rate estimated at 2.2%. Part 10: Outlook/Construction Demand for asbestos for use in construction products is con sidered to be related to the forecast growth rate of 4.5% of total new construction. In accord with that presumed correlation, a forecast base of 2,949,000 tons for 2000 was established. However, the histori cal growth rate has been at a significantly lower rate than total new constuiction, a factor that must be taken into account. Also, substitu tion is possible in some end uses, particularly in paints, caulking and asbestos-cement products. The most apparent opportunity for an in crease above the forecast base is paradoxically in the asbestos-cement products that are competitive with lumber and other building products, many of which are rapidly increasing in price. A judgment analysis of the demand contingency factors led to a forecast range for 2000 of 983,000 tons or :/i of the forecast base for the low and 1,475,000 or l/i of the base for the high.

CELTIC/SENTINAL NOW ON THE SCENE Celtic Minerals Ltd. has entered a tentative option agreement with Seminal Resources Ltd. to acquire a 70% interest in an asbestos property in Cleveland Township, Quebec, in the same serpentine belt that contains the Johns-Manville and Pathfinder orebodies. An engi neer's report and the final agreement armin' preparation and will be submitted for regulatory authority approval. Both companies are in corporated with a British Columbia Charter; Sentinel in 1972 and Celtic in 1970. (Northern Miner] PROGRESS AT CHIBOUGAMAU Rio Tinto Canadian Exploration (Riocanex) recently completed an all-weather road and the underground work program is now under way at McAdam Mining Corporation's asbestos property near Chibougamau, Quebec. A 1000-foot incline is being sunk under the "C" zone which can be extended to cut across a complete section of the ore zones. Additional equipment has been installed at the pilot plant to facilitate reliable processing of the samples to determine the best methods of fiber extraction and preparation. PAN OCEAN & PATHFINDER NEGOTIATING Pathfinder Resources Ltd., Vancouver, and Pan Ocean Oil Cor poration, New York City, are negotiating an agreement that, if con summated, will result in the development by Pan Ocean of Path finder's asbestos property in Cleveland Township, Quebec. According to Pathfinder, confirmatory drilling has indicated over 45 million tons of asbestos fiber-bearing material. CERRO PROPOSAL APPROVEO Hellenic Industrial Development Bank S.A. (ETVA), a govern ment-related bank in Greece, reportedly has approved in principle a $30. million asbestos-mining project proposed by Cerro Corporation. It is understood that ETVA plans to meet with local mining and manufacturing firms to obtain financing for a 100,000-ton-pcr-year asbestos mine and plant at the Zidatii deposit near Kozani.

LTD. Results of the year's trading in 1971 showed a considerable im provement over 1970 lor The Cape Asbestos Co. Ltd., London, Eng land, arising from the measures taken in 1970 and 1971 toward the reduction of costs and an increase in output at manufacturing opera tions in the United Kingdom. After charging interest on loan capital and overdrafts, crediting income from investments and providing for tax and for the interests of minority shareholders in subsidiaries, 1,878,000 was left for distribution compared with 1,464,000 in 1970. Earnings from the Manufacturing Division .improved by 45% to 2,019,000. Profits from the mines improved slightly to 1,706,000, although the need to convert overseas currencies to sterling at the new rates reduced the amount in sterling terms by 140,000. Due to difficulties encountered by Don International s.a., Belgium, since it commenced manufacturing friction materials in 1967, it was decided to reduce the scale of this company's operations but still maintain the foothold already gained within the European Economic Community. The Cape Group disposed of its holding in Oranje Roller Meule Bcpcrk, Orange Free State, South Africa. Manufacturing Division--Profitability was restored to more levels in the operations of Cape Universal Building Products Ltd., Watford, manufacturer of a wide range of building materials. Marinitc Ltd., Glasgow, maker of incombustible panels for marine and land use, had a i>oor year largely as a result of inadequate control at the factory. Cape Insulation Ltd., Stirling, Scotland, again had a good year with further increases in sales and profits. Cape Asbestos (Ireland) Ltd. produced satisfactory results in carrying out contracting work from Dublin, Ireland. In South Africa, both Cape Asbestos Insulations (Ptv) Ltd. and Caposite Applications (Pty) Ltd. reported small losses for the year. Successful years were reported for Trist, Draper Ltd., Bristol, and for Small and Parkes Ltd., Manchester. The de mand for brake and clutch linings and disc pads for new motor ve hicles was at a depressed level for most of the year. Replacement sales were good and total demand was showing an upward trend at the end of 1971. Exports of friction materials increased and the sueccssful operations of licensee companies and associates are a steadily increasing source of revenue. At Bcnoni, South Africa, Cape Asbestos Insulations (Pty) Ltd. reported an increase in sales but an unsatis factory overall performance at the factory. Mining Division--The tonnage of fiber produced from the Amosite mines at Penge increased only slightly in spite of the commis sioning of an extension to the treatment plant designed to produce a new short grade of fiber known as S.44. The somewhat disappointing result w-as due mainly to a serious fall of hanging wall in the mine which limited the number of working places and created problems in the provision of sufficient ore of good quality to the mills. The Blue asbestos mines at Kocgas and at Pomfrct continued to be worked efficiently. Reserves at Pomfret were further extended and additions Page 46 ASBESTOS--September 1972 ' * !

Cape Asbestos Fibres Ltd., Johannesburg, and North American Asbestos Corporation, Chicago, Illinois, performed efficiently during the year in promoting sales and disposing of the output of the mines. MSAULI ASBES LTD. Msauli Abes Ltd., Johannesburg, Republic of South Africa, re ported a consolidated net profit for the 18*month period ending December 31, 1971, of R762,278. Of this amount, R639.369 was earned during the first twelve months (R84,460 in 1970). Profits were ad* versely affected by a deterioration in the ore grade and a consequent increase in unit cost during the last quarter under review as well as by the slump in the market for Chrysotile asbestos which began in August 1971. Expenditures on fixed assets amounted to R501,000. During the 18-months covered in this report, 1,203,384 tons of overburden were removed, 644,347 tons of ore were crushed and 60,698 tons of fiber were produced, with aruaverage percentage fiber recovery of 9.42%. Because of increasing depth of quarrying, it will soon become economical to gradually change from open-cast mining to underground stoping. The changeover will take approximately two years to com plete. An accelerated tempo of pre-development is now possible and will be maintained for the next few years to promote'selectivity in mining. Underground exploratory diamond drilling is being used to assist in planning the development and to gain an intensive, detailed assaying and evaluation of the orebody. Since year-end, the under ground section of the New Quarry area has been made available for development by means of a main haulage system and the course of the Msauli River is in the process of being diverted to allow devel opment and sloping at the sector that lies north of the Chris section. Marketing prospects for 1972 are good and current indications are that total 1972 production will be sold. Msauli Asbes continues to hold the entire issued share capital of two subsidiary companies. African Chrysotile Asbestos Ltd., the active mining company of the group, undertakes mining activities in the Barberton District of the Eastern Transvaal. Msauli Krisotielasbes Ltd. has not done any business during the period under review.
