1
00:01:59.840 --> 00:02:03.520
Tremendous heat and pressure, striving to
find release.

2
00:02:04.500 --> 00:02:10.600
When the crust was torn by subterranean
upheaval, molten rock spewed upward.

3
00:02:11.240 --> 00:02:16.820
In time, millions of years of time, the
molten rock and these

4
00:02:16.820 --> 00:02:19.180
crevasses cooled and hardened.

5
00:02:19.460 --> 00:02:24.880
Then the hardened rock itself was beset by
further disturbances that left it

6
00:02:24.880 --> 00:02:25.880
heavily fissured.

7
00:02:29.450 --> 00:02:31.710
Theory says that through these fissures

8
00:02:31.710 --> 00:02:34.670
flowed hot, mineral-bearing waters and
gases.

9
00:02:35.350 --> 00:02:38.350
And as the Earth spun off more millions of
years,

10
00:02:38.610 --> 00:02:41.610
they crystallized, and in so doing,

11
00:02:42.210 --> 00:02:46.650
formed the most unusual and useful mineral
fiber known to man.

12
00:02:49.010 --> 00:02:51.810
Largely unseen, seldom recognized,

13
00:02:52.450 --> 00:02:54.930
it has played a tremendously important
role

14
00:02:54.930 --> 00:02:57.510
in the improvement of our standard of
living.

15
00:02:57.510 --> 00:03:01.230
As you might expect, the Greeks had a name
for it.

16
00:03:01.390 --> 00:03:04.930
They called it the unquenchable,
indestructible

17
00:03:04.930 --> 00:03:08.170
stone. They called it asbestos.

18
00:03:10.390 --> 00:03:15.670
Unaffected by fire, unchanged by weather,

19
00:03:15.830 --> 00:03:17.910
untouched by

20
00:03:17.910 --> 00:03:23.470
time's dark captains, rust, rot, and
decay, asbestos

21
00:03:23.470 --> 00:03:26.070
possesses rare qualities for which

22
00:03:26.070 --> 00:03:31.980
it stands alone. So fine are the

23
00:03:31.980 --> 00:03:35.320
individual asbestos fibers that it is only
through the

24
00:03:35.320 --> 00:03:39.560
eye of the powerful electron microscope
that they can be properly studied.

25
00:03:40.320 --> 00:03:41.940
Even when magnified

26
00:03:41.940 --> 00:03:47.580
31,000 times, they appear delicate,
gracefully hiding the fact that they are

27
00:03:47.580 --> 00:03:48.720
incredibly strong,

28
00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:53.160
stronger than many types of steel wire of
the same thickness.

29
00:03:53.900 --> 00:03:55.880
At the same time, they

30
00:03:55.880 --> 00:03:59.620
are remarkably flexible and highly
resistant to most chemicals.

31
00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:05.120
Man has never been able to duplicate their
fibrous properties or colluse.

32
00:04:08.160 --> 00:04:12.260
Asbestos deposits have been found in
widely separated parts of the world.

33
00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:15.160
But only in Canada, Africa,

34
00:04:16.680 --> 00:04:21.640
and Russia have abundant quantities been
discovered.

35
00:04:22.260 --> 00:04:26.800
For the geologists of Johns-Manville, it's
a never-ending search.

36
00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:32.570
The world's largest asbestos mine is the
Johns

37
00:04:32.570 --> 00:04:35.010
Manville Jeffrey mine at Asbestos

38
00:04:35.010 --> 00:04:38.310
Quebec, so named for nature's magic
mineral.

39
00:04:39.010 --> 00:04:41.570
Most deposits have a 10 to 25

40
00:04:41.570 --> 00:04:47.310
year life, but this one has been yielding
for more than half a century and even

41
00:04:47.310 --> 00:04:52.330
under the pressure of growing demands, it
is expected to produce for another 100

42
00:04:52.330 --> 00:04:58.690
years. The more than 500,000 tons of top-
grade chrysotile fiber extracted

43
00:04:58.690 --> 00:05:03.550
yearly are responsible for nearly a third
of the world's total supply.

