A Maaotte. Asbestos Corporation. I.u i.. has served to keep the industry adviseel as to the fibre availability Mtuation. The fifth committee. kno^n as the Fibre Testing Committee, is a new activity within the Institute bavin been established dur- injtx 195S and C. R. Hutchcrnt't was selected to direct the work of this roup. It is the purpose of this committee to esaluate and. if and when necessary. devivV new methods or techniques whereby tlve characteristic:- and propers ie'* of .tdxMO' fibre' may be deter mined. Through a cooperative effort with Quebec A'bestO' Miners Association and Asbestos-Cement Products Association there is being atlected an inter-industry approach to the problems involved. . . The Fellowship laboratory under the direction of Dr. M. C. Shaw assists the several committees in their endeavors and also conducts a research program which is continually seeking out and investigatin': new products and new applications of present dav materials of interest to the industry. " The interests and activities of the Asbestos Textile Institute- arc* continuallv being extended to cover the ever increasing fields of utilization wherein the products of our'industry may find ap plication. Through an industry-wide approach to the problems which are being encountered, the Institute provides an invaluable service tor these member ccmpanies that cooperate in its en deavors. It is with regret and a feeling of great loss that wc* report the death of two of our active members during 195S, Mr. B. W. Luttenberger and Dr. M. S. Maier, both employed by Raybestos- Manhattan, Inc., at Manhcim, Pa., and both very active in the work of the Institute. The loss of these men will be sorely felt, however, their contributions to the asbestos industry through their active participation as members of the Institute will stand as Ifcing memorials to their dedicated efforts.

Nominating, and Publicity, there has been a new committee added called the Handbook Committee. This Com mittee has a very valuable undertaking as its objectiv; namely, the publishing of a handbook for use of our membership and all others interested in thermal insulation, In this handbook will be four sections, all of which will be extremely Valuable to those active in the insulation industry. j- v 1. The Technical section--a few topics to b included are heat transfer theory and calculation^, heat losses, conomies, cements, mastics, glossary of terms. V 2. Specifications--to include application specifications for pumps, heat, refrigeration, and condensation control, fields to be examined in this are piping vessels, rectangular ducts, refrigeration space, underground systems, etc. . 3. The Standards and Details Section--to trover such items 4 as insulation of Ranges, valves, corrugated bellows, expan sion and contraction joints, etc. !." -i. Contractual Matters-- such as typical contracts, field measurement forms, method of measurement form, etc. Each month there has been a meeting on Some subject of vital interest in the insulation field, and attendance has been ex cellent.
