A two-page Owens-Illinois intra-company memo of June 8, 1954, from W. C. Taylor, chief of the chemistry section of the General Research Division, to B. F. Truman and others in Toledo, headed "Comparison of Asbestos in Kaylo and Competitive Calcium Silicates." Taylor gave the asbestos content of Kaylo (19.8 percent), Pabco (23.5), Ruberoid (23.1) and Johns-Manville (18.7) calcium silicate insulations, and compared their fiber length and type. Kaylo used only chrysotile, while the others also contained amosite, 75 percent of the fiber in the Johns-Manville product.