44
00:05:04.070 --> 00:05:05.070
The

45
00:05:04.710 --> 00:05:09.810
men who began this open pit are gone.
Perhaps a few who were children in that

46
00:05:09.810 --> 00:05:15.150
time can hazily recall its beginning, but
for most of the people of the town of

47
00:05:15.150 --> 00:05:20.950
asbestos there has always been the pit. By
drilling and

48
00:05:20.950 --> 00:05:23.290
blasting and digging it

49
00:05:23.290 --> 00:05:29.200
has grown. The ore body taken from

50
00:05:29.200 --> 00:05:34.000
the earth. But pit mining is not the only

51
00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:37.740
method used to extract asbestos bearing
ore from its deposits.

52
00:05:38.220 --> 00:05:39.480
Another productive

53
00:05:39.480 --> 00:05:45.400
way is called block caving. In open pit
mining the asbestos ore

54
00:05:45.400 --> 00:05:46.680
is removed from

55
00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:51.820
the top of the deposit. In block caving,
the ore is taken from underground.

56
00:05:52.880 --> 00:05:53.880
Each

57
00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:58.120
section to be caved is 200 feet square by
400 feet high.

58
00:05:59.100 --> 00:06:01.180
Some distance away, a

59
00:06:01.180 --> 00:06:05.940
main shaft is sunk from the surface to a
depth below the area to be caved.

60
00:06:06.640 --> 00:06:07.640
From

61
00:06:07.320 --> 00:06:12.600
the main shaft, a tunnel called the
haulage drift is driven in the direction

62
00:06:12.600 --> 00:06:18.560
of the section to be caved. Then other
tunnels called cross cuts are driven

63
00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:23.200
under the area to be caved and at right
angles to the haulage drift.

64
00:06:24.260 --> 00:06:25.320
Through them

65
00:06:25.320 --> 00:06:31.160
run the mine cars. Now another system of
tunnels called slusher

66
00:06:31.160 --> 00:06:32.520
drifts are driven

67
00:06:32.520 --> 00:06:38.100
directly below the section to be caved
above and at right angles to the cross

68
00:06:38.100 --> 00:06:44.560
cuts. The floors, walls, and roof of all
slusher drifts are heavily reinforced with

69
00:06:44.560 --> 00:06:50.400
concrete. Through the roof of the slusher
drifts, draw points 17

70
00:06:50.400 --> 00:06:53.000
feet apart are pushed up into

71
00:06:53.000 --> 00:06:58.600
the section to be caved. The ore body
above the draw points is now

72
00:06:58.600 --> 00:06:59.820
drilled and blasted

73
00:07:00.230 --> 00:07:05.840
and the asbestos laden rock tumbles down
through the draw points to the floor of

74
00:07:05.840 --> 00:07:06.840
the slusher

75
00:07:06.280 --> 00:07:12.040
drift. Now the crab-like slusher drags it
to a point over a

76
00:07:12.040 --> 00:07:13.360
crosscut where it

77
00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:16.380
falls into the 10-ton mine cars waiting
below.

78
00:07:16.660 --> 00:07:19.120
The beginning of a long journey.

79
00:07:19.380 --> 00:07:24.820
Now crude ore, soon useful asbestos fiber.

80
00:07:26.920 --> 00:07:29.580
All traffic is controlled by a central

81
00:07:29.580 --> 00:07:33.780
dispatcher through two-way radio and an
electric signal system.

82
00:07:34.300 --> 00:07:35.580
What with modern

83
00:07:35.580 --> 00:07:41.180
service facilities, repair shops,
storerooms, lunch rooms, the mine is

84
00:07:41.180 --> 00:07:44.740
actually a community at work a thousand
feet underground.

85
00:07:46.520 --> 00:07:48.180
At the tipple near the

86
00:07:48.180 --> 00:07:51.240
main shaft, the cars are dumped two at a
time.

87
00:07:52.680 --> 00:07:55.820
The ore roars down a giant chute to

88
00:07:55.820 --> 00:08:00.900
the primary crusher on a lower level and
the crude asbestos rock gets its first

89
00:08:00.900 --> 00:08:06.280
refinement underground. From the crusher
it will go downward into bins

90
00:08:06.280 --> 00:08:07.720
and then a

91
00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:11.820
loading pocket from where it will be
hoisted in twelve and a half ton

92
00:08:11.820 --> 00:08:16.140
mouthfuls by fast-moving skip buckets that
shoot it to the surface.

