What it shows
The report was Leroy Gardner's interim account of the asbestos dust experiments that Raybestos-Manhattan, Johns-Manville and other companies were paying for at Saranac Laboratory (the report in these papers). Vandiver Brown had sent it to Simpson on December 26, 1939, and Simpson passed copies to his division heads, the same day sending one to E. H. Jeffords at North Charleston.
