A one-page copy of a letter of May 28, 1937, from George E. Pope, factory manager of the Raybestos Division of Raybestos-Manhattan at Bridgeport, Connecticut, to A. F. Townsend of the company at Passaic, New Jersey, with a copy to M. F. Judd. Thanking Townsend for advertising matter on dust collectors, Pope wrote that after five or six months with the Roto-Clone, if it proved satisfactory, they meant to get a second unit, and meanwhile were connecting the bag collectors Townsend had sent "so as to take care of the Town Committee's complaint on dust from the roof of our Stratford Plant." At Bridgeport a Blaw Knox bag collector, "using asbestos bags made in Charleston," was "proving very satisfactory."

What it shows
The letter shows the company's Connecticut plants adding dust collectors in 1937, with the Stratford work driven in part by a town committee's complaint about dust from the plant roof. The Stratford plant was toured by a citizens' committee later that year (Pope to Judd, December 22, 1937).