93
00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:17.800
Working

94
00:08:17.520 --> 00:08:22.640
underground the miners of Asbestos Quebec
utilize the most advanced mining

95
00:08:22.640 --> 00:08:28.400
methods using fast boring drills. In their
many different jobs they are

96
00:08:28.400 --> 00:08:33.100
protected and guided by the highest safety
standards light

97
00:08:33.100 --> 00:08:37.700
power ventilation structure

98
00:08:38.670 --> 00:08:43.560
all are important in the daily production
of more than 12 000 tons of ore

99
00:08:43.560 --> 00:08:46.930
all are important

100
00:08:46.930 --> 00:08:52.850
in protecting the men who do the block
caving from beneath the

101
00:08:52.850 --> 00:08:55.350
earth and from out of the open pit

102
00:08:55.350 --> 00:09:01.210
Asbestos-bearing ore, crushed and dried,
comes by way of conveyors to the

103
00:09:01.210 --> 00:09:02.210
dry rock

104
00:09:01.810 --> 00:09:07.550
storage shed, where it is temporarily
housed in great quantities until needed

105
00:09:07.550 --> 00:09:08.550
at the mill.

106
00:09:11.910 --> 00:09:17.850
Those stories tall, the world's largest
asbestos mill, equipped with the

107
00:09:17.850 --> 00:09:19.050
most modern refining

108
00:09:19.050 --> 00:09:24.910
machinery, remarkably dust-free, designed
to process up to more than 800

109
00:09:24.910 --> 00:09:26.110
tons of ore

110
00:09:26.110 --> 00:09:31.790
an hour. The mill, a towering monument to
man's thought and labor

111
00:09:31.790 --> 00:09:32.990
standing against

112
00:09:32.990 --> 00:09:38.630
the sky. Into its air-conditioned
immensity, the

113
00:09:38.630 --> 00:09:40.370
asbestos fiber comes to be

114
00:09:40.370 --> 00:09:45.390
stripped from the mother rock. On a series
of vibrating screens, waste

115
00:09:45.390 --> 00:09:50.310
particles of rock are shaken from the
fiber. Then sucked up into giant

116
00:09:50.310 --> 00:09:53.530
aspirators, it is further husked of its
impurities.

117
00:09:54.030 --> 00:09:57.540
In this carefully calculated

118
00:09:57.540 --> 00:10:03.420
process the fiber is refined again and
again finally to be

119
00:10:03.420 --> 00:10:04.480
tested and graded

120
00:10:04.480 --> 00:10:09.380
according to its length under quality
control standards which demand the best

121
00:10:09.380 --> 00:10:15.160
from crude ore to refined fiber through
the

122
00:10:15.160 --> 00:10:17.700
magic of man's ceaseless ingenuity

123
00:10:18.820 --> 00:10:23.780
now packed and ready for shipment to
hundreds of different points around the

124
00:10:23.780 --> 00:10:29.540
globe all from the town of Asbestos yes
Asbestos Quebec

125
00:10:29.540 --> 00:10:32.940
is a small town but more than that it's an

126
00:10:32.940 --> 00:10:38.520
attractive town a friendly place modern
and up-to-date its citizens

127
00:10:38.520 --> 00:10:40.700
close-knit by common bonds

128
00:10:45.260 --> 00:10:50.360
here's the community golf course where the
Bobby Joneses of Asbestos perfect that

129
00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:51.860
old swing and

130
00:10:51.860 --> 00:10:56.460
well, sometimes carry their mining ability
to unusual extremes.

131
00:10:58.400 --> 00:11:04.260
The mine, and the mill, and

132
00:11:04.260 --> 00:11:06.860
the few thousand men of the town who work
them.

133
00:11:07.100 --> 00:11:12.760
A small place doing a vital job, sending
the fiber on its way.

134
00:11:14.480 --> 00:11:16.880
What do you do with the fiber when you get
it?

135
00:11:17.280 --> 00:11:18.680
What do you turn it into?

136
00:11:19.280 --> 00:11:21.580
How does it contribute to better living?

