A March 2, 1962 internal memo from W. C. Kuryla explains that a statement attributed to Dr. W. J. Tapp in the February 23, 1962 status report on fibrous fillers in urethane foams was not meant as a legal opinion. The attached status report describes hand-foamed flexible polyurethane foams with fillers including glass fiber and asbestos fiber, and notes that glass fiber gave the greatest load-bearing increase. It also includes a data table and distribution list.
