W. C. Thurber's Long-Range Plan Papers for the Asbestos SPU: LRP Guidelines, Forecasts and Assumptions (1975-1976)

Eight pages of Asbestos SPU long-range planning (LRP) papers. They include Thurber's May 1976 LRP guidelines for 1977-81, a May 1976 memo asking for average sales prices per ton, a handwritten 1975 five-year Calidria forecast by product, and a list of critical assumptions for the 1976-1980 plan. Also included are an operating and revenue statement, a telex page that is hard to read, a clean second copy of the guidelines, and a May 1976 telex with a grade-by-grade forecast for 1977-1981.