137
00:11:21.860 --> 00:11:27.760
how does it enhance our daily lives let's
start

138
00:11:27.760 --> 00:11:29.580
with our homes the

139
00:11:29.580 --> 00:11:34.280
attractive roof which protects us against
fire and weather will never rot

140
00:11:34.280 --> 00:11:40.260
or decay because the shingles are made of
asbestos and cement cement

141
00:11:40.260 --> 00:11:41.260
could not

142
00:11:40.920 --> 00:11:46.540
do the job alone a cement shingle would
break easily without the reinforcing

143
00:11:46.540 --> 00:11:52.600
qualities of asbestos. But when asbestos
fibers are added, it becomes

144
00:11:52.600 --> 00:11:58.360
strong and tough, amazingly so. Strong
enough and tough

145
00:11:58.360 --> 00:12:00.020
enough so that it can

146
00:12:00.020 --> 00:12:03.280
even be made into large, flexible sheets
like these.

147
00:12:06.580 --> 00:12:11.800
When these fireproof sheets of asbestos
and cement are used as the exterior wall

148
00:12:11.800 --> 00:12:17.420
finish of our homes, we enjoy the
permanence of stone combined with the

149
00:12:17.420 --> 00:12:23.420
beauty of vertical accent so desirable in
contemporary architecture in

150
00:12:23.420 --> 00:12:28.680
traditional architecture colorful asbestos
sidewall shingles give us the

151
00:12:28.680 --> 00:12:34.260
same permanence and freedom from upkeep
expense not only new houses

152
00:12:34.260 --> 00:12:35.340
but old

153
00:12:35.340 --> 00:12:40.020
houses as well can have the same benefits
with a remarkable improvement

154
00:12:40.020 --> 00:12:45.600
in appearance and not only outside but
inside as well

155
00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:48.820
asbestos helps beautify the home with

156
00:12:48.820 --> 00:12:54.620
colorful vinyl asbestos floor tile tough
asbestos fiber protects them

157
00:12:54.620 --> 00:12:56.960
against wear a swish of the

158
00:12:56.960 --> 00:13:02.880
mop makes them gleaming bright in the
court of household appliances that demand

159
00:13:02.880 --> 00:13:03.880
heavy amounts

160
00:13:03.640 --> 00:13:07.420
of electricity, asbestos provides
protective insulation.

161
00:13:08.680 --> 00:13:14.320
And no matter how long little Johnny plays
with his electric train, asbestos
insulation

162
00:13:14.320 --> 00:13:17.720
in the transformer offers similar
protection.

163
00:13:19.770 --> 00:13:26.130
When we turn on a faucet and the water
comes out sparkling clear, it's because
asbestos

164
00:13:26.130 --> 00:13:32.050
has helped guard it from reservoir to our
home in water mains of Transite, the white

165
00:13:32.050 --> 00:13:37.450
asbestos cement pipe that cannot rust.
Because it is corrosion resistant

166
00:13:37.450 --> 00:13:41.550
throughout, its smooth interior stays
smooth.

167
00:13:41.910 --> 00:13:44.110
That keeps the water pressure up

168
00:13:44.110 --> 00:13:49.830
and keeps the water bills down. Asbestos
cement pipe provides

169
00:13:49.830 --> 00:13:51.070
a health line in

170
00:13:51.070 --> 00:13:56.610
carrying off waste from our homes to the
street sewer. And asbestos cement sewer

171
00:13:56.610 --> 00:13:59.890
mains cut our tax bills by lowering costs.

172
00:14:00.410 --> 00:14:06.060
When we travel, asbestos protects

173
00:14:06.060 --> 00:14:07.380
us right in our

174
00:14:07.380 --> 00:14:13.000
family car. Every time we touch the
brakes, asbestos in the brake lining

175
00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:14.660
resists the heat

176
00:14:14.660 --> 00:14:20.520
of friction and brings us to a sure safe
stop, and does it time after

177
00:14:20.520 --> 00:14:22.080
time after time.

178
00:14:23.980 --> 00:14:29.380
Thanks also to asbestos brake linings,
your bus driver always has the modern

179
00:14:29.380 --> 00:14:30.380
express buses

180
00:14:30.280 --> 00:14:32.200
under safe and sure control.

181
00:14:34.670 --> 00:14:36.410
Asbestos goes aloft, too.

182
00:14:36.850 --> 00:14:42.350
Whenever we travel on modern airliners,
asbestos products contribute to our safety

183
00:14:42.350 --> 00:14:43.350
in many

184
00:14:43.030 --> 00:14:44.030
ways.

185
00:14:45.720 --> 00:14:51.780
When we travel by train, our ride is made
faster and more comfortable with the aid
of

186
00:14:51.780 --> 00:14:57.500
asbestos packings and gaskets which
conserve the power of the mighty diesel
engine, while

187
00:14:57.500 --> 00:15:02.360
asbestos insulations on steam and water
lines contribute to our comfort.

188
00:15:04.120 --> 00:15:09.040
At sea, ships of the American Merchant
Marine are the safest to float.

189
00:15:09.960 --> 00:15:16.240
No small part in this achievement is
played by the noncombustible asbestos
panels used

190
00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:19.640
to build the walls and ceilings of cabins
and public spaces.

191
00:15:19.640 --> 00:15:25.780
These panels are both light in weight and
structurally strong.

192
00:15:26.760 --> 00:15:28.100
On the farm,

193
00:15:28.240 --> 00:15:32.800
asbestos roofing and siding help the
farmer protect his buildings against

194
00:15:32.800 --> 00:15:36.620
fire, against rodents, and against rot and
decay.

195
00:15:38.060 --> 00:15:40.640
Inside, sheets of asbestos and

196
00:15:40.640 --> 00:15:45.540
cement make easy to clean sanitary linings
for poultry buildings, dairy

197
00:15:45.540 --> 00:15:50.500
barns, and milk houses. By thus cutting
the farmer's upkeep expense,

198
00:15:50.960 --> 00:15:52.140
asbestos plays

199
00:15:52.140 --> 00:15:57.820
its part in keeping down the cost of food.
Our

200
00:15:57.820 --> 00:16:00.560
business and industry would find it
difficult,

201
00:16:00.780 --> 00:16:04.640
if not impossible, to get along without
asbestos.

202
00:16:06.480 --> 00:16:09.460
Asbestos felts help shield the thousands
of

203
00:16:09.460 --> 00:16:13.180
miles of gas and oil transmission lines
against corrosion.

204
00:16:14.660 --> 00:16:16.960
The basis of practically every

205
00:16:16.960 --> 00:16:22.860
industrial process is heat. On process
pipelines and equipment across the

206
00:16:22.860 --> 00:16:29.080
nation, asbestos insulations, by
conserving heat, reduce industry's fuel

207
00:16:29.080 --> 00:16:35.540
bill by hundreds of millions annually.
Indeed, it has been progress in asbestos

208
00:16:35.540 --> 00:16:40.680
insulation, withstanding higher and higher
temperatures, that has helped make

209
00:16:40.680 --> 00:16:45.920
possible many of the new processes and new
products that improve our daily

210
00:16:45.920 --> 00:16:51.360
living. This same ability to withstand
high heat has made

211
00:16:51.360 --> 00:16:52.500
asbestos invaluable

212
00:16:52.780 --> 00:16:58.000
in saving power for industry. Pumps,
compressors, tools,

213
00:16:58.220 --> 00:16:59.660
all kinds of

214
00:16:59.660 --> 00:17:04.420
reciprocating, oscillating, and rotating
equipment operate more efficiently

215
00:17:04.420 --> 00:17:10.140
because of asbestos packing. And asbestos
gaskets prevent the escape

216
00:17:10.140 --> 00:17:11.140
of fluids and

217
00:17:11.060 --> 00:17:13.680
gases from a wide variety of pressure
vessels.

218
00:17:15.640 --> 00:17:18.440
Asbestos friction materials control
motion,

219
00:17:19.220 --> 00:17:22.320
withstanding the heat, shock, and strain
of braking,

220
00:17:23.290 --> 00:17:27.560
holding and releasing the drums of cranes,
drills, dredges,

221
00:17:27.740 --> 00:17:29.200
and other heavy equipment.

222
00:17:32.800 --> 00:17:35.740
Asbestos can be made into the thinnest of
paper,

223
00:17:36.330 --> 00:17:39.920
and in this form is widely used in the
electrical industry,

224
00:17:39.920 --> 00:17:45.640
enabling transformers, motors, magnets,
and other apparatus to

225
00:17:45.640 --> 00:17:46.860
carry heavier loads,

226
00:17:47.240 --> 00:17:51.620
getting more electrical productivity
without enlarging equipment,

227
00:17:52.000 --> 00:17:56.760
and thus keeping power costs down for both
industry and the homeowner.

228
00:17:57.840 --> 00:18:03.000
Asbestos cement ducts are used to enclose
the cables that carry electricity
underground.

229
00:18:04.000 --> 00:18:08.880
Costs are reduced, and we are better
protected against interruptions of
service.

230
00:18:12.160 --> 00:18:16.940
Asbestos fibers can also be spun into
yarn, like cotton or silk.

231
00:18:17.460 --> 00:18:22.920
Yarn which is woven into strong,
protective fabrics of various thicknesses
and weights.

232
00:18:26.620 --> 00:18:32.420
Industry finds wide uses for asbestos in
its buildings, just as the farmer and

233
00:18:32.420 --> 00:18:33.420
homeowner do.

234
00:18:33.540 --> 00:18:37.060
So do schools, hospitals, and public
buildings.

235
00:18:38.840 --> 00:18:42.520
Roofs built of asbestos felts bring added
fire protection

236
00:18:42.520 --> 00:18:46.240
and effectively safeguard the buildings
and their contents.

237
00:18:48.020 --> 00:18:53.100
Asbestos cement exterior walls provide the
freedom from maintenance that building

238
00:18:53.100 --> 00:18:54.100
owners want.

239
00:18:54.360 --> 00:18:59.620
Rust-proof and durable, they are resistant
to chemicals, fumes,

240
00:18:59.980 --> 00:19:03.180
heat, smoke, steam, and weather.

241
00:19:03.180 --> 00:19:09.040
inside the building asbestos movable walls
make it possible

242
00:19:09.040 --> 00:19:11.780
to change space layouts without a

243
00:19:11.780 --> 00:19:17.700
costly loss of time and with complete
salvage of existing materials and

244
00:19:21.180 --> 00:19:23.380
asphalt or vinyl asbestos

245
00:19:23.380 --> 00:19:28.460
tile is probably the most widely used
flooring in business commercial

246
00:19:28.460 --> 00:19:31.200
and institutional buildings

247
00:19:31.200 --> 00:19:36.580
Yes, products of asbestos fiber make an
important

248
00:19:36.580 --> 00:19:38.740
contribution to practically every

249
00:19:38.740 --> 00:19:44.720
phase of our lives. And it is here at the
Johns-Manville

250
00:19:44.720 --> 00:19:46.860
Research Center, largest of

251
00:19:46.860 --> 00:19:50.260
its kind in the world, that such products
are developed.

252
00:19:51.300 --> 00:19:53.560
Here the scientists, technicians

253
00:19:53.560 --> 00:19:59.400
and other workers have at their service
the latest and most modern aids to
scientific

254
00:19:59.400 --> 00:20:05.180
research tools to enable them to find
still newer better ways for

255
00:20:05.180 --> 00:20:06.180
asbestos to

256
00:20:06.080 --> 00:20:11.340
serve mankind it took millions of years
for nature to create

257
00:20:11.340 --> 00:20:13.560
asbestos fiber it

258
00:20:13.560 --> 00:20:19.480
was only a hundred years ago that a man
named H. W. Johns had an idea how it could

259
00:20:19.480 --> 00:20:24.480
be made commercially useful this is how
that idea has grown

260
00:20:24.480 --> 00:20:26.980
from one man to

261
00:20:26.980 --> 00:20:33.020
thousands of men and women, to mines and
factories in the United States, in Canada,

262
00:20:33.120 --> 00:20:38.180
and even across the sea, in Belgium, and
in far-off Africa.

263
00:20:41.620 --> 00:20:45.680
Many have shared in the accomplishment of
this first 100 years.

264
00:20:46.440 --> 00:20:52.180
Thousands of people who, through their
labor and skills, or the investment of
their dollars,

265
00:20:52.420 --> 00:20:55.560
have built another of man's great
industries.

266
00:20:55.560 --> 00:21:01.230
We are now in a new age that daily

267
00:21:01.230 --> 00:21:03.930
brings forth new scientific realities.

268
00:21:08.370 --> 00:21:13.890
Man is moving toward new frontiers, the
vast reaches of the universe.

269
00:21:14.590 --> 00:21:19.930
It is a realm where unbelievable pressures
and temperatures will be commonplace.

270
00:21:20.950 --> 00:21:24.590
In the realization of this greatest of all
adventures,

271
00:21:25.350 --> 00:21:31.690
Johns-Manville Asbestos, the magic mineral
of nature, will be playing its vital role.

272
00:21:33.950 --> 00:21:36.330
No, this is not the end.
